  1. Well, I'm Erik (with an k. it's kooler, ref. Thief of time / Pratchett). Nick since forever is above (kinda liked it since xastur is perhaps the most creepy deviless in The Necronomicon, and xastor should (imho somehow sound like the male counterpart). I'm a student, and therefore lazy. Ergo ctrl+c / ctrl+v... Favourite game: Evil Islands (If you can, buy it. It's an RPG thats well worthwhile to go through.) Favourite OS: Gonna be an arse here and say XP (though Vista is a good nb 2. Havn't really tried *nix atm. *buntu seems pretty userfriendly though. And I REALLY hate OSX. (bad config at my school. Somehow they've mushed up the serverconn. I actually think I've heard something about it beeing an OSX-Exchange conn., so if someone got some ingenious tip there it would be great...) Favourite console: Never owned one. Exept GB. Two games. Tetris and some racecar-thiing. My sister stole it. For tetris. I butfucked the computer instead. Nationality: Viking Accent: Viking with a gigantic twist of no-nb (Norwegian-"newlanguage/bokmål". We're 4,5mill, we've got 3 diff lang to write. We're støpid.) Sex: Male Age: 20ish+ Race: White European Height: 1870mm Status: Kinda bored (reformating winXP) Build: Slimmer than Inspector Gadget on a long day Favourite band: Hmm... RATM, Korn, Mr.Bungle, Clawfinger (YM:stammen is a unheard of Norwegian band. Ok texts though. You would'nt understand shit. Probably...) Favourite book: Should've said LOTR, or WoT (CRAPPY GAME THOUGH), or Discworld. Gonna say Sword of Shadows (x3) although I'm still missing the last book... Favourite author: Terry Pratchett (Condolances(?) btw) Favourite movie: The Quest for the Holy Grail (MontyP), although Walace & Gromit is on the list with "some" more Favourite director: Kevin Smith (Gotta agree here...) Favourite TV Show: The Tick Favourite actor: No question. Bruce Campbell (just had to get AoD in among the favs too...) Favourite actress: Does porn count? Favourite Pinup: Actually. I'm sorry. I obviously watch to much porn to notice (or really, the name function in my head sucks. big time. More often I'll use 3 weeks to learn one name. (lastnames kinda stick though.) Favourite Comedian: Rowan Atkinson Other hobbies: Photography, Crappy graphic design, fishing, hiking, hating my crappy computer with its hardware prob (im to cheap to fix (prob mobo) and im in the lookout for a somewhat new comp...) Car: My fancy legs. Theyre great. In Norway it's $8,18 per gallon atm btw (if my math is still with me). 5,08NKO->1$ / 1gl=3,78lit / 1lit=11-12NOK / (For your possibility to dubblecheck. Occupation: The worst graphic student in the world. (Or just student.) I'll might update this thingy some time. Or not.
  2. Hi. Long time viewer (aprox 36 hours), no time poster (since this is my first post). Anyhow. I was more or less just sitting here, clickcing around while my other computer installed Windows. Again. (It's actually some sort of corrupting hardware. I cant just boot, I've gotta boot and then reset to get the bios to find all the disks). Sitting there, googling and really just waiting watching 103 updates from Windows Update corrupting my system, I started thinking about Color Calibration. Most likely it's because I'm studying to become som sort of crappy designer. The problem is this, tools for color calibration is expencive (since I'm a student and in need of beer) and therefore, since, as to my knowledge, the simplest form for color calibration only seems to make some adjustements according to the temperature of the light in the room, it should be possible to create something that does this out of a webcam. I'm pretty sure it would work like crap compared to real color calibrators, but wouldn't it be cool if the webcam already integrated in your laptop (since everyone gets that now) adjusted the screen according to the lightsource around? And better yet, if it actually worked sort of like a color calibration tool. Although like a crappy one? I could'nt find anything like that googling (since I'm a lousy googler) but perhaps someone knows about a similar program? Or, if it does'nt exist. . . I'm to stupid to make it happen, but that's what YOU are here for isn't it? To describe my "hacker" experience. I DID NOT DISMANTLE THE VACUM CLEANER! (Dismantled everything else though. And even managed too disdismantle some of it. Sometimes it even worked. But since I only used 1 week to fuck up my first computer I kinda place my self in the nøøb (norwegian and monty python fan, everyone else here say's n00b :-?) section. PS: the fact that im norwegian is my exuse for typos. engrish is crappy no matter how you look at it. it's because of the vikings. we were drunk while invading you. sorry.
