Era un señor que estaba en Estados Unidos aprendio el ingles de un

diccionario, y estaba en una esquina  de Nueva York ,queriendo cruzar

la calle. Un matrimonio estaba del otro lado de la calle y también

quería cruzar.

En eso venia un carro muy rápido, y con la llanta pisó una piedra. La

piedra saltó y le pegó al marido en la cabeza. El pelado se desmayó y

la señora histérica trataba de despertarlo y nada.

En eso llegó la Shota (policía) y como el señor había sido testigo de

los eventos, el Shota lo abordó y le preguntó:

 Do you speak english?

¨Yes¨  contestó el señor.

¿Did you see what happened here?

“ Clear Yes”, Claro que si.

¿Name? Dijo el Shota, sacando al mismo tiempo una libreta para apuntar

el nombre.

Y contestó el bato que aprendió inglés con un Diccionario.

“Almost can see Fountains Pigeon houses” o sea: Casimiro Fuentes Palomares.

El Shota se quedó moviendo la cabeza como pensando, ¿Qué dijo este pendejo?.

¿How was it? Preguntó de nuevo el Shota.

Y el señor contestó:

“I was stop here” O sea, que él estaba parado ahí.Y siguió el señor....

“The car came made the mother. O sea, que el carro venia hecho la

madre.“The wheel pushed the stone. O sea, que la llanta aventó la

piedra.“The stone fly” O sea que la piedra voló.“And hit the man in

the one hundred” O sea, que le pegó al señor en la sien.“The woman put

the shout in the heaven” O sea, que puso el grito en el cielo.“And the

woman said… Old, old, old” O sea, Viejo, Viejo, Viejo!!!“Up, Up. Don`t

whistle yourself” O sea, levántate, levántate, no te chifles.“And the

man never came back in yes again” O sea, que el hombre nunca volvió en

sí otra vez.

Y todo destanteado el Shota le preguntó:

And ¿Where is the car?

Y contestó el señor….

“Peel Rooster” O sea ¡Peló Gallo

It's an awesome free service where people report details of who called them and what they wanted when they called, think of it as crowd-sourced telemarketer reporting. It's handy because you can safely ignore most calls to your phone after looking up the numbers at this site.

There’s a new class of camera whose size (both body and sensor) falls in between two time-honored extremes....more

Once upon a time I wrote an article titled “Charting with ASP.NET and LINQ”. At the time I used a combination of WebForms, WCF, the Microsoft AJAX libraries, and the Microsoft chart control. I had some time to revisit the topic recently and rewrote the sample application using ASP.NET MVC and jQuery. You can download the sample here.

The idea behind the sample is to present a “dashboard” full of charts. I’ve worked on a few dashboards over the years, and they are always notoriously difficult to optimize without aggressive caching and asynchrony. In this sample the view drops placeholder images with enough information for JavaScript to come along and request each chart asynchronously. The result is a page that loads quickly and then fills with information over time.

There are a few interesting pieces to compare and contrast in the sample. We’ll look at them over the coming days.Once upon a time I wrote an article titled “Charting with ASP.NET and LINQ”.
