November 2007, a time when I had no concerns about my future, no stress. I look to that time with nostalgia, now that I'm about to go to my final exams :(.

Yep :). COM5 is a virtual serial port actually. I used the Arduino and a thermal sensor to measure the temperature of the cooled air. Although in the room the temperature was at about 30C, I doubt it the cooled air was at 23C, it felt more like 10C, but the sensor probably heats itself and there isn't much contact surface with the cooled air either... I used an old CD case. I made a hole through its cap and attached a computer fan. I also carved( yeah, no clipping tool here, sorry) a hole through the transparent plastic which also serves as the ice holder. Warm air is pushed inside and it comes out cooled.
I'm not a son of a beach, but still it's hot here. This wasn't a dildophonic capacitor, nor a masturbator, but nice imagination anyway.

Nice showreel man! I always wondered how is that "color distort" effect made. Do you know a tutorial or something on that? I mean, the whole image and text "spasm".

I'm trying to get into Automatics&Computers engineering, but there's going to be a difficult math test( already went to a simulation and got a 7, but I'll have to be better than that if I want no taxes). If I won't succeed there, I'm heading to Informatics.
Can't believe how many of TWHLers are also graduating :). Congrats to you too! Oh we're also throwing a graduation party tonight. I hope I can come back on my feet home :)).

HDD noise is absolutely normal. And if your hard-drive is quite old, you shouldn't bother. As Stojke suggested, you should do a health scan. There's also HD Tune for that.

Interesting. I'm finishing high school soon too, and exams await me. I'm a bit scared of course, and it's curious that I haven't had nightmares yet. I am crushed, though, by the thoughts and nostalgia that are being brought up to me when I look at younger colleagues and friends. They look like birds in the sky to me, they don't feel the burden of life. My way of calming me down is to think that they too will pass through these years, as others have, and I was too a child once... it's just my turn now. So cheer up!
Urby, it's interesting that I met one of my best friends online too, here on TWHL :).

The truth is that I have dreamed about TWHL, or at least meeting TWHL members in the past. I can't remember the dream though, and I didn't note it down :(. Interesting Inception-like dream though. Keep dreamin'.

Yeah they contain some toxic compounds, according to wikipedia: "neurotoxic cyanogen glycosides and immunosuppressive cyclic nonapeptides". I've read somewhere though that scientists have tested for these effects on humans with a 60g portion and nothing happend, so I suppose only on special occasions or if you consume a rather big portion of flaxseeds you'd get intoxicated.
I use them for the Omega-3 oil and as a natural laxative from time to time.

I've had a bad weekend too after I took a hand of flaxseeds. They are toxic in high quantities, but normally a hand of them won't do any harm. So nausea set it and at a point a sudden strike of extreme pain went through my head. Also if I sleep less than 7 hours I can't do anything that implies intellectual effort efficiently. I'm surely intrigued by how you manage with so little sleep...

If you only now played Ep2, you're late by 5 years. But don't worry, I was late by about 2 with it too, and with half-life I was late by about 9 years...

Also, what's your talking about?

Anyway, that's a cool kid you've got there :P.
[EDIT] No, wait, I didn't!
Hoooraay!
Sorry for you.
As for your resolutions, I wish you the best of luck.

"but we should end up going to the beach and stuff, so it could be fun."
wait, isn't winter in Australia now?
What happened anyway?
Man, I remember playing this mod, although I have no recollection of actually doing it. Still, it was pretty nice for its time.

Though there is a lack of atmosphere. We need sounds, people!
