When i was causally browsing the net i found a firefox download counter and realised it stands at 199 million something with about 2.7 downloads / second.
If this trend continues firefox will surpass 200 million downloads this tuesday.
Congrats to the firefox development team and spreadfirefox community, which has much to do for firefox's constantly increasing market share.
For those who don't know what firefox is : it's a free open source browser, about 5 mb download, available for windows, linux and mac. It's main power are hundreds of extensions, which can make your "browser experience" so awesomely cool.If you haven't tried it already, do it now.
p.s. If you don't like firefox, opera is kind of cool too.

Holidays, here I come !
Freedom has arrived as i am finally done with all of my exams since last friday.
It's not like i spent all my time studying and stressing about the exams, on the contrary i felt dissatisfied with myself, since i wasn't able to motivate myself according to my previous plans ( well i did actually manage to do it - 1 day out of 23 - still some is better than nothing - now i can have high hopes for the next year :).
I do have an excuse though. I studied seriously for the first exam. I got an excellent mark. I semi studied for the next one. I got an excellent mark again. I hardly studied for the following exam, yet i got a perfect score ( 100 % ), which noone from the more studious group of people got. How can i be motivated to study ? I can't honestly.
Now it's all over i don't need to have this feeling : "shit i have an exam tommorow, i have only gone through 60 % of all the stuff by now (12pm)". That's cool. Also, i managed to achieve and exceed the goals i have set for myself by a healthy margain, which makes me feel like i am intellegent or something.
Currently working on my research. After two months of standing still, i have finally made some progress during this week, which is encouraging.
Yesterday i managed to get 2 512 MB SD cards for my digital camera. The previous one stoped functioning for an unknown reason when it was most needed. So now i bought two of them, just it case this thing happens as unexpectedly as it has this time.
Also i am buying a new CD-player with mp3 support. By some strange coincidence ym sister has managed to finish off the previous one. It was 5 years old, which i think it's a long time for a CD player, especially if i am it's owner.
I was cosidering buying one of the real mp3 players with flash memory, but then i realised that they still don't have enough storage space for a reasonable price. 512 MB in an mp3 player is just not enough for me. I would like to have at least 2 GB of storage, which coast about 125 € ( the cheapest model, which probably sucks, something actually useful is about 150 € and beyond). Maybe i will buy one when the capacities will be at about 10 GB, which should happen by the end of this year ( in the US that is ).
So now i got a CD player for 25 €, and i can listen it at home with an adapter so i don't have to bother about the batteries, which would be one of the greatest annoyances with an mp3 player.
Anyways, time to go back to work..
p.s. Does this STUPID winoze machine have to constantly remind me it wants to restart itself. How come this shit cannot be turned off ? Now that's what i call annoying.
