101 things in 1001 days
My ChallengeArchive for August, 2008
started #58
Today arrived my new book: “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and i had to start reading!!
when i ordered it i didn’t realize it is a book with vocabulary explanations.. it’s a bit disturbing sometimes.. and mostly not very helpful, because Adams invented most of the words, so the explanation only says: The word should name a planet or an alien race..
But i love the way adams write! I really enjoy reading it!
processing #2
i marked that task as processing because at the moment i’m very proud of me.. the keep-everything-clean-thing is working really good this time!
i clean all the dishes almost immediately after use! it’s hard work to keep it that way, but i will definitively try to!! 
finished #50 & #53
i bought an new printer today! i just wanted to buy new ink cartridges for my printer but they are soo expensive.. and as i cannot tell for sure if my printer would work with new cartridges i decided it would be best to buy a new one…And there was this nice little Epson printer with four separate cartridges.. i knew that would be the best and cheapest solution, but i wasn’t sure if it would work under Linux.. so i went back home and did some research..
i read some positive field reports, so i bought it. but i had some trouble installing it… until i downloaded TurboPrint. it’s just a demo version but works fine, so far…
oh and yesterday i ordered the “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”-Book online, so i can mark that task as finished, too.
finished #21 & #37
got my grade for the IP2 exam today! it’s a 2.3. I’m a little bit disappointed, because i expected it to be better.. but it’s ok.. i passed!
I’m more worried about that math exam.. i’m sill waiting for the grade there.
And i finished that holiday job.. i got my money last week and next week i will return the keys…
some progress, some finished
ok, updated the list finally!
i started #19. today i put some old videos an eBay.. let’s see if anyone would like to have those.. thought it would be a good idea to turn them into money
I also started #23. Wednesday our prof gave us our subjects. i have to work with Sebastian..he is quite ok.. we will do a usability test on the old AWC.. a newer version is already in progress (we are actually using it already!)
A also marked #26 as progressing, because i send that requirements specification to Mrs Burchart a while ago.. She did not talk to me yet, but she told Mr. O about some little misspellings.. but it seems to be quite ok!
And i finally watched those fantasy/science fiction films: the two Stargate films and the chronicles of Narnia! I love it! Actually i’ve never heard of Narnia before, never read those storys..but perhaps i will do that in the future.. i’m sure i would like those!
with those films i finished tasks 59 to 62!
