Enlight me!

Hey, i passed Biochem !
Who is bloody cool now ?
Considering the fact i am done with that, i lost all my motivation to study. To give you an example i have another exam tommorow,. Do i care ? I think not :)

Although i found a site with 20 productive ways to use your free time, i can do lots of unproductive stuff all by myself ;)
I am messing with my PC instead.
I installed this dekstop environment called enlightment. It's really cool. It's got lots of eye candy ( i really like the rain effect and the dock, and the ability to see all active windows just by cliking middle mouse button. I adore all the transitions, the theming and the animated icons.. I just love it ) and it's pretty fast compared to gnome or KDE.
It's also in the middle a heavy development stage and hence bound to be unstable from time to time. In 2 days of heavy experimenting i had only something like 5 crashes. (almost feels like XP ;) )- a crash means you press F1, wait for 2 seconds and continue as if nothing has happened. The thing is the desktop environment crashes, not the programs, so you never lose any information.
I remember IE used to crash at least 1 to 2 times a day when using it back at XP.
Also i have tried installing the newest and greatest directly from CVS and compiling & hence get all the best and the least stable.
It's all good, i am loving it and it's very pretty.,

One thing i noticed is that Bittorent refuses to accept incoming connections although i have forwarded the IP on the router.Evil. Luckily i don't do much downloading these days ( or weeks or months ). It's sad but that's the way it is.
I know these guys who constantly download and burn movies on DVDs and now they have sth. like 400 DVDs give or take some.. They haven't seen even 10 percent of that mass.
What's the point of that ?

P.s. listening to lots of 30 seconds to Mars and Hinder these days.
P.p.s I realised i posted something in less than a week's time. This proves i have too much time ;)
