I went to see it more than two weeks ago, but due to problems with my DSL and my Internet Provider, I couldn’t almost update my blog.

I have to admit I went to see the film with some preconception in mind (western cowboys, a gay movie and so on). But I think I did with as much prejudice as many other people. Prejudice which went away completely after about quarter an hour. If you’re expecting to see hard scenes, you will feel it quite boring. In fact, some people found it a bit slow.

I simply felt it was a story about two people who loves each other.

Synopsis: Brokeback mountain, by Ang Lee, tells a story about two unemployed cowboys, Ennis del mar (Heart Ledger, who also playedThe Grimm Brothers and The Patriot) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal, whom I always seen on a supporting role, like in The Good Girl) who are hired to work in the underground by a livestock farmer to look after his sheeps in Brokeback mountain (a place where it’s forbidden to do it, by the way).

As long as days pass and weather conditions becomes harder, the both share more time together, which makes that, from having almost no communication at all, they slowly start a friendship.

After a week with my DSL line off, and following other net-mates suggestions, my DSL is back, with another provider.
For being sincer, it’s been somewhat quick. Don’t know whether ranting here (the previous -Spanish only, sorry- post) is related, or simply things are changing in Spain. But the truth is, to be fair, YA.COM, my previous provider did well regarding my DSL service.

I don’t still know whether my money will be back for the extra charges, but, well, at least can be connected now.

So, lets go on!

Update: I’ve switched back to my previous theme, Journalized Nostalgic, as it seems to work better. :S

This post is a rant about my ISP provider and domestic issues with Spanish ISPs. It makes no sense to translate into English. If you’re interested and can read Spanish, click on the Spanish flag to read it.

Interesting, this free (as in Beer) version of Plasma Pong - Final Prototype, via Fresqui (a Spanish Digg clone).

I gave it a try, and found it really interesting. You not only play the classic pong. This time you do it into some kind of fluid, and not only have to dump the ball, but also can hold it, or repel it propelling a fluid stream, that can return the ball back to your opponent in an umpredictable trajectory.

The program requires some CPU power, since it calculates fluid mechanics in real time, using OpenGL. The pictures are somewhat neat, as shown below.
