Today has been a GREAT day...
... well so far at least..
First thin in the morning I was contacted via MSN Messenber by a friend I've been trying to contact for a couple of years, and seems like she was trying to contact me too. She took a wild guess at my email address and found me. We talked a lot, I'm so glad.

Then in the afternoon I came across a post in a forum for a Dragonlance Trailers page. A few guys had the dream (like most of us Dragonlance fans) to see a Dragonlance Movie, and they went ahead and did it. Of course that they didn't have the resources to make the whole movie, and did some trailers instead.

This is the link for the project. I'm downloading the videos, but the photos I've seen so far, I've already liked.

Too bad that something bad is going to happen (I can't have a perfect day, we all know that!!) :(

Nerd Test
I got a nerd test and it seems i'm not a nerd, i'm just a geek :(
Well, you gotta start somewhere.
New year's resolution : BECOME A *REAL* NERD.

BTW, the link to the nerd evaluation test is here
Go to the Nerd Test

This is my evaluation:

The Nerd Test Evaluation Report
We're sorry, but you are not a nerd, you are a geek.

Domestic:
You probably own more surge protectors than cooking utensils.
Social:
Taking tests like this is probably the only way you can score.
Health:
You might consider bringing your laptop out of doors for some fresh air.
Aptitude:
You don't seem to have any skills whatsoever.
Career:
You would probably enjoy being a BOFH..

Life after tivo.
Get a Tivo, I can't go back to life without Tivo.El tivo funciona. El de 40 horas es muy pequeño, get a bigger one. Uno cree que porque "Lo voy a usar como un VHS nada mas" le va a rendir. Es mentira, no sera suficiente.

Tivo will cost you US$12 a month, but it's worth it.You can schedule regular shows as season passes, or you could schedule wishlists (grabame todo lo que den con Tom Cruise), or better yet, you can schedule recordings from the web (cool if you're gonna stay late at the office but don't want to miss a movie that will be on later).

I'ts true you can do the same with a PC and software like Snapstream or a Media Center PC, but those won't cost $200 like the 40Hrs tivo will, or $300 the 40hrs one.

Tivo won't work with telecable, you're gonna need Dish or DirectTV.

Que susto!!!!

Ayer pense que mi iPod habia muerto.
Estaba oyendo musica en el camino a la casa, y tuve que detenerme a comprar algo, so puse el iPod en pausa y lo apague. Luego 10 minutos mas tarde, cuando intento prenderlo NO HACE NADA!!.
Pense que la bateria se habia acabado. Cuando llegue a la casa, la conecto a la electricidad y todavia no prende!!! Comienzo a puncharla y nadita de nada... Busco en el site de support de Apple y dice que presione Menu + Select por 10 segundos. Lo hice y nada de nada. Ya tenia los ojos aguados, estaba buscando en Apple.com el procedimiento para devolverla. En una dije 'dejame intentar de nuevo' y REVIVIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Aparentemente yo le estaba dando mal a los botones.

Bueno, porque se apago? Quien sabe!! I hope que haya sido la bateria que se haya acabado porque ayer la use bastante. (Si, LA, es hembra, mi iPod es hembra, como todos mis aparatos electronicos que son hembra).

Ojala y no me de otro susto asi, porque no puedo estar en esto!!!!

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I’m goin’ crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe

Nice song, kind of true though.
