A Blog about Nothing in particular

Estoy pensando en pensar que pienso, y pienso... para que pensar?

Para los que no están familiarizados con los Grupos en Opera, desde hace un tiempo ya existe uno que se llama 365 Fotos.
Es un grupo de entusiastas de la fotografía que se propone, durante 365 días publicar una foto nueva todos los días.
Esto genera la existencia en el grupo de álbumes con perlas muy variadas que hacen que realmente valga la pena pasar unos minutos recorriendo la página.
Para todos aquellos que tengan interés en conocerlo, esta es la dirección del grupo: 365
Y esta es la de mi álbum, iniciado en Agosto de 2009 365 through my N95

Espero disfruten la visita.

Estoy teniendo problemas para instalar Win7 64 bits en mi máquina. Bajé la ISO del RC de la página de Microsoft, tengo un serial y todo el Hardware compatible, pero por alguna razón que no logro decifrar, la instalación completa el proceso, reinicia y cuando veo el cartel "Iniciando Windows" se congela y deja de trabajar el disco.
He buscado por todas partes, inclusive hice un post en Microsoft Answers pero no he obtenido respuestas.
Si alguien ha tenido el mismo problema, por favor deme una mano.

PD Win7 32 bits corre fenómeno en la misma máquina, así que definitivamente es un problema con 64 bits.

Mi PC es:
Motherboard: ASUS M2A-VM HDMI, chipset AMD 690G, con video Radeon X1200 integrado, Audio AC97 HD, Red Lan 10/100/1000 y Firewire.
Procesador: AMD Athlon64 x2 5000+ (AM2) corriendo @2.8 Ghz. aunque lo vuelvo a normal para instalar.
Memoria: 2x 2GB Kingston DDR2 800 corriendo a dual channel.
Video: XFX 9800GT 512MB ram DDR3
Discos: 1x Samsung 320 GB SATA II y 2x Samsung 250GB SATA II.
Monitor Samsung 17" DVI (4:3)

Yes, well, I'm bumped too, My PC is busted. I don't know what happened but after two years of a perfect run yesterday I had 2 blue screens one after the other. The symptoms HD failure, yeah my disk is toasted... but which one?
I have three disks on my machine, one for the system and some files and the others for games and multimedia, but the logs in windows don't seem to be quite as precise as you'd like them to be so I'm checking them all for errors. In the mean time, I'm running on a crippled system with 1/3 of it's real storage capacity.
Guess I'm lucky I didn't buy that 1 TB HD when I had the chance, at least I lost one out of three HD's and not THE one.
MY girlfriend is going to kill me though when she finds out I have to spend money again om my lover.. haha... no seriously, she hates it when I have to buy things for the PC (like she never uses it) or like I don't work and live of it.
Anyway, I had to write it and get it off my system.

I was browsing through the community the other day and I noticed the writing competition. I know I'm not much of a writer but I thought I'd give it a chance, after all I use Opera all day, I mean I must know something about it.
Of course the topic had already been chosen by Opera: Innovation. Ha, they didn't rock their brains with it…
But of course, if there is a word to define Opera's Commitment to technology, that is Innovation.
Take the Desktop Browser for example: there you have a piece of code that can allow you to (and the order is just as it comes to my mind): a) Browse the Internet, securely; b) Send and receive mails in the simplest of ways; c) you can Customize it in any way, shape or form you choose; d) read Feeds and keep them updated without hustle; e) It is an IRC chat client!; and finally UNITE, the soon to be crown jewel of Opera, because come on, did you ever imagine it would be sooo simple to do what Unite let's you do? Create and host a web server at your own PC, Share all kinds of files and Stream music (pretty soon there will be other content to, you bet), Host a chat server for you, your friends, family and whomever you want to invite there, have a cool post it on the fridge when someone dropped by and didn't find you, and the list goes on and on.
So there you have it, with just one example, and to make a long story short, this goes to show people that innovation does not mean copying stuff that works from other people, and camouflaging them with lights and shines; it means creating them, whether they work or not (you can read this insightful statistics: Reality show Results...) and then have other people copy you, yes, you know what I'm talking about.
So kudos Opera, keep spoiling us with brilliant ideas and making the Web whatever we want it to be, one PC (or MAC ) at a time.
