The guys who organized the 6th International Computer Systems Congress did a great job, I only missed one conference, and I loved each and every one of the talks. People comes here to show us what we will be seeing happening in the future, all the projects that they have, and all the interesting fields that are out there for us to explore. It´s not only about geeks trying to program databases, it´s about shaping the reality, about becoming technical artists, working on 3D feature films and video games, about being passionate in life and wanting more than a mere secure cubicle job doing whatever to make a decent living.
This events are organized entirely by students, and although there are always problems here and there, they end up being great events. I truly am happy for them. Besides, I like the fact that they focused again on the artistic side of the craft, and about all the passionate stuff out there about technology, that's what we did when we organized the 3rd congress and it worked quite well... Business software and stuff like that is just boring.

After the congress was over and talking to some of the key speakers, I gave Daniel a ride to his house so that he could meet his parents and have time with his family. Back at home I got an invitation to have some coffee with Memo and then to a party from one of my college mates, a bunch of guys with whom I haven't talk where going to be there, etc. I felt like staying in and sleeping was the wisest idea, but as well the most boring... And you can always have time to rest later on... he he he.
The coffee talk was interesting, having conversations with Pollo and Memo is hard sometimes, for some reason they always end up becoming discussions and even then, although they may understand your point, if you say a word in the wrong place they will stop the pace of the discussion just so that is it clear to you that you miss used a word... I know that's a dynamic they enjoy, and once you get into that wave length it can be fun for a while... It's still weird.
Then at Pepillo's bday party I had a pretty good drunken time. At first when we arrived there where only 4 or 5 guys in there, slowly people showed up, at the end we were about 12. We were moved around the bar like 3 times to keep feeding our space needs. The one spot we got at the end was good.
Anyway, this is when for some messed up reason I decided that drinking beer with Pollo in a challenging way was a good idea, I seem to forgot about what happened the last time I did that. I had fun, I have to say that... But I think I drank a bit too much. [And this comes from someone who had a night of adventure due to tucker death mix, he he he].
My classmate from Japanese was there, a nice young attractive girl, I just wish I didn't act to stupid when I talked to her... he he he. My brother claims that when I walked towards the bathroom I acted very ungentlemanish towards a girl who crossed my way... That was a bummer, why couldn't I just laugh at me?, Why did I feel so bad about not being nice?... NOT BEING NICE SHOULD BE OK AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR!!!... I blame my parents, they did some messed up job with me and my brother... We cannot even go to the dark side in video games, really... We cannot.
Still... For all that,
Cheers!!!
