Yesterday, I wasn’t even thinking about preparing nothing special for christmas (specially because Anderson ripped out of me). Just a bottle of cava to skype-toast with my family in Spain. But suddenly, some kind of christmas-rush attacked me and I ended up looking for some roasted animal (preferably chicken) for dinner. My answer was “DAIEI” a slightly-pricey store near my house.

We accompanied the dinner with a delicious wine of Ribera del Duero by Josemari

Before becoming Santa for a day (come back for a post later), I decided to eat a bento on the park right before the river. Lately, temperature is back to normal.

I was thinking that living in Japan and in Kagoshima, far away from Tokyo, having even a tiny feeling of a Christmas spirit was too much to ask for. But today I went to Inamori Academy I was happy to discover that Santa is among as.

Borrowed from Jay’s Facebook.

That’s the time I have to read this book, 3 weeks. The book is “Computer Science handbook” by Allen B. Tucker, and consists of a compilation of articles covering what is computer science nowadays. Is it possible to read a 2500 pages book in 3 weeks? I guess not… But I’m gonna try it.

The fact is that the book costs about 20000 yen, and even getting it on eBay was difficult, so I asked the libray in my university to find it in another university’s library. The problem is that it’s just for a limited period and I have to give it back by January 5th…

Here is a better take of our Christmas volcano, snow on the right, ash explosion on the left

I few weeks ago, I went with Hyang Sun to some sort of event in Ijuin, for selling Korean foods and stuff for one of the best Korean Restaurants I’ve ever been too, Omoni (map here).

We sold a huge amount of Kimchi, and also we had some time to go around the “festival” and enjoy the events around: tutored pottery, amateur music, … I even got to make a bottle, or whatever ~~

That’s the fact, we’re going down and down every freaking day. 2 days ago, we were enjoying a “warmy” temperature of 20 degrees in Kagoshima, yesterday the temperature drop more than 7 degrees to reach 12 degrees during daylight, and today we have some great 6-9 degrees (I know there are worse places Tim!!). We’re talking about an almost 15 degrees drop in 2 days and a half, is that normal?

We iPhone firmware 3.0 came out, I decided to jailbreak it just to try out the tethering and of course for using the phone with a spanish SIM while ins Spain. Then I realized some features were working slower or not properly and went back to Jail.

But a few weeks ago I needed the tethering back so badly that I tried the new unlocker called blackra1n for iphone 3.1.2, and I was happily surprised about how easy and fast it was.

1. Kill any itunes related process running in your pc (I do not own a mac, sadly) with the taskmanager.
2. Connect the iPhone to the PC, and run blackra1n directly downloaded from blackra1n.com.
3. The device will switch to some kind of jailbreaking mode, and in less than a minute, the Iphone will reboot itself and you’ll be ready to go.
4. Now you’ll find a new app in your iPhone called blackra1n, run and choose which free store you want to use: Cydia, Icy y/o RockApp. I’ve just used Cydia so don’t know much about the others, but people says Rock is also a good one.

“I’m back”??? Am I am back? have I been anywhere? Well yes and no, I was in Spain in August (few! so you’re the guy who didn’t post since last summer… ) yes that’s me! In the meantime, I’ve pretty busy, not so much productive, but busy after all.

That’s it, what were you expecting!
