and the Doctor is...


I just received this email, the one that has made me the happiest man in the known universe. If i was feeling lucky before, now i have another big reason.

"Peter Huggard and Paul Snow have approved your corrected thesis. The paperwork is now being passed onto the department and faculty. You should officially hear soon that you have passed and will be awarded your doctorate.

Congratulations Dr Nono"

I would like to acknowledge to all the people that has made my PhD possible with their technical and personal support (many of you reading actually and particularly Dr. Party, gracias hermano, Dr. Pek and Dr. Frog). Thanks soooooo much to all of you

This is a 3D model i did based on Ait el Caid Kasbah, Agdz, Morocco. You can get the full model for goggle sketchup in the 3D warehouse...long life to mud:

I would love to know what is the percentage of the world population that could subscribe my words...Those not as lucky as me and many of you spend their life in a struggle for getting things some take for granted...it is an utter disgrace that people that has survival ensured forget what a privilege it is to have it, and still they keep complaining about stupid stuff. It is a responsibility and an obligation for us to make this world a better one for all those who cannot choose.

Curiosity of the day: Remember about fulan? well actually i discovered that there are no zutano and mengano, but actually there are three in Arabic too: fulan, aelen and terten...would be something like aeleano y tertano?
