The Runar

- Rich members used dragon meds and chains - West Varrock bank being always full of people especially on W1 (I still remember what items were traded in each area :) ) - Making money from cooking, smithing, fletching etc. - Rune essence being 25-30 each, sold in east Varrock bank - The release of hunter, Feldip Hills was full of people and it was almost impossible to tell one's own trap from the rest - Dragon axe being just a fancier rune axe

>>> 16183404 / (44*24+22) 15012.43413729128 The lowest one so far :D

Bought an eyepatch from the shop in south-west Varrock. Then I walked through Taverly gate.

Mediacoder is a great Windows program for converting files, and it's completely free.

I had only 2.5 hours school today. Quite nice. And it's my birthday. Turned 16 :)

1600 total - and still no 80+ skills. (actually 1604 now, trained summoning to 61) Maybe I'll try to get to 1700 or so :)

I'm trying this, I'm not sure if I can write 50,000 words or not but the current lenght (~6,000 words) is already much longer than anything I've written before :)

I can speak English quite well, but when I'm nervous, I speak English it a generic Finnish accent (the stress always on the first syllable, th -> t, etc. and sounds much "rougher"). I could record it some day.

I joined the NaNoWriMo 2010 contest. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in November. There are no rewards except the satisfaction. Wish me luck, I will need it. :)

Well, torrents are there and someone will eventually make another similar thing... this won't really change anything.

Firefox hasn't crashed for me at all in the last six months :unsure: It used to crash quite often before plugins were put in a separate process though. As far as I know the really light browsers (such as surf) are only available for Linux; if you want something light on Windows, then I guess Chrome is your best choice.

I have the skill of doing everything extremely fast if I'm in a hurry, so I can do pretty much every single project in under an hour and still get good scores :) And I've actually managed to not do some projects at all without anybody noticing :unsure: Anyway, right now I'm enjoying a week of vacation. :shades:

I just got addicted to this game... again. :rolleyes: I somehow got 24 migrants at once. I don't even have enough jobs for all of them :wall:

I did the quest alone back when it was still possible (you could just buy the certificate from a general store or another player and give it to the king without even starting the quest) :D But yeah, I agree that it's really annoying. <_<

Realistic item prices, nowadays materials cost more than the processed items (though it's been this way since GE was released if I remember right). Before GE basically every single skill was profitable (except firemaking).

Done. [hide=Spoilers] [/hide]

We got a faster internet connection today. :) Upgraded from 2 Mbit/s to 8 Mbit/s, which is the highest speed available here.

I've had problems getting to sleep for years. I'm almost never tired, unless I stay awake for over 30 hours. Recently I've found a good way to get to sleep: I grab my iPod and just listen to music eyes closed laying on the bed until I get tired. Usually it doesn't take very long, I know that I'm tired when I forget that I'm listening to music (once happened three times during one song) :D Once I even fell asleep while still listening :lol: I also make sure that the last few songs are something I call inspiring (usually some light power metal songs about dragons and stuff like that - I ♥ fantasy very much). I have much better dreams if I do that. :)

:thumbup: This is the way I usually learn new things - I only study what I absolutely have to and then learn the rest by improvising on that. For example this was in a math exam: 15% of the cost of product x is 24, calculate the whole price of the product. Shorter way: 24 / 0.15 = 160 My way: 24 / 15 = 1.60 (1% of price), 1.60 * 100 = 160. My way doesn't require remembering any formulas, as long as you remember that the whole is 100% you're fine. (I actually did this in the exam because I didn't remember the other way :rolleyes: ) This is just a basic example, more complex stuff just benefits even more. Quite funny though that I've always been the best one of my class in math (even better than the teachers), but I remember barely anything. I just don't have to. :) Most of my English skills are from first learning some basic grammar and vocabulary in school and then actually putting those to use. Games, forums, movies and books mostly for me. Not only is it much more interesting but it also teaches you a lot of stuff they never teach in school. Of course this works with other languages too. The most important thing isn't that you learn how to do something, more important is that you know why it's done that way. ;)

Three.

Just ordered Civ5 :)

I'm running Chrome 5 beta, maybe I should update? :lol: I didn't even think of that before :P

My computer is fast enough that there's no visible difference between different browsers. Tests say (tested myself) that Chrome is much faster than Firefox, but I see no difference, because they're both so fast. I'm almost 100% sure that IE9 wouldn't have any visible difference either, though because I usually use Linux, it doesn't really even matter. And I prefer having javascript disabled anyway, because that actually increases the speed. It's probably because you haven't tried a really intensive JavaScript rendering test. Try loading this site in chrome, ff, and IE9: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/AsteroidBelt/Default.html Wow, this certainly changed everything. Chrome runs it at 1 FPS and Firefox at full 60 FPS. (wtf? :blink: ) I should try it with IE9, but I'm too lazy to boot into Windows :razz: Really? When I did it I got 20ish with chrome and 5 with FF. I just remembered that Arch Linux has a customized version of FF, so maybe this one has GPU rendering enabled? I'm not sure about that though :| I wonder if there is an easy way to check that?
