The black hole…
After years of iPods, generations and more generations (are we in the fifth or in the sixth?), about four kinds of iPod (touch, classic, nano, shuffle), iPods with phones, iPods with cameras, and Apple is not able to deliver a basic and simple functionality: delete a song. Normally I do not hear music in my […]
At the present moment in my free time (that is going to be all day if I do not find a job in the next days) I am developing, together with Smash, another wiki in Perl,named Quiki. Quiki is being developed with DokuWiki in mind. The main idea is to have a small base of […]
Yes, I normally pass a long time without seeing a movie, but when I start it takes some time to end. Hehehe. Kidding. This time it was Max Payne. You know, I played to some of the Max Payne games and I liked them. Not because it was just another first person shooter, but because […]

But I would never buy/listen to Within Temptation if it wasn’t the coincidence of watching the Black Symphony concerto on a TV Store. I […]
And as a coincidence, Blizzard just announced the forth character for Diablo III. It is a monk and it seems tough.
Yes, I know that Diablo II has about 9 years of life. Nevertheless Diablo III is taking too much time and I needed some interesting game for vacations. In previous games I finished Diablo II Lord of Destruction only with the Assassin character. This year it was the time to finish it up with Druid. […]
