Create your own Error Messages (Nerds)


I Hope you are enjoying the summer, I am Indeed! not because of the weather (which is crap here) but because of the people I have around.

For a new training presentation I needed to find a typical error message of MS Windows so browsing on the internet I found a great webpage where you can create you own one (like the one you can see over these lines) here is the link if you want to give it a try.

Best party ever


Last Saturday 9th of August we had a Party in Irishtown, It was a fancy dress party and I went dressed as a Guiri, although no body understood my custom I did have a great time there, we were celebrating the leaving of Raul + one birthday + another birthday kept in secret (I made sure this wasn’t a secret anymore, lol)

I regretted not to bring a proper camera since my mobile’s one is crap in the dark, it doesn’t have flash, but there were people taking pictures all the time, hope to get a few of them during this week.

This was the first party that I didn’t run out of drink since long time, hahaha not because I drink all I bring, but because the drink I bring suddenly disappear… those thirsty b*stards! J . But I was told this happened as well in this party, what means I was just lucky (which certainly I was indeed)

There were a couple of bees, an angel, an Irish dancer, a priest, a mime, Luigi, a few transsexuals (with no tits), Mr. Scarface, etc. I have to say that they all were really funny but for me the nerd was the winner!

Definitely a party to be remembered but in fact I will remember this day as the day that a bee stung me… DIMH

Holliday booked


As promised long time ago here is an entry 100% in English, I’ll try to write more in English so my non-spanish-speaker friends can understand what I post.

I have finally booked my holiday to Spain, I’ll be there from 27th to the 11th. I have some business to take care of, like for example see a missing good friend THE SUN!!! yeah, this “summer” is a prolongation of the previous winter, ok the temperature is a little bit higher but it doesn’t go over 18 degrees, obviously far from the temperatures that I’ll find in Spain (hopefully, around 30 degrees)


I am looking forward to see my family and several friends that I must confess don’t call so often as I should, hope they’re still remembering me!

Each time I go there I see my nephews a nieces taller, it’s incredible how they grow so quick!, I fell surprised too about the way they treat me, it’s like we see each other more often, even the younger one which barely met him,. I love them very much and in some degree I regret to be so far away but life isn’t perfect and one has to take decisions. Well, I went too deep before, sorry!

The plan is to go to Madrid, maybe for a couple of days I will there meet a friend who coincidentally enough was planning to go the very same day to Madrid (he’s from Barcelona and lives in Dublin) and then go to my hometown, then go to Alicante with the family to enjoy the beach, sun, good food…can’t wait

Hopefully I’ll come back tanned and with the batteries full of energy to start a couple of projects I have in mind. Sun & energy related; I bought a week ago a T-shirt that says “Sunshine makes me High” and that’s really what I feel, I saw it and I couldn’t resist myself, it took me 3 minutes, the shorter purchase I have ever done!

Yo me frio o lo sophlo?


Creo que no he oido en mi vida una cancion tan profunda, de esas que te hacen pensar, sin mas ahi os dejo la letra de la cancion Should I Stay Or Should I Go de el grupo The Clash.


Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
Ill be here til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
Siempre - coqetiando y enganyando
Youre happy when Im on my knees
Me arrodilla y estas feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dias bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I stay or should I go?
Me debo ir o que darme

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

This indecisions bugging me
Esta undecision me molesta
If you dont want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly whom Im supposed to be
Diga me que tengo ser
Dont you know which clothes even fit me?
saves que robas me querda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
me debo ir o quedarme?


Should I stay or should I go now?
yo me frio o lo sophlo?
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voi - va ver peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
yo me frio o lo sophlo?


Buen, hablando en serio, como vereis la parte en Spanish is una put* pena, la verdad que vale para echarse unas risas, pero la historia es curiosa, resulta que el cantante y compositor de la banda John Graham Mellor tuvo la feliz idea de poner los coros en Español asi que necesitaba a alguien que le tradujera la letra y la unica persona que tenian a mano fue la madre de uno de por alli que era Ecuatoriana viviendo en Nueva York. Ella fue la que escuchando la letra tradujo algunas frases al Ecuatospanish, esto sumado a que se hizo a traves del telefono y que no tenian idea de Español en el estudio dio como resultado esta maravillosa letra.

Al menos hay que agradecer que tuvieran ese detalle alla por 1981.
