Well, as surprising as it may seem, I’m finally got to the stage where I had to start thinking about graduating and along graduation comes thesis. So when I had a chat with my teacher about my future studies, we came to an agreement that I’d be working on my thesis during summer. This is because I want to do so. Working during summer is good financially, but who the hell wants to work on school stuff after a day of working. So I said to my teacher that I’d do it during summer.

My practical training ends on Friday and after that I’ve about 3 months of holiday until courses start again. So during summer I’ll be working on my thesis and I chose to take a couple of courses that can be done at home. A Swedish course and this other course about IT systems. I also tried to get an English course, but couldn’t catch the teacher. But my priority will be on the thesis… though it’s not that rough really to be  honest.

Thesis is about consulting a new website for this dog breeding company. Not sure if dog breeding is the term to use here, so pardon me for insulting anyone :)
So I’ll be doing a few website design layouts and investigate on the possibilities on how to make their current website a bit more fascinating and modern. That means finding out possible CMS systems (if any) and working on different coloured layouts. Right now I’ve been thinking of Cutenews and Wordpress as the CMS, but we’ll see what I come up with :)

That’s about it…

Oh and the graduation… Well assuming that I get to stay in school (running out of years to study again), less than a year :)

Some of us might remember the days when 33,6kbs was a superb speed for using the internet. Nowadays that feels extremely slow when the speeds are like 100 times faster. But Engadget.com reported today about a guy who found a 45 year old modem from his friend’s widow’s attic. She didn’t need it so he got it and decided to try connecting it to the internet. Speed of this is 300 baud which isn’t really comparable to modern speeds, but it’s slow :D

Pretty interesting to see how slow the Wikipedia website loads even though the graphical elements are non-existent in this text-based version of a browser used:

It’s getting to me. I feel like I’m too old for this study and party life nowadays. A couple of years ago I was ok with 2 days of partying a drinking. Now I can barely make it through one night :D
5 years ago 3 days wasn’t a problem, but now at tender age of 28, I’m starting to become a wussy :D

I did drink for two days, but yet I feel like I don’t understand it that much anymore. No hangovers or anything, but I just don’t enjoy it that much =/

Now, I don’t mean to be rough on this one… Or well, I do. Just can’t avoid it. But we’ve seen Bianca Ryan in the America’s Got Talent show a couple of years back. This eleven-year-old did really well, but just a few minutes ago, I noticed something while browsing a Finnish website that has videos (Riemurasia). And what was notable is that it had Britney Spears in 1991 Start Search competition auditing for something, I don’t know what for. And they sound exactly like with Bianca Ryan to my ear.

So be careful Bianca, you might have a bright future in your hands. And watch out for those paparazzis :)

Here are the videos too:

It was time that I changed something on my site. So when I noticed that my Wordpress backend was really out-dated, I decided to upgrade it. On top of that I decided that I cleaned my server a bit so I deleted a lot of bulls**t and installed a fresh WP over there. Then I just imported all the posts and comments to new system. I must say this is a huge leap forward compared to what WP used to be during the old 2.2 version :)

Anyway, plenty of changes coming up in the future as I’m installing plugins and tuning up the site to make it work the best way possible :)

Daigle out.
