0 I’m a machine!

March 5th, 2010

I’ve been working a lot lately, this week’s RescueTime stats above can prove it.

RescueTime is a service that monitors your activity on your computer, and logs it in different categories (email, web, programming, graphic design…).
You need to set what categories are productive to you (going to YouTube is not productive for me, but it probably is for someone who uploads videos). Ratings are from -2 (not productive) to 2 (very productive).

0 I bet the new TSA rules will hurt tourism in the US…

January 3rd, 2010

I just tuned on CNN, and they’re talking about the new TSA rules for people flying to the USA. Since I’ve heard about those rules, I’m more reluctant to take the plane to the US ’cause it’s becoming more and more painful to enter the country.

These new rules are going too far and I’m sure I’m not the only one who will seriously reconsider taking the plane to the US, and I bet this is going to hurt tourism.

Protect yourself too much from others and you’ll get isolated…

0 WTF happened to computer monitors?!

October 20th, 2009

My monitor broke 2 weeks ago. That’s not such a big issue because I own a laptop. However, I’d appreciate to have more pixels… So I’ve started to take a look at what manufacturers have to offer. So far it is EXTREMELY disappointing.

October 14th, 2009

2 weeks ago, I got a new MacBook Pro. It’s a beast: 2.8GHz, 8GB of RAM, and the lethal weapon, a 256 GB SSD hard drive.

0 A quick thought on my ringtone

October 13th, 2009

I’ve created my default ringtone a while ago, with the intro of Mutt by Blink-182. It’s catchy and fits well as a ringtone.

The thing is, I listen to that song quite often… and everytime it starts, I get that weird feeling where for half a second I think my phone’s ringing…

I wonder if I’ll ever get a call at the exact same time the song starts playing… probably not.

0 Remember the first day you used Twitter?

August 26th, 2009

I created my Twitter account 2 years ago today, and a lot happened since. I remember I was wondering what kind of value Twitter would bring to me… I thought it wasn’t useful ’cause none of my friends were on it, they barely were on Facebook.
