Super cute pic of my buddy Eusebi's son, Marc. I went to college with both Jesus and Eusebi, they are my best friends.

Went and saw an NBA game with 2 friends today, the Nets played the Grizzlies. Interestingly enough, 2 Spaniards play with the Memphis Grizzlies: Pau Gasol and Juan Carlos Navarro. They are both really good players. The game was entertaining, and very close towards the end. The Grizzlies ended up winning. I took a few pics which I will try to post when I have more time.

My internet connection feels kind of slugish, not sure why. I ran a test over the weekend, and it said 10 Mbps, but today it feels slow. One of my servers locked up. Once I rebooted (which was very suspicious - I never ever have trouble with Win 2003 server) I looked at the registry and it said it had to start up in "failed redundancy mode". That means one of my hard drives died. So, I will have to replace it. Will make an attempt to reboot again and recover, but I doubt it will help.

Rainy all day, but not too cold. Supposed to be much worse tomorrow. Going to an NBA game with friends tomorrow evening! Then we have a dinner planned on Wed.

I probably won't last up too long today, I didn't get a ton of sleep last night.

Jesus left this evening, all good. We packed a ton of stuff into this morning, checked out the Natural History Museum, as well as Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller Center. It was a clear day and so we had spectacular views of Central Park turning into a thousand shades of brown with the season.

Had to run a ton of errands in the evening, catch up. I picked up my tuxedo for the Xmas party, and then headed to SoHo to exchange one of the devices I bought yesterday because the screen had some stuck pixels. I am pretty unlucky with the pixels thing, maybe other people just don't pay attention. I am very picky with it. In the end it was no problem at all. Then I met with a friend for coffee and good conversation, had a great time.
