One week left

The counter above indicates the number of days in which I’ll get my Engineering degree. My Master Thesis is nearly finished. Its title? Performance and power-consumption implication of fine-grain synchronization in multiprocessors. Typical.

Rafa’s web is up and running. Check it out!

Back home!

This morning I came back from Tallinn. I was pleasantly surprised by its picturesque medieval old town… no wonder it’s been designated a world heritage site by the UNESCO. I strongly recommend you to go visit it.

I’m now working on the photo gallery. I’ll put it online as soon as I manage to integrate it with the current web interface. Meanwhile I’d appreciate any suggestion about the web. By the way, Rafa has now his own weblog. He’ll put it online very soon :)

Disconnected for some days

I’ll be leaving to Tallin this afternoon, so I won’t be posting for some days. I’m going to spend just some hours there. Not even a whole day. Have to be back to work soon :(

Just got an email from Luis telling that he misses this a lot. Sniff sniff… This photo is taken at the last allhuset of my life… Aaaaaargh!

By the way, I’m still waiting for your logos.

Now listening… The Rasmus – F-f-f-falling hehe! like E-rasmus ;)

Köttbullar logo

Now that the weather is extremely nice it will be very hard for me to leave Stockholm. I expect to be on my way to Barcelona on the 15th June, and to Madrid on the 21st, probably not to come back again in the near future. It’s gonna be easier to leave if I take with me a unique souvernir. For instance, a t-shirt with the kotbullar logo printed on it (this idea was inspired by Rafa).

The problem is that we don’t have an official logo yet. That’s the point of the kotbullar logo contest. Any kotbullar can participate in it, following these easy guidelines:

  • the logo should be a high-resolution image
  • you should use a maximum of four colors
  • send the image file to contest@osierra.com
  • I’ll send you a free t-shirt with the logo if your proposal is selected! The jury will be randomly formed at a later point ;)

    Now listening… Baltimora – Tarzan boy

    Eurovision Song Contest

    One year ago I went to Copenhagen for four days. The Eurovision Song Contest happened to be one of those days, by coincidence. The funny thing is that in five days I’ll be on my way to Tallin. Again, when I bought the tickets I didn’t know that the contest will be held in Estonia this year, exactly in a week. Is this a hint?? Does this mean that I’ll be the next Bustamante??

    About the contestants, personally I prefer Sweden to Spain. What do you think??

    The last dinner

    A photo shot last wednesday, at the last dinner with the master jedi Luis. From left to right: Delia, Anne, Rafa, me! and Luis. Time to remember the past moments; it’s too cloudy to sunbathe and forget about everything :(

    Now listening… Modjo – Lady

    Episode II

    Rafa and I went to see Star Wars – Episode II today shortly after Luis left. It was a sort of challenge coz Luis is going to watch it tomorrow at the Spanish opening and we were getting too jealous. Much better than Episode I!

    One more Engineer in the world

    This is Ana. I started the Electrical Engineering degree with her more than 177.984.000 seconds ago.

    As she points out, being an Engineer means that from now on she’s going to be paid for doing something she has no idea about ;) Curiously enough, I have the same impression (though I’m not an Engineer yet, hmmm…).

    Anyway… congratz Ana!
