Yeah, this week has been kind of... weird so far. There's just something about this week, I dunno what... but something. Maybe I'm just getting sick or something?
Anyways:
So... Chelsea vs Man U? It will be an awesome showdown! United will crush the blue babies!
Yeah, me and Nicke were just chilling this incredible Valborgsmässoafton, how lame eh? Had some interesting discussions about UFC 84 and Wanderlei Silva. :P
I wonder if I should try to learn how to record and edit music in Linux instead? Or maybe that's just something I just shouldn't do. I mean, I can hardly get my sound card to work in all the media players in Linux, how on earth am I gonna configure it for good music recording? And I'm not sure my VSTi's is working properly in Linux. And I'm to tired to check it out now.
Remember folks, there's a HUGE difference between "infinite" and "infinite big". Universe is "infinite" NOT "infinite big" :D (It all depends on what you believe in I guess, but if you ask me the universe IS infinite.
I've noticed something... when I'm really tired I write weird stuff. Haha, that's awesome.
Damn week!
Thank you!
and
good night!

Ubuntu and Valborgsmässoafton
I've now installed Ubuntu. And it works kind of good I guess. I had some trouble configuring the drivers for my sound card, but I finally managed to disable the damn AC'97 card!! !#"¤#
And configuring computers is now fun again! I feel like a real newbie =) Even the supposedly simpliest task can be quite tough in Linux when you're not used to it. But it's all worth it in the end!
And oh, also got my new keyboard today. A Trust...something something... And even though it feels great typing on I've noticed some, well, kind of huge flaws. One is that the software that activates all the media keys crashes when you try to use.. the media keys :/ Could be my windows version that screws it up.. but still.
In Linux it works without installing anything, you can just choose the layout and key set and you're good to go.
It also works kind of weird with my KVM-switch, but that's a minor problem really so I won't go into that.
Valborgsmässoafton today... So there should be alot of partying and burning stuff up tonight. I'm not sure what my plans are for tonight, heck I don't even have plans for tonight. And I don't really wanna miss CL, Chelsea vs Liverpool... quite exciting actually. Go Liverpool!!
And speaking of CL.. Man U won yesterday!! That was a relief! I do want to see more of Messi though, but I guess I can't have it all can I?
Whoa, this became a quite lengthy post. So I'll stop right here, and update later tonight perhaps.
Party on Valborgsmässoaftonsfirande människor!

English B
There! Just did one of the national tests in English B, and now my head hurts. 100 minutes of writing about adolescent behavior and how much pressure our young people takes sure isn't fun. Not when writing with pen and paper! That's sooo last millennium! Ha... ha.....hha.
I wonder if it's possible to get Ivory (and other VSTi's) to work in Linux. I'm very tired of Windows XP, and I most definitely won't try Vista again, boy that OS sucks if you ask me! But I guess it's an inevitability if I continue using PC...
Hmm.. maybe I should install Linux on a new partition and go with dual-booting. Yeah!
Now I'm gonna go read up on distributions.
*poof*

Släktkalas igen
So another party with relatives has come to an end... Andy's birthday.
And it was nice as usual. I only had one glass of whisky and now I'm going for some coffee and some Cubasing I think! So another sober weekend! Feels really great actually!
Talked to Jesper at the party aswell, and he said he really wanted to jam some Metal! I told him me and Nicke might be interested, but we need somewhere to jam... :/
And I wonder if I should start with playing guitar again, or if I should try playing the piano. And if so, how am I gonna get enough volume? It's not like we have a P.A...
And I really really need to buy a new computer, mine is all messed up.
I wish it wasn't so expensive

Always bring the weather!
So the weather here in Halmstad has awesome these last two days! I actually played basketball with Freddy yesterday, I truly suck at that sucky sport!
Liverpool vs Chelsea 1-1... So very unfortunate for Liverpool. Poor Riise! There will be a war on Stamford Bridge!
Today it's Barcelona vs Manchester United... GO UNIIIIITED!
And I have a test later today... haven't studied at all... so it should be interesting. :(
Ok, I'm off!

OpenOffice and Ivory
Alright... so Daway keeps on rockin'! Guess the world needs more english, and that I will try to give it.
So yeah, MS Office got f*cked up today, and now I've uninstalled it and installed OpenOffice instead. I really recommend OpenOffice, it's like MS Office but not as big and it doesn't hog all the memory! And it's free!!!
Get it here: http://www.openoffice.org/
I've been playing along with some Dream Theater songs this morning, and umm.. those guys knows how to play, and I don't :(
Ivory's Italian Grand sounds almost BETTER than the regular Grand Piano. I don't really know how to describe the sound, it just sounds soooo good. If you're interested in recordning music and want piano in your songs you really should consider buying Synthogy's Ivory pianos.

You're not gonna regret it!

Svenska
Nä nu har jag beslutsångest igen, över en löjlig liten sak som vilket språk jag bör använda mig av i min blogg här.
Nu har jag skrivit på engelska ett tag, men jag känner att det hindrar mig lite i det jag vill säga. Min engelska är verkligen inte vad den borde vara :(
Så idag har jag testat Ivory Italian Grand och det är helt otroligt bra ljud! Helt klart det bästa VSTi jag testat, i alla kategorier. Eller tja, när det gäller piano i varje fall.
Har även varit på Galgberget och promenerat med Freddy idag. Kändes som en bra runda!
Och mitt Word vill inte fungera! Jag kan alltså inte skriva mina skolarbeten i det programmet för tillfället, mycket jobbigt!
Ska trixa lite med det och se om det ordnar sig!

UFC 83
Wow... WOW! No, I don't mean wow as world of warcraft.. I mean "wow" as holy sh*t! The UFC 83 was awesome. The fights had it all; technique, strength, blood, humour, awesomeness. I guess I'm a little psyched right now since one of my favourite MMA fighters won his fight, pure "pwnage" as the WoW generation would say.
Though the fightcard wasn't that great if you ask me, but the fights were still entertaining and/or interesting. The GSP vs Serra match was undeniably the best fight for this event (since GSP rocks), but I really liked the Goulet vs Hironaka fight aswell, a really good fight with two unknown fighters. (Unknown to me I might add)
So...
Mark Bocek can really take a punch, Kalib Starnes is a great runner :D , Bisping is back and so is Rich Franklin.
Thank you UFC for a great fight night!

UFC 83 Countdown
Alright
So I've been at a preparty at Jessica's today. Totally sober!!! Kinda unusual, but interesting indeed.
Jennifer and Jenny were also sober so I was in a good company. =)
And now Nicke is 25, hip hip.. hoooraaay!
Never went to Morfar's though.
UFC now then...
2 hours until UFC 83 starts, I'm getting really excited here.
I'll probably update here later tonight. Now I'm gonna mess around with Cubase.

The Man From Earth
Howdy!
Watched the movie The Man From Earth with Walle and Nicke today. Really interesting movie, might come off as an anti-christian movie, but I really thought it was kind of... well, thoughtful.
I watched Countdown to UFC 83 aswell, the Serra vs GSP match is looking more and more interesting. I'm still rooting for GSP, even though Matt is looking quite awesome aswell. Guess we'll see what happens this Saturday! Whooohaa!
And about Cubase...
I've decided to record some Dream Theater covers, The Spirit Carries On and Through Her Eyes but I'm not really sure if I should be the one singing or if I should ask a friend do it. Or just go with an instrumental version of it, though that might be quite boring I guess.
And Ivory.. MAAAAN it's good. I played along with DT's Solitary Shell, and I couldn't tell the difference between their recorded piano or the thing I was playing. (By sound, not the actual notes... since I don't rock that much)

Ivory
I have now installed Synthogy's Ivory and I must say "WOW". It's a really great VSTi! I would say you can't get better sound than this. (If you're looking for piano sounds that is)
I've only tried the presets sofar, and they do NOT let me down. Amazing.
The samples takes quite a large chunk of your HDD and RAM, but it's totally worth it. I feel like a true pianist when I use it, and I'm actually not that good at playing the piano...
I did try the Art Vista Grand Piano VSTi too, and I kind of liked it... but compared to Ivory, it's rubbish!
Play safe!

Work
Had a couple of stressful days this week.
Been working at Expert Stormarknad these last two days. My work description was "fixing computers", and that was what I was doing. There were 8 laptops that needed to be fixed if possible. And since the laptops were to be sold again I couldn't use any illegal programs or anything that wasn't verified by Microsoft, and that made the work much tougher than I thought.
Working with the laptops made me realize that I really want a laptop for recordning music. But I guess I need a really good computer to be able to use it with Cubase and all the samples I have at hand. I'll see if I can find a good deal somewhere.
Went to the chiropractor yesterday aswell, and it went quite well, feeling better. Though it was awkwards when she asked me to take all my clothes off! It would've been ok if she wasn't, well.. kind of hot, but yeah, kind of awkward indeed.(I know I'm silly :/). Anyways, the procedure was smooth, as always, and my shoulder feels somewhat better, it's getting there! Soon I can take up my MMA-training again.
I have no idea what's up this weekend. Probably nothing, but it's not impossible that I might go to Morfars tomorrow.
Far och flyg! Två fina svenska ord på F.

Släktkalas
Calle fyllde 55.
En trevlig afton ute i Gullbrandstorp som vanligt.
Dock var jag väldigt trött eftersom jag inte sovit något förra natten, Cubase höll mig uppe! Och jag har inte heller druckit någon alkohol alls i helgen. Måste tighta till mig snart alltså!
Har hittat en underbar vst-plugg till Cubase, Miroslav Philarmonik. Riktigt nice alltså.
Håller även på att fixa Synthogy Ivory också, 32GB ljudbank, det kan ju bara bli sååå vackert pianoljud av det.
UFC 83 is coming up! 14 days left. The fights are ok I guess, but I'm only really looking forward to the Matt Serra vs Georges St-Pierre matchup. The card could've been better, but UFC 84 isn't far away so I have to bide my time.
Lots of stuff happening lately, but I'll write about em some other time. kk?
