Looking ahead!!

In these bad economical times it doesn't hurt to be a little bit proactive in matters of financial security and personal evolution.

Therefore I now make my services available here.

I am currently looking and would be interested in a getting in touch with you for a gentle discussion on how I can solve your technical problems.

Please find my contact information here on this page including my CV.

2008 almost over

...so what did I do? what did I accomplish?

I guess 2008 was a year of heavy contemplation. Standing in front of a crossroad in more ways than one.

I think I have reaffirmed my believes in great many things. I think focus now should be on strengthen the ability to create something new out of my experiences. I have come to realize where my strengths and weaknesses are.

After all I am just a human being :)

In times like these with a world in turmoil in more than one way I think we can create something new and exciting. Sometimes you have to tear down in order to build up.

New years resolutions (yup and this time I intend to keep it up):

- Learn new skills, like sailing, sky diving and cooking etc.
- Totally change my lifestyle, as my body is my temple
- Make new friends and look for new opportunities where I didn't look before
- Take up music again
- Be honest to myself and others
- Loose my goddamn annoying love-handles

Hail to my previous blog

Here you go - www.jroller.com/page/formi05

Yeah I know... why do people write all that crap about what they are doing all day and day in. I mean who will ever read that anyways :)

I guess an archive is like a camera... I mean, you look at photos you haven't seen in a long time and... its kind of takes you back. Hmmmm very cool invention :)

In a good mood

Been thinking for quite awhile... trying to figure it all out. He he... I know it too well...

You know things like this... you are trying to create your own life. your own path.. applying your values and principles as your are traveling through life trying to adapt. I for one have been trying to shape my destiny in more ways than you can understand and I am sorry for all you people who have been suffering for my indecisiveness, my weaknesses and weird behavior. Please don't take it personally!! Its just been me trying to figure myself out.

Why move here and there. Why giving up stability for the lack their of. Well.. let me tell you this. I want to explore. I want to know what life is all about. I travel. I meet people... I eat crazy food... I do crazy things.. Does it have something to do it my childhood? The books I have read? The movies I have watch? The people I have met? I don't know.

Life is such a incredible thing... I have never experienced anything like it ever!! ;)

I guess I am a very analytical person.. I like to understand where I have been, where I am and where I am going. To be in control, be on top of things is where I feel most comfortable.

All that I have achieved in my life, I have not done because I have worked hard. It has just happened. Not because I have directly acted upon things in my immediate proximity of events but indirectly due to other circumstances. its all driven by your belief system...

Its so true the axiom put forth by way more informed people than me: "force it and it will happen not, though it will find you and the realization of being their in its mist might strike you as a wonderful miracle"

I am a scientist by training and as thus holds no God true but I am amazed by what life has to offer through the sheer act of kindness, a smile, a friendly gesture.

You tell me...

I can only end this with a good quote from my good friend and fellow member of the Gambrinos (the God of Beer by the way) order - "Nubium ets bibendum"

You are the result(s) of your own actions...

1 year is coming up

Having been in this position now for almost a year I can only conclude one thing. Experimentation is good... keep going. This experience is good for the next stage in my career.

I am a proponent of lightweight processes, the right tools, good synergetic relationships and having fun solving hard problems developing stuff that I believe in.

The process has started.

Moment of Truth

Life is like a journey, with a definite beginning and a final end. Start small, think big. Don't be paralyzed by forces you cannot control. Think about the solution, not the problem.

Sometimes you fail. Learn from the experience. Always be curious. Always experiment. Bo beyond the limits. Eventually you will succeed. And if you don't, be happy! At least you tried everything you could. Make good friend. Do not fade away.

Most important thing in life is friends. Friends you can trust, respect and laugh with. Be positive. Avoid negativity. Lift yourself up at the scuff of your neck when you feel down.

Talk to people. Find new angles. Don't be afraid to be corrected. There are no absolute truths, only ways to look at things.

Its not about being the best. Perfect does not exist. Only better... Don't compare yourself to others. Try to be yourself. Don't imitate. Just create, improvise... put yourself out there. How else can you learn?

There will always be somebody richer than you, better than you. Always! So if you have reached the top. Then what? Its not a competition. It's a never ending story. Life is such a beautiful thing and its our only chance to live here and now. And if reincarnation exist... so what? You will not remember what you were or did in your past lives anyways.

Be gentle. Be kind to people. Return a smile or a greeting. It will get back to you. Not through the actions of others but just the mere fact that you opened up. By doing this... you will be liked and you will like others.

We have all had bad days and we always will. This is fact of life. Live with it. Its all about perception.


Moment of Truth...

Bankok, August 2008, Fraser Suites, 36th floor. Fantastic view.

Live it beautiful :)

Drum and Base is the Shit

Very few genres inspires me more than drum'n'bass. Its the utopia of electronic music in my opinion. There are quite a few web sites that actually stream live sweet drops of this stuff... one of my favorites right now is Base Drive go there and click the 128k link and enjoy.

For you that wants to rip all this stuff, just download streamripper and get loaded with these sweeeeet juices... freekin good.

Shout out to my friend Cookie in Hong Kong. He is really rocking hard. If you are lucky you might catch him spinning at one of the excellent venues there.

Another excellent chap to hang out with is Giles, my really good friend since long, from Bournemouth. If you are lucky enough to travel around Asia, another good friend that spins at a respectable venue in Shanghai is James White... respect!! (too bad we couldnt meet up for my birthday July 31st)
