WARNING: Contains explicit language!De puta pena-. I want to thank Mallorca for playing a good game, but that f***ing Madrid and their luck this year was too much. My finnish friends know what I mean when I say: “Ne vitun Hannu Hanhet!” (In English: “Those Fucking Gladstone Ganders!”). We usually use that saying for the Swedish Ice hockey team, but it fits perfectly for this occasion as well. Even their outfit is perfect for a goose. I hate Real Madrid and I’m never going to watch a movie starring Tom Cruise again…!Well, it’s not the end of the world. I’ll be here in Barcelona next year when we win the league again…!

Today 17.6.2007 21:00 CET
Gimnàstic - Barcelona
Real Madrid - Mallorca

This is our last chance. If Madrid gets more points today, they’ll win la liga. We can’t let that happen…! So sing it with me.

Tot el camp
és un clam
som la gent blaugrana
tant se val d’on venim
si del sud o del nord
ara estem d’acord, estem d’acord
una bandera ens agermana
blaugrana al vent,
un crit valent
tenim un nom,
el sap tothom

BARÇA ! BARÇA ! BARÇA !

Jugadors,
seguidors,
tots units fem força
son molts anys plens d’afanys
son molts gols que hem cridat
i s’ha demostrat, s’ha demostrat
que mai ningú no ens podrà tòrcer
blaugrana al vent,
un crit valent
tenim un nom,
el sap tothom

BARÇA ! BARÇA ! BARÇA !

At the WWDC ‘07 (Apple WorldWide Developer Conference, 11-15.6.2007) Steve Jobs held a keynote to the developers. Steve revealed 10 new features about the upcoming Mac OS X operating system ‘Leopard‘.
- New Desktop: 3D-look, stacks, transparent and finally no more brushed metal, but a consistent new look instead.
- New Finder: New look, new sidebar, search built-in, etc…
- Quick Look: Documents can be looked without opening the application, even full-screen.
- Leopard fully 64-bit: First mainstream OS to go fully 64-bit. Speed improvements.
- Core Animation: Looks nice.
- Boot Camp: Integrated to Leopard, works like Parallels & VMWare. Apple is working closely with Parallels and VMWare.
- Spaces: Nice way to handle multiple desktops.
- Dashboard: New Movie Times-widget and the web clip we’ve seen before.
- iChat: new AAC-Low Delay codec, tabbed chats, photo booth effects, iChat theatre, and backdrops.
- Time Machine: Automated, works even over wireless.
Only one version of Leopard ($129). (Not like 7 different versions of Vista.)

Safari on Windows.
Public beta released today. Twice as fast as IE. (Sounds great to me. iTunes is already on of the most popular apps in the windows platform.)

iPhone and the developer apps.
No SDK for developers. Instead apps can be introduced using the newest web standards. iPhone has a full Safari engine and the apps can be done to look and feel almost the same like the built-in apps. (I think this approach can work and it’s sounds interesting.)

Also EA will be back on developing games for the Mac. Big game releases expected on July. Biggest games will be released at the same time for all the platforms (PC, Mac, PS3, XBOX 360). (Great news, but I’m not happy until I see Konami developing a Mac version of PES!)

One exam done this morning. Still three to go. The weather in Barcelona doesn’t really inspire to study. The constant sunshine and 30°C is very bad for education. Wednesday I have another exam and then it’s time to relax for a while. Thursday morning I’ll be flying to Bilbao. Friday we’ve been talking about Girona, but we’ll see. Finally on next weeks Tuesday and Wednesday I’ll travel to Granada and we have tickets to Alhambra as well.

I haven’t been able to upload photos to zooomr as often because zooomr has been offline during the Mark III upgrade and isn’t really fully usable even yet. Zooomr team has been doing a lot of work (Thanks Kris!) and the service is improving very fast. So I’ll be back on schedule shortly.
