I was hungry...

After working a couple of hours I realized that I was hungry, so I went to "Taco Loco" in the Lleras park and ate a yummy "Burrito al pastor con vegetales" it was really good.
Also relized the full moon that was above my head which I enjoyed so much. Below it's a similar picture....



Now I'm back to work, who knows until what time in the night..., or should I say "Morning"??

C++, once more I HATE YOU !!

#include
int FileSize(const char* sFileName)
{
std::ifstream f;
f.open(sFileName, std::ios_base::binary | std::ios_base::in);
if (!f.good() || f.eof() || !f.is_open()) { return 0; }
f.seekg(0, std::ios_base::beg);
std::ifstream::pos_type begin_pos = f.tellg();
f.seekg(0, std::ios_base::end);
return static_cast(f.tellg() - begin_pos);
}

Back again to study...

I was having a good time in my farm, but today we decided that we will continue coding our operative systems project, so here I'm, back in Medellin, in velez house getting prepared to start coding.
Julian, the 3rd team member has been away for the hole week while we were working on it, he was supoused to be here on wednesday, but he just arrove today.., and is very tired of the trip from the coast, so I guess that we wont work with him until the next week.
I'll post any advance that we may have..., BTW the objective for today is to be able to make the function that reads that COMPLEX file and put all the content of it on the structure that we have already.

Hasta la vista Baby.

Confussion...., common denominator some times.

I feel that there's a huge empty space right now into my soul......, I think that I know what it is, the point is that is something that I can't have or I should not have, or if I do the pain would be much bigger than the satisfaction or the temporary happiness..., so here is where I ask to my inner soul..., what's better.., a few moments even days of happiness and then weeks of sadness and pain?? Or if it's better some weeks or even months of tranquility paying the price of being away from that thing???

In the other hand I'm here in my farm right now.., it's very cold and there's "cucarrones" everywhere.., to be more precise "cucarrones marceños", they're a kind of flying animals that appear in huge amounts only in this month of the year.., that's why their name.

Maybe a couple of friends will come by later to have some drinks and the usual stuff.

I was trying to play neverwinter nights a few minutes ago, but definetively that game is too complicated right now for me....., I prefer world of warcraft.., lot's of RPG but not too much reading inside it opposite to Neverwinter.....

Sistemas operativos project is on hold for these days.., getting some rest is a good idea.., but I have to start coding another project that I'm developing for myself...., not to emotive today.

Backup ! Backup ! Backup !!

I told you several times "Please make a backup of the data", "Please make a backup of the data", but you didnt listen to me, so now we just loose the last 3 hours or maybe 5 hours of work because of that.., which means a delay in the project. It's 12:05 in the night and I'm getting a little bit tired after working all the day long on this thing.
I'll be posting later on.

Conclusion !!

After working with C++ I conclude that I HATE IT !!!!!! And I've to work with it for the rest of this semester.
The advance today is not very huge, but it's relevant..., I would say we're at a 8.5% right now.
Stay tuned to get more info about the development of this project.

Another day of work...

Ok, we were suppoused to end Development Phase 2 yesterday, but it didn't happen, we were quite tired..., instead we played Icy Tower (I highly recomend this game..., its adictive !!!). We did some modeling of the structure and did a great advance, but it's not enough.., we have a month already.., and only the 6% done......., but I'm pretty sure that today we'll increase that percentage to at least 15% or 20%.... you can bet on that. I'll post during the afternoon in case of any relevant evolution.
BTW, I heard this song in Dawson's creek being performed by Joey, and I liked it a lot...

Cheap Trick - Didn't I See You Crying ( I Want You To Want Me) Lyrics
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I see you crying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I see you crying
Feeling all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I see you crying

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I see you crying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I see you crying
Feeling all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I see you crying

Feeling all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I see you crying

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me

Operative Systems Project !

I'm working on this with Velez, and Julian which is in the Coast right now.

We were suppoused to start yesterday (Velez and I) the development of this project for the asignature "Operative Systems", the thing is that we didn't work much.
Today we started at 2:00 PM and did a significant advance, well, if we take a deep look its not the big deal., I would say is the 6% of the hole development............... Anyway our goal for today is to develop the function that reads the configuration files for both OS's (Linux and Windows). I'll post any advance that we may get in the middle of the night.

Vandit Night

The holly week is just starting this weekend, I'm going to my farm in the mountains.., cold weather!! I'm also planning to work hard on one of the main ideas that I'm developing right now..., cuz I want to have a big part of it finished by the end of the holy week.

Right now watching a DVD from PVD (Paul Van Dyk) one of my favorites Dj's on he's tour called "GLOBAL".

I wanted to post this pic from a cool party that we had at my farm a few weeks ago.., featuring DJ RICHY...jejejejeje, you're pinching the LPD's pretty awesome, we should do it again soon !

Building the empire...

I just want to remember this day March 17 of 2005, the day when I did realize how I have achieved all of the goals that I've set in my hole life and realize that I'm starting to build my own and huge empire, something that I saw very far away from my life a few months ago... I'm fully packed of ideas, most of them are starting to work, I'll better say that I'm aligning them..., and that process is something that takes a huge amount of time and energy, and the best thing is that it's fullfilling my life right now. I would like to write a book about it..., should I start now ? I dont know.., maybe I'll create a blog for it.., that would be cool.., and an interesting way of describe things.., it would be a kind of modern diary..
Today I also can say that the hundreds of variables that my life used to have before I left are starting to make a little bit of sense again.., each day I manage to put one in its correct place again, with a little bit of deviation in some cases, and the meaning of that is the experience.., cuz if it was the same, would it make any sense ???? .., this gives me as a result a better understanding of everything (thanks for that time!!, TIME, I've to say that you're my allied this days....).

Zap me back to reality..

I enjoy pretty much talking again to my old friends, because they make me realize who I'm from a different set of perspectives which I didnt take in mind or forgot to take a look from in several times.. I also realized today how clear my ideas are about all the projects that I'm developing right now.., also got some insight for them, and much much more energy to put on them. It's hard however, but the point is that if they were easy, we could find plenty of them developed today.., which is not the case of course. I'm going to succed in a way that I cant even imagine right now...., I'm completely sure of that.

My Life? My plant ? What does they have in common?

I remember that in the end of srping of the last year I bought in Palma a small water plant. When I got back to Basel it took to the plant at least 2 months to start growing the leafs. In jan of 2005 when I was going to get back to Medellin it did cut the leafs, cuz I wanted to keept it with me. Today, after almost 2 months of being here the new leafs are starting to appear, and the scars of the ones that I did cut are already there. This makes me think that whenever you hurt somebody or get hurted deeply you can forgive, but the scars will remain there for a long period of time.
