Today I took a bus to Monteverde (actually Santa Elena town). The weather is quite different here in the mountains than it was in the jungle+beach in Corcovado (Drake bay). Warm but peaceful. I did canopy this evening, which is moving among the trees using a rope and a pulley. It was interesting, but more… Read More »
I took a airplane from San José to Palmar, then a car to Sierpe, and then a boat to Drake Bay (near Corcovado natural park) … and then I arrived to the Paradise. I mean, the real paradise. We had some heavy rain while in the boat, and the captain said “welcome to the rainforest”.… Read More »
I came back to San José, after a quite long trip by bus. My stay in the jungle was… intense. I took the opportunity to meet with some Go players in San José. They were so kind to invite me to have dinner, while playing some games. I was a bit stronger than them, so… Read More »
Today we took a boat to move along the rivers and channels of Tortuguero national park. We saw a lot of different birds, monkeys, some alligators (really close to the boat… I mean 1 meter) and some undefined animals (I can hardly remember all those names). Of course, I took pictures non-stop. All the tones… Read More »
Mr Columbus took 3 months to arrive to America. I took 11 hours, in the stomach of a giant ship. One day later, carrying some jet-lag, I took a bus and then a boat to arrive to Tortuguero, a small town among big rivers and an endless jungle… a place without cars and traffic lights.… Read More »

This is (hopefully) the last week of “my” winter. Next week I’ll be in Costa Rica, taking pictures jerkily to all those details of the green jungle. And when I’ll come back to the Mediterranean, 2 weeks later, the Sun will have done its homework. It would be nice to live 6 months in a… Read More »
Last weekend I took part in the Barcelona’s Go Tournament. As every year many people from Europe came to enjoy the nice weather of Barcelona, while playing some tough games. Three Koreans took the top positions, and among them, my Go (or Baduk) teacher, Lluis Oh 6 dan. My score was 2 wins from 5… Read More »
10 years ago, when I saw for the first time a Java program, the classical “Hello World!”, I thought for a moment “booo, it’s counterintuitive… you need to create a class just to say Hello”. Later I used to do all the nasty work with classes. But I never imagined something like the following: Malbolge,… Read More »
I’m used to read PDFs while in bed, on my Acer PDA. But its tiny resolution (320×240) didn’t help a clear reading, therefore I started to look for a bigger device, it must be easy to hold but not too big. So I avoided those e-readers, and focused on PDAs with bigger resolution. And then… Read More »
