Okay, this is another personal blog. I have some technical related posts cooking, but that will have to wait.

I was supposed to write more often in this piece of Weblog, but well life is not always as you expected it to be… but in many ways life is good.

Let’s get started and be more concrete, I have been very busy at work and things in someways are getting better but on the other hand I have realized of some injustices and company practices that I am not really fond of. Anyway, I feel I am learning a lot and so far I’ve been given a very good feedback from my superiors.

Not all news are good though, I applied to some grad school (like 3, really) I sincerely believed I had a chance in one of them, But so far I have been rejected from the waitlist of one of my favorites. I still waiting for the answer of another, but I don’t really believe I’m gonna get in. Anyway, my plan keeps intact. I have good chances to enter in the Msc. program another world renowned University for next. This year I did not applied  because of time and financial issues.

Enterprise experience has been not as good as I expected, but I have learned a lot, not technical really, but how the things are done in Big Companies (The processes suck anyway). So, I will be in Colombia for at least another year. The objetive this year is to publish a article related to my thesis (link in a future) in a international journal so I will have a stronger CV.

As for the Job, I think will be using Java and JNI (so we can code some function in C). The client wanted speed but the lot of boilerplate and non-functional code needed to carry on the the tasks was just outrageous. (I bet you have never done a SQL-query from C to a Oracle database).

That’s all for the last month in my life. Well I got sick but I am better now. That’s something to be grateful for.
