The event was held at the Anaheim Convention Center, just across the street from Disney.

It had been a while since my last visit to Disneyland, sometime during 1992 or 1993 with my friend Yamil. I decided it was time to return. I had a fun time with some IBM colleagues trying to get the most out of the park in just a few hours, the newest for me was Indiana Jones Adventure.
As part of the event, IBM reserved a few attractions from Disney’s California Adventure exclusively for TLE’s attendees, so I had a chance to enjoy the park with smaller lines.

As usual, I was prepared with my camera (Sony DSC-H1) and cell phone (Sony Ericsson k790a) and took a few pictures, which are available now by clicking on the following image of the Disneyland Castle:

  • New computer! I just bought a 17″ Mac Book Pro, to replace my Power Mac G5, which I’m selling now. I’ve spent the last few weeks moving data around and I’ve finally finished. The most complicated part was moving my music collection, since the MBP’s hard drive is naturally smaller and I had to manually select the songs that would survive the move. People interested in my Power Mac G5 please contact me for details and pricing.
  • I was away one week in February to attend the Process Integration STEW in Costa Mesa, CA, an area better known as the Orange County. I spent most of my free time there either shopping or dining, but didn’t take enough photos to justify a new gallery. It was quite cold down there, strange weather for California.
  • I just got an Xbox 360 as a suggestion from my brother. I haven’t played that much yet, but the graphics are quite nice. I’ve always been a Nintendo fan so this is a departure for me, I do enjoy several Wii games but must admit that on the visuals department, the Xbox is clearly the winner of these two. Playstation 3 is certainly an interesting system but I find it currently too expensive and with no games that really interest me… but this might change sometime in the future.
  • There’s a new version of my J2EE labs coming soon, with support for Rational Application Developer 7 and WebSphere Application Server 6.1
  • As usual, I’ve also been busy with some super-secret stuff, but I’ve already talked too much…
