European Film College
by Marcus on June 19, 2007
I'm very happy to say that I've been accepted into the eight-month foundation course at the European Film College in Ebeltoft, starting September this year. "Learn about all aspects of the film world" pretty much sums up what the course is about, it costs approx. 70,000 DKK, but the money is well spend, just take a look at what you'll get out of it:
The school has access to 300 m2 film and television studio equipped for building sets and shooting fiction.
The picture editing facilities rival the editing facilities of many professional post-production houses and TV stations.
The EFC has two cinemas. The main one, Store Bjørn ("Big Bear", named after Nordisk Film's logo) is recognized as one of the finest cinemas in Denmark.
The college has an extensive collection of DVDs, videos, and books as well as an archive of short and documentary films on 16mm.
Weekly lectures are held by prominent industry people like Alan Parker (director of Evita, Mississippi Burning, The Life of David Gale, etc.) and Rick Senat, former Vice President of Warner Brothers studios.
EFC plans an annual trip to a Film festival.
The school prides itself on excellent food, made by professional chefs and experts in nutrition. Everything is made from fresh ingredients and they bake all their own bread. Students will be served three meals a day plus healthy snacks in the afternoon.
I'm so happy! ;D
Testing blogging with Word 2007
by Marcus on June 18, 2007
If this works like it’s supposed to, I’ll probably start blogging with Word 2007, instead of the standard WYSIWYG Editor in WordPress, because the interface is sweet! It’s especially got one cool feature; if you press the Windows button and “S” you can take a clipping of whatever is on the screen and paste it directly into the entry. It even uploads the picture to my homepage automatically.
Ring of Death – Day 28

I called customer support today, and guess what, my console is still at the repair center in Germany. The swedish supporter couldn't tell me when I can expect to receive it, she did promise me compensation for the bad service though. I'm supposed to call them again when I receive it, and the size of the compensation will depend on how long I've been waiting. One free year of Xbox Live Gold? Well, thank you very much Microsoft, looks like you don't suck so much after all.
Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? (and more…)

The internet is filled with stupid tests, but I finally found a website with some proper ones, and I though I'd give you an opportunity to try them out, as well as get to know me a little better. ;)
I would kinda suck if I ran into a ravaging horde of zombies:
My corpse is worth 4,425$… Yay?
I'm a bit of a geek.
Approx. 60 to go…
Almost didn't pass. :(
Ring of Death – Day 25

I still haven't received my repaired Xbox 360 (missed the Halo 3 beta), and I should have it no later than tomorrow. Looks like I need to call customer support and whine. Crap.
