Rapportive

Just handed in my last personal QMII assignment, it had some pretty confusing parts but think I got a decent answer in the end. The topic was eigenfunctions of hydrogen isotopes and then it was a lot about Bessel functions.

Tonight I have my first proper Wushu training session in almost two weeks since I was a bit under the weather last week, still have a mild cough but I don't think it will be a problem. The training sessions are usually not that intensive physically but they can be mentally with a lot of information and new things to learn.

Found a cool plug-in for Gmail today: Rapportive, or rather for the programs you use to open Gmail. It uses your different social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+) to look up information on the persons (and companies by retrieving information from their webpage) in the mail your currently have open and displays it on the right where there usually are ads instead. So if you're comfortable with everything connecting and like this kind of information streams then you should definitely check it out.

Yesterday I visited the Centris to discuss and plan the trip to India me, Hallvard and Per are planning to take in the beginning of December. We name-dropped some places of interest like New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Goa and Agra (the city where Taj Mahal is located), checked some travel advise and tried to find cheap flights. The cheap flights part is probably the most boring of them all, it would be so easy if you could just pick your flight from the one that seems best and most convenient without having to care about the price but hey, life would be pretty boring if everything was easy and you we're economically independent!

Anyway! When I got there Lina had just started baking cinnamon buns so when we started to feel ready (or rather, when the buns started to get ready) we put away the planning and sat down and ate some buns instead! Hallvard also made some Swedish coffee that he had brought with him from his trip home a few weeks ago. So coffee and cinnamon buns, can it get more Swedish? Well, it probably can in a ton of weird embarrassing dressed-up singing-children-songs kind of ways. But the buns were really good so thank you so much Lina!

The semester is starting to wrap up now, this week we have something called "e-learning" where all lectures are supposed to be done online and so on, it doesn't really seem to be the best concept but anyway you get calmer period before the start of the exam period in two weeks. Also, most lecturers usually put the less important topics now, the ones that might be interesting but aren't that important for the rest of the course.

Live long and prosper!
