Graphs, automatons, petri nets, lists and standing your ground.

At first there is this great idea about the guy that pays a hitman to kill him in the future for some obscure reason.
In fact he doesn't want to die.. but he NEEDS this hitman trying to kill him in the future.

And then there are the finite state machines... those are just plain math, reasoning and abstraction; lots of abstraction. I wasn't so much of an advocate of silence but every time I step into some of this things I just can't work while everybody around me are discussing related issues, video cards or whatever the coffee tastes like. No matter how much you like the thing or how able you are to solve the problem but just... you need peace of mind!
Give me a quiet Saturday, nine notebook sheets and half a liter of coffee and we're done!
Then is when you are free to experiment with crazed recursion through some non formal dingbat "resource allocation" lists! What do we have in common between graphs, automatons and petri nets?! They all look great for their didactic examples and initial purposes. Heck! they are awesome! But then again, when you get down to business you'll do some crazed mixed up thing! Colored petri nets? I'm pretty sure that they were someone's hack for their problem.

Regarding your own squared piece of ground in this social-psychological world, it is very easy to note how much size matters. When you get to a totally new environment you start with your 1x sized square as if you were ready to be taken down. To survive and at the same time be something more than an ordinary button pusher you do have to stand your ground and start growing to reach your vital space! Mein Kampf anyone?! HAHA! anyway..

Here I go back to music, coffee, chatting and Sunday things!

Now it's practically official!

Employed!
Can't really get the whole dimension of the thing but it just looks pretty darn awesome!
Nice place, nice people, nice responsibilities and nice challenges!

At the same time, some great things left behind, some great thing coming on!
And here we go rolling and blowing in(with) the wind!

(In fact this whole thing deserves a lot more fuuuny/philosophical things but not much time left now.. and nothing to procrastinate so..)

And then, just again what to tell them!?

Another funny day joins the queue for funniest ones of all time!
Here we go!

Google App Engine?!

After so much time with the fixed idea:

I should try google app engine one day

or

Google App Engine must be awesome!

I finally got to it!
Just works..

Confrontations.

Now and then you'll encounter this people, whom maybe you like and have some respect for, being stubborn, and wrong, in some particular topic. Sometimes the discussion seem good at the start but then you realize that they are NOT going to change their opinion, let aside their arguments, without a good battle.
It is then that the blurred difference between being stubborn and having "strong opinions" becomes slightly more noticeable.
In fact I am one of those! "There I was, oh there I am!"
One thing some people don't seem to get is the idea that sometimes conversation revolves around arguments and that the real purpose about conversations lays on the exchange of arguments, lots of them. A big discussion about something isn't fun if some of the parties fails to find, or even to search for, new arguments to prove their point. If the exchange of arguments keeps on going, it really doesn't matter at the end who wins (if that comes to happen at all).
Sometimes it pays off to enter a discussion on something that the other parties aren't even wrong, it is just that they could be "more correct"; for the sake of the records man!

I even remember trying with someone to deliberately find a diverging point so that you could engage in one of this "events".

But please, urban legends are just that.. urban legends.

Not Procrastinating (2) (too much)

I should be writing my thesis but I feel like posting something so I'll be short.

"Keep moving, keep moving, keep bouncing!"
Said the crazy Frenchy that opened doors kicking with her military boots!

The need for a badass.

There are this self-confident girls. They sometimes just need a badass guy that albeit being very intimate, surprisingly enough, don't care about them "in other ways" and never even hits on them. They need it to get a grip on good old life. Note that it must be pretty obvious that the problem is NOT the guy and indeed them. Than there is just a small number of possible outcomes.
On of them is just complete nervous breakdown.
