1 comment| stolen at theloft club 14.02.2005 |
| Another fact to compare UK and SPAIN. The first month of 2004 I went with some friends (from all the world) to Barcelona. To eat some "tapas" at Ramblas zone and then we went to theloft. The music was not bad and all that, but what was my sourprise that we seen a security guy getting some coats where we leave out coats. But ours wasn't there, after a lot of discussions and after some threat from the security guy to kick me out of the club we seen another security guy wearing some globes of one of our friends. My coat was obviously stolen by the security staff. I sent an email after that to the organization and they told me "come here and say who was the security guy who stolen you". Sure! haha.. In UK is very different. A friend of mine just lost the tickets of her coat, and the next day went to the club, ask for the coat, just some description and the guy give it to her. Easy! isn't it? |

| "Can you believe it -- this is the fourth request to be in Mariana Velloso's friend network. If this means that you do not care to be in Mariana's mobile friend network, then just say so - and save both of you the hassle. It only takes a few seconds!" yeah.. can you beleive it?! this is hilarious! this is the how the spam looks like these days.. |

| bbva = error de conexión 08.02.2005 |
| bbvanet, la web para administrar tus cuentas de bbva por internet, es lo peor! llevo 4 intentos para hacer una transferencia, se desconecta, vuelve a la home, da errores aleatorios, cada vez uno diferente. Y por descontado no funciona en Firefox, y vamos, no te avisa de que no es compatible, simplemente no se contecta y da otro error, sin mas. En cambio, para pagar cualquier recibo que me llegue a casa (en londres) tengo una web, house.co.uk, totalmente compatible, donde te creas un usuario, pagas a la compañia que toca, sin problemas intuitivo y sin tener que hacer ninguna llamada. Es cuestion de invertir un poco mas de dinero para ganarse muchos mas clientes.. Es que mira que es fácil!! España es así! Grrrrr!! |

| I, Robot is just a xerox 05.02.2005 |
| Yesterday my computer had I, Robot as a present to me, I was really tired and I decided to sleep and watch the movie today. The movie, as you know, was released some time ago, last summer if i'm not wrong. I was not very interested in check out it as the design of the robots wasn't very attractive (imho). Anyway I just wanted to check out today. And actually is not bad at all, very entertaining and good action scenes. But the story, the plot is basicly another American xerox to a japanesse Manga. This time Patlabor 2. 90% of the movie es basicly the same. It's a shame that nobody have seen that one. After some research I realized that Patlabor 2 was directed by Mamory Oshii (Ghost in the Shell & co), and that explain why I enjoyed it 10 years ago when I've seen it. Also googling more I found that Alex Proyas was as well the director of The Crow, and I then wondered how that guy could continue doing movies after kill Bruce Lee's son :S |

| tadalist.. bastards! 04.02.2005 |
| Some minutes ago, sole sent me that website: tadalist. tadalist is another project done by the same guys that did basecamp. We were using since some months ago basecamp at work.. and it really works very fine, the whole project is well done and everything is very easy to do. tadalist is a very small part of basecamp that actually i usually don't use, but as feature is very cool. You can manage all your to do list very easily with it. I still missing groups and some features on it, but the idea is very cool, argh! ;) And have a great google feelling. Kudos to 37 signals |

| keep saving time! 03.02.2005 |
| Just some hours after write that post I found some nice stuff for the handheld. gpengine (with best 20 games pack) pcengine emulator with a pack of the best 20 games for it. That pack is really cool as some of the games that are in it are some of the games I was playing when I was small, that tennis one is quite addictive. SCUMM Pack I tried some months ago to use it on the handheld, but I had a lot of problems, with that pack everything is easy, and you got the games on the pack as well (but you will need the codes for each one, also day of the tentacle stills a bit buggy (it's a shame as I was trying to play the full game)) Dr.MD v1.0 That one doesn't include the roms, you have to search on internet for them, but the emulation is good enough to play on the bus on the way work some fast icehockey games :') Also, latelly, una-i is doing a 3drasterizer for the handheld and is very interesting ( you can download the last example here. If unai eventually finish them there will be probably a new era for the handheld. Perhaps I'll do a game for it also O:) |

| bloody page rank! 31.01.2005 |
| It's very funny how page ranking, google things and all that sort of things are annoying the web developing process.. It's not the first time that I have to sort that out, but now I'm doing right now a new version of a website. The design was looking fine, good new ideas and techy things but now, finishing the website, the client is asking to have a bunch of text at the footer of the page, like "special optimized text for searchers". That thing breaks the design easily, I tested things like adding the text in a layer and putting a fixed height to it, with an overflow:none, showing then only the first line of the content. But they say that Google can detect those kind of tricks. I honestly don't know if that's true or not but is making me lose time. The last problem is that google does have a pagerank with the old existing pages on the site, these pages were .html, now the site is done in .php and is really late to sort that thing. I'm sure that this "new" issues are happening to a lot of people.. so.. why they had to invent that page rank thing? It's very annoying!! ;) |
