I was dragged to Boing Boing because they were talking about a software search I have had for around twenty years, when I remembered I had a participation on a chipmusic round table with BB blogger Joel Johnson, my good friend Paza Rahm and Rugar.
If you have a bunch of tens of minutes to spare, some interesting things were said back then, and you also get to hear me talk like an idiot with a ridiculous accent (which has since improved *ever so slightly*).
The main website has needed a facelift for ages (actually, 5 years). I will start to work on that soon, and with no CMS in sight, I’m tired of every website looking the same (just a CMS template).
8GB’s website will be updated too because some new stuff needs to be presented, and that means a new way of communication. That will take some more time.
Meanwhile, I try to get energy back to work on new shit, so the day-to-day routine doesn’t keep wasting my neurons. I have updated copiously the work portfolio, which you can find here.
That’s all from me now. We’re still not popular, so nobody will read this shit xD
I’ll show you what software I been trying to get into again as of late:
Yep, it’s been a while folks…
I been trying to recover from a massive trip, without much success.
Why? Because almost as soon as I got to New York, the Blip Festival 2008 started, and with it, my new little North American Tour 08/09… Mind you, it’s more relaxed than the Eurotour, but still pretty active. And I still got a shitload of stuff to fix, all backlogged thanks to almost 3 weeks of absolute Blip mayhem (where I managed to see a bunch of my worldwide friends, and meet some new people).
Before this year ends, I wanted to make a wrap up of my Euro Tour. I still haven’t realized everything that happened to me in those wonderful 7 months, but I am slowly crawling back into it. When i see my flickr account, I can’t believe I been to all those places. The tour can be truly marked as “Epic”.
Also, it’s been done completely by big effort and work of everyone I met around Europe. This was not like those lamers who pay themselves a vacation to anywhere, play in a bunch of pubs and return saying “I just came back from touring Europe”. This was the real deal, with all the joy and suffering it means to do it right and proper.
At this moment I am not lucid enough to say much else, so I want to do what I have to do first: a list of enormous THANKS! to all those who were part of my tour. No matter how small a role they have played in it, they were all vital to the realization of this fabulous experience (which I intend to repeat 
).
So here goes a huge list, in alphabetical order:

Luego de 7 meses de viajar a través de Europa, a través de 21 ciudades en 11 países y con alrededor de 25 fechas, el 8GB EuroTour 2008 llega a su fin.
Muchas cosas hay en mi cabeza en este momento, pero el resumen no vendrá hasta que me relaje y analice todo lo que pasé en este viaje tan largo e increíble.
Por suerte tengo una última fecha rodeada de amigos y en la madre patria, España (la tierra de mi madre), más precisamente Barcelona, donde tocaré en el espacio Miscelánea acompañado de, hasta ahora, Meneo, Rabato, Ralp y Entter, y ojalá se agregue Yes!Robot.
Me he encontrado con viejos amigos como Pablo Ruix y Martín Inda, a quien no veía hace casi dos años, uno de la camada *original* de VJs de Argentina (nada de payasadas) con quien compartimos tantos eventos…
En fin, que el Viernes será la última (por esta vez) en Europa, y que si andan por el área no pueden faltar, o si conocen a alguien que ande cerca, no duden en recomendar el evento.
Acá va el flyer:
Comienza a las 22 y termina pasadas las 00. Toco último, y después pinta que ya organizamos un afterparty en un lugar privado donde pondremos unos tunes 
You can’t miss this one…
Vuelvo a New York en una semana…Ahí sevemo…
Every month we have a Pulsewave event in New York City, and every month mr. No Carrier goes and codes his ass out to deliver a “programmed flyer” (what we demosceners call ‘invtro’, or invitation intro).
As it is the tradition, when possible, one of the participating artists of the event creates the music for said invtro. So I did the honours, being that this month, for a change, the flyer was made on the Commodore 64, and I created this track called “Wish Come True”
What do you know: Wordpress does not help me post more often.
YES, I’ve been slacking on this front, but what could one do?
The touring is no easy business, and I have gone through so many location changes and other kinds of troubles, that I have been driven more crazy than usual and the website updating took a last place.
So here I am with some extra time to dedicate to this task.
As a bonus, I managed to install the Wordpress system in our servers, so this should be much, much better now.
Where were we last time? Oh, the UK
Well, it seems not even having a Wordpress interface makes me update the bloody site 
So I been gone for like month and a half, a very busy month and a half by the way, so that could be an excuse for not updating 
The tour has taken me to a load of locations since my depart from Switzerland, the land of my favourite trains. I have gone to Italy and to the UK, “infecting” two more countries with the 8GB craze.

After lots of work in it, we have released the final version of our A/V track Jorge Newbery.
We will be releasing this track soon (both in audio and A/V track form) so keep your eyes peeled for more news.
Enjoy it, like it, spread it to your best friends
As soon as we were done with Microdisko in Stockholm, and after eating some traditional swedish meatballs (köttbullar) in a nearby 24hours eatery, we headed toward Anna’s house to chill out for a while before taking a bus to the airport. We were scorted by Paza to the bus terminal, and after an hour twenty trip we got to the Skavsta airport where we proceeded through the usual security bollocks and crashed on the plane, trying to get some sleep, something very complicated in a very cramped cheap airplane, specially for Stu
Some more days spent in Geneva, in my own private apt by the Rhône river, some tourism done, and I took a train to Basel on Thursday 17th, to meet with Bubblyfish and Stu and catch a plane to Stockholm, for our gig for Microdisko. We arrived kinda late to the city so we met with our hosts, Jonas and Linnea, accompanied by Mr. Nitro2k01, and went straight to south Stockholm to our hosts’ house. There we ate some delicious vegan lasagna, and were joined by Psilodump and Paza Rahm for a nice night which ended up veeeeeeeery late.
