7 years later Depor 4 – 0 Milan

Leave a reply

Seven years later lets remember the Depor 4 -0 Milan match that clasified Deportivo for the 2004 Champions League semifinals. Depor had lost in San Siro for 4 to 1, but we knew a miracle could happen at Coruña, just like it did. Pandiani, Valerón, Luque and Fran scored the goals for Deportivo. To tell you the truth I lost that match, even when I had season tickets for it. Guess I didn’t think it was possible since Milan were the Champions League winners from last year. I will always regret not having gone to that match.

Now Deportivo has a big deficit and had to sell most of its assets (players). But it’s always good to remember the old times and think that they will come back sooner rather than later.

So, here are the goals.

Firefox 4 is out

So Firefox 4 is out. They have this nice site where you can watch live the downloads per minute. I also look at this site as a way of measuring the World developed regions. Look at how there is a lot of activity going on in California, North East USA, Japan and Northern Europe. There is almost no activity coming from Africa and most of Asia asides from some heavily populated cities. I guess it’s a different way to see the World development as a whole.

I like the new Firefox. It is better organized. I think space is better organized leaving more screen for the website you are watching.

Thanks to Denis for the URL.

Murray’s bagels

Leave a reply

So I’m a bagel fan. I’m not going to say I eat them every day, but I probably eat more than five a week. I really love this simple jewish culinary product. Such a simple product with so many possibilities. You can have it for breakfast, lunch, quick snack and dinner. It’s full of possibilities.

So this Saturday afternoon I had lunch at Murray’s bagels. Simple everything whole wheat bagel with pastrami, nothing else.

The bagel was not very shinny, probably because of the poppy and sesame seeds among other things, but it was perfectly dense and chewy. It was also puffy and not sweet which is how I like my bagels.

Murray’s is located in Avenue of the Americas 500, next to 13 St. It is a little bit expensive, but I think the bagels are worth every penny. I had to wait around twenty minutes to order and there is not a lot of space or tables availble. However, the ambiance is very nice. There are also chairs on the outside to sit down and enjoy on the summer day. You really get the feeling you are in a original New York joint, not in a McDonald’s where everything is like copy/paste.

Project Euler

So I was looking around for some programming information and found Project Euler. They have a number of problems to program. You can choose any programming language, it’s just to enhance your programming abilities.

So here is the answer to problem number one.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

my $sum;
my $count;

for ($count = 0; $count < 1000; $count ++) {
        if (($count % 3 == 0) || ($count % 5 == 0)) {
                $sum = $count + $sum;
                print "\$sum is $sum\n"; }
        }

It’s a really simple exercise. You just need to sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.
