I'm doing 23 things
37 done. http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&id=26 took me a long time as I was foolish enough to think I could solve it by dividing common data types in C#/.NET (that is, decimal or double). After searching around for BigDecimal class, I facepalmed and remembered something that was taught me in school 15 years ago. Long division! What a beautiful way to divide with infinite precision :D

How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: I'm the type of person who gets really addicted in these types of games. I played for 2 weeks in beta, was really addicted and pre-ordered the game but cancelled it. I didn't want to waste my life playing it, and I knew I would if I had the chance. I've been previously addicted to Ultima Online, skipping school for full weeks because of it. I knew if I bought WoW I'd play it my entire wake hours, just like I had played UO and RO … Read how I did it…

I’m currently practising using a program that generates random notes that I need to play.. it’s only for learning the basics, of course.
As I live in Finland, learning swedish is compulsory in our educational system. I used to have a serious attitude problem towards learning it. In three years I hardly learned to introduce myself, as I was always skipping classes or simply not paying any attention in them.
Seven years have passed since and I’ve started studying again, and I have a few compulsory swedish courses I need to pass. Luckily these days I’m easily motivated by the simple aspect of learning something. I’m not planning to just pass the courses, I intend to get good grades from them and learn the language.
My first course has just started, and I find myself actually understanding what the textbook (and the teacher) says. It’s hard, as I’m expected to know about what I was taught during those 3 years, but I’ve already self-learned most of it during the past year. A few days ago I corrected my friend when he said ”..gillar om..”, and he couldn’t believe the day had come when I, of all people, would correct his swedish.
