Almost in the other side..

Today I received my last grade for Economics Enginnering which I thought was going to be very very bad...., well, I guess I was wrong, I got a 4,6 which puts me somehow on the other side.
I feel much more relaxed now to face the final exams.....

On saturday went to a party near by Girardota in a farm.., the place was very cool, the funny thing is that 2 years ago I was spending a weekend in that farm with my parents ( we did rent it) and I said: It will be so cool to have a party here. The DJ was in the middle of the pool, the sound and lights were awesome, my friend Richie played there and was amazing..., the bad things were the Dj´s that followed him, because the music lost a lot of rythm and from my point of view did throw the party to the floor.. taking live again with another DJ at 5AM (I was sleeping in my car by that time) so overall I can say that the place was very cool but the party wasn´t.

Sitting on my desk..

Well, today I was supoused to upload Alcoa to the NYC servers by 5:00PM, the thing is that the international channel I guess was very crawded so the upload was taking years to get done..., and I had 5:00 PM class at the university (Metodos 2)..., so I decided to let my local server doing the job for me.., slow but doing it....., I went to class......

It´s now 10:00PM and I just checked the Alcoa server and only a part of it was there...., who knows what happened..., anyway it´s not the big deal.., it´s a 156MB file..., and using a T1 connection that´s not a problem.., so well, now I´m sitting on my desk at home doing the upload which is going quite fast.., then I need to uncompress the file and install it.., sounds easy, huh ?

Vpn´s are just and simple a great invention....., right now I can say that I have a hugeeeee bridge of lan´s connected between them while I work throughout VPN´s........., that´s amazing.., work locally from the distance.

Well, what else can I say...... Oh, now I remembered that I was going to post some NYC pictures.., so I´m just going to download them from my digi and post´em here.



This is a "casual" picture.., it´s just so funny. Esteban appears looking like in a casual picture, the thing is that is not casual at all, he´s simulating it to look like it is casual.., so funny.., with the liberty statue in the distance...., and holding a delicious capuchino.....

Groovy, now the file is up, so I better start deploying it !

After All....

Well, after a lot of hard work, long nights, some partying and some turism I came back from NYC to Colombia..... I´m just amazed of this city..., the world converges and diverges to and from there, that´s where the real business are, where stuff happens........, where decisions are made, where things definetively happens..

Working there was amazing, very intelligent and hard working people where each of them has it´s very own style, all of them were very friendly and helpfull, and the best things it that the work atmosphere was gorgeous, this because each part of the team had a lot of knowledge on the area where he or she was.
I won´t never forget this equation that I read on wired magazine:

Best Technology + Best Conditions + Best People = Best Results.


And that´s what I found there......., that´s why I want to be there, and I will be there.

It was just so cool to play some xbox if you just got tired of coding or something else, get relaxed and then start again.....

I want to put some pictures here, I didn´t take so much thuogh, sadly I haven´t downloaded them from my Digi, and the thing is that I always put here that I will post them later and I never do, will I do it this time ??? Wont I ??? Hell no !!! I have to !!!!

That was for work...
For party, went with Pica, Brendan and Andrea to Crobar, Ferry Corsten was there, and it was amazing...., one of the things that I always enjoy and try to do is when I go to another country do some partying in local disco´s, and NY was not the exception..... Stayed there until morning, so wasted next day but it was worth it..., people there was very friendly...., overall the partying experience was exceptional.

For Tourism,
Went to Ground Zero and I was so fucking impressed with that "HOLE", each time that I was seeing arround I couldn´t avoid to imagine what people could felt being there, how many people died there, how many people lost their loved ones...., It´s a huge hole in the middle of buildings..., I felt a freezing silence there.., it´s a scary view.

Well, that´s all for now..., have to get back to work and I hope to post pic´s this time...

Sitting in the airport..

Well, right now I´m just sitting here in the JoseMa Airport at Rionegro waiting to catch my flight to NYC at 6:00PM.
The hotel is already booked, it´ll be "Jazz on the Park", which is very close to central park. Llet´s see ow it looks like..
Estimated arrival time is 12:00AM. Lot´s of people here waiting in this room..., and while I see them I ask myself what´s the purpose of their travel, what are they going to do, who are they going to see, will they be happy to leave the country ? Will they be sad ? Will they be running away ? Are they going to see they beloved ones ? Business ??
The plane is being filled up with lot´s of baggage, it´s just so incredible that these machines can fly with all of this weight..., I think that this is one thing that always will be amazing me forever....
We just bought a present for the guy that we´re going to meet (Bruce), it´s not the big deal, but we bought him a nice mug plus some "Chocolatinas JET".

That´s all for now...., anyway I´ll be posting later..
