Ubuntu Now

I recently made my choice about the OS issue. I will migrate to Ubuntu at my home PC and sync my zune at work (which was the main restriction in doing so). Maybe I'll have to double boot (two OS) my home PC, i haven't decided on that yet. I'll let you know soon how it went...

10,222 days since Day 0

I'm now 28 years old, plus 2 days as of today. It's amazing how time goes by faster when you're getting older than when we were little kids. 28 sounds a lot, of course it depends on the perspective. To many, 28 is at the beginning of life; to me, yeah, it's a lot too.

This last few days have been very dramatic to every extent of my life. I have had revelations to the point of being overwhelmed no matter if it's for good or bad. I won't get into details, it's too confusing even for me.

Anyway, on the bright side I spent my birthday party at a friend's apartment. Just friends, kind of boring to some party animals but to me, it works great. I'll post some pictures afterwards.

I don't remember if I posted this, but my car became a subject of vandalism, as somebody (may his body be eternally ripped apart over and over for all eternity in hell, along with the moroccan who.... you know who) stole my favorite backpack with my zune's sync cable, a wall charger (also for the Zune) and a pair of passive speakers. Anyway, I was given the sync cable so finally I can charge my zune and listen to it again!!!

Anyway, congrats to everybody who turned something at July 22nd.

Cheers,

Neill Blomkamp and the Halo movie

Hello IR, it's been a while since I wrote anything here, been very busy completing my objectives at work and writing my dog's (Molko) blog, so I sort of left mine on the side. I was checking out the "Halo: Arms Race" video released at the E3 and realized it was being directed by Blomkamp who, if you happen to know, is the chosen director for the upcoming Halo movie.

According to what I've read, Neill was chosen by Jackson after he watched "Alive in Joburg" which is pretty good and would be very interesting to find out how Neill will work in this project. After all, he will be crucified if the movie doesn't live up to Halo fans expectations. Of course many of them will be disappointed, there will always be fanboys who will never be pleased unless they get something exactly as they imagined it.

Anyway, here's the short film that got NB to direct Halo, followed by two more of his projects, named Tetra Vaal and Yellow, and the directed short film Halo: Arms Race. Happy Viewing.

Molko Day One Videos

Well, finally some videos of Molko, my boxer. Here he's about 1 month old and he's cute as hell! You can check out his blog (in Spanish) where "he" writes about important events in his life, the main goal is having his life documented and see how he grows!
