most of my friends are leaving this weekend for a week of skiing and drinking. sucks having to stay home..
on the same subject; one of my friends told me the other day: "peter, it doesn't suit your personality having a job", I don't know exactly how to interpret that:/

friday, we finished our project in finance, 40 pages report on valuation of ISS, using the P/E- and "discounted cash flow"-model. as always we ended up tuning the parameters for the different models to get the results we wanted. but nevermind that, the important thing is that only one course remains for this semester, the dreaded "organization and method".
this course employs a totally different way of learning - interaction and dialog.
huh, you might think - but yes everything else is monolog and group studies.
problem is I doubt very much that I would learn anything from my classmates, so the plan is to make the required three presentations, kick serious butt in those, and just take the time off until the final project and exam.
remember, I gotta prepare and sort out paperwork for california!!

bittorrent is an ingenius p2p application.
you click a link and a small file is downloaded, bittorrent will launch this file and start downloading the "real" file from the p2p cloud, as soon as you have a small chunk of the file you will start uploading to the p2p cloud. the smart thing is that you don't have a shared folder or anything like it, you are only contributing to the p2p cloud with the file you are downloading. also the system works on a tit-for-tat concept, ie. the faster you upload the faster your download will go.

so how do you get started? - go download and install bittorrent
now visit these sites which have some bittorrent content to try it out...
donkax -bittorrent
turok.info

please make sure that you have the legal right to download a file, in denmark this means you have to own the dvd/vhs/cd if you are downloading anything..

Without protest, Americans are giving up freedom.
"Do we citizens care at all about the future of our children or the plight of the millions of citizens in this country of Arab descent, or those who nonviolently oppose government policy? We have repeated for so long the slogan "it can't happen here." But the darkness and terror of totalitarianism is coming rapidly."

lots of people don't know of rss, or haven't really tried using it. rss is a powerful mixture of the push/pull mechanism for getting content. traditionally you would check lots of websites each day for new content, some sites multiple times a day. such a waste of time.
with a rss news reader like feedreader(windows) or netnewswire(mac), these websites are checked each hour or whatever you specify, and any new content is downloaded, you are notified .. it's just like checking your email.

so where is the catch? content, content, content!
there are plenty of useful rss feeds, however most of them are somewhat hard to find, look for an rss link or a orange image with rss or xml on it.

Here is a few links for finding rss feeds:
My subscriptions
asdf.dk - list of danish feeds
newsisfree.com
syndic8.com
myrss.com - create your own rss feeds for ANY site
so grab a news reader from the above urls, and subscribe to the rss feeds you like!
