When do you introduce violence to a kid?
I think he makes nice remarks, it made me think about how will I raise my kinds, it's kind of hard to try to teach someone... When do you know it's the right time to introduce to sex? violence? murders? deaths? drugs? all those things kind of are hidden from lots of kids because of their parents, then they hear it on the news, listen to friends, learn it on the street... Since the day they are born? I don't think so.. you don't want to kill a kids innocence, but then when?
I don't blame music for anything, I'm a rocker/metalhead/headbanger whatever you call it, I listen to all sorts of death, black, heavy metal bands and many of those bands lyrics are nasty but that doesn't mean I'll go and do what they say, I like the music, that's it, and the lyrics fit the music, you can't have pop lyrics on a cannibal corpse song, wtf... It's the way the kid is raised, the enviorment, the friends, the family and all that together what makes the listener think for themselves and to have a good point of view on what's right and wrong. But what's right or wrong? Well I guess you have to go with feelings 'cause it changes from person to person, I guess the common good is - don't hurt people.
Live and let live, help out each other... We all still have a long way to go to become the perfect world I guess we all dream about.
Peace.

My new journey: Coding for Half life 2
First I had a fun time searching for the SDK, turns out, it is available on Steam so this differs on how half life 1 was, which created a little difficulty for me trying to find it... Especially since I get frustrated when something I think it's simple is not the first link that comes up on google when I search for it :)
Anyway... Follow the instructions here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SDK_Installation
Pretty much just download the SDK and install it... I'm almost possitive 100% is the SDK and not SDK base... I think according to this link http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_SDK_Base
That it's pretty much using the latest SDK for your mod but I don't know if they mean it hasn't been tested through or if it's like a beta stage... I don't think I should care about that too much at this point so...
On other news: I graduated for my Master's degree in Computer Information Systems - personal hi 5. And now I'm looking for a job, and pretty much that's why I'm coding now, I think I can learn this, it's hard but giving up without even trying is not what you are supposed to do according to movies :)
Best of luck to all of you new comers to coding, including myself :)
I'll keep updating, provably not all the time 'cause it might be boring, but I'll do my best, that way I can keep track of what I've done too XD

Getting Sansa to work on Vista
I have the Sansa e270 but I think this should work with all versions. Now, on MSC mode it works as a flash card pretty much... You can copy copy and paste your songs into the music folder.. the problem is when you want to transfer pictures and movies to it. MSC won't work on Sansa Media Converter... for this you have to change the USB mode to MTP.
To do so, go to Settings -> USB Mode -> Switch to MTP if not in there... this is the mode that Sansa Media Converter will detect (after you follow the next steps).
First I installed Sansa Media Converter, that's for sure, the version I installed came on the CD and it's 1.2.1.74. And it wouldn't detect my player. Nor in MSC or MTP mode. BTW make sure you don't loose your CD because SanDisk doesn't provide Sansa Media Converter on their website... or at least I couldn't find it... Provably getting the newer version from ArcSoft will save you some time, but I didn't have to do that, and I saved myself about $30 just by browsing around the web, so I hope this guide helps you.
I also installed the Sansa Firmware Updater, which I don't know if it came with the CD or not... but you can get it here. But I didn't update the firmware. I updated it afterwards. (To update you'll need to be on MSC mode). It works with the firmware update too so don't be afraid to do it.
Anyway... I did two more things, the first was that I did what this guy said:
"OK. So far I like Vista and I have had no software or hardware issues, except for my e270.
I have been trying to get my Sansa to work with Vista for a week now (it still works fine with XP.) I would plug it it and the driver installation would pop up, but it would fail to find the drivers. The e270 would show up in device manager (twice, since I have a microSD card in it) under Other Devices, and would have the yellow exclamation point declaring that there was a driver problem.
I recently had a problem installing Daemon-Tools. The virtual CD-ROMs weren't showing up in explorer, even though device manager showed them as being installed.
After some research in the Daemon-Tools forums I found the solution to fix the virtual drives. I turned off all Daemon-Tools virtual drives, deleted "c:\windows\inf\infcache.1", and turned the virtual drives back on. They got reinstalled, and they are working fine now.
I just plugged in my Sansa, and now Windows installed the drivers without any errors. Woo-hoo!
Note: I have read that infcache.1 should be safe to delete, as it is just a cache file. However, I take no responsibility if it screws anything up." unknownsoldierX from Anything But iPod forums.
And either that or the following made it work:
I installed RiverPast Crazi Video for Sansa...
Info here about that program
and you can download a trial here
Try to restart your system, the Sansa, unplug it and plug it back in if Media Converter still doesn't see it. But this should work.
Since I'm not sure which solution did it... And I don't want to try it again... Please leave a comment if you read this on what exactly did you do.. Help some other people out... That's what I'm trying here... :)
I also don't remember the order I followed... sorry I can't be more specific but if you are trying to get your Sansa to work on Vista this will provably work... It's working for me and I really hope you can get it to work on Vista too.

HTML expand collapse tutorial
OK It's actually made using Javascript... don't be scared it's very easy, I hope this helps someone.
All you need to do: On your HTML file, inside your <head>... add the following:
<script langauge="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function toggleList(id){
if(document.getElementById){
var element = document.getElementById(id);
if(element){
element.style.display =(element.style.display == 'none')?'':'none';
}}}
</script>
<head>
...
The code above
...
</head>
<text>Expand -Collapse</text> <a href="javascript:toggleList('idname')">[+/-]</a></strong>
<ul id="idname" style="display:block">
Stuff to be expanded/collapsed goes here.
</ul>
IF YOU WANT MORE THAN ONE simply change idname to idname2, idname3, etc on the code above on both places it appears, for example:
<text>Expand -Collapse</text> <a href="javascript:toggleList('idname2')">[+/-]</a></strong><ul id="idname2" style="display:block">
Stuff to be expanded/collapsed goes here.
</ul>
That's it... I used the code from http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=292894
If you have any questions, drop a comment, or if you feel anything should be added or removed, I'll gladly change it.

Think about life
While you live think about shit
I saw that today in some public bathroom, but I decided to rephrase it...
While you shit, think about life, but while you live, don't think about shit.
Be productive when you can, and do what you want.

My searches
The hardest thing to find sometimes is the music on movie trailers and I love those so... expect some of those... for now I'll just post my latest one:
The song on the XBOX 360 Guitar Hero trailer, the one with the cartoons playing some music... It's Wolfmother - Woman... That one I found by looking at the comments on youtube :)
Nice song, I like Guiter Hero, it presents many music genres to people and it's fun... I haven't played the two player mode but I've heard it's sick.

Los corruptos destruyeron Venezuela, pero es nuestro trabajo componerla, crear cultura y cuidar.
Aqui se los dejo:

That's all for now, Salaam,

Yo no miro cuando me limpio
Son libres de pasarlo a quien quieran solo den el credito que merece.
Yo no miro cuando me limpio
Las necesidades primarias son las mismas para todos: dormir, comer y cagar. Y aunque todas son muy buenas ésta última tiene características mucho más particulares que las demás, es decir; todos comemos, unos son desordenados, otros pulcros; todos dormimos, unos roncan otros se tapan la cara con almohadas; pero el lujo de cagar tiene muchas manías, desde que uno siente la necesidad de ir al baño, todo cambia.
Interesante que cuando ésta necesidad llama, cada quien tiene su maña, unos lo hacen antes de bañarse, otros después, algunos son como los pajaritos que apenas comen van al baño, unos se bajan el pantalón hasta las rodillas, hasta los tobillos, se los quitan, se desnudan, algunos por ahí se fuman un cigarrito, dos, tres, la caja si tienen diarrea. Yo soy del tipo común, a mi me gusta una buena lectura mientras estoy en el trono, lo que me den pa' leer en el baño es bueno, una revista, un libro, algo que me tenga que estudiar, lo que sea... aveces antes de ir a lo mio busco algo que leer, esto aveces es un corre corre porque el mojón no tiene nada que leer, es como un coñito en la playa mientras le echan el bloqueador, lo que quiere es ir directo al agua. Y
Me ha pasado que se me olvida agarrar la respectiva revista, aveces entro a miar y termino cagando, y me toca leer las de mi Mamá (sí, ella tambien lee cagando, que bonita herencia no?), gracias a esas revistas me sé los chismes mas recientes del espectáculo... no que me importen pero qué hago si no agarre mi lectura me tengo que conformar con lo que hay, otras veces no hay revistas cerca o me tocó ir de urgencia al baño por apuro (la popular diarrea) y me sale leer los ingredientes del champú, jabón y crema dental, sabían que el ingrediente más común del champú es el lauril solfato de sodio, qué me importa esa verga? bueno a manera de información general sepan que es el mismo componente que usan para limpiar dentro de MOTORES INDUSTRIALES, ya se pa la próxima que se me acabe el champú me puedo hechar 3 en 1...
Otra cosa que me ha llamado la atención es que cuando la gente caga, se limpia y mira el papel, dejenme repetir eso, MIRA EL PAPEL... Por qué? Por qué esa mala costumbre? Osea yo entiendo que a la cuarta o quinta "pasada" uno mire a ver como va el "trabajo", pero la primera o segunda vez no tiene sentido, si el papel "resbaló" lo mas seguro es que venga coloreado de marrón o no? pa' qué mirar si resbaló. A veces los mojones son tan duros que ni ensucian las nalgas, uno se limpia y el papel queda blanquito, en esos casos vuelvan a ponerlo en el rollito porque cuando se les acabe el papel, ese pedacito que quedó blanco les va a hacer falta.
Cuando se acaba el papel, de eso cada quien tiene su cuento y si no me creen pregunten, A TODO EL MUNDO se le ha acabado el papel, unos se han limpiado con bolsas, otros con medias, periódicos, papel bond... a mi en el colegio me toco con hojas de cuaderno. Pero lo peor es cuando no hay nadie en la casa a quien pegarle un grito para que te traiga un rollito de papel y te toca ir al otro baño de la casa con el pantalón arrastrando y sacando el culo pa' no ensuciarte más. Es tan común que a alguien le pase que el que trae el papel ya sabe que hacer, lo deja al bordesito de la puerta, toca y se va.
Pocas cosas son mejores que un buen peo cagando, de esos que uno cierra las piernas para que el olor no te de, lo malo es que TE VA A DAR porque la posición normal que una persona tiene al sentarse a cagar es la siguiente (y haganlo mientras leen esto por favor para que la experiencia sea completa) codos en rodillas y las manos en la barbilla, miren hacia abajo y fijense ahora de que NO HAY ESCAPE, la nariz queda apuntando perfectamente a la ZONA DE PELIGRO. El que diseñó las pocetas debe ser alguien que está muy orgulloso
¿Alguna vez se han imaginado a alguien cagando ? Haganlo, no es fácil, uno normalmente no piensa en alguien y dice "¿Como cagará?", "¿se limpiara de alante pa tras ó de atras pa lante?".
Yo creia que era difícil escribir con la mano contraria a la que uno normalmente lo hace pero traten de limpiarse con la mano contraria... ESO si es difícil. Es tan dificil
Bueno al final la satisfacción es buenisima, cuando sale el que estaba duro es sabroso y queda uno livianito con una sonrisa de oreja a oreja y orgulloso
Pero haganlo
