Hello hello,

Pandesmos drifts once again...

el otro d\'\i{}a (ser\'\i{}a como el 27 o 29 de diciembre) DeepSpawn came saying 'i wanna move away of blogger, it is soooo lame. i think i'll probably try out WordPress' and rants like that.

i actually did not pay attention to that that day, since i don't reelly use this thing that much (proved by the very short reel of posts). however, today (rather late yesterday or, anyway, alg\'un d\'\i{}a despu\'es) he came telling that definitely moving away, so i went by cause i had the time, and later was all 'pretty pretty pretty pretty'... currently i am moving out too to blogsome just because it is prettier

Please Consider Upgrading Your Web Site

2005-12-22T22:19:00.000-05:00

Hoy me top\'e con el siguiente sitio. Ciertamente creo que todos nos hemos encontrado con este tipo mensajes en muchos sitios (por ejemplo Nintendo, que se ve horrible en Opera [seriously]), pero en esta ocasi\'on me molest\'o bastante que simplemente se negaran a permitirme cargar la p\'agina.

El caso es que en intentando ver este sitio, termin\'e en el susodicho.

Furthermore, in an unusual surge of indignation (i exaggerate as usual), i decided to mail them as they suggest. So here it goes my reply to their lack of wit.

Subject: Please Consider Upgrading Your Web Site

To fully interoperate with the different browsers on the web today, you'll need a more standard version of your web site.
Please try the following:

Visit the World Wide Web Consortium site here

Validate your site's code

Switch to a different dynamic web page scripting language, such as PHP or Perl

If you continue to have problems, please check the following
support site

Hint: Using JavaScript to disallow browsers different to Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator is not the best way to take advantage of the Web's potencial.

Me pregunto si se molestar\'an mucho por el hecho de ofrecerles como soluciones aquello que no es la soluci\'on en este caso :p... but it was mandatory given their lame solutions.
Now, it wouldn't hurt either if they did that couple of things ;)

breaking the rules

Having posted 'this' much, it is really time to think about the purpose of this blog. It will probably remain a stream of lame incoherent stuff*; however, that should not be an obstacle to at least make it a readable piece of shit.

It is herein stated that the latter will be attempted from now on.
It is specially sought to avoid void posts.
It is encouraged to rant about the (lack of) quality of the posts.
It is unlikely to contain stuff in the form of a diary.
It is recognized and accepted that, at best, it will make a passable reading.

So, by the Rule of three, i shall try to conform to this five guidelines... at the end decided it was worthless to turn this thing into a thematic park.

* by definition... after all, it is all nonesense coming outta my mouth.

another quizzie day

2005-12-12T10:56:00.000-05:00

as posted previously... the online quiz's main objective is to avoid thinking, to avoid oneself on superficiality and egoboosting. a lameass job, but something we all need from time to time

without more preambles, i ran into this site were the would ya been a nazi quiz was (i'd've ran the country and expatriate meself if ya wonder)

must say that hate the site's look but there was a RPG class test so i ended up doing another quizes.

Arcane Trickster
40% Combativeness, 53% Sneakiness, 82% Intellect, 19% Spirituality

Brilliant and sneaky: You are an Arcane Trickster!

Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you've fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you're an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't.

Arcane Tricksters combine arcane magic with rogue skills and sensibilities. They use their magic to confuse their opponents or to augment their more mundane, roguish skills. If you thought it was annoying keeping an eye that that rogue, the Arcane Trickster is probably picking your pocket from the other side of the room.

Both smart and sneaky, you're probably the type of person that loves planning practical jokes... either that or knocking over banks.

Next... we cannot leave the nerdy test aside

Modern, Cool Nerd
65 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 43% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 71% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 87% on geekosity
You scored higher than 74% on dork points

according to this... i am nerd, geek AND dork, and furthermore states that kwel...

Big Bird
You scored 72% Organization, 65% abstract, and 45% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables.

Here is why are you Big Bird.

You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Big Bird is never sloppy and always under control... pretty good for a 6 year old bird living without a family.

You both are abstract thinkers. Big Bird is a dreamer who always wonders what the world is like. You definitely are not afraid to take chances in life. You only live once. You may notice others around you playing it safe, but you are more concerned with not compromising your desires, and getting everything you can out of life. This is a very romantic approach to life, but hopefully you are also grounded enough to get by.

You are both somewhat extroverted. Like Big Bird, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations. Big Bird is always very comfortable around others, but he often prefers the quiet low-key presence that Snuffleupagus provides.

:/ io queria q me saliera el conde contar

if you pass by that site and wanna paste your results at your own site... do it carefully, their code is awful, plus it inserts several 1x1 pixels pictures to google bomb themselves

DRM Rant or "it's not worth it" - part 2

2005-12-01T03:24:00.000-05:00

this post started around two weeks ago...
i even did a little bit of 'research' about the DRM shit so i could attempt a coherent post (para variar)...
but it is not worth it, no one dares to stand me babbling about it... and to be honest = no one cares.
i could actually hurt on the matter, and neither i would care

so, let's leave the matter there: moot&lame
just like yesterday and that other day before that one

On reliability and validity

2005-11-19T15:10:00.000-05:00

<warning type="lameness here" >
Relax cos this ain't a serious post anyway...
</warning>

Sometime ago Deepspawn had showed me the link to this quiz...
today i ran to it thru another way and decided to check on its reliability, taking advantage that i usually do not remember any questions (least the stuff i answered) on a quiz or survey.

So... it appears to be quite reliable, i actually got the very same score than last time:

now, as regards of its validity... i guess the ones who've taken it can say it is quite a nerdy test

if you happen to pass by that site, the tests are pretty funny. and we all know that is the whole point of web quizzes: some mindless numbing on the wired

and since we're at it, here's the result for another quiz

My pirate name is:

Mad Jack Kidd

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

DRM Rant or "People should get upset about things" - part 1

2005-11-10T03:18:00.000-05:00

I guess it is time to publicly rant about this issue.

No es algo nuevo -ni los mecanismos|sistemas de DRM ni mi indignaci\'on ante los mismos-, aunque s\'i{} lo es el principal objetivo (as in target) de este post:

Sony [dares to] rootkit your computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!eleven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preamble:

Some links on the affair

El amarillista

El que (supuestamente) comenz\'o todo (a lil bit tech)

Follow up

A nice briefing

If you ain't in the mood for reading all of them, the recommended ones are: 2, 5 and 6.

argh.... right now me isnt very articulated.... so this will continue.
Por el momento, hoy encontr\'e en este blog algo que ya he comentado (con los mismos tres pelagatos que leer\'an este post :P):

Roger Sperberg:
For my part, for the next year, I will boycott all and any Sony product. I’ll do the same for any publisher that invades my computer in the name of their “rights.”

What about you?

And, well... perhaps i vented my spleen a little here
pero la indignaci\'on debe mantenerse todav\'\i{}a

I do NOT want NOR like dancing pigs

This is a funny rip off

2005-11-10T01:15:00.000-05:00

The following is a funny rip off taken from a /. comment and slightly changed from the one there:

Choose life. Choose blogging. Choose a hosting service. Choose TypePad or WordPress or some other piss you off blogware. Choose to alienate several friends, cow-orkers and other people you think you know. Choose to navel gaze. Choose to anal-yse yourself almost to death. Choose an inane topic and beat it to death with pedantry. Choose to spout off political commentary like someone will actually listen. Choose to sound like you're someone important, just like the other self-important 'me-too!' fuckwads wasting bandwith right along with you. Choose Google Ad Sense so we know you're in it "for love". Choose comment flamewars lasting long into the night. Choose blogspam. Choose wasting your life chasing after that elusive posting that will make you a 'journalist', pissing your hopes and dreams down the drain in an on-line ego trip. Choose your blogspotting. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons.
it's worth noting that i did not request for Soko's permission to reproduce his/her comment here... however i think he/she might appreciate the irony :P

afterall it happens to be some kind of motto here.

so... please, do pass

2005-11-02T01:45:00.000-05:00

Nunca he sentido un verdadero inter\'es por mi cumplea\~nos, aunque la fecha en realidad siempre me ha fascinado: D\'\i{}a de muertos.

Advice: do never get involved with someone on your birthday.
This is so lame, 24 years and that is pretty much everything i've learned in this life.

First Post !!!

2005-10-26T17:22:00.000-05:00

muhaha

Had always wanted to say that. And as pretty much all of /. first posts, a lame one at that.
Anyway, this place might get some use one day but so far I have only decided to actually start it as a way to make sure [censored].

This is NOT a spanish language blog, nor an english language one; therefore, I expect no complains on that.

Grammar Nazis, be welcome.

No siendo m\'as, me despido hasta el d\'\i{}a en que decida escribir algo.

PS. Unless, for some strange reason, I post from a computer different to Navi, all diacritic signs shall be written using LaTeX syntax.
