Stupid thing ever. again

2009-08-21T15:06:15Z

Why do I bother trying to fix my computer?
It was runnung perfectly but sometimes it hanged applications. So I decided to install newer drivers. Fine worked.
And since I was up to, I tried to update BIOS to fix some minor errors. Bricked.
Why did I think CrashFree BIOS wasnt just a marketing plot? Stupid me.
Sent the motherboard for repairs, I think they can reprogam the damn stupid bastard bios, but I am afraid they may want to charge for a new motherboard.

Can I reprogram my BIOS chip using a serial cable?

No I am not that smart, if I were I would be rich by now and either way wouldnt be programming stuff by myself. I had money I would send other people to work for me.

Be an artist

2009-07-16T13:54:04Z

Someone once asked me how to start being an artist. Well, actually as I have read the best way is understanding reality, if you wanna be a pencil and rubber type artist, try studing the nature, the world first. Once ou got it, once you are able to draw the perfect reality by copying a photography or a scene, the you can start altering and creating things new, but not before.
By creating new I mean drawing anthropomorphics and fantasy themed pictures, it will help you a lot to start with the real then jumping to the unreal.
And train, and know your tools. Good pictures does not mean good equipment, means you know how to use it well.

Time goes by

2009-06-29T14:41:55Z

This weekend I went 6 hours from home to photograph a cousin marriage, it is funny that life is passing by and I am still the same loser, with no money no real job, no car no nothing. The party and church celebration was nice and all, it made great photos and in the end I will print a book give to them and continue my puny life.

Sao Paulo, another world

2009-03-03T23:45:54Z

It is about two years now, and I think I can say that I have seen what is this city about.

I have been raised in a small town, south from Brasil, a town called Blumenau, in the state of Santa Catarina, this town is very small in comparison to São Paulo, but pretty big compared to other colonial cities. Blumenau is a slow pace town, that basically lives out of commerce since they do not manufacturate much there one or other heavy machinery and some clothes. Or rather Brazil the whole do not manufactures anything, the farthest I can say is that we assemble pieces other fabricate, well this isn´t much of a honorable thing, but this is how this country works. export primary stuff such as corn, soy, fish, sugar and metals and import chinese crap, like nike shoes, car pieces and computer parts.

Back to São Paulo, the life here is very different from Blumenau, here the salary is very low, demand is very high, and only management jobs do pay something, for that matter people here work like slaves and live a very stressed life, plus the city is a mess trafficwise, in Blumenau stores usually open around 7 to 8am while here in Sao Paulo stores usually open from 9 to 10 am why? Simple because everything is too far away and public transportation is a failure, one takes about 3 hours to get to the workplace it is a chaos. And people here are very much more consumist, nowhere Ive seen so many nomad stores, a nomad store is someone who doesnt pay taxes to the government, it is like a popcorn stand in a circus, but they infestes everywhere in the city, usually near crowded areas such as metros. They sell all sort of stuff, usually stolen stuff, from socks to cell phones and french fries they run off when the police arrives kicking and shooting them, but then São Paulo is a very commercial city, with lots of banks and offices.

Other parts of the country aint that populous, they have their cities, much like blumenau, they have theirs own life a different life, better life, all but Rio de Janeiro, who lives off drugs and prostitution. The bad part of all is that one rarely see anything Made in Brazil, specially electronics, when there is some it´s a lie, it was only assembled here, and badly I must say with bad cheap parts and bad solding. But then how does Brazil can be put into the list of evolving countries?

Who knows.

I bet it shouldnt.

Dragonheart

2009-02-14T17:16:37Z

I have never been fond of the Dragonheart movie itself, but since there was some few nice actors and a dragon I bought the DVD.
It was long since I have watched the movie both first one and the second one, however, today when I was at the clothing store (returning some clothes that didnt fit me) for some mysterious reason the Dragonheart 2 was on TV, it took me a few minutes to figure out what movie was about, since I couldnt ever guess that such a movie would be on tv, but seeing the silly hatchling face again made me rummage thru my old stuff and watch the movie again.
It still sucks, but it is worth.

Dragonlance

2009-02-10T19:02:48Z

Surfing itunes store I rediscovered my passion for Dragonlance series, with Tracy HickmanВґs Dragon Hearth and the Dragonlance Canticles.
Also decides to buy of the last dragonlance audiobooks, and maybe watch the movie they made around a yr ago. I know itВґs super crappy but I am curious since IВґm a Tasslehoff big fan.

New clothing

2009-02-08T19:12:43Z

Just went to the Clothing square yeterday, and bought a load of new cheap clothes. I am aware that it wont endure more than half a year, its around 8 shirts ans 4 pants, but I really needed to change my wardrobe. not because I fancy clothes, but they were really ragful holey and dirty.

Today on life

2008-11-30T15:25:24Z

It´s beem long since I updated this blog, but whatever, things been hurry these days, class, bills, bills and bills, also work and work. I have this problem when I am worrking I dive too deep into it that I forget to check up rss email and other essential stuff. Even breathing.

Well lately that´s on the news: My hometown is flooded, october-november is the rain time, it means that flood is predictable, who lives at lower areas WILL have their homes flooded, and that´s what happened there. But since I am like 9 hours from there, studing in Sao Paulo, I only have some news from there, the interesting of it all is that since everyone has a cell cam I can just go into YOUTUBE and do a search on blumenau+enchente and I get all the news I need to know along some blogs.

Other than that, here in the not so muddy town, I have been photographing some crap, as always and you can see it at flickr.com/photos/jrrhack if you wish.

Complains complains, what else i do?

2008-08-13T13:30:10Z

Basically I still did not get any job yet, not looking for it too much tho, I think I am too lazy and kinda afraid of not being accepted and shit. well, the classes are on the final stage and I do not know what will I do after that, money is short, I am basically broke barely having money to pay for food and studies. and still not working, I suck.

Bad things and bad people

2008-05-27T09:59:12Z

Last day 19 I was returning from a trip and someone inside the same bus I was stole my bag with all my photo stuff inside. After what happened I am very angry and depressed since there was some expensive equipment there.

Many best wishes

2008-02-10T23:06:34Z

This year I received an uncommon number of `Happy Birthday` messages, from everyone I have on MSN, Livejournal, RL and more. It´s interesting, because it never happened before, and this year I didnt do anything about party or dining out, no money for that, not even for teh bus, but it´s good to receive many good wishes, Thanks everyone who sent me messages, I really apreciated it.

Abando 2008

2008-02-06T12:18:13Z

The first Fur con ever ended with total success, Reyres, Jrrhack, Ekevu, Isra, Toboe and Angstrom made the project somewhere in march 2007 and decided that we would gather the many furry possible from all Brazil and gather in Sao Roque for a 4 day camping with activities, awards and games.
It was so much fun that people wanted it was more days than that. It is good to know that next year probably we will double the number.
We had some people from the same city, but many came from distant places such as Curitiba, Manaus, Toronto, Goiania and Campo Mourao, many travelled hours on plane to get here, what is great!

Return from the island

2008-01-24T01:57:53Z

Just spent my last seven days out pf this world, on an island working as volunteer for a Eco Education project from USP the local University.
Once there I met some wonderful people, very interesting new things I have never heard of, and best of all, got to swim and scuba diving.
The project is a research along with teaching the park tourists about how important is the nature for our world and how to visit a national park without causing any impact to the nature, like drying starfishes or stepping over mollusks.
The bad side of it was the lack of electric energy, computer, hot shower and decent food, since it is an island 45 minutes away from the continent only reachable by boat, human resources are very tiny.

Last class day

2007-11-25T23:26:59Z

Saturday was our last day at Panamericana School, we went to a freind´s apartment and we had a small party with bbq. The bad side is that I drank a bit more than I should, missed the last subway back home and slept in the train. In the end I had to take a cab and spend some big bucks to return home. Yeah alcohol is bad don´t drink it.

Last sunday I went to the Villa Lobos Park to make some shots for a friend and yesterday I sent him the link with some packed pictures. He and some friends are training football and wanted some piccies for his website, they replied and liked the pictures a lot. Good to know when customers are happy.
