Extremely happy, because we received our new computer (specs in profile) today! Suddenly 80fps isn't magic any more :D
All kind of exciting new possibilities in FlightGear, now I can fly over Paris, KSFO at rushhour etc.!

Though I was feeling sick today I managed to get a major update of the Ec130 B4 ready.
And the best: Merge requests are working now! :D

I´m very happy, because in the high school, have given us two exams. In maths I get 8.3 points, and in chemist, 10 points. (The maximum score in Spain is 10) :D
I Don´t know where we will take all of this, but I assure you it will be fun. (Orville Wright, 1903).

I`m happy because of two things.
First, I managed to win a tarmac rally in expert level in Colin McRae 2. I know that it`s a very old game(about 10 years), but it`s still one of my favorites. I suck at tarmac rallies, I always crash into a mountain or a tree.
And second, there`s only two and a half weeks left before the holidays. Sadly, I`m not going anywhere, but it means that I can for instance do some liveries.

I finally got Atlas to work properly :D

I'm also happy because I get a pretty good framerate of 47fps with Atlas and the Map server running on my screen at the same time as FlightGear 8)

Well, after much (5 minutes) of deliberation, I've decided to go ahead and get GIT - so far, I've found that it was worth the wait! :)

Forgot to mention here at the forum: I will undergo my very first reallife glider flight on April 10! I won this flight by filling a questionary on my future university's open day.
Let's hope we have nice gliding weather by then. You can expect a flight report anyhow ;)
