update:

Presentation went okay, and I'll be working the next half year.
w000t finally.

Good riddens and buh-bye to johan crielaard.

I know I'm missing my friends back at school, but this really is a relief.
This work is great by the way.. It's really different from what I'm used to, but I don't care that much.
What it is that I'm doing?
In short: I'm installing projectors + screens around the country.
(classrooms, meeting rooms etc)

I'll try to take a good shot with AVS running on a big screen someday.

By the way, if anyone would like to respond in Dutch or any other language that I speak (German, French (a bit), C++, binary ASCII, etc) feel free to do so if you prefer.

wow..

Tomorrow will be the final presentation for our school's project:

Without anything physical to hold in our hands :|
I'm partially blaming us, the situation too in a small way, but in a larger way I blame Crielaard (teacher).
I know it's only usual to blame the teacher, but this guy... I know there may be worse teachers, but he's nothing anyone can be proud of.

My folks will also show up for the presentation, Bertina tried to come but she had to work. (I'll miss you, girl)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the presentation and pray this will come to a good end.

I trully don't know.

If I fail, a very bitter future awaits me.
I can't think about that now without feeling (litterally) sick so I gotta keep my hopes up.
Weather it is realistic or not.

At least my departure from the AVS forums gave me some rest in my life, also Bertina has the special power :) to keep me from getting into depressions ever again. - You're the most loving person I've ever met -XXX-

Winamp.com forums
I've decided to leave the AVS forums for at least quite a while.
In the past few months, the AVS forums have turned from a safe home into a place where it's all about who can be the most annoying or arrogant person.
Instead of quickly answering a question, the first reply will always be how much someone minds to answer the question from both noobs and regulars.

If some noob asks for a non-existing feature, there are two chances:
1) It starts with a two page long discussion - with ASM code included - about how it could be created, but noone is actually willing to create it.
2) He gets flamed for not knowing and not searching (hey... isn't asking questions what forums are for in the first place, and why you too came there in the first place?!).

If he's very lucky, someone will even answer his question (in a proper way).

I've tried to do the best I can to change this attitude, but once I noticed that I was pretty much the only regular around there who is trying to be at least a bit friendly and helpful, the amount of fun quickly started to drop to way below zero.
The forum is deaf and can't be serious at any time.

I couldn't accept it anymore like this and I had to make a statement, although I'm not expecting any results so there's only one outcome:
Leave.

I admit that I find it difficult to leave - I've known these guys for years and have shared both good and bad times with them.
It got me pretty much addicted to that place and also caused me to delay this decision for quite a while.

But one day, the hammer's gotta fall down.

The AVS forums are in no way the place anymore that I used to know and it feels like an insane and distant planet to me.

Until the day that changes, I won't be a regular there anymore

I also won't be visiting the other forums (Recycle Bin, General Discussions) anymore. (Tuggummi took over the ICafé (you rock))
I got there through the AVS forums, and I admit that I'm addicted to the AVS forum. It would be too difficult for me, at least now.
Perhaps I'll come back to the other forums earlier.

Real Life (tm)
Certain teachers are the evidence that there is no intelligent life on this planet.

1 week remaining for this period...
I'll keep my fingers crossed and type like a madman (Is that possible? Nevermind. Whatever.)

Enough about school. It sucks, 80% of LJ is has info to tell you more about that subject.

w00t! it's weekend!
it's just so friggin cold outside now.
Luckily I'm going to take a swim with Bertina (My GF) tomorrow.
That'll at least keep me warm..

Finally MattFury got fed up with the atmosphere in the AVS forums. I've posted my big post, let's see what the others think.
I started a tetris-counting game in the Recycle Bin.. loads of fun
(LiveJournal)
New layout. Fits even better in my website.

Why do people write public journals?

I keep thinking and thinking on what >not< to say here because it's public... Feels like having sex in the middle of the highway and hoping that noone will see you :s

ah well, I'll give you some public journals from time to time so that you can have some laughters too..

So... Wanna know what's up here on my end of teh big intarweb?

School sucks
Life seems to suck too sometimes but I won't let myself think that

anything else?

Hmm it's not as bad as I just described here really, but it sure feels like it from time to a-lot-of-times.

Deadlines at school are closing in faster than anyone would like and I'm not too confident about it. Gets me itchy and paranoya about pretty much everything - I can't handle such stress.

So tomorrow I will go to the company where I hopefully will work the next half year..
..Stated that I pass this period of course X(

This tension makes me feel that I'm going there for no reason because I'll fuck up anyway - knowing at the other end of my brain that I >have< to make sure I don't.

The programming that I have to do is completing fast, but it should have been done already. Yes, they're expecting me to learn C++ from ground zero, on my own and create a program for a platform that noone has used before, in a just a few weeks.
It took me ages to find out the content-less errors but I can't take that into my documents really.. All I can do is describe that BCpp can't be installed under program files.. well the program never warned be about it during the install and never gave me problems before - it started when I started using 16-bit dos-compatible stuff.

I'm a friggin noob so how could I know?

anyway, it's fixed now but I have.. eerm.. minus 3 days left to fix this :s

If only my program would be correct and the example code would be readable >:[

But today is a happyday so let's also write some happystuff.

My camera is back from repairs. w00t! I don't have time yet to make new pics and the weather sucks but at least I have it again.
You ask about PresetPack3? this is the happystuff section, dude. :P

I'm going to bed now.. tomorrow will bring an early morning without coffee.

Okay, I'm done with fiddling around.

so.. hi!

Don't be afraid to leave a short message if you read this. I don't bite and it's fun for me to know.

commenting is always enabled with me, even if you don't have a LJ account.
keep in mind though, that most of my entries will be private and, thus, hidden.

can't I edit entries?!

whatever..


copy/paste always works... I love opera

This entry is my first LJentry. Let's test around if LJ can do...

First, HTML:

this should display my emoticon as hosted on the LJ website.. without file-extention.
