Feliz Cumpleaños Sulky!!

hmmm... same nose, same ears...

The Police, Outlandous damour, is that spelled right?
I don't have it anymore, don't know what happened to it... I'll blame my little brother, he used to play it more than me.

YES!! Aftershock!! that's the word.
Yup, aftershocks are way scarier than the earthquake itself.
My first reaction is not running, I just look up to see what might fall on my head. Then I run!!

It wasn't that small after all, just read it was 6.2 Richter, but like 300 kms away from here, but nothing serious happened. We had a smaller one an hour later. We were just talking about what to do in case of a big one with my boss, and we agreed this is just like when you get on an airplane, there...

humm.... I once had a similiar problem with a webserver (Iplanet), users couldn't keep a session until I changed some dark and hidden parameter on the server configuration (something related to closin the session when the browser was closed). It can be our ISP's proxy servers also.

Feliz Cumpleaños Taz!

Idle, what about the Inca roads? you mean Nazca?? I truly believe that all those "mysteries", Nazca, moais at Easter Island, the pyramids, etc, etc, were made by men. I've always felt fascinated by the things that humanity can acomplish, I'd actually felt very dissapointed if I knew for c...

thanks smm, we're having quite a cold and dark day here, and the sun goes out at 6pm ... but IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!

There are a lot of ufo sightings here in Chile, mostly around the Atacama Desert. I've seen myself a couple of times some strange lights at night (sober I mean), but to be honest I don't care if they were ufos or not. I saw this astrononomy documentary a while ago, there are a lot of observatories i...

Shame about the smog, are there any measures being taken to reduce the polution? We have all sorts of measures, including the restriction of vehicles circulation on critical days and yet it's not enough, but I have to admit it's not as bad as 15 years ago. The problem is that Santiago is surrounded...

It wasn't that cold actually, probably like 0°C, which was quite tolerable. I was there with my cuban buddy who had never seen snow before, so it was quite exciting for him. Sadly you have to leave Santiago to find spots like that, on a usual winter day you can't even see the mountains because of th...

Well, the guy on the pic below would be me (THANKS TAZ!!!) TEN REASONS WHY I LIKE LIVING IN CHILE 1 to 10: Cordillera de los Andes http://www.elviscostellofans.com/pictures/idle_17062003.jpg This was taken yesterday at a place called Cajón del Maipo, like an hour ago from Santiago. The impressive mo...

I just started today Ian McEwan's The Cement Garden
and also bought yesterday Joyce's Dubliners

How long did it take? I've been reading that for months and I'm not past page 100... some other books got in the way, like Jorge Luis Borges complete works Vols I II and III. Books are soo cheap in Buenos Aires.

I agree with cpunk choices on FB.
I'd definitely go in this order:
Teenager, Frank Black, Black Letter Days, Dog in the Sand, Devil's Workshop, Pistolero.

aawww, that won't probably be broadcasted around here, but I'll surely find it with a diehard fan who sells his stuff at the local flea market... On the other hand, I'm happy to hear he finally signed a deal with Sanctuary and he's finally recording after like 40 years. http://www.billboard.com/bb/d...

oh, I could go on all day about the songs I get to hear at work, but I have to admit it's kind of fun when Debbie Gibson shows up, as it is right now. Can't remember the name of the song tho.

I'm at work right now, so that means I'm listening to the corporate radio. Any speakers on our pc's or headphones are prohibited in here... thankfully they haven´t played any Phil Collins today, so it's been a great productive :roll: morning. The worst thing about this is that there are speakers eve...

gracias taz! I was really suprised to receive that email soo soon.
