Would just like to wish everyone a wonderful 2010, and may you achieve all your dreams, both personally and professional.
Just an unsolicited piece of advice, never ever forget the power of optimism. It can make your dreams come true and turn dust into gold. I will try to remind myself of my own advise every time I start whining and complainung about the current state of things.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I must say its amazing the amount of work one can get done when getting out of our “normal” environment. It just confirms one of the things that I have always felt, that excessive routine is an enemy to productivity, and I am not even going to mention its detrimental effects on creative thinking.
Friday I was beta testing one of our most recent projects and was going through a lot of “nasty code” and out of ideas. It was a beautiful day outside, so I just packed my laptop, and went for a drive. Needless to say that I didn’t get a lot of work done during my little stream in nature, but when I got back I was so relaxed that I got through every pending task that I wasn’t being able to get done before.
I never understood why Steve Jobs got so much bad press, and after stumbling across is famous commencement speech at Standaford my respect for the Man was reinforced, truly inspiring.
Would like to wish all of you a wonderful 2009 filled with new projects and adventures, but above all, I wish that all of us learn to enjoy life more this year, after all, Life is a blink..
Just came across a very interesting video about how the Obama campaign Logo design process was carried out.
Thanks to this website I found a handy script for those of you that absolutely find it absurd that there are still people using IE6 and older versions of the crappy browser.
Ok guys, I’m back a little sooner then expected.
One of the things that really stood out from my first tests is the stability issue of
Chrome’s. Not only is it pretty had to crash, but when it does, the entire browser never crashes, only the tabs that created the problem/conflict. This happens because the system was engineered in such a way that each tab holds its own environment, completely independent from each other, which means that one tab will supposedly never mess up what you are doing in another tab.
I tried crashing the browser by throwing at it some pretty funky Javascript challenges and all I managed to do was to block a single tab that in fact did not affect the other tabs to a full extent, which means that although it did not affect the stability of the other tabs, I felt that somehow it slightly affected the level of performance of the unaffected tabs.
Also, the Browsers seems to have some difficulty handling webpages that embed and call a lot of external code, even through Javascript. This isn’t a new limitation since Firefox has the same problem.
Will continue to test things out and keep you posted.

A dear friend of mine just told me that Randy Pausch passed passed away today.
I was overcome with sadness when I heard the news, of course that it was unexpected but judging from the spirit of that Man one always had a tiny bit of hope that somehow he could make it.
Bellow is that famous last lecture by Randy Pausch.
As you might have noticed I reverted my blog to the standard wordpress Design.
The reason I did this is because I am working on a new design that will hopefully be launched sometime next week.
Just finished watching the first episode of Top Affiliate Challenge.
I must say I was a bit disapointed with the production side of things, but if they manage to improve on this area the show can be really great.
Was also a bit surprised to see everyone having their say in the “team room”, and then see John Cow was completely “skiped”. What was that all about? It was pretty much the only person in that particuylar group that I was looking foward to listening.
A lot of acting going on too, and I feel that If people acted more naturally, and stopped trying to be someone else for the camreas the show would have a different flow.
But all and all, exciting beggining and I wont be missing the next episodes.

Oh the sweet taste of freedom, the idea that you can sit and relax and let your inner most creative ideas take over and create something beautiful, what could be better right?
You are the professional, I’ll leave the creative choices to you
Yeah Right.
I tell you what, here is what they are really saying is:
I am too damn lazy to brief you on what I really want, so taking into considerationt he fact that I am paying you, who knows, you might have extraterrestrial telepathic abilities and use them to find out what I want.
Oh oh and of course don’t worry, if you don’t get things right, you can always start again from scratch, but hurry up, as you have some time to gain considering you just wasted my precious time with your..crazy insane ALIEN ideas!
.
For god’s sake!!!!
There is no such thing as total create freedom, PERIOD!
Either you know what you want or you don’t. If you don’t know what you want that’s fine, let’s try and figure that out before I/we commit time to create something out of thin air.
Now that that’s out of my system! Hi guys, great to be posting again!
This is something that has been bugging me for quite some time.
Over and over again I see stories reaching Diggs home page that simply redirect to a 404 Page or a “bandwidth quota exceeded” message.
Hosting isn’t that expensive you know? As a matter of fact it’s much harder to make it on digg’s homepage then it is to get a reliable Hosting service at a low price.
Traffic is Money!!
At least for some of us. If you’ve made Digg’s homepage, and couldn’t care less about the traffic, or just can’t be bothered to pay 10 bucks for a decent hosting account, please don’t hesitate to contact me, I’ll gladly provide you with proper hosting facilities that will accommodate your content and my ads.

That’s right boys and girls, Zinc is toxic, it’s not one of those wussy supplements that people like myself take on a daily basis. *Not disputing my manhood of course… Man can take dietary supplements..right? *cough* let’s move on shall we?
I need to take a zinc supplement for a deficiency that caused by my Thyroid problem, so today having gotten up a bit later then usual I didn’t have time to take my breakfast, so seeing as I had to take supplements, what the hell!
NOT very smart! 30 minutes later it was as if I was taken by the black plague and there was nothing that could help me! nausea, Diarrhea, awful abdominal pain, dizziness, short black out periods (although that is not that unusual to me! ), shortness of breath, among other lovely symptoms! So it seems that Zinc is so toxic, that when you take it with an empty stomach the toxicity sticks to your stomach’s walls, had taken a higher dose I would be officially poisoned.
