I have been away from blogging for a few weeks. I passed the the first two math examinations and am therefore finished with my first course at the university. 6 points secured, 294 to go.

Flashy SMS reminders for your Linköping University schedule

*** NOTE: This guide is very outdated and does not work at all any more. The University has redone the whole calendaring system.

We had decided to go in smaller groups this time to avoid getting all our group blasted in pieces by one single apple grenade. I and two comrades started in the [...]

Call for aid!

If anybody reading this blog lives in Linköping or attends the Linköping University and has either a computer cable for the Canon PowerShot G2 or a CompactFlash memory card reader (USB or PCMCIA)  I would be overwhelmingly grateful to you if you could borrow it to me for a few hours.

Immediately I applied for what I want to study – Teknisk Fysik International at the College of Linköping. Hopefully I will be accepted, I was accepted last year (I declined because of my Elida [...]
