Some songs what i like

4U Raduska , soon you will understand it :-*

De sobras sabes que eres la primera,
que no miento si juro que daría
por ti la vida entera,
por ti la vida entera;
y, sin embargo, un rato, cada día,
ya ves, te engañaría
con cualquiera,
te cambiaría por cualquiera.

Ni tan arrepentido ni encantado
de haberme conocido, lo confieso.
Tú que tanto has besado
tú que me has enseñado,
sabes mejor que yo que hasta los huesos
sólo calan los besos
que no has dado,
los labios del pecado.

Porque una casa sin ti es una emboscada,
el pasillo de un tren de madrugada,
un laberinto
sin luz ni vino tinto,
un velo de alquitrán en la mirada.

Y me envenenan los besos que voy dando
y, sin embargo, cuando
duermo sin ti contigo sueño,
y con todas si duermes a mi lado,
y si te vas me voy por los tejados
como un gato sin dueño
perdido en el pañuelo de amargura
que empaña sin mancharla tu hermosura.

No debería contarlo y, sin embargo,
cuando pido la llave de un hotel
y a media noche encargo
un buen champán francés
y cena con velitas para dos,
siempre es con otra, amor,
nunca contigo,
bien sabes lo que digo.

Porque una casa sin ti es una oficina,
un teléfono ardiendo en la cabina,
una palmera
en el museo de cera,
un éxodo de oscuras golondrinas.

Y cuando vuelves hay fiesta
en la cocina
y bailes sin orquesta
y ramos de rosas con espinas,
pero dos no es igual que uno más uno
y el lunes al café del desayuno
vuelve la guerra fría
y al cielo de tu boca el purgatorio
y al dormitorio
el pan de cada día.

Since this video was made, some things have changed (stats), but it stills shows our great diversity of nature, ethnical races, and many other things.

 

¡¡¡VIVA MEXICO!!!

Microsoft Regional Architect Forum México 2007

The past 14 and 15 of June where the third RAF in México City, this time (my first time there) where focused on S+S (Software plus Services).

The RAF was a high level event which gathered more than 100 key architects of the leading technological industries in the republic.

The introduction text for this where:

“The services are everywhere and they have become into an indispensable artifact of every kind of business’ technical strategies. The global collaboration is directing the organizations to become service providers.

The business applications – software which integrates this into handy processes – are using components of a deeply heterogeneous network and continuously growing of providers. To get the higher provecho of the S + S model we need to answer several fundamental questions about the way of this services should be provided and consumed to reach the objective of our business.”

• How are the applications which consumes external services and what is what the providers requires?
• How is managed and governed a portfolio of services which extends beyond the organizations borders?
• How S+S foments the productivity directed to the peoples and which metamorphosis are suffering the organizations now when the power of this new technologies are available for everyone?

Wednesday 14 of June 2007

The first conference where of Gianpaolo Carraro, he where talking about the “Next generation software, an Architect’s perspective”.

Alberto Borbolla where talking about the Microsoft ESB Implementation instead of Marty Wasznicky (he had problems in some flight connection and couldn’t be present).

Eduardo Kassner where talking about the “Value of an dynamic infrastructure”, showing us an success case of HSBC México made following the ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library, the most widely accepted approach to IT management) Microsoft’s version “Infrastructure Optimization Model” with their 4 stages of maturity  and the importance of follow guidelines to improve business reliability.

After this we went to eat at the Thai House, when we finished I went to the demonstration session about “New paradigms of the data access and data manipulation for architects” by Gabriel Esparza Romero. There he showed us how easy is to use the new LINQ to make queries in XML and SQL with the visual studio codename Orcas. This have great potential about using this to get a more OO concept of data and manipulation / querying it to get what we need; Right now I have two applications which could be made more easily using DLINQ.

Eduardo Kassner’s next talk where about the Infrastructure Optimization model, the importance of suit every requirement on each stage of the maturity, reason?, simply; You will not be able to suit higher requirements, processes and control if you don’t suit the fist and basics;

“The Infrastructure Optimization Model helps customers realize dramatic cost savings for their IT infrastructure by moving from an unmanaged environment towards a dynamic environment. Security improves from highly vulnerable in a Basic infrastructure to dynamically proactive in a more mature infrastructure.”

IT infrastructure management changes from highly manual and reactive to highly automated and proactive.

Friday 15 of June 2007

This day the session were shorter but not for that less important, we started with Mark Baciak (is an architect on Microsoft’s Architecture Strategy Team specializing in service orientation and enterprise dynamics) talking about the infrastructure behind a service oriented architecture.

After him Ric Merrifield taked to us about “Getting SOA through Business Value”, unfortunately I couldn’t listen almost anything because I where attending a work call outside the hall.

After this talk, Karthik Ravindran exposed “architecting and implementing user & process centric business applications using the office 2007 system”.

The last session where about “Business architecture to sustenance the competitively of México” by PhD. Ricardo zermeño talking about the current situation of the country against the others in the world and the plan to 15 years to become one of the 20th most important economies of the world by improving the technology and the business governability.

After this, Juan Carlos Lozada closed the event, telling us the statistics and a brief history about the event.

We went to eat at the Thai House again, but I had the luck of being sited with the VIP!, here are the descriptions:

From the left to the right:

Karthik Ravindran, architect in the strategic architecture focused in business applications (Microsoft).

Gabriel Esparza-Romero, Test lead in the C# team, is in charge right now of the LINQ implementation (Microsoft).

Unknown guy

From left to right:

Consultant (nice guy)

Armando Chavez, S. Developer.

And I don’t remember the names of the other 2 guys, but they lead the DOT NET COMMUNITY on the city (INETA).

I’m tired of writing all this, also for searching links to the post, so for a small resume:

This was a great opportunity to have another point of view about Information technology (IT), the perspective about building more efficient, secure, reliable and expandable applications and infrastructure. I got with this a great experience trough sharing and learning from other people and business problems and solutions.

I’m waiting for the next year and be able to give them better feedback and questions regarding architecture and processes.

For those who want to become a business architect AKA software / infrastructure architect, visit the Microsoft’s SKYSCRAPR website, where you will get the introduction and training to become one.

Also to get a subscription to “The Architecture Journal” a publication made by MS to the enterprise architects, or to get more information, go here and suit your needs of knowledge.

My new mobile, Nokia N95

Finally today I got my mobile, I where waiting long time for it, I’ve got the N95 in Mexico and I’m using the same sim card than before without problems!!.

I’ve able to use MSN messenger, and Google talk with the wifi connection using Fring, not only that, I where able to talk with my girlfriend using the voice service of GT!. that was great! but best of all… its free!.

Also I’ve downloaded the Nokia’s SportsTracker software which is made to have tracking of the sport activities (I know the name says that), but its a very cool app, it can show you in a map with a blue line where you where, in other screens shows charts about speed and other tings, also other nice information. I do not practice sports… I’ve downloaded it because using it you can export your path to Google Earth and see where you was.

The only issue what I had… was the Nokia’s MapLoader, an app which is supposed to download the maps what you select into the mobile.

I’ve selected the Mexico’s maps and started the download… the software said “1hour 50 minutes”… for 64mb so long!!?? ok, I thinked, its fine.. but god! right now have been more than 7 hours and not only that, not the count down is not more, now its count up!… yes, when I took the following screens I had -10 minutes with -19 seconds to wait… right now is on -19minutes and -47 seconds…

This is really a hell… until it finish (if it does), I tell you more.

I’ve downloaded Mobiola Webcam an app which can transform the symbian mobile and windows mobile 5 or 6 into a high quality webcam!!!

FINALLY!!! it finished!!!! (The maps download)

GPS Notes

The first time took me very long time, like 20 or 30 minutes to get a lock with the satellites, after that is “faster” taking about 3 or 4 minutes if I’m not at moving and 10 to 15 if I’m moving in a car / bus.

See the GPS information to see if you’ve got lock by the color of the bars, if they are filled in black you are ready to use it, if not.. wait…

To see the photos taken with my N95, look in the right frame where I’ve got my Flickr pictures.
