Finally I've gmail again..

Am I gmail addict ??? Or do I need it so much ??? No answers...., the conclusion anyway is that I've gmail again since a couple of hours....., and that makes me usefull on the net again.

I dont know if it was a Human or a Bot..

Scary question, isn't it ?? Well, it happens that I wrote to google, and I received their answer within minutes, then this question came up, that answer was so similar to the answer of a human, but at the same time was the way a bot responds...., the thing is that if it was a bot, how did it know that I had a problem.., and more particularly in one particular field????..... It freaks me out just to think that in a soon future lets say for example that one of your friends gets a facial surgery, then you ask for the doctor as a reference, and suddenly she says: I don't know if the one who did it on me was a Human or a Bot......
This kind of situation if you think it deeply can lead us to the point where we will be living like the humans in animatrix !!!! I'm a tech lover.., but I think that everything has an edge.., and somehow we are aproaching to the human one....

Lockdown in sector 4!

Gmail is great, it's capacity, it's search engine.., everything is awesome, but I'm very tired of geting this message of "lockdown in sector 4" at least twice a week, and what it does is block my account from 2 to 12 hours, and the reason is that I'm not using it properly.., obviosuly that's not true.., because I'm not sending spam, not even using it as an storage drive and so on..., and that's unpluging me from the email network.

GOOGLEEE !! I hope you can fix this bug or whatever that can be.

Google's quote of the day

This is my google quote of the day:

"Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation."
-Kin Hubbard

Fair or unfair, that's the question...

And suddenly the question comes.., is this fair or unfair ??

Beans...Beans...Beans...I definetively love beans !

On saturday I ate beans for lunch...., then on sunday I also ate beans for lunch..., and on monday (today) I ate beans for breakfast !!! Am I addicted or what !!!!
After playing paintball on sunday I went to my farm..., went to bed very early..., I was shot !!! Jajjajaa, plus that I was very tired of running and all of that in the field..
Today came back to the city and went with naty to see a movie called "Solo contra si mismo", a swedish one.., and it was very good !!! I liked it very much. The preview is as follows:

"Suecia, años cincuenta. Un joven de 16 años cuya vida ha estado plagada de violencia por el maltrato de su padrasto, responde instintivamente de la única forma que conoce... sin importar quien se atraviese en su camino. Cuando es expulsado de la escuela, su madre lo envía con grandes sacrificios a Stjärnsberg, una prestigiosa institución privada. Para su sorpresa, ahí la tranquilidad es inexistente, pues el plantel está tomado por los estudiantes más adinerados y antiguos con la complicidad de los profesores. El objetivo de Erik es permanecer libre de problemas, pero ahí se encontrará con las “armas” para combatir su presente, pasado y futuro."

It has also a lot of movie awards.., in case that you don't beleiveme that it's a good one:

"PREMIOS

Festival de Cine Europeo de Viareggio 2003, Italia "Premio FIPRESCI al Director y Premio a Mejor Actor".

Festival Internacional de Cine de Miami 2004, Estados Unidos "Premio del Público a Mejor Película".

Festival Internacional de Cine de Shangai 2004, China "Premios Copa Dorada a Mejor Actor y Fotografía".

Nominación a Mejor Dirección. "Premios Guldbagge del Instituto de Cine Sueco 2004"

Premio a Mejor Película, Fotografía y Diseño de Producción
Nominación a Mejor Dirección, Guión, Actor y Actor de Reparto.

NOMINADA

Oscar de la academia 2004 "Mejor Película en idioma extranjero""

Well well, time for me to go to sleep.

Paintball: We were the target this time.

This game was diferent..., we were the target this time.., it was supoused to be an easy game.., being us the flawless shooters.., however before starting 2 extrangers asked if they could play with us.. No pro.., so they joined us and started playing.., the 2 guys for the other team...., and they did pin down to all of us all the time...., they were pros ! Anyway the game was pretty cool and is always a good thing to play with somebody better than you. I also hooked up with them to get cheap ammunition, plus to get to know they folks and play with them.
In total, I got shooted 9 times...., 2 of them are already hurting me.

Too Much Cocktails...

Well, yesterday I went to the Melody lounge and got kind of drunk there.., drank something like 5 cocktails called "Putin" in about one hour...., and shortly after that went to the B-Lounge.., richi was playing there again..., I stayed there until 12:30 AM, I was VERY tired..., so I went home.
Arrgghhhhh, and I got my car crashed..., not big deal..., the exhaust got a little bit hurt but nothing to worry about.., however I have to get it fixed tomorrow because one of the rubbers that support it underneath the car got broken..., so it has a weird noise.
Tomorrow I have a final exam at 6 AM, I can't beleive it !! Honestly, I hate to wake up early in the morning.., I'd rather to stay awake until late.
Probably this weekend, to be more precise on sunday we'll go to the fields and play paintball again.
The operative systems final project got moved to the next wednesday.., so I guess that I'll try to fix some small details on it.., after all I've been working pretty hard on it and it's fair to get a sip of tranquility this weekend.

Can't Sleep...

It's 1:00 AM and I can't sleep. I arrove 1 hour ago from velez's house..., we were working on the last project for Sistemas Operativos, it's almost done, but it needs a lot of details that I won't have the time to work on having in mind that I'm the only one who's working on it from a team of 3 guys...., now 2 cuz Velez decided today to cancel the asignature.
Decisions..., small issues at home.., family problems..., I think that's one of the reasons why I can't sleep right now..., besides..., I enjoy writing on my blog at this time in the night when nobody is bothering or calling me.
I got a proposal today from DMG to start working with them..., not so sure already..., looks like a good oportunitie..., it fits on my plans...., at least for vacations..., after all I don't have so much things to do...., and maybe, just maybe I'll continue working as a full time employee..., who knows, because one of my priorities right now is to finish my career.
This computer is so quiet..., I'm just amazed.., because the other one was very noisy.., plus that it used to produce a lot of heat.., thus not allowing me to put it on my legs while I'm in my bed.
Not too much night owls connected to msn right now..., nobody interesting to talk to anyway...
Today a new pal got introduced to our selected group of "critics" at gmail..., welcome Ochoa if you're reading this.
It's incredible how quiet is at night......., I wish I wouldn't need to sleep..., just imagine how many things you could at night..., plus how much more effective you would be.... It's interesting just to thing that almost 1/3 of our lives we spend it sleeping.... I wish I could be sleepless...

Well, I think that's time to try to go to bed..., my mind is going blind.., or white as I normally call it when I'm tired..., so I guess I'm going to hit "Publish Post" and go to my bed.

Cya.

Paintball Day..

So yes, today we went to play paintaball in "La Cola del Zorro" at 11 AM, sunny day...., between us: Tafur, Julian, Luisga, Jorge, and me..
The game was awesome.., we played capture the flag, deathmatch, and team deathmatch. Lot's of adrenaline and laughs at the end.
My best shot was to tafur (See picture underneath) I flanked him and the shot.
I received three shots.., 2 on my right hand fingers (not big deal) and one in my shoulder.., it wasn't that hard though......., but it left a small red point there.



Right now watching "Jade" and there's a funny x-men it's a kind of frog I think....., rainny night.., very very cold..., and a little bit foggy.
Classes are over now....., today I wrote the final paper for "Axiologia" which is an asignature that I really hate...., it's not more useless because it's impossible......., that's what I call a waste of time. Ok, that's it for that asignature.., the remaining ones are Metodos cuantitativos I, and Economia general which are written test's.., and Sistemas Operativos that's a huge project !! That asignature is killing me, I'm telling you.., long long time ago I wasn't that devoted to just one asignature. 2 weeks non-stop of C++ coding. The good think is that yesterday I saw my grades and I need a 2.0 to pass this asignature...., and with the progress of the project I'm to get more than that.

Well, yesterday I also received my Dell Inspiron 6000 with carbon fiber cover...., I'm very happy with it. If I have to give a number between 0 and 5 for the design of this gadget I will give it a 4.5.., nice work Dell.
Time to go to bed. Hope to keep posting more often.

B-Lounging.....

Yesterday, before going home I went to B-Lounge, my Friend "Richi" just started Dj'ing there..., his first session there was pretty awesome...., the bad thing is that he had to end it a little bit fast, because this other DJ Cris was the main one..., I have to say that she suck's..., or at least she's not my style.......
B-Lounge was very changed since the last time that I went there.., having in mind that it was maybe a year ago.., so yes..., I like it more the way it's now...., I think it has a kind of influence from the cubism..., which makes it unique among the other lounges...
This Sunday is paintball day.., I'm going with some friends from the university..., I hope to don't have the chance to put any picture here of myself "impacted" by one of those paintballs. Instead, I hope to publish here pictures of my friends impacted by let's say ME !!!!!!
Hopefully I'll get my new Dell laptop Inspiron 6000 today..., and if not, it'll be tomorrow...., however I cannot wait to get it..., I really need mobility, don't you ???

Shooting some cars with paintball !!!

My paintball finally arrove today....., and with it came a lot of fun. Today at night, standing from a 9th floor we started shooting cars..., not to mention that I achieve the highest score thanks to my aiming skills !!! jajajjajajajajaja, however, I did shot the next cars:
-Chevrolet Corsa.
-Cadillac.
-Mitshubishi Van.
-Bus.
-Mitsubishi Van.
I don't remember any more. BTW, the proper verb to use when you shoot something or somebody with this kind of equipment is "TO MARK".

A nice picture that I took...

I wanted to put this pic that I took from the window of my room a few days ago..., I like it so much..., means a lot of things for me. Does it means something to you ?

Making a parenthesis...., talking about "El Hueco".

Well dear reader, right now my brain is kind of roasted or fried What should I say ??? what´s the diference anyway ????..., the point is that concentration is a variable and I´m loosing it or should I say my brainis loosing it with each second that goes away..... The consequence is that I cannot focus anymore and it makes my coding performance in C++ goes down....
That´s why I decided to write here that today I finished a book that I wanted to read a long time ago, called "El Hueco" written by German Castro Caicedo. "El Hueco" tells how the Colombians run away from their loved country which by that time had a strong lack of oportunities focusing themselves on the United States of NorthAmerica going throughout Mexico, Hawai and Haiti. The author also relates the bad tratment that the Mexican authorities gave to the Colombians that were caught trying to cross the "border" between that countries. Lot´s of stories from lot´s of people......... that there was a point that I couldn´t beleive, but sadly they´re true.
I´ve eyestrain now...., I should go to bed now after 8 hours non-stop C++ coding.

Sniff..., Sniff..., my Lava lamp is no longer working.., I've no idea why ! It boosts my creativity when I´m coding, studying or whatsoever...., I´m afraid that I´ll have to buy another one... BTW, if somebody reads this and wants to give me a nice and valuable present.., just give me a lava lamp. I´ll apreciate it more than what you can imagine.

****

End of Transmission.

C++ can you be my friend this time ?

Ok, this time I´ll code it by myself.., can´t rely on third party to acomplish this project.
Right now watching at my lava lamp over my desk making strange figures...., while thinking and coding.....

El Metrocable !!!

Ok, finally I took some time to go and see the "MetroCable"..., for those who don´t know what it is, or what it can be, is a kind of mobile chairs.., similars to the ones that people use when they go skiing..., but this time they´re not for fun, they´ve been built to help to improve poor people life´s.., and boy !! they did a great job doing that !!! It was amazing to go up in the mountain in just a few minutes.



This was the forgotten part of the city, and I´m very glad that the government took them in mind and did a great labor there...., giving something to the people who need most.... Being there make me realize that I´ve everything that I need.., that my life´s perfect compared to them..., that I don´t need anything else..., that I have so much to give...., so much to help..., and that´s what I´ll be doing the second part of these year.., giving my grain of sand to help the one´s that weren´t so lucky, the one´s that don´t have anything..., and need a lot of things.
If you want to help to this cause I´ll be posting here more information throughout the second half of this year.

The whole family gathered in the farm to celebrate the mother´s day...., we had a great lunch with a yummy turkey.



Paco, the dog was all the time looking for something to eat from this bird..., that´s why he tried to grab something from the trashcan and this was the result.... You can also see Toby, the lovely french poodle that´s all the time with us at home and also in the farm.., we love them both !



The next day, Paco was very dirty, so my sister decided to give him a shower.... (that´s it paco, good boy !! good boy !!! giveme that hand !!)

Unplugged....

This is Bad, I had a billing problem with my ISP (Their fault this time) so I don`t have broadband for these days at home.., what a mess !!!!!!!! I hope to to fix that soon !!

House music, sweet for the ears...

On saturday we went to a party with Antoine Clamaran, Alanis and other pretty awesome dj´s.., tha main genre was House music..., which was just and simple great.
It was on a disco called Ibiza, from there you can see all the city...., incredible view.... plus the music equals great experience. The people there was also great, very friendly, got to know a lot of people..., and it was a non-forgetable farewell to my cousin maurop who was going to fly back to Paris on the next day.
No energy is the common denominator for these days..., I guess I´ll have to eat plenty of salads, fruits, meats and other stuff to bring the energy back to my body.
