Hey there,
Bought Suzanne Vega's (remember her? from "Luka", or "The Queen and the Soldier" or "Caramel", or "left of Center", or "When Heroes go Down", or maybe "Undertow", or "99.9 Fahrenheit" ... ?) last record (Beauty and Crime) last week.
Still enjoying it on the car... hell of a disc, have to take time to listen to it at home... :)

Back?
Hi !!
Well, true... Am I back to this massacring blog posts?
These have been interesting times, learning a few new things et al...
But well.. I admit, this has been most of all to write something here again...
To remember the bitterness of my Sporting (what a miserable season, and how misdirected I see some critics...), and the good weather of late...
Oh well, and there is a Portugal vs. Italy later, and I have a few things to get ready for tomorrow... so off I go, it's getting late :)And this has been one of this days that you work and see nothing done, it seems :P
Hasta luego !
PS - There, for the young fellow who told me to write something, there goes :)

Fuck the World and The Seven Seas...
Ok.. today I am pissed off...
Lets review the last couple weeks... First, parents giving the bullshit, enter stress, then enjoy the full benefits of all of a sudden everyone has computer problems at the ame time, enter the stressed good samaritan, then someone decides I have to find time when there is none, and in the end, I just want to keep some bloody time to me, and I think I'm going to finally relax before the bloody holliday, enter someone asking me the same bloody question some 10 words after he sees me, on something he commiterd ME to do without even bothering to fucking ask !
So yes, if anyone asks, I'm destiling bilis today.
Later :P

And ... he's done it again !!
OK .. I admit... I'm appalled... I think the last time I was so shocked with something happening in the US was (September 11 excluded...) when the president is elected with less than half the votes...
Now I'm in just plain shock... the guy actually had more votes... so we end up with another 4 years of "completely idiotic, president cowboy, who tries to compensate his lack of... brains (hey, what where YOU thinking??) with a bunch of big weapons...
And how does he do it?
Brings the US economy to drag itself as it didn't in years, causes the biggest deficit in US history, kills a ton of americans (and worse, even some people from other countries...) with a bad excuse (Hey, Saddam has chemical weapons, they're just so well hidden that nobody sees them... wonder if Saddam will have invented a invisible spray to put on them next... !!).
So... I admit, I definitely cannot understand americans... I can understand a bunch of them.. but I'm not sure I'll ever understand the way they see politics.
So there goes another term for a guy who placed the US out of every international agreement I can remember (The Kyoto Protocol, the Nuclear non-proliferation treaty, the International War Crimes court - guess they have something to hide, wonder what...), that made the United Nations a Joke (for those who learned History I wonder if something called Society of Nations comes to mind back in the 1930s...).
Personally I think the guy actually is probably the closest thing to a Nazi since World War II except for a few dictator in South America, Suharto and the North Korean Regime... and ok, for the americans to be slightly happier, maybe some Arab regimes...
Funny enough, even from independent or inteligence reports, religious wars in Iraq were't common before them in spite of the Iraqui Curdistan issue...
But that's just a opinion of course...
Another fun thing... Anyone noticed the voting in D.C ? 90% Kerry.. lots of friends Georgie made it seems...
So in retrospect... September 11 was the best thing that happened to one of the greatest idiots in the world...
And since I saw "Manchurian Candidate" yesterday... damn, that would give me some ideas as to the gentleman's (does he understand the word ??) mind if I were into the conspiracy theory...
Oh... let's get the guy who lowers rich people taxes while keeping poor people's taxes rule again.. with some luck he'll launch a few Nukes in the world and we'll be a happy foregone world...
As a brave air-force pilot said in Dr. Strangelove (a movie by Stanley Kubrick...) :
YAAAAAHOOOOOO !!!!! :)

And there I thought...
That it would be Windows XP's Service Pack 2 that would give me trouble ...
But no .. once I took a better look it ws my A4 Tech brand new, Microsoft given on Windows Update site that did it .. I couldn't boot the blasted thing ...
Seems that it activates a service that makes it go "a bit" mad...
Off to the Windows text mode recovery console (always get it installed, very handy ... :) ), disable the service, remove the mouse on Windows, and install the old driver that came on the good old floppy disk :)
Magic.. Who says old things aren't good ? ;) eheh
Service pack 2 on the other hand is working fine so far... just my luck?

A Bananas Republic and other nice stories...
There was a rumor... The Bananas Republic was located somewhere in South America...
I can now confirm this to be a uttere lie! It is located on the Western part of Europe on the so called "Civilised World".
The place is also known as Portugal (or Portuguese Republic") where, starting today, a computorized process was replaced by a manual process (that is chips running software with (lots of) bugs was replaced by a machine of paper running pencils and pens... ! ;)
Objective? Placing teachers on schools for the current school year... Please note that the current school year started last September 16th... ;)
Anyway...
I installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP... so far it still hasn't busted my PC, and it's running fine (except for Norton 2003 wich I still haven't tested well, but the console seems to have stopped appear "by itself").
I'll give notice when I test it decently :)
Google Mail (http://www.gmail.com) on the other hand looks nice.
Nice clean interface, bunch of Space, and for free... pity they still have it on beta state, but it's looking nice :)
Back to the real world now... :)

Boring Weather...
Hi there...
Weather is looking like crap today.. things are slow (wich is not necessarily bad), World is still crazy, and Microsoft still lauched Service Pack 2 wich I still am not installing ... *grin*
People are getting broadband connections, I'm checking how googlemail works, and people still produce documentation (wich is good, if others care to use it... ;) ).
Ah well.. going out soon.. take care :)
