Lozbo am I

Still don’t know

Lozbo — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 04:01:23 +0000

I still don’t know what to do with this site. I have LozBlog, where I talk personal nonsense, my academic blog, where I post multimedia stuff, and LozBlogger, Google related content only. What should I do with this blog?

Gone

Lozbo — Sun, 13 May 2007 17:07:36 +0000

This blog is not being updated. I know you know, so for those of you who do not know, it has been moved to LozBlog. I may update this blog right here, or maybe not.

Monarch Spiders

Lozbo — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 07:29:55 +0000

We went to the Monarch Butterflies Sanctuary, and came back alive to tell the story. It has been told that one of those insects has enough poison to kill thirteen horses. Oh yes, indeed, beware the sanctuary.

It’s a dangerous road ahead, thousands of miles to get up the mountain to see those Monarch spiders get laid and get stuck like powerful magnets into the huge leafy and thriving trees of this bug haven.

It’s not worth, damn spiders, almost got me slain. Anyway, Juan the coast guard told us they are actually poisonous, but only to their natural predators, some crazy birds or something. But who knows, he was crazy too (what is a coast guard doing in a forest anyway).

Portal CUCEA v4

Lozbo — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 22:41:03 +0000

This is the evolution of the CUCEA Web Portal. The fourth will be, in the series of the different versions of this University Center’s Web sites. Changes in the main content structure, further development in the graphic design into a cleaner and more minimalist and discreet (yet sober and serious) layout, full integration of every page into a single template (and as time allows us, different ‘skins’ for each section), complete markup building based on the latest W3C standards, strict XHTML, valid CSS, full cross browser accessibility, server side programming in php, and the use of an open source CMS.

That means tons and tons of work. Yes, I’m kinda worried.

What You Want…

Lozbo — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 06:03:04 +0000

I was thinking the other day… well I don’t really remember what but I came to a conclusion that sounded really interesting, elegant, intelligent and even poetic…

“Do not think in what can you do with the given tools, but first realize What You Want and then set out a plan to achieve it…”

Oh yes… I was wondering, astraying into the void with thoughts of programming languages, scripts, programs and computer software and stuff…

Posada Estrada Out Now!

Lozbo — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 04:42:39 +0000

We’ve recently just opened up a partner blog at posadaestrada dot wordpress. ‘Tis just more nonsense. But this time, I added some pals to the formula and it gets even worse. ~~Well I don’t know what else to say~~. Do drop by if you own enough time to dive into the realm of chaotic stupidity and untidy concepts from beyond sanity.

Just jokin’: do not enter it, though Posada Estrada does welcome you any time, we do not wish to grant you access, and we do forbid any outlander to pay heed to this announcement, which means you are banned forever, and ever… forever and ever!! Muhahahahaha…

…Never mind.

All set: TOEFL

Lozbo — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 21:14:46 +0000

Test of English as a Foreign Language. Tomorrow I shall take this test and afterwards I’ll be able to continue my application to the University of Westminster, where I’d like to study a Master.

I have not studied, nor made any formal practice nor anything, yet I hope and pray that everything goes well. In fact, I am not taking the International test, which I think is what I need, but in its stead, I am applying for the Institutional one. The thing is that I need to take a test as fast as I can in order to progress with the application (which requires a formal way of proving my english level), and then, the scholarship.

“So let it be written, so let it be done…”

Yeah, tomorrow at eleven o clock: (as I like to call it) the TOFLE.

CSS Layout Finished! (It works even in IE!)

Lozbo — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 05:25:19 +0000

At least! I Finally came to a solution to a design of a web site layout, which a well known, ugly, horrible, not standards-compliant, god-damn (but unfortunately the most popular and used) Internet Browser just refused to display correctly.

Another reason for me to urge you to switch now to Firefox. Firefox is an open source browser, with the ‘ability’ to display web content as it is supposed to be (as the W3C International Standards group recommends, yes, that non-lucrative organization directed by Tim Berners Lee). And you can customize your Firefox with different skins and plugins, and add tons and tons of functionality to your web experience.

That and because Yoda says so.

Anyway I am proud of having this thing achieved, (almost) all by myself, hehe. I had to use some cheap-tricks on my CSS to make it work for IE (hate it!), but it was the only way, you always need to hack down IE (hate it more!). If you’d like to find out what I’m talking about you can check out the ALAP site, with different browsers and let me know what you think…

Photoshop Course?

Lozbo — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 00:25:04 +0000

I was suposed to be in a photoshop course, this week and the next one. But no one arrived (yes, I was the teacher), except the second day, two pupils showed up. But the course was cancelled for the lack of success, hehe.

Anyway, I think it’s better like this, I’ll save the time for other nonesenses, like posting @ wordpress dot com.

Fire up the Fox!

Lozbo — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 01:40:12 +0000

Well, I’ll do what I can to spread the fox.

Don’t be shy, do not hesitate, do not fear. Firefox has come to take back the web.

What is firefox? I hear some of you yell. A browser? No… Firefox is not a browser. Firefox is the browser.

Go get it, Yoda supports it.

“Be at ease, my young padawan. The power of the fox, do not fear. Click the ad you must… Mmmhh yes, yes Indeeeeeeeeeeeeeed…”

Ge Five (Becoming a Mac Geek)

Lozbo — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:02:41 +0000

Indeed, a few days back X-mas arrived to my Web Area. The power of a Mac G5 is unfolding before my bare eyes. Every passing day I become more convinced that this sweet taste of an Apple, was what my dull life lacked.

Seriously, as time goes by, I’m begining to spend more time with my G5. Think I’m falling in love… I’m already waiting for the second screen that was suposed to be part of the package, let’s see if it actually arrives some day…

I must get a camera. As soon as i rob one, I’ll post a pic of it.

Greetings

Lozbo — Sat, 14 Jan 2006 02:16:58 +0000

I bid thee welcome, make thyself at home.

No one should care about this, yet I see thee reading me. I sincerely hope thee not finding annoying any of my shed thoughts through this void weblog.

Now come, come, ‘couse I’m already waiting for thee…
