Juan Céspedes - July 2004 

rover, Charo, Carol, echeva, and me!

Kinépolis, screen number 25, first row, just a few meters from the actual screen :-)

I always like super-hero movies, and rover liked this one specially because the "hero" does all the sort of things a hero is not supposed to do.

rover, Charo and me went to Kinépolis to see "Spartan" in screen number 21. Nice film, although Charo and rover didn't enjoy it as much as I did.

Vaishali will be leaving in a few days, and she wanted to go to the "Parque de Atracciones" first, so there we went :-)

Carol, Charo, Echeva, Navin, Thandef, Vaishali and me were there to have a very nice and funny day.

Charo is finally back in Madrid, but she will go back in a few days :-(

She came here to do some sort of things, such as meeting with her professor in charge of her Final Project.

I like classical music. I like Beethoven. I like his symphonies. But what I like most is Beethoven's 9th symphony. It makes me feel happy, it's simply great.

Juan-Mariano told me a few days ago that there was going to be a performance of Beethoven's 9th symphony in Pozeulo de Alarcón tonight. And I cannot say no to that, so there we went :-)

The orchestra was all right; the director was fine. But the sound was awful; I had never heard the 9th Symphony with such a poor quality. Even listening from the radio would be better. The reason is that the auditorium where it was played had microphones all over the orchestra and an audio system which retransmitted the music, but the volume went up and down with no reason, there was a lot of distortion with low frequences, and when the chorus was singing, the loudspeakers produced saturation several times.

Vaishali-Narain Mirchandani Daryanani deleighted some of us to join her in a party, celebrating the beginning of the holidays and her departure to Tenerife.

Many weeks after its launch, I finally managed to make someone invite me to an account in gmail.

Marielle Fois was the one who sent the invitation to me. Thank you, Marielle :-)

"Los Veranos de la Villa" made a performance of the 3rd Beethoven Symphony in the "Plaza Mayor" tonight.

Juan-Mariano, Marielle, Multivac and me went there.

José Manuel Moya and Ana López had a baby a few weeks ago (Anita), but I couldn't see her until today. She is a very quiet and funny little baby.

Charo got a train this afternoon to go to her parent's house in Albacete. She will be there until next monday.

We will miss you, Charo...

Last version of ltrace (0.3.33) couldn't be automatically built for many architectures (arm, m68k, powerpc, s390) because it had a prototype declaration problem in all thouse architectures. This release simply fixes it (and adds a new architecture to control file, "amd64", which was missing since version 0.3.32).

At last, all the records of the califications from my first doctorate course were published today. My final marks have been:

	Advanced Algorithms		NT (B)
	Robótica		NT (B)
	Seminario		SB (A)
	Sistemas Ubicuos		SB (A)
	Algoritmos Distribuidos		SB (A)
	Software Libre		NT (B)

Carol, rover, echeva, Israel, Vaishali, Navin, Charo and me went to Kinépolis to see "Shrek 2", the last movie from "Dreamworks".

Some people said it is not a good film, but I must say that it is very funny (although perhaps not as funny as the first part)

Álvaro Hernández Tortosa (aka AHT)'s sister celebrated her birthday and was kind enough to invite some of his brother's friends.

The party began about 21:00 and didn't finish until the sunrise.

We met lots of beautiful girls and boys (Vaishali can attest it) and I must say that the water in their swimming-pool was very refreshing :-)

Like every year, Óscar Martínez de la Torre (aka OMT)'s birthday took place at his parent's swimming-pool.

Lots of people attended; among them: rover, Juan-Mariano, Piedad, José Luis, Arancha, José Antonio, Sergio...
