Sick me

Last Friday I had the pleasure of getting sick, think it is tonsillitis or something because my tonsillitises are all fucked up. I started feeling THE PAIN on an otherwise fun night drinking. The following day was less than fun, hungover and sick. I have now been sitting in my room the entire time except for a few trips to the grocery store, I tried take I short walk but ended up dead in the gutter somewhere.

I started showing improvements during the Tuesday but today is back to worse, and I somehow managed to get an eye infection, I’ve never had a proper one before but this time stuff pours out of my eye, kinda gross.

So it seems I will continue sitting here in my room being bored, and stressed, got a lot of work to do. But I’ve kept busy watching the old 21 Jump Street show, life couldn’t get much better I thought, but third season in I’m getting kind of bored with that too.

Colorful T-shirts

During a drunk night with some friends and some good movies an idea formed in my head, I was to wear colorful t-shirts, me, that’s right, me (Krister). The very next day I went online, surrounded by old alcohol fumes and thought to myself, hm, If I only order a few I will release the mistake and just throw them away so I better order a shitload of them, and so I did.

They just arrived and now I’m not so sure, on top of them being colorful I noticed that the type of t-shirt that sold the most had prints on them, so I ordered that type, even though I like clothes with crap on them even less than colorful t-shirts.

So now I don’t know what to do, I could obviously get use to jeans and hair so maybe I can get used to this, maybe, what a dilemma of unproportional size and not an first world problem at all, this is an actual problem far greater than anything previously encountered. What to do?

On a more positive side note I just added the “Fashion” category, bahahaha, that’s fucking awesome, I’ll add the “Fashion” tag as well.

QuickLink

QuickLink just got approved for the Unity asset store.

What it is:
A large-scale Unity project can easily create a cluttered project pane. QuickLink is an editor extension which allows you to add links to your most used assets to auto locate them in the project panes hierarchy.

Follow the development on Unity forums.
Get it here.

It really is an awesome place, just short of some furniture and other luxury items.

I find it to be a PAIN to work with the project PANE (there it is) in Unity, especially if the project consists of hundreds of files, it gets real messy real fast. It is just too much a PAIN (there it is again) to look around for the file you currently need, even with the filtering.

QuickLink

So I made a quick tool just letting you create quick links to the files you need, the links work just as it does in the project window, if you click them the project window will go to it and mark it for you, if you double click it, it will react as if you had double clicked them in the project window.

The links which is savable / loadable is per scene so it uses different lists for different scenes.

*Edit*
I removed the download link as I will try to get it into the Unity Asset Store soon.

Friday night I started to feel the evil spread in me in what was otherwise a good night, I tried both coffee and wine, red to be exact, and I enjoyed it all, not that I will ever become an avid drinker but my repertoire has expanded, my pallet has matured, evolved. Well after the pleasant evening I came home, scolded my self in the shower and went to bed, woke up with evil in my face.

It was not a severe case of the sniffles but I took any excuse I could to look myself in from society, after a not so quick visit to the store of course, never before have I pushed so much candy and soft drinks into my face at the same time.

The Saturday was mostly spent with the viewing of quality movies, where two stood out, the best of those two is in fact 50/50, it’s a drama comedy about a guy finding out he has cancer how he deals with it and so on.

The other movie was The Wackness, about this lonely drug dealing kid spending his summer last summer before collage. I recognize the lead guy from somewhere, somewhere good I think but I can’t for the life of me figure out where. Oop, just found out, Mean Creek, check that one out as well

Well, Sunday finally came, this time it was all about the nerdness, started out with some Riff Trax of, hm, some movie, let’s see it was… funny as hell anyways. Rifftrax are of for those who don’t know something like MST3K but voice only, including Mike Nelson.

The next movie was Nemesis from 1992, a sucky as hell movie with cyborgs.

Next time I get sick I’ll keep to the sure things like Cyborg with Van Damme.

There were more movies but I don’t remember, still trying to come back from my sugar trip. Well until next time I’ll just leave you with the following words, Diseases, get them, it’s good for you!

Me and Majken

It was pretty much the same as usual of course, Cias family was there as well, so we were a bit more crammed than usual, the upside was of course meeting my nieces, especially the latest one.

You can see more images of that event here.

New years eve was celebrated as well, with Ias excellent cooking before partaking in sophisticated social drinking over at the boss.

Should I summarize the old year, no not really, it has over all been a good year, started working out a bit, tried dating a bit, but the new year, 2012 folks will be bigger and greater. I’m starting out with not drinking any carbonated drinks for a month, and I might go see the new Sherlock Holmes movie, who knows.

Work as always keeps on keeping on, it’s all fine and dandy, I like the new students at school and Aethereus is coming along nicely as well.

I’ve been to GameX a consumer trade fair in its second year running, looking exactly the same as it did last year, haven’t grown a bit, despite being a bit boring it’s all good, nice to leave the island for a bit at least.

I’ve also changed gym, I used to go to Form Visby which they shut down as the wanted to move everything to another location, to far away for me wanting to go there. Now I go to Friskis & Svettis [En] instead,t he gym part is nices but their spinning sessions can never compare to those at Form Visby, now at Form Visborg.

Most importantly though is the fact that Eligh together with AmpLive just released a new album Therapy at 3, Eligh is as usual awesome.

I also discovered a for me, brand new artist called G-Eazy, also awesome, according to me at least, and that’s saying something.

We have had two Couch surfers here all week, John and Kara, one from Texas, USA and the other from Canada which has been nice, at the same time work has been going good, the students seem to get along quite nicely, work at Three Gates is coming along nicely as well as I’m currently implementing feature X in Aethereus. Which by the way released an in game trailer last week.

Marcus and Håkan

So except from work I’ve also been at the Jazz club [Sv] for the first time, an biweekly event organized by Roxy kulturförening [Sv], I went with Håkan and Marcus, we got a seat right at the scene to enjoy the music of Wakenius x 2, even though they did not come with a trumpet / saxophone player. Well the food was good but sitting next to the stage killed my ears, Marcus ears as well because he left quite quickly while me and Håkan just change tables after dinner.

Molding a floor - Abstract art style

Jumping quickly ahead we come to the events of today, a Saturday, a day in which me and father (making weird psycho sounds) finished molding the floor at the summer house, luckily there was just a small bit left so it didn’t take forever.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, it is as you are all well aware of a competitor to the evil Apple company and their iPad 2.
The Galaxy tab is of course running Android Honeycomb and it’s all good but there are some major annoyances, the use proprietary plugs, no mini USB or nothing, the have there own bullshit, nor is there a SD card slot or something like that, which wouldn’t be a big problem if you could just plug it in to the computer as a hard-drive, but no, you have to use their software called Samsung Crap or something, which wouldn’t install, it just tried and tried again on some weird driver.

So yeah, at first I was like all

Initial mood

But then I was like.

End mood

Well, over all it is a great machine, but it is so weird the choices they’ve made, I mean it is 2011 after all.

Freedom to all!
