yes, I did it again :( this time the guilty is half life 2

I'm trying to rent a new flat on notting hill, being a bit away because that. Seems to be a bit hard, a lot of papers, signatures, and of course, a lot of MONEY!

Looking forward to move on there this weekend, to contract internet for it... and.. play Half Life 2!! of course! ;)

Now you can check and comment my old posts on this blog.

As you know, I'm trying to rent a flat latelly and I'm doing that with a estate agency. After watch some flats, sing some papers and all that you have to do a transfer to the estate agency account. So today I had to went to the bank and do the transfer. I just forgot my passport at home and I was very pissed off for that, but I tried it anyway. So I went to the bank and I did a (big and chap(one day)) transfer to another account. I show to them my debit card, my statements and they never ask me for my passport or any ID. So, you know, get the debit card and the statements from somebody and do that transfer to you account ;)

At bcnparty'100 I decided to buy a gp32, there was an stand there where you could buy a lot of stuff for it so I eventually got one.

I was so happy to have it, with one you can play mp3, ogg, mods (mod, xm, it), use emulators (mega drive, super nintendo, amstrad...) play some ported games (doom, quake,..) and whatever you want. That's a fresources platform, there is not a company like nintendo or sega behind, you can develop your own tools for it, you got everything that you need for it and a lot of libraries ported as well.

Sounds great uh? sounds as great as I tried to code things for it as well, with some Sole's help I installed an already configured setup, I did the very first program, with the typical bouncing pixel, also I did an spiral and those sort of things (with SDL library), then I understood how .lib's and .h's works. And all that. Perhaps the problem was to try to use SDL, perhaps the freedev configured wasn't properly configured, but I wasn't able to make the gp32 play a mod or so. I was dissapointed with all that. So I'll forget about to do something in C or C++, let's focus in one field please!! ;)

But well, perhaps I'll try once again with another IDE and without SDL or something.

Since June of this year I have been living in a shitty house sharing with an excentric(painter/artist like) old woman on northwest london. The house is really unconfortable, no facilities to clean the cloth, no facilities to cook and also there is no shower, just a bath (this is the worst point for me). Also, since September I share my life with another person and that means that the rooms becomes more small and the house as well. So, since some months we started to look an studio only for us (also because we had enough money).

So, finally yesterday we had our first foxtons tour arround notting hill. People says that estate agencies sucks, but honestly I quite liked the fact of being drived arround the zone and to the studio in a posh mini. The studio was not bad, but we should take a look to other ones. After that we decided to move to regent street to take a look to the new Mac Store that they opened the last Saturday. So, we arraived to Oxford circus and was then when I see all the zone with christmas lights and decorations, all oxford street have big focus proyecting lights on the clouds. I was seeing that the last week, a lot of lights moving on the clouds (just a way to use the PERMANENT clouds that we got on here) and was like a loot of people calling for Batman or so, looks like gotham city or the city of Akira... The store was cool and posh as well, a lot of macs an ipods to play/test with, also you could use internet for free and there was lectures about using mac and photoshop on there. The shop was quite cool as well. Then we decided to move to leicester square to see if we could watch the movie "the incredibles" (perhaps because regent street christmas decoration influence) an then we were buy two tickets at empire cinema for the incredibles. I never was in that cinema, actually I already been there but in a smaller screen. The incredibles was at Screen 1, and wow! what a BIG cinema! To finish the evening we only had to watch The Incredibles.. I got no enough words to speak about the movie, better piece done by pixar imho! I enjoyed every second of the movie in all the aspects.. :O!

si si si, muy interesante este articulo. Must read que se diria por aqui ;)

The only I'm wondering about is if bcnparty'101 will be organized or not :)

"tve prepara un programa de telerrealidad para cambiar la vida de los españoles"

D'oh! ese programa lo llevan haciendo en UK desde hace 2 años, cogen por ejemplo a un diseñador web y lo ponen de surfero y a un surfero lo ponen de diseñador web. Y muestran como responden en cada situación. Super interesante, eh?

Ale! a comer mas basura! :)
