Spring is finally Coming

spring is coming Originally uploaded by fernandadesu . I feel it in the air. Spring is here. And to acompany this feeling I've found a very nice picture on flickr. Overall I'm feeling pretty good now that spring has come around. I am currently working on my Ruby on Rails skills and finally got around to developing my personal homepage. It will be launched at the end of April. Which is a very small timeframe for what I've planed to do. You've got to push yourself from time to time to see what you can achieve.

Opera overtakes Firefox

The latest preview of the skandinavian browser Opera 9 successfully passes the Acid 2 test. Opera staff-member Tim Altman documents the build versions tests results with screenshots on his webpage . Opera's latest build test result: View a screenshot.

Bin Laden

According to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey conducted in December 2005, 68% of Americans believe that the United States will not be able to capture or kill Bin Laden in 2006. And you know what? There are more important things so spend money on than to look for that old idiot hiding somewhere in the middle of nowhere between Afganistan and Pakistan. It would probably piss him off way more if we just ignore him and laugh about him, than to take him seriously.

Life is good...

Wow, I didn't post in here a long time I guess. So I guess whoever if anybody reading this could use an update. Well my new job is fun. I program web applications all day long. It's actually better than college because I finally get to go hands on with programing. The theory is over! I like coding and college wasn't enough of it for me. Anyhow I'm pretty exited about Apple's iLife '06 suite. The apps are pretty cool, especially the new iMovie. It really kicks ass. I'm really thinking about buying it, also because of the new GarageBand and its podcasting functionality. If you want to check the whole details out yourself go head on over to Apple's website.

Lots of shit, but some good news.

Well, last week of April I got my motherboard back. Well, not exactly, I got my money back and sent out for a new one. Then I visited the NorthCon Summer Event. It was pretty cool. Anyhow, I'm out of college, under graduate. :( But, whatever! I promised some good news to. I've got a new job. I start August 1, 2005. I've done an inturnship there already, it was cool.

Bad News. I'm not patient.

Well believe it or not. My new PC is broken. I'm so sad. In the first week of February it broke on me. Being more specific, my motherboard was the cause. I sent it in for a repair or exchange. It hasn't returned yet. It is Taking very long. Over a month now. I sent it in on February 7, 2005. Luckily I still have a PowerMac to my side. The trusty Mac OS X and Apple hardware haven't let me down since I've become to know them in 2001.

I have it and I like it.

My new PC is great. There are still two things missing I didn't plan on buying at first. Memory and a new hard drive. But My motherboard, CPU, and graphics card rock. I finally can now enjoy my games again. And have more fun on LAN parties. Speaking of witch the upcoming NorthCon will be a blast. From Dec 17 to Dec 19. Three thousand people are expected to be taking part in this event. I wonder just how big it will be. The NorthCon party is why I need a new hard drive :)
