I've today been continuing with writing my program Space Invaders, unfortunately due to windows update decided to restart my computer, and all my work was lost, I had to rewrite it, but as a wise man once told me, it's always better the second time, now I rewrote it, and now the movement is more fluid, and everything seems to work as it's supposed to, a minor setback, and I must admit, I was a bit angry once I was finished, and I then decided to go read "A short history of nearly everything" by Bill Bryson.
An excellent book, that I think everybody should read, it tells you a lot about the universe we live in, and the writer has done a phenomenal job in writing this book, so that it all feels like one long story, that contains scientific information that everybody should know about, example did you know that the inner core of the earth actually is solid? And not liquid as you might have thought, only the so called "Outer Core" is liquid, and that Yellowstone National park is the world's largest active super volcano, and that it in average erupts every 600000 years, and that it's been 750000 years since it last erupted? So it could erupt any moment, and potentially cause a complete genocide of the entire human race, and other animals.
This book doesn't only contain information about geography, but also contains the stories of Albert Einstein, Edward Halley and others.
I really recommend reading this book, personally I'm only 40% into the book, and I've learned a whole lot.
