Hey Guys, I'm finished with my first badge of exams So while the days get longer again and the snow starts melting, I want to share some of my personal geek collection with you ^-^ Big siblings make your life hell but also leave their imprints of music, games and hobbies on us - for me the most fun were probably the games she showed me :) Tomb Raider was cool, tough, and still somewhat girly with a lot of sexappeal and two big guns. Oh btw this is not supposed to be one of these 'my favorite character can kick your character in the balls', just sharing .-. I played the early TR with my sister and the neighbours kids, we would sit together for hours in front of my parents Windows computer and go through the game guide, while my sister (as the oldest of us) would slay the pixelated scary monsters. It wasn't until 2002-4 when I started playing them myself, the monsters were simply too scary - they were too pixly to recognize what the hell was actually attacking y...

Well shit, this is embarassing. I figured last night, why is it That my awesome blog with an awesome name has no awesome followers who swear as much as me? Turns out, as a blogging newbie I didn't know how to enable my blog to be followed. It's live now, so if you don't want to miss out on awesome tutorials which otherwise you have to work your ass off - hit the follower button to the right (everytime you view my blog but don't follow, somebody drops a deuce into your yard) ._. 

We have reached the part about my studies which I don't enjoy so much. Math.  There is of course lots more to it than the few tutorials I can upload - especially since right now I am really busy studying for the exams to come, but here you go! A How-To about calculating with Complex Numbers (takes up to 10min to understand) The first part here focuses on complex numbers in their algebraic form, I will edit this tutorial however, to show you the polar-coordinate form, as soon as I have time :p When starting out with this topic, you will soon encounter the variable i . Because  i  is defined as  i^2 = -1  we can extend our Real Numbers so that the formula  becomes solvable:  x^2 +1 = 0 In the algebraic form complex numbers are written as z = x + iy If you want to work with complex numbers, these 4 rules will help you solve the test question at the end :) 1. Addition 2. Subtraction 3. Multiplication 4. Division ...

Hey guys, new year, new motivation, new yay. This is the start of my How To Java - so let's go :D When you start with any programming language and the additional self-t(orturing)eaching lecture, they will introduce you with this exercise public class HelloWorld{      public static void main(String[ ] args){           System.out.println("Hello World");      } } This non-humanity-threatening message is all cute 'n' shit but what exactly does it mean? This is already a fully functional program, so you deserve to be proud of yourself, but let's break this down: The first line in your code is usually gonna be your class name. Names are important, it is how you will later on find your program (or class) after you stored it away in your workspace somewhere, to incorporate it into a more complex program.  So class name here is HelloWorld . The curly bracket after your class name opens up to the body of your program -...

Happy Birthday to my home country. I love the food, the warm weather - even the occasionally strong storm, it can be very refreshing. But there is something that even a storm could not yet unearth or wash away from thoughts, something that bothers me about my birth town. We have grown, into a multinational country. Welcoming people and investors from all over the world (I am sure you know that the government implemented many benefits for investors) and yet, some of us are denied basic democratic rights. I don't see why. It were all the citizens of our nation that aspired to change the face of a small country, everybody; not only muslims, christians, vegetarians and SG Lion Club fans. In this 50th year of our home country. We still discriminate people who are in love, for the only reason that we don't agree with the gender of one of them. What makes me sad is, this illogical path we keep following, could easily right so many wrong doings that have happened in the pa...

I figure that my post titles are sometimes a real bummer, but honestly I don't know most of the time what else to name them ._. I am still writing for myself, I guess - I get frequent hits, quite steady in fact^^ Right now I am back to working my way through my Java handbook, so in the New Year there will be a tutorial for Java coming up, as well as a How To on Gibbs Free Energy for Biochemistry. What are your plans for 2015? The term 'resolutions' annoys me a bit. As if grand character changes are gonna pop up and resolve our lifelong struggles when the clock strikes midnight ._. We all need motivation, and it's easy if you can kick your own butt to actually do something.  Last year I wanted to do more sports, read more, get a job and travel. I have actually achieved all of these goals - to suffice. That being said, of course you can trick yourself, lie to you. But I don't see any value in that. I get restless, so I ended up jogging, swimming, taking my...

I always had major problems when it came down to calculating the components for solutions and buffers. I don't know why, it should be as easy as A B C but I just couldn't do it. Now I have found the solution, a formula Or rather two :) I hope this can help you out - this should take about 5min to read and understand! 1. Method You need:  Startconc . (initial concentration),  Targetconc . (concentration of your target solution),  Targetvol . (volume of target solution) X here is the amount of the stock solution which we need, in millilitres. Of course you can reconstruct the formula to suit your needs, in the case that you are looking for another attribute than X 2. Method You need:  Startconc .,  Startvol . (volume in which the concentration of the stock solution is kept),  Targetconc .,  Targetvol . X is again, the amount which you need, in milllilitres, while A and B are just variables :)
