La Perta Al Presidente

Si hace falta buscar un pretexto para dar sentido a un blog, este es de los mejores…
La fotografía, ese arte que es capaz de golpearnos con la más cruda realidad o transformar un rincón mediocre en un paraíso idealizado seguirá, no importa de que medio técnico se valga.
Especialmente a ella, a la fotografía, se dedicará este blog.
Porque siempre seguirá siendo el medio que nos permite ver que nuestros propios ojos.

Los Herederos De Groucho.

El genio del bigote pintado, el gran puro y enorme inteligencia, seguramente se quedaría boquiabierto al ver que lo que él parodiaba con tanto ingenio como humor en aquellos lejanos años 40 no solo se mantiene sino que parece aumentar.

Y si no qué opinar de la frasecita escuchada en un foro de ayuda a empresarios:
“El experto certificador, con cualificación de 6 digitos, emite un informe no vinculante de contenido Ex-ante que permitirá obtener el informe motivado vinculante que de acceso a la tramitación para la obtención de la deduccion fiscal aplicable”

¡¡Ufff!! me quedo sin aire y lo que es peor, empieza a faltarme el oxigeno en el cerebro.

Con este tipo de ayuda casi mejor que me dejen como estoy.

Groucho sigue de actualidad. Y es que su: “la parte contratante de la primera parte será considerada como la parte contratante de la primera parte”, tiene muchos seguidores.

¿Donde quedó el lenguaje simple, claro y llano?

El hijo de la sombra.

Palacete en ruinas. La Vega de Pas (CANTABRIA). chanclas
¿Quién lo ayuda a ir al cielo, por favor?
¿Quién puede asegurarle la otra vida?
Apiádense del hombre que no tuvo ni hijo ni árbol ni libro.

Sé quien pasó la vida maldiciendo recorriendo en silencio viejas calles,
de mujer en mujer, como un mendigo,
sin hijo ni árbol ni libro.
Sin hijo ni árbol ni libro.

Los hombres sin historia son la historia.
Grano a grano se forman largas playas y luego viene el viento y las revuelve,
borrando las pisadas y los nombres
sin hijo ni árbol ni libro.

Building Your Own Computer

If you are a computer geek you may be interested in building your own computer at some point. This can be done pretty easily and it is usually less expensive than buying a computer from a big computer maker such as Dell or Gateway. In addition you can customize it to meet your specific needs. Adding only the drives, inputs and memory that you need will save money and since you know how the computer is built, upgrading it will be easy when the time comes. Finally, building your own computer can be a great learning experience for anyone interested in electronics.

You may want to create a customized printed circuit board assembly. There are a number of companies that will print custom circuit boards. The boards are fairly inexpensive and you can usually get them printed in a week or two. This allows you to create the computer or other accessories that meet your specific needs. While it may be hard to find a local circuit board manufacturer, there are a number of them online that allow you to upload your design to their site and they will then ship the completed board to you.

In addition to a printed circuit board you will need a number of other components before you get started. Finding a wire harness fabricator will probably not be necessary, you can buy pre-built wiring harnesses at computer supply stores or online. In addition to the wiring harness you will need whatever drives, and inputs you have decided to add. Memory is pretty cheap these days so adding a large hard drive will not run up the cost. All of these items can be purchased locally or online. While you will often get a better deal online the wait for shipping can be frustrating.

Choosing a case for your computer is one way of adding some style and flair. They come in a variety of designs and price points. Keep an eye on what type of power supply you will be installing as well as cooling options and drive bays. There are plenty of box build assembly options on the market today. You can purchase a case in a variety of colors and styles. Find one that meets your color and style requirements as well as a price you can afford.

Once you have all of the components its simply a matter of constructing your new computer. There are plenty of sites that will walk you through the process step by step. If you get stuck, visit the forums until you find someone that can help you. In a worst-case scenario you can always take your half finished project to a computer repair center and let them finish the work. Building your own computer can be a challenge, everything from finding a PCB manufacturer to buying a monitor will

take some time but it will all be worth it when you boot up your new machine for the first time.

El curioso caso de …

La primera bomba atómica, lanzada sobre Hiroshima durante la segunda guerra mundial dejó unas 70.000 personas muertas al instante y causó otros 70.000 heridos en una población de 450.000 habitantes.
La de Nagasaki, por su parte produjo otros 40.000 muertes y 60.000 heridos de una población de 195.000 habitantes.

Pues bién, al menos hubo una persona, que se sepa, que estuvo expuesto a las dos explosiones y aún sobrevive.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi es su nombre. Se trata de un anciano japonés de 93 años. que está de moda estos dias por tener el dudoso honor de haber sido el único superviviente oficial vivo.
Tsutomu se encontraba en Hiroshima en un viaje de trabajo el día 6 de agosto de 1945, cuando el avión Enola Gay lanzó la primera bomba atómica. Sufrió quemaduras graves y pasó esa misma noche en el hospital, aunque al día siguiente pudo regresar a su casa en Nagasaki.
La fatalidad y la guerra hicieron que dos días mas tarde, el 9 de agosto cayera allí precisamente la segunda bomba.
La historia es verdaderamente terrible y nos puede llevar a variados analisis acerca de la estupidez humana, la crueldad de las guerras y muchas otras consideraciones.
Sin embargo al leer la noticia no puedo apartar de mi cabeza la imagen del anciano de la extraordinaria pelicula de David Fincher El Curioso Caso de Benjamin Button, que cuenta una y otra vez las veces que le han caído rayos a lo largo de su vida.
En la pelicula, por lo inverosimil, la narración del viejo en la frontera de la senilidad nos lleva a la sonrisa cuando no directamente a la carcajada.
Despues de conocer este caso, si se me permite llamarlo El Curioso Caso de Tsutomu Yamaguchi , habría que tomarse más en serio al personaje de la pelicula.

 

En esta vida, como en el cine, todo es posible.
