Another cloudy day with a little of love show

I admit I don't post on the blog much lately, but neither had much time to do so (and I had no time for ideas either).
But it's Friday, and as such, I keep my idea of ​​putting a picture and a video to end the week. At the moment, I have the strange tendency to put videos of songs (maybe in the future I change my mind :P), and because today in Santa Fe (where I live) it's cloudy, I go with the following:

Love Show is the first song on the album Mind How You Go by Skye Edwards. Interesting fact, the real name of this woman is Shirley Edwards Yonavieve Klaris, but apparently she took each of the initials of her complete name and she creates her stage name (I guess if I do the same, I get a Cge and sounds like a military rank more than anything else). I came across this song while listening to the radio (it's 2006), but as I liked, it falls here.
Greetings wise (or maybe dumb).
PS: I feel like hacking blogger by the way I put YouTube videos here haha.

A little comment about Windows Media Player

Well, I must say that I've a strange personality. In a moment, I think that having a blog is the best thing that I can do, and days later, I think I should erase it.
But anyway, to made a quick entry, I like to suggest a visualization for Windows Media Player (yes, I use Windows Seven, but also Ubuntu 11.04), that I like it.
Go to Visualizations for Windows Media Player.
Then, download the theme "Energy Bliss". Next, a preview (click to enlarge):

I hope you like it. I'm conform with it.
Greetings from somewhere.

Are you here with me?

Well, this is the fifth day of my blog (how exciting!). To end the week on Friday (because I'm not going to update on weekends), I will proceed to do something similar that I used to do on a blog that I had with two other friends (hpmaxi and fern17) few years ago: give an image, and video.
Picture:

Yes, I love the pictures of the sky :P. This one was taken by monkeyatlarge (march, 2005).

"On Melancholy Hill" is the tenth song on the album Plastic Beach by Gorillaz. Simply, when I heard it I was overwhelmed. I knew another version too (really, I heard this one first), which it's very good too, so I'll leave the link here.
Nothing more to add.
Greetings from Melancholy Hill.

Choosing the right colors using Adobe Kuler.

When you're designing a web page, or even an application, you should keep in mind the colors you will use.
While I was surfing in the net, I found a page from Adobe called kuler which carries a collection of color palettes made by users. Some are beautiful, and if you have no idea of ​​what colors utilize on your website/application, this is a good place to start.
If you use a single color scheme will not only look better, also can turn your app in a success.
It is also interesting to known something about the color psychology, so you can choose the best color scheme for your web/app. The colors awaken in people specific emotional responses.
As a brief summary, I can say the following (I didn't invent, I read about it):

• Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) are used to attract attention (hence are widely used in advertising). Stimulates circulation and nervous system. 
• Cool colors (blue, violet, green) are the opposite of the warm colors. Soothed and calm. 
• Light colors (pink, blue, beige) help defuse. Imparts softness and fluidity. 
• Dark colors (the dark ones) are space reducers, doing everything seem smaller. They're serious and focused.

Colors that you will use would have a powerful effect to repel or attract people, depending on how you use them. Colors convey a lot, and it is important to notice that.
Next, I leave a quickly summarize of each color "base" with their respective effects:

• White: Empowered the neighbor colors. Transmits peace, happiness, innocence, purity.
• Gray: Expresses doubt, indecision, lack of energy, sadness. However, if it's used in metallic shades, gives a sense of strength and luxury.
• Black: Transmit silence, mystery, and even evil or impurity. It gives a certain elegance when used in bright tones.
• Red: Brings vitality, passion, energy, aggressiveness, sensuality, sexuality.
• Orange: Expresses warmth, stimulation, energy, positivism.
• Yellow: Sends gaiety, excitement, impulsion.
• Brown: Transmits severity, comfort, and balance.
• Green: It is color of nature. Convey calmness, tranquility, and renewal.
• Blue: Expresses harmony, friendship, loyalty, serenity.
• Violet: Transmits temperance, insight, and reflection. A color of mystic and melancholy.

Color can become the key to the web or application to do, even if you are not aware of it. Choose wisely.

Colorful greetings.

A Tale About Three Old Men

Wednesday of reflexion... I heard a story from Milenium FM (a radio from Argentina) that I found cute, so I will rewrite with my words, my memories, and my mistakes, the tale. Enjoy.

The Three Old Men
The tale begin with a seat on the park, where were sitting three old men. They looked tired, and the only thing that they were doing was to look the sunset far away, without moving from the place.
It turns out that a woman was passing by, and saw them. In a moment of compasion, she invites them to dinner at her house, which was just to a few meters away. However, the elders asked her to consult to her husband if he was agreed. The girl nodded, went home and talked with her husband, who accepted to invite the old men to dinner.

I just install SyntaxHighlighter 3.something

Well, I added a coloring system for the codes that I'll write in the future. In fact, I must thank to my friend fern17 by pass me the data :P.
Install SyntaxHighlighter v3.something in Blogger is really very simple. But I will not talk about it, I'll just pass the post where I saw it: How to use Syntax Highlighter 3 in Blogger.
And here is a list of Bundled Brushes (you know, to know the languages available to coloring).
However, the guy on the blog of the url above, says to use SyntaxHighlighter with the </pre> tags, but I don't like it, I prefer the second method, using </script> tags: you can see it right here (at the end of everything).
Well that it's all. Looks like I'm just starting to make ultra useful entries :D.
Greetings my dear readers.

Thinking about how to write a blog that people want to read.

Well, I've to said that when you start a new blog, you don't have the need to reinvent the wheel.

With that in mind, I found a wonderful post about how to do a great blog: How to Write a Blog - How to Write a Blog That People Want to Read.

I will try to do my best, and get the best of the results in doing my blog. It's something almost new to me.

I was thinking about the topic, and as I'm studying about programming, I think that I'll post stuff about that.

But who knows?

That's all for now, keep us on touch.
I almost forgotten... At the end of some entries, I'll leave a quote...

"The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart." (Unknown)

Warm greetings from the South.

Hello mundo.

Finally, I decided to create a blog. In a first moment, my obviously choise was Wordpress, but I gave up when I realized how difficult it is to customize the CSS (and expensive).
And suddenly, before my eyes, appeared the possibility to do it in Blogger. Of course, I don't touch this platform since 2007, but Google has changed much in four years, as well as Blogger.
You know, another thing about me is that my native language is Spanish, and for that exact reason I'm doing this blog in English: to get more practice writing in this language (so forgive my mistakes, I'm going to improve, I promise :P ).
Regarding to what it's gonna be treated on this blog, the truth is that I still don't know. I guess that it's gonna be about every kind of stuff, I don't really like to limit myself because I get bored easily.
Well I don't know who will read this in the future, but here I am, Sunday 18, instead of studying Computer Architecture - I'm in third year of Computer Engineering -, I'm doing a blog.
By the way, another reason why I did it in Blogger's because every time I love Google more :).
Warm greetings from Argentina.
Cristian.
