JOURNAL: Full Metal Sempai (Themis Kondylis)

  • Salonica times again 2008-10-31 15:10:23 I'm leaving for Thessaloniki in 2 days and I'll stay there until Wednesday.It's been about 2 years since I last went and I'm still fond of my memories in this city.A great place to visit,a lot of good friends,a totally different lifestyle compared to Athens.
    Anyway,the reason behind this trip is this conference which is partly organized by the National Technical University of Athens:

    On another note,Gundam 00 2nd season pawns so far!!^^

     
  • So I'm finally back 2008-10-25 09:44:41 Lots of things to say,a tiring and stressful week has passed but everything is back to normal.Well,almost everything,I still have some things to take care of.

    10 days ago my internet connection suddenly fell down.The router was displaying that "login to internet service provider failed".I couldn't connect to the server of my ISP for some weird reason and everything that the technical support was advising me didn't help at all.Ok,no Internet for a while,I thought that it'd be fixed soon.But...

    Then 2 days after the internet incident and without any prior symptoms,I faced another problem,more major this time.My pc screen was all "no input signal" so motherboard or graphics card malfunction...

    Given the situation,I decided to update my whole system apart from the peripherals. New CPU,motherboard,graphics card,RAM,hard disks and the whole process from the beginning.Yeah,a boring thing that spent half of this week...

    In the meantime,the problem with the internet connection hadn't been solved.After 2 more days and 2 more phones at my ISP,I finally got internet again just 10 minutes ago...

    But at least now my system is working perfectly ^_^



     
  • Fuck 2008-10-20 09:25:42 Pc fucked up => need to buy a new one
    Problems with the thesis => no time for editing

     
  • Contemplation and weekend fun 2008-10-14 04:22:35 Soon my university days will be finished...
    I have passed all 60 subjects that are required for getting my degree(well,i have passed 62 XD XD) and only my thesis is left.I'd like to finish it quickly but given that I'm part of a research team for a project,I depend a lot on the other persons of the team.So tomorrow I'll be going to the Renewable Energies Center in order to get the last bits of info I need.Hopefully,I can get all my questions resolved.It's so frustrating when you have to depend on others to get your job done...

    On the other hand,I was pretty lazy with editing during this year.One complete solo project,one abandoned project which was 75% complete and 2 collab projects.One of them is going well (but I still have to change a lot of things on it) and the other one is on hold for now...Well,it's not that I was so lazy.It's more like this last year was the hardest one in university.

    Anyway,some fresh info.This weekend was so much fun.Saturday night I brought my university buddies at home and spent half of night playing cards(everyone was stealing the others XD) and the other half with karaoke.Lots of videos and lol moments.Thank god the tenants of my apartment didn't complain.
    Sunday was studying day,or at least it was supposed to be.Spent the morning,well not exactly morning as I woke up at midday, playing Resident Evil 1 and then slept again.Sorry but I was tired from the last day...^^
    Woke up at late afternoon and had a talk in msn with ScorpionP and SF_Phoenix about our project.And then I studied for 2 hours and went to see a movie... 
  • Emptiness 2008-10-09 05:47:23 Waiting for Resident Evil Degeneration and Max Payne while enjoying Rise Against's new album "Appeal to Reason".Less powerful than "The Sufferer And The Witness" but equally criticising (if such a word exists).Especially the song "Hero of War".

    One of my favorite quotes from the song "From Heads Unworthy:
    I'm not after fame and fortune
    I'm after you
    When I've served my time I swear
    I'll come back for you

    On the other hand,the last days have been pretty depressing,nothing new happens.Shit...
