Sent some small cleanup and a spanish i18n file to Rhythmbox. Release is near, get ready.

By the way, the book was Love and Sleep by John Crowley, one of the best authors I've ever read. Go read it. Better, read all of his books (specially AEgypt and Little, Big).

Saw Land and Freedom (again), North by Northwest (again) and Blithe Spirit (this was a new one! :)).

Sent a small cleanup to Rhythmbox. It resulted to be braindead. Sent a comment to the code so hopefully nobody as dumb as me will try that again. I suck.

Just saw Red Dragon. Mediocre.

Bought a bunch of books for about 40€: The Magus (John Fowles), The Catcher in the Rye (J.D. Salinger), Lord of the Flies (William Golding), The Eigth (Katherine Neville), ¿What is Property? (P. Jph. Proudhon), Statism and Anarchy (Bakunin) and the complete collection of the Sherlock Holmes books (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle). Not bad for 40€ huh!?

No answers for my mighty literary question from yesterday. Sigh, nobody reads my diary :)

So, first diary entry ever.

I've just seen Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi , the last Hayao Miyazaki anime. It's so good it hurts, so please go to see it if you can :).

Maybe you're asking yourself what's that silly name in my Notes entry. It's the name of a real book written about 500 years ago. The protagonist and narrator of a modern fantasy master piece (IMHO) reads it and tells about it to a single mother and her daughter, who laughs because of the funny name.

If you can tell me the name of the book I'll send you a FREE copy of Rhythmbox ;).

P.S.: I'll change the entry when I think something about myself to write :)
