Siramthar Delira

Today I was making a fast circuit through all other freaks' blogs, and surprisingly landed upon Hernan's Blog of Hate. (Then I managed to see that Sergio just dropped out the next and previous Freak links with the evil previous and next links from the evil robot. Well, to reach Fidelius Blog I just had to run the whole ring backwards...) Anyway, I just found Hernan's blog and think of this as a good surprise. I managed to know him almost on my last class at the university, "Computacion Forense". I saw he was a good person then. And once surprised me when he knew by heart the whole text of the Evangelion soundtrack... "zaa un koku na tenshi no these"..
Hope he goes on with his music and his band.
Till next time!

As Les Luthiers would say: "La verdad absoluta no existe ... y esto es absolutamente cierto". ("The absolute truth does not exist... and this is absolutely true).
I just think that this world could be in peace if everyone knew that their point of view isn't the only one there is, and that maybe, maybe, that point of view is wrong. Maybe the others are right. Just listen to them. And then try to understand why they think different. And then check your own opinion to see if maybe you're wrong.
All we need to do this is a little bit of education for everyone... hopefully with the internet everyone could have access to education... but you also can find a lot of places filled with hate and anger... too bad.

I thought that the worst phrase a woman could say to you is "We need to talk" ... no, the worst is "I like you too, buy only as a friend". Well, there are surely many other phases.
I call that the GFS (Good Friend Syndrome). Hopefully I will find a cure to this.. I kinda found a pre-release vaccine, but I don't like the way this turned out to be.... I'll surely write about this in the future.

On another point, I envy Fidelius, Javo and Alejo on their journey to the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy. I've always wanted to go camping there, but I don't know when this could be... maybe I should make a new year purpose for it. Way to go!

Well, I'll go to watch the Colombia - Paraguay soccer game. Hope it to be a good game.
See ya suckahs!

To keep up with the flaming wars going on around the Lord of the Rings' movies, I'd like to state that everyone that thinks "I'm cool because I read the 4 Lord of the Rings books (including the prelude, of course) I know it by heart and can keep a 5 minute discussion about how long Frodo's fingernails should be" is an ass if he hasn't read the Silmarillion...

... including me... I just started to read it, and have fallen asleep the last 15 days I started reading it when going to the bed... not to wonder, since I'm sleeping a lot less than usual. Damn Civilization III! Also, the book tends to be really slow. If you thought that the Lord of the Rings is a slow book, and The Hobbit too, then this book will manage to give you the impression they weren't. Anyway, I just think that Tolkien rocks, that the books are great, no matter how tired I am when I read them. And I also liked that the movie just leaves Tom Bombadil in oblivion. I also liked a lot more the Extended DVD version of The Fellowship of the Rings, since it shows more details about the background of the characters. It still has the limitations of movies, of course, and I think Peter Jackson managed to put a really feasible and credible adaptation of Tolkien's masterpiece. Of course, if I could make a 60-hour long movie to honor Tolkien, I would, but alas! that cannot be done. Sorry. Peter Jackson had a time limit, and that would be the maximum interval between 2 consecutive must-go-to-the-bathroom events. I think you all know that it was proposed to him to make One movie for all the fans in the world, doomed to find many errors, but he managed to make three movies for all of them to find less mistakes, and book cut-outs. Many thank yous to all the people that made the computer graphics area grow so much, and to those that use them aplications so wonderful as to make such great scenes.

I remember having seen Terminator 2 on these days... and I thought, well, those special effects doesn't look as good as the first time I saw the movie... the same to Terminator, the first movie, when you can see the movement of the robot being an animatronics, and shoot frame by frame... just as the robot in Robocop (I don't remember if 1 or 2). . . I just hope to be astonished every time I go to a movie.

Lastly, I just wanted to write something I read somewhere once... or heard somewhere, I just can't remember.
"Love is the way the nature tricks us for the perpetuation of the human species"

Have a good day,

I have to acknowledge that the best error on the Lord of the Rings movie is the one that's not a mistake:

"Considerado incorrectamente como un error. El patrón de calvicie de Bilbo en Rivendel depende de una concentración de bilirrubina superior a 230 más allá de cuatro horas después de haber comido. Más tarde, primeros planos de sus manos muestran numerosas manchas, cuya presencia excluye la posibilidad de producción de querotonina. La inhibición en la producción de querotonina y la elevada concentración de bilirrubina producen uñas extraordinariamente largas en manos y pies. Sin embargo, Frodo claramente sufre de uñas reducidas. Dado que Frodo no es un descendiente directo de Bilbo esta inconsistencia genética no es necesariamente un error."
You may find the whole list of errors in this page.

Last saturday we played again Republic of Rome with Juan C. and some other friends, Alvaro, Gabriel, Hugo and Ana. Through trial and error we finally managed to have a less static gameflow. It is really a good excuse to discuss and fight for the supreme power in the roman senate. Although this time the people were restless (unrest level = 10, my goodness).

I bought Civilization III a week ago. What a good game! It has only one problem... you cannot go to bed early even if you're tired. Since last week I only managed to sleep around 3 and a half hours weekdays. On weekends I obviously manage to sleep a little more, even if there is no electrical supply on my neighborhood caused by a storm last sunday. It has improved many things whose management were not straightforward, and the artificial intelligence has improved a lot. It seems that I managed to impress both Juan C. and Alvaro, since they bought it last weekend.

Speaking of computer games and friends, I expect to be able to host a LAN Party in the next weeks. It's possibilities grow up since many of our friends have bought laptops. At least we could gather 5 pc's at my place, since I have 2, connect them in a lan and play until our eyelids give up. Then sleep 5 hours, wash our head and keep playing! It's been a long time until we did this at the University, at Phreak's home, with Executor, Bombas, Borrax Eva, Memin, Trascanuta, Mamonda, Octano, Poseidon, Joaco, Apocalypsis and Caicedo (sorry, I cannot remember your nick). Those were good times ... This time I think I will be the best of my friends, not the lamer. :-)

O.K. Now I have to leave.. See you later!

A long time has passed since my last update... I've been too busy with some projects that I have barely slept. I'm now at work and since I finished this little project, and debugged it, I was reminded that I hadn't updated this in a while. So here it goes...

The rest of the last year passed by working a lot, finishing a proyect that had to start on Jan 2, so I had to give a hand on it. The 31 there was an unexpected party at Ana's appartment, the head count was 4. Ana, Erica, Julian and me, I stayed just until 9:30 pm, since I had to go home and spend some time with my parents. I would have gladly returned, but at 1:30 am I couln't find no cab... next time it will be.

Laborally, I've been called by many persons to develop them some web applications, hopefully I can keep on those "extras" I get.

Tomorrow it's planned a meeting of the members of our old role-playing group "El Viento del Norte", with those that are here and LaYa, she is one member that lives in Barcelona and we haven't seen her for about 3 years. If you see this, you may be able to find us (and companions) at The Pub around 6:30 p.m. Only chance to see (almost all) of our group. Only our master is missing and one player that couldn't come for christmas. Unbelievable. I think the last time we were so many together was the last session's day.

Well, life seems to be flowing these days, a moment too fast, the next second too slow... my mood seems to be shifting from one extreme to the other... I think I need to sleep more... :-)

That's it, hope you enjoyed this chatter.

See ya later!
