Just writing to mention that I don’t have a laptop right now, because I sent it in for repairs. The fan isn’t working well, so the computer gets very hot when doing heavy processing. I wanted to have it fixed before the warranty runs out in February… Anyway, this means I won’t be online much for the time being, except in daytime when (if) I’m at school.

My second design with my magnetic sticks.
I bought a cheap no brand magnet sticks building set in Glasgow, and although I think the magnets may be a bit weaker than those from well-known brands (GeoMag, Magnetix), it’s still interesting to try different ways to build a stable tower with it. For your information, the set I bought costed almost just 1/10 of the price of a set with the same amount of pieces from GeoMag!
As mentioned in the intro, this is the second tower I made with the set. The first design, which I didn’t take a picture of, was an somewhat “Eiffel-tower“-style of tower, where the base is largest, and it shrinks towards the top. This one is a bit more original, although I guess it doesn’t really look all that nice on the picture… But it’s quite stable, at least!
I kind of wish I’d bought more sets, building the tower on the picture already used up all the sticks in the set I bought! There’s still a lot of metallic marbles and plates left though, maybe I can use those for other stuff.
I’ve finally taken myself time to totally redesign my website. Not sure if it looks too funky, but I do think it looks a bit better than before.
And I was originally just going to change the links page! Oh well… I guess I’ll do exercise tomorrow instead then.
(Edited Jan 16th) I changed the website to show what time I actually post updates… Older posts won’t have correct time, so they’ll just show 0:00. Just thought I’d post this so you don’t think something’s wrong with the website.
