Can't say I have much time for personal life these days. There are some pretty interesting stuff in the pipeline and it seems that when you think you have more than plenty to do, the opportunities are flowing in! So I must juggle my time between paid contractor work and unpaid development, marketing and sales work. On top of all of this I am organizing a conference to be held in the second week of August.

I am looking forward to a semi-relaxed weekend. Tonight I will have a lobster meal with a good glass of wine :-)

It's been a while since I wrote the last blog entry here. Well, I am still alive, but I must say I have been extremely busy building up my software company. Now that the foundations are there, I will just have to sit back and wait for the money to start flowing in. Cash machine! Seriously, I will have to keep up the hard work to make things happen, but things look quite good and there are tremendous possiblities.

If you are interested in electronic business, please visit the Unimaze Software web site. A bit technical at the moment, but later this year, we will shift our marketing focus to solutions. If you would like me to answer some questions regarding this subject, this blog might be the right place to to so. What is e-business? What is it good for? How will it help me? Why is this better than that? I can try to answer these kind of questions.

If I get some feedback on this blog, I might even continue to write here. Since I will not be talking about travel here I guess I will have to change gears. I would rather not bore people with stuff that is too technical, so hopefully I can come up with interesting subjects.

Estoy vivo, haciendo mi trabajo. No he tenido mucho tiempo para disfrutarme en los ultimos semanas, aunque me quede bien. Estoy a punto de terminar la primera version de mi software y en unas dos semanas puedo mostrarlo.

Todavía hay mas frío y nueve en las montañas alrededor de Reykjavík. Todo tranquilo y mañanas hermosas.

¡Espero que todo el mundo se vayan bien!

So as not to forget my spanish totally I made this crappy poem this morning:

Los colores se brillan a traves de las sombras largas.
El frio me hace escalofrio si no traje bastante ropa.
El viento se calla y el aire es fresca.
Todavia hay otoño en el norte.

Next week I will start classes in speaking spanish, hopefully I will get something out of it.

I have a faint of heart for books. I must admit it. Every time I enter a bookstore I return with at least one book in my hand. Some of these books are highly useful and important and after staying on my nightstand for two weeks, end up in myn bookcase where they wait for their useful moments, which never come.

Some books are quite funny, like the one I bought in Gibraltar two months ago about 500 things you can do to make the world a better place. I browsed it a few times, read some of the articles, but now I seem to be too busy to open it.

This weekend I bought 3 books; "Cuentos populares de Islandia", folk stories from Iceland in spanish. This is probably the fifth copy I buy of this book. The others serve good purpose educating people of Central America; now I am finally able to read it and enjoy it. At the same time I bought a highly useful book on vitamins and minerals and what they do you good. If someone sees me looking pale and white, please tell me to go home read it.

Yesterday I could not help buy a book from the "Teach yourself" series. I did not know they had anything else but language books, but there was this books on understanding ethics. The cover said; BUY ME; so I had to walk out with it.
