Comming soon

Hi all.
Sorry for not posting.
Bought a domain, working on a hosting place.
I'll put it up soon :)
Besides that, all normal.

Darn hair

Well, not much. Seems like my hair is growing. Both on my head and my face.
The matches might be the result of too much time to spare, and a specific mood.
The pool is in Southbank, and the lizard seemed to be enjoying a nice bath, and posed, so i snapped some pics.
The last one is just to show that I do shave from time to time :)





By the way, no one gave me any feedback about the site preview, so i'll guess nobody liked it, read it, or both ?

Coming soon

Not much to tell.
Days pass by, exercising, reading conan comics, finished reading a css, html & xhtml book, so I decided to write yet another homepage for myself.
I'm done with the design, just need to find a domain. Basically, it's impossible, since all the possibly good names have been long snatched. There's even a site that basically bought almost all 4 letter combinations, and now sells them for some 900$.
So, I hope to find a good name soon, and upload the site. If you have any ideas, suggestions, a domain you want to donate, feel free to contact me :) .
I could also use a bit of help with some icons, if someone feels like it.
Thats all for today.

On another note, I watched "step up 2". Now, before you crucify me and stop talking to me, I admit the plot is soooo cheezee that cheetos could take some lessons from there, but damn, they have some nice moves :)

Flash from the past

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:

1. They replicate quickly - OK, Windows does that.

2. Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - OK, Windows does that.

3. Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - OK, Windows does that too.

4. Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. - Sigh...Windows does that, too.

5. Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. - Yup, Windows does that, too.

Until now it seems Windows is a virus, but there are some fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.

So Windows is not a virus.
It's a bug.

He he he ... Got reminded of this, and had to find it and share it.

8 Days later

"Studies have shown the health benefits of running to be tremendous, reducing your chances of everything from the common cold to cancer."

Ground Zero
Thursday night. All is quiet, dark and cold. Running seemed like a good idea to boost health, have some aerobic exercise and build up cardio resistance.

Day One
Subject reports some difficulties in the daily push ups routines.
Back of the throat feels funny.

Day Two
Subject is feeling sick, reports aching throat, headaches, and strives to limit movement to the minimum.

Day Three
After a good nights' sleep, subject feels better, and thinks he is out of danger. The throat feels better, and no signs of the annoying mucus associated with flu are present. Little does he know what the future holds in store for him.

Day Four
The day meets our subject with a cloudy overcast, and even though he feels fine at the beginning, by the end of the day, the throat gives the yucky feelings again, and the head is playing the "please don't move" tricks again.

Day five
Throat aches. Headaches. Muscles aching. Subject kept waking during the night because of it, finding difficulties to go back to sleep. In addition, the running nose rears its ugly head. White, watery, persistent, and nothing you can do about.

Day Six
Night has been hellish again. Subject was unable to rest, since the combination of throat ache and running nose which needs to be blown every couple of minutes deprived him of luxury of sleeping.
The day passes slowly, full of aches, but during the day, the running nose turns from the watery to the more common consistency which at least doesn't drip on your clothes and needs to be blown every minute.

Day Seven
Worst night so far. Subject woke several times, including a bathroom break, and wasn't able to fall asleep again, lying in the dark, moaning and suffering instead. Subject claims that in the brief sleeping periods, bad dreams induced by (possibly) fever made the experience exhausting instead of invigorating.
During the day, keeping warm and staying in bed seemed to help. Subject recall having a couple of snoozes which helped him to go through the day.

Day Eight
Finally a good night sleep.
Subjects report throat ache subside. Nose is still running, and head feels a bit blocked. Even though the subject is still not back to normal, he's much better and happy to be over the worst.

---

On another note
Subject reports watching "I am Legend", and enjoying it pretty much.

Late update

Well ... Had a busy week, so the blog was left aside.
But here I am, updating once more.
Last week I started learning the job @ the bar. Must admit it's not as easy as it might seem. They have some 80 imported beers, plus the local ones, and all the other drinks, and just knowing where to find each and how much it costs can contribute to a nice headache :)
On the weekend, I was in a salsa camp, something like the salsa festivals back home. 3 days in a nice place (even though a bit Christian oriented). They fed us quite good, and frequent, and they had plenty of workshops.
Some of the workshops disappointed me, some surprised me.
One of them was a guy named Alex(?). Big celebrity here, since he appeared on some dancing TV shows. Anyways, he said something at the start of his workshop, which is what I always told to my students, that a good dance is not about the number of fancy moves you can do, but it's more about the connection with the partner and the music.
What else ... well, here's a picture from Saturday's night. It's me balancing on a pole with 1 leg, so this takes care of posting some pics :)
I've also uploaded 2 more videos to youtube, one is my goodbye circle, and the other a social dance from coffs harbor.
Hmmm ... I think that's about it for this one.
Thanks for all of you who sent me a happy passover mail/comment, hope you had a nice holiday :)
