It’s so nice to wake up in the morning and have your world view reinforced by a superb animation of a RSA lecture on the dynamics of personal motivation and performance.

I have recently handed in a report as a part of my masters/candidate in Computer Science at University of Copenhagen – “Visualizing blobs and computation in a biomolecular computation model“. It sounds very fancy and I would like to introduce the subject and my report here in hopefully a less dry way than in the report it self. (This post will be in a “anecdotal” style and will not contain citations for all the facts.

Some torrent files contain a humongous amount of files. Thousands. This is one of the problems you have to cope with as a client-writer and I plan to take care of both etorrent and combinatorrent.
