Wedding

Saturday, April 16th, 2005

Today I’m going to a wedding.

No!! It’s not my wedding… If it would, I won’t be right here writing this few lines… I would be so nervous…

It’s Joan&Paula’s wedding. Joan is a friend of mine since we were 14 years old. Although we know each other from school and our parents are friends we start going together at 14. He is known as “L’avi”, grandpa in catalan because he is the oldest in our group. We have shared a lot of experiences during all this 13 years, lots of them when we where really young, and others not so young. But I thing that the most important and the one that will be printed in our eyes will be this wedding.
In one hand because he is the older one and a really good friend, but in the other hand because this is the first in the group that gets married.
The wedding will start at 13:00 with a civil wedding. They will get married by the mayor of Matadepera in an old house in the town thas has been rebuild for this purpose (weddings and celebrations). The celebration and the meal will be served in the same place by a catering company.

I will try to take some pictures of the wedding, and of course I will select the best one (on just the not so worst), and the ones that can be shown in a webpage without producing problems to the people that appear into them.

Let’s go to sleep because I want to enjoy 110% of this day.

Gmail upgrades up to 2GB Infinity+1

Friday, April 1st, 2005

Just right now, Gmail is upgrading all the accounts to 2GB Infinity + 1. The upgrade is gradual, so each moment, the mailbox is bigger.

I’ve read the news this morning when accessing to my account. For me, the best, apart of the upgrade, are the comments that Google writes on the login page, like that a graph shows more than an equation.
This is the graph:

Just right now, the mailbox size is 1345MB and growing.

All I must say is: “Google is surprising me everyday. Just go on the same way”.

Edited at 13:50 (April 2nd): The mailbox space is now 2050MB and growing…
