Beyond Juslibol

Filed under: Freak, Games, Personal — jaime @ 7:35 pm

In the previous post I was writing about old Macintosh computers. Well, one of the things you could do with them was playing Beyond Juslibol.

One of the best games ever. It was basically the reason why I finally studied Industrial Engineering at CPS. I managed to finish the game before starting my career, so I already knew some of the teachers and several tricks to pass the subjects :-)

By the way, it was completely programmed by industrial engineering students. At that time you couldn’t study computer engineering at CPS. And, as you can appreciate, industrials program better :-D

Old times

Oh my! I can’t describe how I feel remembering System 6 times.

System 6 was one of the OS you could run in a Macintosh Plus or in a Macintosh SE. Well, you actually *can* if you have one. In my case I own four of this cute little things (three SE’s and one Plus).

Getting things done

Filed under: Personal — jaime @ 4:34 pm

The same way lots of people did, I wrote down some things I wanted to accomplish before the end of 2008. Namely:

  • Finish last subjects (6): I’ve already written 2 exams and I think I’ve past them but we’ll see.
  • Find a nice Final Project and write it: Not even started.
  • Find a job: I’m working now for SICUZ (computer service at my university), but I meant a “real” job.
  • Read more frequently, it doesn’t matter the language (Spanish or English). I’ve almost finished The Fugitive Game, by Jonathan Littman.
  • Do sports. Only two days of skiing during Christmas break and some surfing for sure next summer, but I need something else during the year. Swimming or fitness perhaps? (Bencer, Isaac, Soraya?) ;-)
  • Travel a lot. I’ve to go to Germany to pass ITV (compulsory car check). Yes, my car is German (thanks, Uli) :-D
  • Meet my friends more often. Trying to, but not during examination time.
  • Join free projects. Nowadays, only Brutalix and trying Open Street Map.
  • Learn German. I’ll try to take some language courses.
  • Revise my knowledge in geography.
  • Use my bike more often (instead of bus/car). Already doing. I had some problem with my lungs (due to my trip to Venezuela) but I’m pretty ok now and go everywhere by bike.
