This is completely off-topic, but I would like to share my joy with the rest of the world that I have finally completed the first raytracer program of my life. I have spent 5 days non-stop, with only 2 hours sleep everyday to pull this off. Although it is only a school project, I still feel honored that I can get my hands on such a cool thing once in my life. (Since I don't think I will again anymore.)
The following is the resulting image of my raytracer in high resolution, 1024 x 768. Well, it takes quite a while to render a picture like this (approximately an hour for 2 pictures in this size).

Pretty cool eh? Please say yes :-)
