Something that really annoys me is to be underestimated. I don’t like to be overestimated either, but when they underestimate me really feel they are looking down on me.

If that came from someone you appreciate, then it does not annoys me. It hurts.

I guess It’s time to move forward…

I yesterday went to vote (of course). I decided to give my vote to the Green Party (an action many of us decided since we are not happy with other political parties). I knew in Spain my vote would be rather symbolic, but that was what I wanted to do.

Well, when getting the ballot, this is what I found:

Los Verdes is Spanish for The Green people. But I stumbled upon two similar ballots. They not only named almost the same: their logo is almost identical (a sunflower).

Now a simple quiz:

• Which are the True Los Verdes y and which the false ones?
• Is this *shit legal? (It seems it is, and this says a lot about our laws)
• Is this Political rebranding? Or have they gone to far?
• Don’t they realize that people are really fed up of so much mass-media manipulation? This is over. Now it’s time to fool the voter, isn’t it?

Los Verdes – Grupo Verde Europeo already warned about this. I also read of it in Barrapunto (a Spanish slashdot-like site).

The final result: I didn’t know what did I vote until I got home and looked it up on the internet (and, fortunately, I chose what I wanted).

This post explains my decision to quit from administering the Computer Science Engineering Regulation forum, in Spain. Basically, I’m overbusy, and tired. On the other hand, I also have the feeling I’m pursuing others people’s interests rather than my own ones.

So it’s time, anyway, to pass the baton to other people. From now on, the A.A.I.C. association will be in charge of the forum.

I’ll be here an there, and will enter occasionally. But it’s time to work much harder in my PhD.
See ya!

In a previous post I wrote about the singularity. I think this short shows what could it be like… and I know it’s what Edanna is expecting… I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
