Went for a quick coffee today as well, as it was a somewhat nice day today. The sun was a bit shy, but overal the weather has been improving lately. Now one more day on the weekend before getting back to another five days of hard work

It’s been a couple of calm months, but like they say, it’s only the calm before the storm, and the next couple of months will be a storm of hard work. Still, better to have work to do than none.

Also this month I’ll see if I can finally manage to finish 360host, the new name for webmadeira.net It’s been in the works for sometime now, and it’s about time it sees the light of the server :p

What else is new recently? Well, the F1 has started again, with Vettel leading the way on the first Grand Prix. Looks like it’s going to be a great season this year. And of course I had to buy F1 2010 for Xbox to play a bit hehe.

I’ve also added NFS Hot Pursuit to my list of games (which has been increasing for some reason, even if time has been decreasing!). Actually, it seems that the more games I have, the less time I have to play them!

Star Trek TOS is almost done as well. I’m midway on the third season, and after that is starting the movies until TNG, when it will be time to invest a bit more money buying the TNG seasons. At ~£11 pounds each, is not too bad of a deal

Spring is coming to London as well, a bit shy, but coming. We’ve had a couple of sunny days so far. Not many, but hopefully we’ll have some more Time to put the warm clothing back in the closet (I hope).

Also recently I’ve started doing some work on the iPhone: a sound app to generate music tracks. Yes, there are already some on the AppleStore, but is a good way to learn openAL and make something interesting at the same time

EDIT: Just noticed that with the latest version of wordpress you get a nice topbar when you are on the frontend (and logged in) to add new pages, check comments and a couple other things. Really useful

Been back to Madeira for a week, as a surprise for everyone. Was nice seeing the faces people did when seeing me back there

The weather back there was nice as well, a big improvement over the British weather, no doubt. It also makes me even more homesick, and goodbyes are never easy either.

Nevertheless, was fun spending time with family and friends, seeing the new things the island has to offer, and chilling out in the bits of sun that were there from time to time.

Now, who knowns when I’ll be back again…

Portugal managed to stay on the world cup with a massive 7 nil against the Koreans. Not let’s see on Friday how we are going to manage Brazil, and who might be playing Spain on the knock-out.

And I also found out I’ve doing something for the past two days that there was no need to be done :p I guess it was going training, but it would be so much better if I was doing something else with the time. Oh well, will need to make up for it during the week.

And speaking of week, only three more to go before going back to where I came from :p I’m just hopping the good weather will come out, because I want a nice tan

Well, we can start with a nice update: got a new LCD TV, a 26 inches Panasonic Viera. PlayStation games have gained a new life now, and I can play without bothering anyone else :p By the way, if you have a PS2 and a LCD TV, get a composite cable. The difference is amazingly substantial. If you got a PS3, well, just get a HDMI cable

Speaking of PlayStation games, I got to the 50% barrier on Gran Turismo 4. Just hopping to get to 100% before GT5 gets out, tough something tells me I still have plenty of time to do that.

I’m now looking for a new place as well. With the recession and all that one would expect prices to go down, but if anything they went up. So for now I’m on the lookout for a nice self contained studio.

Well, that’s it for now. Time to go back to GT4 and get up the ladder a little more.

A great year to all of you who visit my blog.

Cheers.
