While browsing this blog, I clicked the translation to Portuguese. This is what Windows Live Translator thinks of code snippets :P

Not completely satisfied with the computer they gave, my friends teamed up with my wife and offered me a Wii. :)

So, Saturday afternoon was spent playing bowling in my living room. :)

THANK YOU GUYS!!! :)

Well, a recently bought a brand new top-of-the-line laptop. And yesterday was my birthday. My thirtieth birthday.

So, some of my friends decided to give me a surprise party at home. But the real surprise came wrapped as a gift. They offered me a computer. Not any computer that you find on a store. This was a special one. This was a Timex 2048 with lots of tapes. One of my first computers. One that I played when I was young...very young. Hours and hours of fun in front of a small TV, playing Target Renegade, Bomb Jack, Chuckie Egg, 1942 and others...so many others. My first programs where made on this piece of hardware with (an prepare to be amazed) 48k of memory.

And the games...oh the games...They had life, they had originality, they were FUN.

Target Renegade

The games where loaded from a tape deck that had to be tuned for the game to load right. So many times had I to fine tune....lol...those were the days :). Now its all so easy.

This has a special gift. One that, although made me felt so very old (specially when there here persons on the room that didn't even know what a timex was), made me remember my youth.

Thank you my friends. :)

Now...its time to hear that beautiful sound of that that Load "" does...... :P
