Borrowed Laptop

Managed to borrow a laptop and finally got to enter a journal entry for today. Overall, things have been fun and enjoyable, with nothing happening one the computing front. Might get into it next week though.

Muchissimo Gracias

Spent the New Year here at the Bay Area, visiting the in- laws. Celebrated the New Year by having the Media Noche.

Id Animii

Stumbled into something interesting about the Latin word 'anima.' Will continue collecting information about the idea surrounding it.

Argentina

Been following the news about what is going on in Argentina. A lot can be learned from how it ended that way. It might serve as a warning sign for the third world. I would greatly appreciate if somebody here could point me to a discussion site where I could read opinions about it. Spanish and English is fine though, think the Argentine language is much better and more meaningful to read.

MSCS

Talked to my folks about the idea of taking the MSCS course this year. Got a negative on that one, might get support if I take Law though.

X Grammar Support

Thought of setting up a maintenance support shop for dead languages having 10 to 30 year-old legacy apps. Got the idea from a guy who got a contract about maintaining old code. The guy basically wrote a new compiler for the old code. It now runs on new hardware and a different OS. Cool.
