<ul>
<li>People writing “Følger” or “Following..” on facebook instead of clicking the fucking button saying “Get notifications for this post.</li>
<li>People writing "Thanks for the add” in facebook groups. Unless it’s a secret group or you get a blowjob for even fucking signing up; SHUT THE FUCK UP unless you have something of value to add.</li>
<li>People walking slow</li>
<li>Lists with only 4 points.</li>
</ul>

It taught me concepts, but not how to apply them, it taught me algorithms, but not why they were important in a specific case, it taught me to break down problems, but not solve them and follow the solution out the door.</p>
<p>What I’m trying to say is, they didn’t teach us to apply ourselves to a workforce, but rather an academic one.</p>
<p>And that’s just not the way I am wired.</p>
<p>So, as response to that, I have taken a years “leave of absence”, where I’ll work at an awesome startup called Apacta.<br>
I will be solving actual problems and shipping actual solutions</p>
<p>Will I return to University?</p>
<p>Some people say yes, others say no.</p>
<p>Me? I have no idea.</p>

<p>I hate it here: Bikes in Aalborg<br>
What. The. Fuck.<br>
Take a bike-ride down to the center of Aalborg and let the incompetence of your fellow bikers seep into you.<br>
I have the “pleasure” of biking to class every day, and the amount of people not knowing how to operate a simply concept such as a “gear”.</p>
<p>And beyond that, most people do not know how to actually adjust their saddle to it’s proper position.</p>
<p>Fuck.</p>

<p>I’m not following the lectures, I’m not really passionate about the project I am working on for “school”. I would much stay home, and work.</p>
<p>But society demands that I get an education, (or rather the 40k DKK a month average start salary does) and so I find myself struggling with how to complete this shit.</p>
<p>During a conversation about this, my father asked me: “Well, how’d you learn PHP” and the answer is: I taught myself. Off of the internet.</p>
<p>So who the fuck is to say I can’t do the same thing with University, at least for this semester?</p>
<p>Here goes everything!</p>

So that sucks.</p>
<p>Let’s see if I can’t do anything about that, probably not.</p>
<p>As for exercise, I had a break over the holidays which I really regret, as starting again sucks balls. Keeping it going was easier.</p>
<p>In other news I have decided to try and join the Danish National Guard. So we’ll see how that goes!</p>

And I find my self contemplating, why haven’t I done this before? </p>
<p>I make my money using my brain. <br>
My brain depends on my body to work properly. </p>
<p>I should have been here for the first time years ago. </p>
<p>We, as a species, needs to make exercise more readily available. <br>
We, as geeks, need to make exercise cool in our own circles. </p>
<p>Here we go. <br>
See you on the other side! </p>

<p>I started by looking at the HTML “make-up” of 4chan’s /b/ board, I noticed that each thread on the frontpage, each thread had a CSS class called “thread”. So I looped over those with BeautifulSoups .find_all() function.</p>
<p>That found each of the threads.</p>
<p>After that, I extracted the ID From the thread and a link to the thread.<br>
Then I opened that using urlopen().<br>
I iterated over all divs with the class postContainer.<br>
Inside of those, I found all anchors that had fileThumb as class and got the “href” from those links, downloaded those and bam. Done! </p>
<p>Shitty technical writings aren’t my thing apparently</p>

It will document my progress on this page.</p>
<p>I have decided to use Python, as I would like to expand my knowledge of different programming languages.</p>
<p>As HTML parser I have chosen to use <a href="http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/">Beautiful Soup</a></p>
<p>So far, I have gotten capturing the HTML down and parsing the “top” of each post. Onwards!</p>
tag:blog.eax.dk,2014:Post/the-universe-the-world-and-us2013-09-23T08:10:59-07:002013-09-23T08:10:59-07:00Brains & heart<p>About 2 years ago, I had a discussion with a priest, who told me that the human brain could not survive without the human heart.</p>
<p>And I’ve been thinking a lot about that, because I don’t think it makes sense.<br>
She attributed it to the spirit residing in the heart, or something along those lines.<br>
While I think it’s an interesting thought, there’s absolutely nothing to base it on. At least not to my knowledge.<br>
Also because most other religions attribute the soul to living in the brain, as your “third eye” or something like that.</p>
<p>But I digress.<br>
My understanding of biology is that the entire body, the sensations we experience, and the readings you get from your skin is transferred to your brain as electric impulses.<br>
And if there’s something we know a <em>BIT</em> about, it’s electric impulses.<br>
So why shouldn’t we be able to emulate all of these electrical impulses?<br>
What stops us from, at some point when we know enough about these impulses, pulling the spine and brain out of a body and emulating everything else?<br>
As far as I know, nothing.</p>
<p>It’s an exciting future ahead.</p>
