Oracle acquires Sun Microsystems

Image
Acquisition Sun Microsystems bought by Oracle dariointernet.com Summary : Wwwoooww!! Sun microsystems has been bought by Oracle the database software company. Two of Sillicon Valeys historical companies are now one. Oracle’s database are used more on Solaris OS based Sun server machines anyway. Aparently Sun had been selling fewer servers lately. Because Sun owns MySQL database that now falls into Oracle's ownership. I hope Larry has no plans of milking money off MySQL to buy himself more little jets. Anyway, this all screws IBM quite a bit.

Animation and Logo Design - Plus: World Homeless World Cup of Football

World Homeless World Cup + Cool Animation and Logo Design updatesdario.blogspot.com Summary : ... In this cold freezing weather we are having in Europe, it is seriously important to think about the homeless . There are way many out there. Way more than official data's go. People dismiss the issue saying.. ..Oh there are shelters , but believe me there are not, particularly where the homeless hang out, which is the center of town. For starters, nobody provides them free transportation to the outskirts, if the shelter is located away from the town center. In October 2005 I was unemployed and desperately looking for work on the internet. Right then, the lady I was renting a room from, decided to switch phone companies, leaving us without internet for a month, which is the ridiculous amount of time it takes in Spain for an operator to start someones internet service. So I had to go with my laptop to one centric plaza in Madrid under a government office to use the WIFI for ...

Dischi acquistati in mio viaggio a Milano + E altre storie + Anteprima 0:55 di un maxi singolo italiano

Ero a Milano per un viaggio di lavoro. Gli uffici della società (the company) sono vicini a: Porta Ticinese. Dopo molti anni, finalmente si puo vedere la facciata della catedrale dopo il ristauro: catedrale. Ma e 'stata così radicalmente pulita che ha perso il suo senso storico. Delle tre negozi di dischi vinile usati che avevo in programma per vedere, ho visto due. Vicino a la mia societa era Disco Mame. Vicino al: naviglio grande disco mane Non era male ... ma i singoli ( 7" ) erano poco e costoso. Meglio era A. Rossetti dischi e libri usati. Un negozio piu picolo ma meno costoso e molto piu practico. Rossetti E cui una imagine delle dischi comprati per me. 31k dischi Fa click sull banner sotto per vedere un ANTEPRIMA 0:55 Incompleta di Che cosa Hai? (1988)

Wien Calling..!! Oh, and the 11% hike in Spains electric bill.

Image
My stomach is not in good shape this morning and I'm in pain. I nervously had too many chips with soda while watching the Eurocup final. Then with the heat and the noise of the illegal fireworks it wasn't easy to sleep. Its warm and one is still scared to turn on the air conditioning. The electricity bill was already high in Spain, now they have increased it 11%. The stupid Minister of economy has the nerves to say that the price increase will provoke "responsible usage". Right! The only thing it provokes in me is anger and a desire to kick someone in the balls. Balls which he doesnt have since he misserably lost in the local elections last time. Oh, on the cute note, a co-worker of mine went to Austria to see the final game between Spain and Germany. He was caught on a video on the front page of one of Spains most famous sport magazines (in it's internet version).

La Noche de San Juan

Image
Es la noche mas corta del año. Y si no me equivoco es fiesta al dia siguiente en Barcelona pero aqui en Madrid, no!!! Los de Barcelona tambien tuvieron fiesta el dia 20 de Junio y los de Madrid no! ¿Que pasa Esperma Aguirre??¿Esto que es?? La mañana siguiente a la noche de San Juan, es el día de San Juan. Osea el primer día del verano. Y como todos los años es justo cuando empieza el "invierno" en las oficinas del parque empresarial donde trabajo. Parece que no les importa la factura electrica porque no se cortan en derrochar en aire accondicionado. En la oficina sobre todo los que estamos en los rincones, hace un frío siberiano. Los años anteriores hubo gente que se traía su calentador electrico. No merece la pena quejarse ya que no hace ningun efecto como se demostró los años anteriores. Solucion: Gorro! Chaqueta y pantalones largos en la oficina!

Hay dos perros "lobos" por mi barrío, que bueno creo que son dos lobos directamente, y siempre les acaricio cuando paso y sus dueño les ha dejado afuera. Con el nazo ( nariz) me aprietan el bolsillo, porque huelen comida en mi bolsilio. Estuve en Canarias, y como en toda España esta inhundado de Latinos. Un dia fuí a un internet café. De repente entra una tia y al sentarse arma un poco de jaleo con su bolso y demas. El camarero le mira y dice: "Con esos nervios que tienes se nota que no eres latina..."!! Todos nos reimos. Por supuesto la tia dijo: "Espero que se me note por algo mas..no solo los nervios"! It was funny at work: The company has changed it's marketing direction and now everything is heart shape. As you know heart in italian is Cuore. Well I work in the core technology team. So in a meeting they were joking that Core will change its name to cuore. Por supuesto como todos los años el ultimo dia del trabajo del año pasado, fuimos todos lo...

Quesadillas en Madrid!

El domingo fuí a la calle esa, que se me olvida su nombre, por Chueca donde hay dos restaurantes Mexicanos. Entré en uno y el ambiente era muy agradable ya que estaba decorado con parafernalias mexicanas. Era la primera vez que iva a comer un taco o una quesadilla desde que dejé California! Obviamente el sitio estaba lleno de americanos añorando lo mismo que yo! Eso si, el precio fue reflejo de lo que esta tan mal en España. Por una quesadilla tamaño de un micro taco (me quede pensativo un rato cuando vi lo pequeño que era - y yo que pensaba que iva a ser como las del Taco Bell!- ), un taco y una coca cola, me costo 9Euros = 12 dollares!!! Asi estamos en España! Y encima con los sueldos bajos que hay en España! -------------------------------------------- Funny dilbert strip relating to my job: Dilbert strip external link

funny things

Me an my coworkers were talkin over lunch... and It was cute to find out that several of us, get off the metro (subway / tube), several stations earlier than where we live, so that we can walk the streets and look at shop and store displays! ------------ I was traveling in Egypt, in Luxor. I was walking thru a non turisitic section of town and sat outdoors at a restaurant to eat! Five minutes later, I get greeted by a tourist friend which I had met some days ago on the Nile! She was walking on the non-tourist areas as well! Looking for a restaurant! So we eat together at the Terrace! ------------ Today I went to cut my hair. While I was having my hair cut, people were talking about the long lines at the supermarket. One guy said that the long line is so that people buy more items by paying attention to the expensive stuff close to the register and buy expensive things they would have otherwise ignored. However, my haircut person replied that when there is a long line, she actually buys...

* I went to cruising... As usual boring... however, all the free sandwiches I eat there make up for the cover charge! anyway they had a stripp show, and I had the silly idea of sitting at the very front. Well this big muscle guy comes out dressed as a cowboy, hat and all! and starts stripping. Well It turned out it was an interactive show! He puts the hat on me! Then drags me to the stage and instructs me on how to put my arms around him and touch him!! So funny! I went with my laptop and sat in plaza mxxxx to get on the net prestado... anyway, I had to sit in that spot and this clown threw a show in the area right in front of me for over 500 people watching and clapping at him. It was so cool to be on the net and at the same time see the clown dressing up infront of me and him playing wih fire, etc.. * Por primera vez, me he vacunado contra el gripe * Fui para una entrevista de trabajo a Pozuelo, solo se tarda 30 minutos en ir * Estuve apuntado a un curso de comercio exterior.
