If you've stumbled upon this entry without following a link, it probably doesn't concern you, and downloading the files will merely lead to further bewilderment. Basically, this is a helpful service for certain students in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem - recordings of lectures for people who couldn't be in class / follow it. Most of the recordings are in Hebrew, except for the American literature ones.

| Random Observations. |
[Nov. 19th, 2007|12:03 am] |
Discovered a way to get on-line in class (at least in certain classes) Checking the lecture material on Wikipedia in the middle of the lecture is educational and amusing. You can give the appearances of having read ahead in the course books and/or uncover certain inconsistensies between what Wiki claims and what the Prof does. Who to believe is not really a dilemma here.
On the way home, I saw a big, garishly yellow, truck decorated with flames and "Danger, Explosives" signs waiting for an action movie / video game character to unwrap it into an impressive explosion. Though if you did stick a truck like that into a video game, people would claim it's unrealistic. Currently my free time is being torn between the Orange Box (loved Portal for the same reasons as everyone else – mechanics, storyline, humour, planning to get addicted to TF 2) and Rome: Total War, which has a great setting, a lot of intricate stuff, and lets me fancy myself a gifted commander when I outwit the (occasionally ludicrously poor) AI with numerically inferior forces. The ability to pause the game at any point is a boon to the point-and-click frenzy reflexes deprived. Granted, a real expert (such as the guys on youtube who manage entire mass battles without pausing the game once/moving the camera away from the general) would tear me a new one in 2.34 minutes, but I have my delusions.
PS – Just noticed that my free time is in no way occupied by: girls, drinking, dancing, hanging out with friends, socializing. That's kinda sad. |
