Trying to be frugal

I'm trying to be frugal. Today I was tempted again to buy a tablet, but I didn't. I feel very good about that because may be in the past I wouldn't be writing this post.

I'm trying to change my mentality. I've been always telling to me that I need X to be more productive... that was a very big lie. The truth is that I have the tools to create the things I want to do, so I'm focusing on make a more productive use of that tools.

I can write code with my current laptop, I can read with it and I can print some information if I need it (and it's safer because it's not lucrative to steal some papers instead of a tablet).

So. I'm changing my mindset. I'm focusing on doing, reading, writing, code and learning.

Enjoying a beer

I'm enjoying a beer at my home. A Carlsberg, it's very soft and tasty, ideal for a peaceful day.

I like it!!!

Chile has very good beers too!!! Kunstmann, Austral and Kross. If you come to Chile I would recommend you give them a try ;-)

Kunstmann Beer

Kross Beer

Austral Beer

May be you have those beers in your local market. If that's true then next Monday drink one and support us in the game against Netherlands!!! We wanna win the group, and... why not? The world cup!!! Cheers!!

My first girlfriend's day job

Today. It's my first girlfriend's day job. I was worried about she couldn't find a job. But I'm happy now. I happy because I wouldn't like that my girlfriend would become a housewife. It's not her style. She's a very active and responsible person. And She's losing at home.

So. I'm very happy now. :-).

I don't know what to write

I don't care about blog advise that blogging about not blogging sucks. I don't know what to write now, and I don't care.

The pleasure of writing is very healthy, because it's orders your thoughts and helps to inspire ideas. And I have a very good idea now. Take a Shower and sleep because and I didn't sleep well lately.

Thinking of a project

I want to do a project. I don't know what kind of project, but I would like to do something by my own.

I have some ideas, by example, a Web Based IDE, a Framework of something, some kind of killer app. But I need some boost.

I'm installing the tools first, I never care if they're not the correct tools. I want to take a road and see what happens. I think that real life is something like that. You only take ways, and try to get to some place, but along the way you can find more interesting things.

Anger Management

I have some Anger Management problems that I must correct soon or I' m gonna get fired. It's very hard, but I want to learn how to manage it.

I'm a very passionate person about my things, my ideas, my thoughts and my feelings. And that's very good, but sometimes I'm overstepping the mark, and that's not good for people who have to work with me.

So. That's a mea culpa. I will be calmer and more patient.

El hacer nada...

No, no soy promotor de Limon Soda ni nada por el estilo. Aunque si me regalan el premio del Rey por un Año no me enojo.

El tema va por acá en otro sentido.

Es importante no hacer nada. No solo cuando uno termina algo, sino también cada cierto tiempo cuando uno está haciendo las cosas. Cuando uno siempre está corriendo, es dificil detenerse y darse cuenta de que hay una tienda o alguién más tiene lo que uno ya necesita. O simplemente está ahí mismo, pero uno va tan rápido que no lo ve.

El detenerse a leer, a analizar, a estudiar me ha ayudado muchas veces a simplificar lo que hago cotidianamente para hacerlo cada vez de forma más óptima. Y el no hacer nada, ayuda a que mi cerebro tenga oxigeno y pueda reestructurarse a los nuevos requerimientos de la vida y el trabajo.

Asi que, cada vez que no tengan nada que hacer, aprovechen el momento, relajense o vean otra cosa que no esté relacionado con lo que hacen comunmente. Es increible como se refresca la mente y salen ideas que los pueden sorprender.

Tecno criollo está flojo

Si. Estoy muy flojo, y no es falta de tiempo. Es sinceramente flojera, ocio.

Me carga cuando la gente dice 'no tengo tiempo', porque se que es mentira.

Increiblemente siempre el tipo que dice 'no tengo tiempo' es el mismo que dice 'no tengo plata'.

Y más increíble es el hecho de que ese mismo personaje es el que dice 'no sé', 'no es mi responsabilidad', 'no es mi problema', 'no lo hago gratis', 'nadie me paga por ello', 'nadie me lo dijo'.

Justo coincide también que es la persona que estudia solo por el simple hecho de tener un titulo, y obtener mejores ingresos. Pero no porque realmente le guste, le interese y mucho menos emocionar.

Es el típico personaje que en vez de ver la oportunidad, ve el riesgo, el miedo, la perdida de la falsa seguridad.

Creo que últimamente he tenido de ese personaje. Es increiblemente como nos absorbe la máquina.

Pero como dicen, hay que darle no más y ponerle todo el empeño del mundo.

Reflexión sobre Linux y Microsoft

Linux es la escuela, Microsoft es la empresa
Linux es experimento, Microsoft es ejecución sin riesgos
Linux trabaja por amor al arte, Microsoft te da la plata
Linux fue la polola de la U, Microsoft es la señora de la pega
... Pero Linux es la amante que le chupa toda la plata a Microsoft. :-P
