28 more days to go until i go and be able to check facebook again. i honestly haven’t checked it since my original post “Giving up Facebook For Lent.” the only thing that i’ve been doing is update my status 😉 with my countdown. hopefully i have not missed anything important. hahahaha… what would that be?!
i just read this article/story (Music That Makes You Dumb?)of the music type that makes you dumb. i honestly think that depending on you knowledge that is the type of music that you will be listening to. of course that this is nor proven scientific but it is just a start.
yesterday i just did my first non-computer hack. i mod a fm transmitter converting it to a “super steroid fm transmitter.” my transmitter wasn’t that good with its signal strength so i decided to upgraded or put it on steroids (however you want to call it).
what i did was really simple. i went to radioshack and get:
then you will need to open your fm transmitter and unsolder the wire where the antenna is connected (see image 1). once you have done this… then connect your new electrical wire to where the antennas was connected. then connect your electrical wire to the antenna that you bought and now you have a “super steroid fm transmitter.”

note: make sure that you assemble all the parts the way it was, it is not my fault if you screwed up and i think this might be illegal in couple of countries. this is me just showing you that i got it done 😉 and that it is possible and you could probably do it as well.
if you own a blackberry like me (in my current case pearl 8130) and you wish to be able to use skype and facebook chat then nimbuzz is your solution. there are all messaging apps available for msn, aol, yahoo, google and others. but you will not find an application for skype or facebook chat. skype is still under current development of the skype mobile client and facebook chat is mmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnn, i don’t know. i don’t think that they will develop an application for facebook chat at the time, plus there are no rumors.
so why am i writing this to inform you something that you would probably already know, well because there is a mobile app for free that will be able to use skype and facebook chat at the same time plus other instant messaging clients. the program is call nimbuzz and you could go and visit their site (link below) in order to find more information about them and download their program in order to be able to use skype and facebook chat.
hopefully you will enjoy as much as i do. i absolutely love it.
Nimbuzz – Free international mobile call chat messaging with skype, msn & yahoo messenger, Icq.
PS: you will need to create an account with them and provide your mobile phone number. i thought that it was a scam, but is not. 😉
Jesus sacrificed hisself for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert (at least that is what the bible says). so i am planning to do the same thing but jsut with facebook. starting today i will not access my facebook for 40 days and 40 nights. the only thing that i will be capable of is updating my status and facebook chat. besides that i will not access my account for nothing else for that time frame.
and guess what!!! i will NOT cheat.
wish me good luck, because i know when ever i come back i will have like thousands of new app requests and probably some “friends” trying to be my friends.
this one will allow you to have the lastest verison of amarok in your sources.

i’ve been using the older version of openoffice and i wanted to upgrade to 3.0 in ubuntu. well it is not as easy as … i download the files and then click upgrade. there are repositories that i need to download in order to install them properly. you will be using ppa (personal package archive) in order to have such of installation.
so what i did in order to have this upgrade automatically is the following steps:
synaptic package manager“deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid mainalright… i know that i am currently working on a paper but i had to do this. just as it right now i just experience the best application that i could ever imagine. i really hate people that chat through facebook chat and i really hate to be bother while i am stalking others :D. so what it is what i am talking about… the facebook integration to pidgin in order to use it as a instant message application, just like if you were using yahoo, msn, icq and others.
now i will be able to chat with my friends with no problem from my instant messenger. that is why i love open source applications, it gives you the freedom to use it which ever way you want it.
so in order to have facebook on your im you will need to get…
and that is it… NOTE: that this was tested on ubuntu (linux os).
i just got done watching a awesome documentary/movie called “Rumbo A Las Grandes Ligas.” it is based on the true story that every dominican has to go by in order for them to be on the major leagues. every dominican dreams about being on the major leagues but only few are chosen to play in such a place. after the usa, dominican republic is the second place in the world that has more player playing in the major leagues.
baseball it is not just “un deporte” for these guys… is a business. they play it because they love it and because they see a chance for them and their family to get out of debt. i think that this is a “‘must watch” movie if you are open minded and you want to learn more about my culture on how we come from the bottom with nothing trying to make a live. even though i did not experience a lot of these events… my family does. so do not try to come to me saying that you do not feel sorry for me, becuase i have family that i have to help as well.
here is a link for more information about this movie: http://www.indiepixfilms.com/film/3537. i hope that you will enjoy it as much as i did.
so since my computer broke down i haven’t been able to extract my personals files from a zip folder. the file itself is 30gb and it didn’t feel like comming out. but guess what!? today it did 🙂 finally i got all my files back and i am up and running.
