In the last days we always had good excuses, like: "Looking for the moon!", "Oh, ISS should be now right above us - let's go look!" (Thanks to XPlanet ;) ). Today we had nothing to do outside, it was very cloudy! Luckily a squirrel ran around all day. :)
And now, just some minutes ago - the moon was back! Ah, relief! ;)

If that wouldn't have happened, the bad, slighty pervert, feeling of all the time just watching the neighbours would have grown too big... ;)

Well, done is too strong a word - but at least I got one of the subjects read today. And it wasn't that hard actually.. but I can't learn any more in the way, that the university calls for.
At the moment, I can't really say, what will happen...
.. I had a similar situation before and ended up with an A+, but it can turn out to be the complete other way around. Let's see - two weeks to go. On 01.12. is the infamous test!

I started to use XPlanet as my desktop-background about a week ago to help out a friend setting it up. Today I played some more with it and I have to say, that it rocks big time. Apparantly it's a complete 3S (Solar System Simulation ;) ). This afternoon I added the ISS to my earth-view and this evening I found out, that one can render nearly any view of our planetary system. Earth/Night view is lame, current cloud-cover (hmm, 3C ;) ) is a little more fancy, seeing where the ISS is currently is nifty - but having a textured and bumb-mapped moon cruising around a bumb mapped earth, that shows with colors the average oil-usage and major cities; well, that's pretty fancy! ;)
