It has been nice ride working with wordpress, but I think it’s a little bit uncomfortable and unnecessary to have two blogs. So from now on I’m going to be blogging exclusively at BarbarianMeetsCoding.com, and I’ll use this blog just to link BMC contents.
Check the last post: New Section – What have you learnt in the last two weeks?
Damn… All I’ve been putting lately here are just videos… XD that’s… real quality blogging…. 🙂 Anyway, you really have to get and watch Robot Chicken Star Wars cartoons because they are terribly hilarious XD My god… take a sneak peak with this YouTube trailer
omg… a yo mama battle between Luke and Palpatine XDDD
Check this out…

I was going through my feeds and my friend Victor had shared a particularly interesting post about final fantasy on Android. I did a quick search and I stumbled upon this…
My god… looks perfect XD… uncomfortable yet what a gorgeous emulation ^_^
I have just watched this clip and loved it. If everything goes as planned they’ll be premiering (premiering…. that word looks weird)… they’ll be premiering Game of Thrones the upcoming Spring. Below you can take a look at the third teaser trailer!
P.S. it was really exciting to see George R.R. Martin there on the set, that gives some hope on the series outcome ^_^.
I finished reading “The Towers of Midnight” and loooved it ^_^. I guess you cannot be impartial with the judgment when you have read and loved all previous books. Sanderson makes a great job, closes some storylines, opens and matures others (I really cannot wait to know what is really going on at the Black Tower and how is Rand planning to deal with it) and all in all delivers a very entertaining book.
So, now we have to wait, if everything goes as planned, till Spring 2012 for the last book and the final clash between good and evil. Tarmon Gai’don is here fellows, sharpen your swords, prepare your armors, seize saidan or saidar and prepare your threads ^_^…
Greetings!
I’ve been working hard this last weekend, and reduced significantly the specs for the first release of vinCMS, so… (drumbroll….XD) barbarian meets coding will be out any time soon (meaning tonight or tomorrow night). Yey!
“The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long pass, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.”
So, one year after the outstanding “The Gathering Storm”, Brandon Sanderson delivers his (and Jordan’s) “The Towers of midnight”. Hmm… can’t wait to start reading it ^_^. To open our stomachs… I bring thee…
an extract from the back cover…
“The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One’s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight.
The sun has begun to set upon the Third Age.
Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he must seek answers in Tel’aran’rhiod and find a way–at long last–to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it forever.
Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The creatures beyond the stone gateways–the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn–have confused him, taunted him, and left him hanged, his memory stuffed with bits and pieces of other men’s lives. He had hoped that his last confrontation with them would be the end of it, but the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. The time is coming when he will again have to dance with the Snakes and the Foxes, playing a game that cannot be won. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost.
This penultimate novel of Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling series–the second of three based on materials he left behind when he died in 2007–brings dramatic and compelling developments to many threads in the Pattern. The end draws near.
Dovie’andi se tovya sagain. It’s time to toss the dice.”
…dragonmount’s fanmade trailer…
…and an extract from Jason Denzel’s review!
“It occurred to me as I finished this book that this is almost it. After ToM, there’s only one more book to go. One last round in the great fight. These characters, this world, they’re a part of me. And clearly, they’re a part of you and a great many others as well. Some of you are new to the series, and many of you have been reading it for a very long time. Regardless of when we started though, we all see the same looming horizon before us. The inevitable arrival of the Last Battle, and the fabled “Last Chapter” that Robert Jordan spoke of for years. We’ve reached the sunset of this Age, and after reading ToM, I just don’t know how it will end anymore.
This book will always have a special place in my heart. In part for my involvement as a beta reader, in part for the book trailer project, and even for the book’s dedication which is a profound and humbling gesture. But mostly, this book will be special to me because it marks the true beginning of the end. Story-wise, the “good guys” are gathered and ready to go. But in fact they’re in shambles, just barely held together. But in terms of us, as a community of fans, we are gathered like never before. I’m proud to see our fandom linked in this last year like I’ve never seen. We all know there’s something special about this series, and Towers of Midnight is without a doubt a fine and worthy addition to its ranks. I look forward to riding the storm with you guys one last time to Tarmon Gaidon. One last charge. One last book.
We will meet it with swords raised.”
Btw, Who’s your favorite/favourite?
I think Mat Cauthon is the freaking master XD
Apparently Andrew’s iniciative has been highly notorious on the internet for quite a while but I might have been to deep inside my cave because I have not noticed until now ^_^. Anyhow, you really need to check it out, it’s absolutely hilarious. (And I hope it is successful as well ^_^)
This is a reverse job application. I am done asking people to hire me, for several reasons. First and foremost, it clearly doesn’t work. Second, it closes me off to a lot of potentially amazing opportunities; I can only find and apply to so many jobs, and there are doubtlessly hundreds of thousands out there that I would be a great fit for. Third and finally, the application process undermines my value as a worker. I have gone my entire life consistently producing excellent results at every task I set my mind to, and quite frankly, employers should be coming to me, not the other way around.

Good Luck Andrew!
