2 comments| so, how was the gig?! 04.11.2004 |
| Well, when I finished the gig I felt very bad, I felt like the worst gig ever. The gig before was nice, Nork put some nice music as usual and Acidbeat did his first gig with great stuff, actually he motivated me to keep improving my gigs as since now I was basicly alone in Spain.. everybody using resolume, 0synch, doh! Now the vjfield is starting to be more interesting as threepixels and some other oldsceners are starting on it and that means custom tools custom visuals and very different stuff (resolume guys does always the same stuff and that's so boring). So, as I said this time I tried to make new visual stuff and do new vjset, I was always using basicly the same stuff (some new effects for each gig) but the same avalon, requiem for a dream and sworfish videos ;) So, I did them and don't know why I decided to don't add to the gig the old stuff. Then when Nork&Acidbeat finished Shine start the djset so fast, I had no time to put my machine and configure the thing so I started the gig late (bad!) then, doing the gig I did a lot of mistakes, the tool didn't work very well sometimes and also I needed my old stuff but that was too late. That gig was more or least prepared, Shine was sending me the stuff weeks before and in to hear the musics, but my little friend put some new musics and did some mistakes as well, so was a bit weird. Anyway, here is a video with some parts of the firsts two gigs. And actually, mine had some nice parts with some nice effects with the music, so the gig was not bad at all! :) But, to be honest, after see those ones makes more impressive the one of Euskal :') At bcnparty there was another gig with an oldscener (coder of 2ndfloor) where was doing some nice synch with 3dstuff, the visuals was so ugly, but the synch/tech and all that was awesome! So, After bcnparty I'm motivated again to do more vjstuff, perhaps with G*R*E*A*T new tech features soon :)~ |

| my last gig.. 27.10.2004 |
| For whom don't know, I'm going to do once again a vjset at bcnparty, (but this time is in the program). Last year I was very excited about that vjset movement. We started just doing a very preview vjset newlife'03 with two projectors and a lot of experimentation with a very first version of the tool. The night was great and we always wanted to redo it again (i just ask to some people to redo it this year again but nobody seems very motivated to work for it, what a shame..) Then, with more stuff I wanted to do a sourprise gig at ifparty'03, but then the same weekend we had all the destructive conversations at threepixels and I decided to don't do the gig as I was really pissed off (so sorry sole!). After that I bought the tickets to move to London but I wanted to leave with some stuff done and a website with the new crew and some test of the stuff for ifparty'03 was released. Then I just forget about for a while, and some months later, at bcnparty'03, I was working with spontz guys when tolemac told me to do this time the gig that I wanted to do for ifparty as Nork was doing a djset without visuals, was too fast but was great (thanks tole!). The next year (2004) I did some more vjsets in some other parties and other events, some of them was great, some of them was normal, I did some new stuff in each gig but I always finish putting the same stuff and that piss me also. Now, for bcnparty'04 I wanted to do a completelly new vjset with new stuff, I think I won't have it ready properly but I'll do my best. The neon tool is improving very slowly, like 1 new feature (practical) every year, mac lost the motivation for demoscene but lost it as well for vjscene. And that means, a different tool with some good points but unfinished. Perhaps I'm used to the demoscene fact that not only the visual stuff improves, also the technical stuff improves and I'm starting to be a bit bored/tired of all that. Perhaps sole will do some improvements to the tool, but that sounds like a hardwork, anyway, I think that means that this vjset for bcnparty'04 will be the last one of that first period, let's see when the second period starts. |

| everything is out! 07.10.2004 |
| The week of the releases! After going the las weekend to Spain to do two vjgigs (one of the festival was evicted so I had to do only the one for roterfleck) and have a nice time walking by the best barcelona corners, on monday we finally released xplsv.tv. That was a project in background since a lot of months, but Sole and I did a hard work the last two months for it (Kudos to sole as she did all the hardcode by scratch). So, the website is there, running and the community is growing. I hope the best for it and I'll do my best to add all the features the community will need. And that's enough by me, but on tuesday I received the new Becanne issue. If you understand spanish, take a lot to it. |

| eternal sunshine of the spotless mind 26.09.2004 |
| New post with the new Michel Gondry shocking movie. I saw Michel Gondry works when Director-file released the DVD with all the musicvideos work of him as they did with Chris Cunningham and Spike Jonze as well. I usually go to princecharles cinema (london) to watch some "cult" movies, I really hate the ODEON ones, so I prefer that cinema where they use to have diferent movies. I was looking since months ago that movie in their list and last friday I decided to watch it. I have no problems with Jim Carrey like a lot of friends of mine that usually say.. "uhmm.. Jim Carrey, I don't like those kind of movies". I saw Man on the moon years ago and I realized that Jim Carrey could do great jobs.. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is the last movie directed by Michel Gondry and written by Charlie Kaufman with Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst.. A lot of great names in a great movie. I was very very happy and shocked after the movie, great and new ideas, great camera works and effects and, as each movie of Charlie Kaufman, have a awesome script. Two days later I'm still thinking about the movie and trying to watch it again however ;) So, try to give it a look. If you like it you will love this site ;). |

| rodrigo tiene la culpa! 15.09.2004 |
| Me he comprado la revista radeon 9600 donde se pueden ver especiales partidas de petanca. Pude ver una partida donde un grupo Griego saludaba a mi anterior grupo en sus mejores lanzamientos y uno de esos lanzamientos que se quedan en la historia de la petanca. Me apena muchisimo, hace unos meses otro grupo famoso americano tambien saludo a nuestro grupo en sus lanzamientos. Mas que apenarme me da mucha rabia ya que si nos saludan no es precisamente gracias a Rodrigo que fue quien desmonto el grupo y encima lo abandono como ya he mencionado unos posts mas abajo. Desmontando asi un grupo respetado en el mundo de la petanca como podemos ver con estas ultimas partidas. Rodrigo tiene la culpa! Y por si fuera poco, Rodrigo sigue haciendo de las suyas. |

| bcnparty'100 14.09.2004 |
| Yes dude! bcnparty'100 website was launched some weeks ago. As you can see, the topic of this year is kind of scary/mental people status. Honestly I don´t feel fine saying to the people that the underground movement where i´m contributing turns you mental.. weird idea anyway. As you probably know, I was involved in bcnparty organizacion the first three years, the fourth year I decided to leave the organization as I moved to London and was not an easy thing to do, basicly I had no time to lose. After the moving and stablished in London I sent an email to the organization again, saying that I was ready to help again, doing a lot of possible tasks. They didn't answer me. Some months later I asked why they didn't answer me, they said that they had enough help in all the fields where I offered my help. It's really a shame, until this year, the website was always up-to-date in the stateoftheart way. And never had those level of typos in all the languages. Some demoscener friends told me that they weren't really motivated to attend the party this year because the website feelings, not only the design, also the way of organize and do the things.. Anyway, I still want to support the party and improve it, but probably, the only that they will let me do is participate and perhaps do again a gig with nork or shine as the people seems to like it. :'( |

| La petanca 04.09.2004 |
| La petanca es un juego que tiene bastantes años. Pese a su simplez, resulta bastante adictivo ya que no es solo el juego sino la socializacion con otras personas, pasar el tiempo de una manera entretenida y buscar siempre la perfecion en el juego. Es sobre el tema de la socialización a lo que voy. En la petanca llevo bastante tiempo, haciendo mis juegos, innovando mi tecnica. Yendo a competiciones incluso internacionales. Y hasta ahi todo correcto. Fue entonces cuando conoci a Rodrigo. Rodrigo era un chico muy abierto, se llevaba bien con todos los jugadores, siempre quedaba muy bien, pero tuvo cierto interes en conocerme más y llevar nuestra relación fuera de la petanca. Yo soy un chico algo cerrado y no suelo dejar que me conozcan bien. Pero en este caso puesto que Rodrigo parecia un chico de confianza lo hice. A parte de esto, todo iba bien, conoci a otros jugadores e hicimos un equipo majo de competición en el cual estaba Rodrigo. Despues de haber estado en varios equipos, este era bastante decente. Todos eran buenos jugadores y ganabamos bastantes competiciones. Aparte del equipo, con Rodrigo habiamos organizado unos cuantas competiciones internacionales consiguiendo muy buenos resultados en cuanto a calidad del evento/competición. Fue entonces cuando el encargado de funcionamiento propuso crear nuevos sistemas para llevar la organizacion de los partidos, algo que a mi me fascino y que nos hacia ir por delante de los demas. Pero aquí es cuando entró Rodrigo diciendo, que ese no era el espíritu de la petanca, y que no debiamos hacer eso. Rodrigo me sorprendió, se puso muy pesado y se puso en contra de esos sistemas. De alguna manera fomento malas vibraciones en el equipo. Poco a poco fui viendo que no era solo en la petanca, fuera de la petanca Rodrigo se volvia insoportable. Y no era solo yo, muchos amigos mutuos me comentaban problemas que Rodrigo creaba ultimamente. Y asi estuvo la situacion hasta que de alguna manera, Rodrigo se volvio tan insoportable que me tuve que apartar de el fuese como fuese, me desmoralizaba, me frustraba, y mis ambiciones de perfecionar mi tecnica en la petanca iban a menos. Puesto que habia puesto a casi todo el equipo de petanca en mi contra, decidi dejar el equipo de petanca. Fue entonces cuando decidi mudarme a Londres por motivos de nuevos horizontes laborales. Mudarme sin conocer a nadie, a la aventura, a ver que ocurria. Algo bastante importante para lo que necesitas estar bastante seguro de ti mismo y tener las ideas claras. Pero Rodrigo seguia ahi, poniendo problemas por todos lados. Con el no podia conseguir tener las ideas claras para poder lanzarme a la aventura, asi que opté por decirle cosas fuertes a ver si conseguia quitarmelo de encima y olvidarme de él. Con esto no solo conseguí un odio infinito hacia mi, sino que mis amigos me iban haciendo llegar mensajes de Rodrigo, indirectas, indirectas y más indirectas. Ya en el equipo, mientras el formaba parte de otros equipos y me hacia pequeños ataques, pero no pense que acabara en tanto. Cada movimiento que hacia en el mundo de la petanca era observado, y Rodrigo al ser el principal organizador de la competición de petanca, me quitó de la organización por motivos simplemente personales, diciendo que yo daba mala imagen en el mundo de la petanca. Poco despues Rodrigo cambió de equipo de petanca y eso fue algo bastante duro, despues de haber destruido un equipo con futuro, se fue a otro sin más. Rodrigo cada vez iba a peor, seguian las indirectas y los ataques. Y por mucho que yo intentara arreglar las cosas, Rodrigo seguia igual. Despues de conseguir hablar con el, consegui hacerle a la idea de hablar en una competición en la que ibamos a coincidir. Poco antes de la competición, me enteré sin querer que seguia con su tradición de criticarme y atacarme por la espalda, lo cual me quitó todo interés de intentar arreglar las cosas. A dia de hoy, Rodrigo sigue igual de insoportable y cada vez va perdiendo más amigos. Es una pena. Independientemente de eso, yo sigo en la petanca! :D |
