The black hole…
...my black hole...
I hate stupid software. I really hate it. Specially stupid software that doesn’t have a rollback mechanism for their faults. Installed Papers demo version to try to manage papers. The application seems interesting and is not too expensive. I really thought on buying it. But now I do not intend to. During first use, Papers […]
Was trying to create the typical button to “remove frames” from a site, opening the main iframe content in the full window. While it was easy to make the iframe content to change with a simple HTML link and a target property, it is not easy to make the “remove frames” button to work. I […]
Forza Motorsport 3 has some good simulation decisions, which makes more difficult to handle cars than in other games, like Need For Speed.

The House Bunny is just another comedy with dreams coming true, everything working out, and a pink end. The story is too old, there is are no news on the way the story is told. So, is this movie worth seeing? Hey, why not? You can smile (well, after all it is a comedy) and […]
