Algo Pequeñito :)

Eurovision 2010 has finally ended, and I could not be happier about Spain's song

Even though it didn't win, in my opinion it should have been up with the top 4. I truly enjoyed Daniel's performance (as well as the dancers'!). What I did not enjoy though (but did laugh) was the stage invasion made by the Catalan spectator. I thought it was quite disrespectful to Daniel, but at least no physical harm was done.

It was nice to listen to a Spain song in Spanish, rather than so much English everywhere. So maybe not everyone understood the lyrics, but you can always look them up and have them translated!

How do you fall asleep?

I don't know wether it happens to everybody, but sometimes I just lie on the bed for minutes, maybe hours, and I cannot sleep. Nowadays that's not happening to me that often. But some time ago I needed to read a lot or just wait. I also happens to me when I am starting to dream and someone/something makes me wake. I have tried counting sheeps, but it's quite boring to me, I prefer just counting, sometimes it works. I have other tricks, like imagining I am flying (it really relaxes me) or that everything I can see is white or black... They works usually but they are not 100 percent accurate hehe.
Do you have any trick or method to sleep?
That is the reason I posted this, I was surfing the Internet and I found this:

Ada's translation:

while Still_Awake (Me) loop
      Sheep := Sheep + 1;
end loop;

P.S.: Maybe this is the last time I write here so goodbye to everybody and have a nice Summer.

Euthanasia for youngsters

A few days ago, I was talking to my mother about euthanasia, and I asked her not to let me live in a coma, relying on artificial machines and fluids which would come out from a bottle. If I were in such an state, I'd rather she unplugged me - I guess I'd be better off dead.

After I had said that, my mother got up, and she unplugged my TV, my DVD player, my PC, my MP3/MP4 player, my PlayStation 2, my PSP, my Wii and my telephone. Then she took my mobile phone, my iPod, my BlackBerry and all my cans of beer from me.

I almost snuffed it that day.

Thanks to Gazmira, who sent me this text. I hope it's fictional.

Frustrations

Even though all of us know that computers can be rather annoying, there are some times when we end up just puzzled. What would you think if you came across any of these?

You might not want to read all of these.

Chuck

Chuck is a comedy T.V show for lovers of anything geek or  spy/action stuff. Because basically it’s a combination of geeky computer type stuff, super spy action, ninja moves that look like combo moves from Tekken, really hot girls ninja fighting, a really cute geeky guy who is just really cute, and hilarious comedy that makes me wonder why all shows aren’t written as well.
The plot? A great one. Basically, a cute guy who works at a low class job, The Nerd Herd in a BuyMore, gets a super computer in his head after he sees all these pictures encrypted with government secrets. Now, he is in a constant state of fear as he has to help the government catch all these bad guys and make sure he himself isn’t killed.
A very good show.
You should watched it.

Serj Tankian

Hi and good afternoon to everybody again. Today, I won't speak about videogames or philosophical ideals(like I always did), Today I will speak about one of my favourite singers in the world: the libanist with armenian origin Serj Tankian, who was born in August of 1967.
Serj was in his time the vocalist of a group called "System Of a Down", a rock music group which succedeed between 2000-2005. The group, which was originally for USA, had the particularity that no one of their components was american, all of their were of Armenian origin(The vocalist: Serj Tankian, The guitarists: Daron Malakian and Shavo Odadijian and the Drummer: John Dolmayan).The group succeeded practicaly in all entire world, with a original style and polemic letters(like in songs "She is Like Heroine" or "Violent Pornography") but also letters that questioned you some concepts of our world today(for example "Question!" and "Dreaming").

Serj migrated to USA when he was 5 years old because of money problems with his family. In the school, he met his frien Daron Malakian. With him, he forms the group "Soil" with another childhood friend, but this friend suicide a few months later. 3 years later, Daron and Serj met the other componemts of System of a Down(SOAD) and form the grop. In their first disc, Serj called one of the songs "Soil" in honor to his suicide friend.

SOAD took 5 great disc: SOAD(1998), Toxicity(2001), Steal this Album!(2002), Hypnotize(2005) and Mezmerize(2005), caracterized all of them for a incredible stylesheet and a perfect harmony between all the instruments of the band.

With the time, Serj and Daron falled out between their and broke the band in 2006. Consequentelly, Serj public a disc like solist: "Elect the Dead"(2007) but he do not lost his particular syle to see the music: some polemic letters(like "empty walls") and others that could take you to reflex and send an applause to Serj ("Saving us" is a great example). In september, he will put in sale his second solo album "Imperfect Harmonies" wich will mix jazz, rock and orchestra.
Some rumors said that the group of SOAD could be reunite soon, but his second solo album confirm that the return of SOAD should be wait a little time more. Personally, I will be glad if the group will reunite soon, but I must recognize that Serj is a Genius even he work alone

Nothing more people, I will put you here a video of SOAD and a video of his solo album "Elect The dead" to check by yourselves if is best alone or in group. See you soon, guys!

When you feel bad , just read this...

Have you ever felt a mix between sadness and anger? Sometimes it happens to me. I use to think It's a transition between complain and step towards change those things that make you feel bad.
The problem arises when you don't know how to face this sensation, It comes at this short moment in which everything is dark and you just want to cry and let your life pass by with no sense.
Well, dear friend, waste your time crying is not the solution, sometimes it helps you to let off steam but, only crying, you won't change those things you don't like in your life.
Don't complain , Don't give up. Those things are typical of people that are affraid of themselves , people that don't know themselves.
The real strenght lies in the actions. You should do everything that is necessary to feel better: put your ideas in order and regard some different perspectives. These actions will help you realize that any problem you have is not so important to make you feel bad.
Get up, wash your face and go on. Learn about yourself, your limits and break them.
Just remember something: if you know yourself better than nobody does, you'll get the victory in any battle.
You are worth as much as you value yourself.

Why??

Why have you decided to study computer science?
I create this entry, because I would like to know why you are studying computer science.
In my case I decided to study computer science because since I was a young child (5 or 6 years old). I was interested in computers.

Please, tell me your story.

Puzzle No. 6

Last time, it was Dany who said the correct solution: the only way to avoid the garlic's smell was putting the two corks in the nose of our friend!! Congratulations to Dany for finding out the solution so quickly!

But now, the level of the puzzles will become difficult and harder to think. Are you ready for puzzle number six? Ok, let's go then:
If I give you this succession of numbers:

4 - 16 - 37 - 58 - ?- 145 - 42 - 20 - 4 - 16...

Could you tell me which is the number that must be putted when the question mark(?) is?

Clue: The Series ends in "20" and restarts again in "4".
