Semester project RoboArm

Our next semester project is an pretty advanced robot arm. The assignment is to make it programmable and make it able to identify elements and sort these correctly. Its going to be one of the easier projects i think, partly because we are going to prioritize documentation over coding this time and at last we are going to use a true object oriented programming language: C#. I would have chosen java above C#, but IHA is almost pure Microsoft which i think is kind of sad, but understanding Microsoft software and being able to create new software is of course a must. Anyways, its going to be a good semester and thats that :-)

Xbox 360 flashed

Some weeks ago i wanted to try and flash my sony-ericsson k800, to debrand and customize it. I failed because of CID51, and had to bye my way out of it. Yesterday i started on a new project, patching my xbox 360 dvd drive firmware, and after 3-4 hours of intense research and work (spending at least one hour searching for my torx kit) i finally got it working, original games still works, know i just need to create a backup and make the final test, but everything seems to work, with only a few flesh wounds to my poor fingers ;-) Yeah

Water in Vejle

The entrance to my brother and his girl friend's apartment was heavily flooded, do to some serious raining over the weekend. That's me btw going ashore ;-) and yes it is fucking cold!

Soffi

My mom's new dog.. Very cute, don't you think?

Project almost done!

Finally, we got our Cruise Control up and running, there is still some minor faults, but no biggies ;-) Now we can concentrate on the documentation, and with the deadline just around the corner (5. Jan 07) we should have plenty to do.

And the party goes on ;-)

Oh joy, the holidays are here :)

A party almost every day, and not nearly enough money as a student :( but as you can see its all worth it ;)

Design Patterns

Huston Design Patterns
A really nice page explaining GoF (Gang of Four) Design Patterns, including examples in C++ and Java code, and some exercises.

Happy 1st of December

It's been too long since the last time i made an actual post. I have had a lot to do, and still have. School has taken almost all of my spare time, we have a deadline this Monday and its going to be at bit tight. But i think we are going to do just fine, and I'm hoping for an 10 (compared to a A i think, or maybe B+ ?). Since summer i have started digging into C# and a bit wxWidgets for C++.
In my spare time i try to keep contact with most of my "older" friends, and of course my family :-) I have also some time to kill with either my favorite TV-show: "Two and a Half Men" or the console game: "Destroy All Humans", both tremendously entertaining :-P
I have also recently "departed" my, now ex, girlfriend for 2 years an about 7 month. A very sweet girl, but we just have our differences but it seems that we still can be friends, so that's great :-)
Thoughts: studies are still a bit of track, considering that i like high end programming like GUI or game engines, and we are still working with embedded systems and some signal processing. Those subjects are not my cup of coffee :-P
Well gotta go back to my studies.. C yah
