In this days I have been working on making a public event, named Xalapa Metalfest 2008, hopefully I already got some bands to play from friends that are very good and I am inviting more to make this Xalapa Metalfest the best thing that have been in this city!
On December the metalheads of this city wait for you on someplace that will be announced soon as the date. Thanks for reading, for more information check the site dedicated to this ;), here.
KDE people just put on a KDE Forum on forum.kde.org to complement the UserBase and for the people that doesn’t like mailing lists, this is quite a good decition, and the best of all is that their are using MyBB as software, and I think that KDE choice was the thing that make Chris Burton, MyBB team leader change the licensing of his forum software, I hope many other projects adopt it as it :).
KDE Forums at the moment are quite empty, but I am making some posts to put some fun on the forums, hope other people join too.
MyBB just moved his forum software from their propietary licence to GPLv3, well, I am quite happy for the decition of they and well, I hope their still consider me for Beta Testing in their new forum software.

Just few days ago, around 4-5, I had the lucky opportunity to see Helloween and Gamma Ray live in Puebla, one of their last shows on Mexico in this long and to be honest a very NICE tour of Helloween and Gamma Ray.
The adventure started at the morning, when I and a friend traveled to Puebla, we did an score time to get there, so we had some time there, we had some fun with some of his friends, and some beers in a nice university people, with cheap beers there.
After some hours of being moving on all the city, we noticed that the concert was very early, so we gone there. When we arrived there was 8:55P and it was starting in 5 minutes, since I had an extra ticket I had to wait a little for selling it, by luck some friends were waiting other friends and I leave the ticket with them and I meet other friend of Xalapa there, so I join to the scene with he. Gamma Ray was already playing. Without any doubt Kai Hansen is one of the best frontmans I have ever seen including the DVDs of several bands that I had seen in mine life. The best part of the Gamma Ray act was Heavy Metal Universe and Rebellion in Dreamland without any doubt, I was very excited. I meet some other friends of Xalapa on the concert, so I drink some beers with them and had a great time. The time when Gamma Ray stop playing started, was exciting, Helloween was gonna to play in few minutes, I used this minutes to talk with other metalheads and wait a little time till’ Helloween begin.
Then we all heard ‘Masquerade, Masquerade, Grab your mask and don’t be late‘, all where singing with Andi Neris that is also, a very good front man, and since he lives in Spain he could talk with the public and he teach us some of his native language, german, was quite funny. When their where playing Halloween, nobody noticed since all focus on Helloween, but Kai Hansen came out by a side, nobody seen he so I said to a friend: “Hey, look there, let’s talk with he!”, so we done it, he acted very nice besides the bassist of Gamma Ray that was a shit with us, he didn’t even turn his head to see us talking to he, I had the great opportunity to take a photo with Kai Hansen -sadly with the Blackberry of a friend and was quite dark 
- The time ran and they play very nice songs as Dr. Stein, Eagly Fly Free, As Long As I Fall, King For A 1000 Years, A Tale That Wasn’t Right and other songs including a Medley that included Perfect Gentleman, Keeper of The Seven Keys, Power, and more songs… was exciting.
Then the best part of the night came, Helloween and Gamma Ray on playing I Want Out and Eagly Fly Free togheter. Greatest thing on the world. Was a long night, I haven’t ever been so happy on a concert, including all the good bands I seen this year, so was a successful day, including the thing that I had a photo with Kai the guy who made one of my favorite band (Helloween) and one that I like so much (Gamma Ray), and of course, the one who made up my favorites metal genres, Power and Symphonic. If you still have the opportunity to assist in a concert of this tour, is highly recommended to all metalheads in this world. Have fun.
As TechBase is meant for developers, KDE project members just opened UserBase, the interesting points of this wiki are the following:
As discused at aKademy, UserBase is ready to help users with day-to-day problems and is waiting for contributions from the community, without a doubt a better place to knowledge for desktop users.
There’s a Talk Page to suggest new things to the UserBase, I was going to suggest multilanguage support but someone done that first. Have fun!
I think it’s all -at Otserv- :o, I think I will start to talk about KDE again sooner for the ones that are interested
Google although they are the biggest sponsors of Mozilla Firefox project, they just just done an announcement of that they’re working in a browser based on WebKit (Based on KHTML, used in Safari) and will be open source. They wrote from scratch the Javascript engine, named V8. The name of this browser is Google Chrome and the beta should be released tomorrow for Windows although the announcement says that they’re working hard on Apple Mac OS X and Linux versions.
Some nice features I found in this browser, due to the information given by Google can easily be:
Hoping to test it tomorrow and I will post some screenshots and put them here, really, I spect a very good performance on Javascript with V8 since the current engines are a crap by now. By now I will add a new category named Google since they always give us great surprices that are worth to post them here.
Going to post some of the latest news on the Otserv World!
I don’t know but something that I would _LOVE_ to see is a feature freeze, a bug finding contest and see 0.7.0 Otserv final release out, just want to create an stable package for Debian, and it will not run 0.6.0 of course.

Just seeing old posts of mine old blog, I recovered one that was specially writted by me for making a critic to all the artists that say that P2P is killing the music. Sorry for the English that I have used, but was written two years ago and I was bad at that (more than now)
I wanted to write this article since a while for now, but really, now I am really mad, if you already notice the unique artist who are saying around the world about the p2p networks are destroying the music are the dumbs who live just of adversting, like Belinda, Thalía, RBD, David Bisbal and a lot of this kind of commercial artists, who in every song have voice fixes, and etc, they all times make argues about p2p is “killing” the music, and that kind of stupid stuff
Why Did they say that? Maybe… Cause they don’t know that their music is horrible and nobody will download it, I personally download music from aMule and I download masterpieces of music, music who really is dying and I gave a little of life more when I download it and listen with my friends.
Why this “Masterpieces” are dying?
Cause they aren’t commercial like that crap groups, really is hard to get a CD of them (well, In my country is hard or impossible) and a bit more if it is old music, cause they don’t have commecials in the television around the world (ex. High School Musical what have big adversting in the TV and in other communication mediums).They daily appear a thousand of times in MTV, the people have the songs giving rounds and rounds around their heads, what the people do? Buy they horrible CD (ex. Simple Plan, Christina Aguilera, My Chemical Romance, Ricky Martin, a thousand more of commercial artists).
You ever seen more than 5 videos of any good band in MTV (or even, if they have one)Why?
Cause they don’t do promotion just to sell music, they do music cause they love it (Don’t you do music just to win money David Bisbal? Cause it seems like yes. your comments about p2p are very bad and you will burn in hell)Who is with me, please put your comment in this blog, Thanks.
This is just the begin, if fake “artists” keep complaining about the p2p networks are attacking the music, i will continue writing this kind of articles, what sadly, are true, cause I am taking this too personal, and I’m a guy who loves music and does music.Remember, p2p don’t kill music, they kill the crap (all the above artists with a cute link)
Since this post had many comments in the other forum, I think that many people share the same opinion with me. =)
