Okay so as I staded earlier I skipped school today because I had a test which I wasn’t enough prepared for. I wanted to be productive with the extra time I got on my hands because of this, and to be honest I am modestly satisfied (been home for about 3h and 30 minutes now). I have worked with a layout for my portfolio website for ‘Webdesign’ and ‘E-commerce’. The layout looks like this atm:

It took about 15-30 minutes to create this. So what did I do for the rest of the time I’ve been home? Well I’ve put this image on a html document trying different backgrounds and I think I found one which I liked. I’ve also started implementing css code into the document and will soon start to slice the images.
Though doing this didn’t take 3 hours. But I know myself and I am not always as productive as I want to. I’ve been spending like 1h and 30 minutes eating in front of the tv for example. But I am still pretty satisfied with atleast getting some results. Something to show.
So what do you think about the layout? It would be nice to hear your opinion =)

So I’ve been in and out of folding at home for about three years now. I really love the idea of this project and the potential it has. At the moment I don’t fold because my current computer is a bit unstable and it dies sometimes when it is stressed. But I still visit the website sometimes to watch the statistics, or read their forums.
I really feel that distributed computing is the future. There are many problems which can be partially solved with the help of computers, and if everyone would supply their computers to distributed computing projects they would be solved alot quicker than they are today. And we would find solutions to problems which would otherwise be impossible.
We humans have access to LOADS of calculational horsepowers. But most of this is just standing on idle, doing nothing. This folding at home project got 429,225 active CPUs at the moment according to this stats page. That is a pretty amazing amount in my opinion, but what is even more impressing (and important) is the amount of FLOPS this project has access to. The project is as we speak working at a speed of 8549 TFLOPS, or 8.5 Peta FLOPS (!!).
Now this is alot of computational power. But it is still a really small cut of what is available around the world. I do not have access to any numbers, but I would imagine there is well over 100 million computers in use around the world. If half of them would join this project and have the same average power the project would end up having about 1000 Peta FLOPS or 1 Exa FLOPS in computational power. And I think this estimate is pretty low in regard to the actual numbers.
So well yeah, distributed computing is something we humans need to organize and use to its fullest potential, to our advantage. If you havn’t tried out folding at home yet, you should!

Okay so I’m just writing a short post to tell you that to my surprise I’ve got quite a lot (compared to the total) of visits from search engines lately. There is one term, beach girls, that has given me all of this traffic. Quite ironic really. There is one picture in this post that is related to the term, but the textual content is not. I don’t think I’ve mentioned the words beach and girl close to each other in any post, before this one, to be honest.
So this post about how the beach girls term got me all of this traffic will serve as a test to check if I will gain even more traffic on the term now after adding the words plus a nice picture. And no I havn’t been working anything with my projects lately. There is just so much in school and rl that I need to prioritize at the moment.
Well thats all for now. Take care and hope to see you around =)

Okay so today an even better idea hit me! This one is brilliant if I can say so myself. If I pull this one of in a good way I will become fucking rich, no kidding. This idea is also related to blogging and I won’t tell you much more than that.
This project also requires some coding skills and webdesigning skills, but what the heck. I feel this idea got the pontential to really succeed. I’m wondering why noone ever thought of this before, or if someone did but it wasn’t successful. Anyhow you should embrace all of the ideas you believe in and make the best of it. I would start working on this today, but I havn’t got the time really. But as always I can further develop this idea while doing other stuff, because the good ideas almost always come to me while I’m not at the computer.
Well I’m gonna start cleaning the house now because my mother is comming home after her 10 days vacation in China with my youngest brother and the house literally looks like crap. So take care and see you next time =)
