Despues de largo periodo de no postear por falta de tiempo libre, me saco el gusto de tocar un tema de Mana que realmente me encanta. Y que por cierto cae en el momento justo , ya que la banda de rock mexicano esta nuevamente sonando como hace muchos años no lo hacia, debido a que esta actualmente de gira y acaba de lanzar nuevo album.

Soda Stereo - De Musica Ligera - Cover guitarra
Tributo al talentoso músico Gustavo Cerati, el cual hemos disfrutado su música por tantos años y que ahora lamentablemente esta luchando por su vida y con muy pocas esperanzas de vida.
Esta fue la última canción tocada en la gira despedida de Soda Stereo, por lo tanto tiene un significado especial, aparte de ser una canción con muchisima fuerza.

Uruguay en el mundial Sudafrica 2010
Terminó el mundial Sudafrica 2010 el cual dejó muchas sensaciones positivas sobre todo para nosotros los uruguayos. Previamente al comienzo del mundial, ya me generaba mucha ansiedad y expectativa, 
simplemente por romper la monotonía y el poder disfrutar durante un mes entero de partidos de futbol de primer nivel. Cuando uno es hincha de un país participante, se tiene la mayor de las expectativas en cuanto a que su selección llegue lo mas alto posible, pero siempre con cierta cuota de realismo. En mi caso pensaba que pasar la primera fase ya era un buen papel, y lo mismo escuché de jugadores, por lo tanto la cuarta posición lograda era realmente algo inpensado, como dijo Forlán al finalizar el mundial. Los dias previos a cada partido nuestro se vivian con mucha ansiedad y queriendo escuchar el pitazo inicial lo antes posible, luego, ver los partidos junto a mi familia y poder transmitirle a mi mujer que no es uruguaya las emociones que afloran al ver un partido en el mundial y la manera como nosotros vivimos el futbol fue algo muy lindo, y parece que lo logré ya que a medida que Uruguay avanzaba ella se fue contagiando y llegó a vivir los ultimos partidos como una hincha mas, cosa que no pasaba al principio, sobre todo cuando todavía quedaban las selecciones de más nombre . 
Metiendome de lleno en lo que fue la participación celeste, desde el punto de vista de hincha debo decir que núnca había visto una seleccion jugar, sentir, sudar, con ese sentimiento de rebeldia, y meter como ésta, pero hubo un factor mas que importante: quedo demostrado que el equipo jugó buen futbol, ya que con todos esos atributos si bien importantes no es suficiente para llegar adonde lo hicieron, y creo que eso fue lo que impactó al mundo entero ya que Uruguay no estaba en los planes de nadie. En lo estrictamente futbolístico, el equipo fue notoriamente de menos a más, comenzando con una pálida actuación contra Francia, casi decepcionante en lo personal tomando en cuenta los meses de espera para ver a la celeste, pero con el atenuante que jugamos
contra una de las potencias futbolísticas, aunque devaluadas lo cual quedó demostrado ya que no pasaron la primera fase y se despidieron vergonzosamente. Ya en el segundo partido todo cambió, y Uruguay le propinó una paliza al dueño de casa, con goleada incluida y rompiendo el record de 20 años sin ganar un partido en mundiales. Luego le tocó al turno a Mexico, el cual fue la victoria mas disfrutada hasta ese momento. Con todo mi respeto hacia ese país, pienso que los mexicanos siempre se piensan que tienen mas poderío del que realmente tienen, y su patriotismo es exasperante, lo cual se puede apreciar claramente viviendo en USA y tratándolos, por lo cual fue muy justa nuestra victoria y no hizo otra cosa que bajarlos a tierra, ya que luego de su victoria ante Francia ya pensaban en ganar el campeonato mundial, algo totalmente fuera de sus posibilidades.
Ahora si, en la fase de eliminación directa fue donde Uruguay empezo a hacerse un lugar en el corazón de todos, primero ganandole a Corea del Sur a la uruguaya, osea ganando con mucho sufrimiento, y con el corazon en la boca hasta el final del partido. Y luego en lo que fue el partido mas emocionante de todo mundial, y que va a quedar en la historia de los mundiales ya que es difícil que exista un partido con una serie de incidencias como las que hubieron. Comenzando con la atajada de un delantero, Suarez, en el último minuto reglamentario y en donde el gol significaba la eliminación. Seguido con el penal estrellado en el travesaño; luego definición por penales donde el arquero uruguayo ataja 2 penales, y la frutilla sobre la torta con el último penal ejecutado por el "loco"Abreu picandola, como ya tantas veces lo había hecho en otras definiciones, pero que por suerte el arquero de Ghana nunca las había visto. Después de esto podria haber terminado el mundial tranquilamente, realmente este partido en cuanto a emociones fue insuperable. En semifinales, lugar al cual no se llegaba desde hacía 40 años en Mexico '70, Uruguay no pudo con la naranja mecánica a pesar de hacer todo lo posible pero por varios factores como ser que el equipo llego diezmado, sin Suarez, y Forlán ya cansado por la seguidilla de partidos; los errores arbitrales que nos fueron cocinando poco a poco ya sea con faltas y offsides inexistentes y hasta un gol holandés en posicion adelantada; y la puntería de los holandeses. Asi y todo se estuvo cerca con un gol uruguayo ya finalizando el partido, pero no se pudo completar la hazaña y el marcador quedo 2-3.
Finalmente se llegó al septimo partido, aunque no fue el de la tal ansiada final, pero sin embargo fue el del tercer puesto que significaba mucho para nuestro país, teniendo la posibilidad de quedar en el podio y de vencer a Alemania la cual nos había derrotado en la misma situación en el mundial Mexico '70. Este partido fue el único donde lo vimos fuera de casa, en un sportsbar especializado en eventos en vivo donde no pude contar no mas de 10 personas, y en la cual en una punta del bar había una mesa de hinchas alemanes, y en la otra punta nosotros con nuestros atuendos celestes, lo cual fue muy divertido ya que cada uno pudo gritar sus goles aunque al final fueron ellos los que se fueron felices. Realmente se estuvo muy cerca de lograr ese tercer puesto, pero esta vez los errores defensivos y la mala suerte al estrellar un tiro libre en el travesaño or parte de Forlán en el último minuto, nos privaron del podio que hubiera sido mas que merecido. 
Con el transcurso de los partidos, esta selección generó en el hincha sentimientos de orgullo, emocion, alegria y sobretodo esa confianza de que realmente se le podía ganar a cualquier equipo sin importar quien fuera el adversario. El único aspecto negativo si es que se puede considerar asi, fue que no se ganó la copa del mundo. Quizas para llegar a ese sitio de prestigio, se necesita algo más, pero realmente quedó en el aire esa sensación de que se estuvo muy cerca de lograrlo, y que si el "maestro" Washington Tabarez sigue al frente, como asi parece ser al momento de escribir esta nota, ese sueño pueda ser una realidad en Brasil 2014.
Mención especial para el Balon de Oro, "pichichi' Forlán estandarte de la selección, manija del equipo, el cual ha recibido todo tipo de premios a raíz de su actuación fenomenal. Bienvenido a la aristocracia del futbol mundial, que usted se lo merece.
Ahora, ya todo terminado volvemos a la rutina, pero esta participación va a quedar marcada para siempre en nuestra memoria. Felicidad Uruguay por este cuarto puesto !!!

I am back with 3 new guitar covers, since I spent some time by myself on the last few weeks, having the family away. The covers are for 2 Metallica's Black album classics I used to practiced on the 90's, Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven. And a great song from uruguayan rock band La Trampa, named Caida Libre.
Also I sold the POD XT Live multieffects since I don't play live, and the M-Audio interface, instead I bought a Tone port UX1. End results are much better in my opinion for home recording with the smaller interface, and using either the POD Farm or Gearbox software packages included with the UX1. In top of that I even made some money on ebay.

PMP Lessons Learnt based on PMBOK 4th 10/17/09
Finally after a long summer studying for the PMP certification, I sat for the exam on Saturday 10/17 and I passed on my first try. This article is about my experience with the PMP exam which might help others starting the same path, but also telling my personal story, so it might be quite long for some people to read.
Background: IT lead developer, and project manager for ERP and E-Commerce implementations, for small sized projects. About beginning of this year I thought the best way to be prepared on this bad economic times was getting a certification and I found the PMP certification more valuable than technical courses I used to do in the past, which was my other option.
Study plan: I did not develop a study plan from the beginning, instead I did a progressive elaborated plan where I was completing one step and then planning the next one. I knew important family events were close like the birth of our first child, so I preferred not to plan in advance, and go one step at a time. At the end, all the study process took me about 4-5 months elapsed time, but I would say an effort of about 200+-40 hs. I have read LL's of people taking not more than a month, which that really is remarkable, but I personally think it takes some time for the brain to process such high volume of information, and also I feel lucky I have a life which does not let me spend that many hours studying per day. Here you have to find whatever plan works for you, and whatever worked for me might be probably a slow process for some people, and fast for others.
I started this journey on April 2009, at that moment I started browsing the internet for information and right away I decided I would shoot for the 4th edition exam. First issue: not enough study material for this edition was available on the market.
Step1 Contact hours: browsing the internet found Cornelius Fitchner Prepcast which seemed too good to be true, spent a weekend reading reviews which convinced me it was the product I was needing, decided to purchase it on that weekend but found out the 4th edition was not ready until the end of the month. So to gain some time purchased the PMBOK at $65 on ebay, and started reading it, to be honest I was not able to finish it. I found only scope and time management were understandable knowledge areas to me since were the only ones I had experience with. I realized that it was wasted time to keep reading it with no other source of information to understand what I was reading, so kept waiting for the prepcast. Finally in may it was released and since I subscribed to a waiting list, I got a discount and cost $70. Going thru the Prepcast took me elapsed time of 6 weeks, 2 hs on a daily basis after work. I passed the prepcast test on June 28th, which allowed me to print the 35 contact hours certificate and started planning the next phase.
Step 2 Fill application: After an alternatives analysis of paying the exam fee versus PMI membership+discounted exam fee, opted for the latter. Paid $129 for the PMI membership and started filling the PMP exam application (elapsed time about 3 days)
Step 3 slow reading of PMBOK, it seemed a total different book after completing the prepcast compared to the first useless reading. On this reading I focused on understanding concepts more than studying or memorizing, and the whole methodology started now to make sense to me (Elapsed time of 4 weeks)
Step 4 faster reading of PMBOK now on study mode, repeating thru what I thought were important concepts (Elapsed time 2 weeks)
After several weeks of reading, it was about time to get the feeling of exam questions. I found a highly recommended blog at deepfriedbrain.blogspot.com with tons of resources for passing the exam. In particular I used the 'Free mock exams' section, which I started working bottom up. Just after a few questions, I realized too many questions were referring to topics I ever read. Until that moment I thought the prepcast+PMBOK were all the resources I needed, it happened they were not enough and I was needing to issue a change request. So I started reviewing prep books, and the obvious option seemed to be Rita's book, by far the most recommended book.
Step 5 bought Rita Mulcahy 6th edition, at ebay for $60. Following the book recommendations, started by doing all chapter questions before reading the book, which averaged 75%. Then completed the reading of the book (elapsed time 4 weeks)
Step 6 fast reading of Ritas book emphasizing on charts and chapter exercises which I did not completed, I always went directly to the answers except the Rita's process game, time management and earned value exercises(elapsed time 1 week)
Step 7 memorizing by photocopying the 9 knowledge area ITTOS, formulas I got from the web, PMBOK and Rita's process charts on both pages 43, PMBOK summary on Appendix F, and various Rita's exercises like actions to complete each process group, roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder, etc.
Up to this point, I did all the study with no rush since: 1- I preferred to sit for the exam after our baby was born, and 2- did not schedule an exam date which would have put some pressure. I think this was a good approach, but also I have to agree that feeling the pressure of a schedule date helps to not over studying which I felt at some point. Break of 1 week when having a baby, if that is not a good reason for stopping what is it!!!
Step 8 After the break, analyzed the best possible date for the exam, and scheduled it for 10/17 at 1pm. Up to that moment I did not know it was possible to sit on a Saturday and it seemed to be a good option so I did not have to ask for the day off.
Step 9 In order to get in full exam mode, reviewed list of mock exam websites from the blog I recommended before, and discarded the ones from older editions, and others with inconsistent questions (more than 4 answers per question, duplicated answers, or empty answers), so finally collected a list of added value exams and planned to start with 2 hs duration exams and finish the preparation with full 4 hs exam. I planned to spend the following 5 days answering exams, until completing the list. The first few of them helped to understand the type of questions I may find, and also analyzed and learnt from failed answered questions. Some of the mock exams with their corresponding scores were: PM Educate 68%, IT World 58%, Prepare PM 84%, Tech FAQ 360 78%, PM Study 82%, Head First PMP 81%, Oliver Lehman online 72% and Oliver Lehman downloadable 75%. During this final phase, my confidence was boosted day by day and at the end I really felt confident about passing.
Finished with the exam taking phase, 4 days before the exam and then dedicated to review knowledge areas I scored poorly on the exams, like HR and social responsibility, also reviewed once again ITTOS and charts on Rita's book. Next day I did not study, and with 2 days left tried one exam more pretending I was on the examination room, doing things like not going to the restrooms or drinking anything for the 4 hs duration but not much luck with it. This was the only commercial exam I paid for, from PMStudy which I scored 85%. It seemed pretty easy and it really did not make much effort. Day before the exam took a final review, and already feeling nervousness and excitement for being so close. I skimmed thru as much as I could and managed to review everything I needed, anyway the dices were already rolling and I was not going to learn anything new at that point.
Day of the exam: slept alone in the bedroom and managed to sleep much needed 8 hs, played a little with the baby and had an omelet before leaving, I was feeling pretty relaxed. Took a banana and gatorade with me, in case I decided to take a break.
Environment: the place was crowded, most of the positions were in use, probably they were sitting for another exam since people were too young for PMP. Many of them fast typing on the keyboard and making too much noise. Tried the headsets and they were canceling most of the noise but I had to take them off a couple of times since they were not comfortable on my ears after using them for hours. I started with the tutorial, and the message was saying to start in 1 minute or the exam would end, oops better press the button quickly. I went thru the tutorial as fast as I could in about 3 minutes, and started the brain dump sheet as I read on other LL posts. I wrote the formulas first, and then the process chart from page 43, and managed to do it right on time.
The exam: It was way much difficult than any of the mock exams I did.Most of the questions were situational.I was hardly ever sure I was answering correctly, most of the time I had to pick between the 2 potential right answers.All this made me go extremely slow, comparing to the time it took me to answer on the mock exams. I Only took one break around the 3hs mark to go to the restrooms, but did not take the snack. After the break I focused on not making such a long thought process and just take a decision, even when I was not sure of the right answer because I was not going to be able to finish on time. I even had to drop the coin on 2 EVM questions I knew I had no time to go thru a math problem resolution. Finally I finished the 200 questions with 20 minutes left, having about 15 marked questions, and 7 unanswered questions, which I managed to finish on time. Along the 4 hs the nervousness got in crescendo, because I started pretty confident and taking the time to answer each question, and finished really worried to the point I was shaking. Getting the results was pretty disturbing. I knew there was going to be a survey at the end, but I thought that was going to be presented after showing the results. So after processing the results which took a few seconds, I thought I saw I message box flickering which I could not read anything and then right away the survey screen popped up, at that moment I thought I failed because I was expecting the Congratulations screen. So I canceled the survey screen and only after that the Congratulations screen popped up, so watch out the survey comes before the results. After that final take, I spent shaking for 15 minutes, but extremely happy and relieved.
It has been an atypical summer, no exercising, no spending time on hobbies, and no weekends, but finally I was rewarded with the PMP certification which I hope will help me on my personal and professional growth. I hope this story will help to others on the road of becoming a PMP, and any questions more than welcome.
My scores were:
Initiating - Moderately Proficient
Planning - Moderately Proficient
Executing - Moderately Proficient
Monitoring and Controlling - Moderately Proficient
Closing - Proficient
Professional and Social Responsibility - Moderately Proficient

Nacional campeon Uruguayo 2008/2009
Este es mi humilde homenaje a mi querido Club Nacional de Football, el cual recientemente se coronó campeon del futbol uruguayo temporada 2008/2009. Esta es la sexta vez que se apoderan del torneo uruguayo en la presente década, lo cual sería algo asi como un sexenio alternado, para los que siguen festejando quinquenios del siglo pasado. Aunque lejos en el exterior, tuve la dicha de poder ver muchos partidos de los distintos torneos ya que la copa Libertadores, donde el club llegó a semifinales, es televisada por Fox Sports en español, mientras que el 
torneo uruguayo se televisa, aunque en inglés, por la cadena Gol TV. Aconsejo a otros uruguayos en el exterior adquirir alguno de los paquetes en español de DirecTV el cual proporciona varios canales de habla hispana, entre los cuales los canales ya mencionados. Las fotos del festejo con copa en mano, muestran algunos de las figuras mas salientes de la temporada, veteranos como O.J. Morales, el 'hueso' Romero, 
el cacique 'Medina', que junto a jovenes figuras como Lodeiro, el 'Morro' García y Coates, y el aporte de los argentinos 'Matute' Morales y Dominguez, conformaron una excelente mezcla de experiencia, juventud y talento extranjero. Lamentablemente como ya es historia repetida en el futbol uruguayo, la mayoría de estos jugadores van a emigrar y por lo tanto va a existir una renovación del plantel, al igual que el DT, ya que Jorge Pelusso ha renunciado a la dirección técnica, afirmando que el proceso que lo ligó a Nacional y que ha durado aproximadamente 2 años y medio ha 
terminado. Que distinto fuera si esta misma estructura perteneciera a un club europeo donde los procesos puedieran ser más extensos, debido a que no existen tantos problemas económicos. Si con dos años de trabajo en conjunto, este equipo llegó a semifinales de la Libertadores, quien sabe adonde hubiera llegado si el mismo equipo continuara trabajando en la próxima temporada, lamentablemente esas son las condiciones del futbol Uruguayo.Por todo lo logrado en esta temporada, felicidades Nacional y Salud campeones !!!
Claro que la alegría no sería completa, si al eterno rival Peñarol le fuera bien. Pues sucede exactamente lo contrario, este club atraviesa una inmensa crisis institucional, deportiva y económica. Ya vendrán tiempos mejores para el 'manya'. Este es sin duda el momento del 'bolso' y al 'manya' no le queda otra que aceptar las cargadas, para muestra solo falta un botón dicen:

Metallica - One - Cover by Mogul
Cover of Metallica's One off the ... And justice for all album. One of my first favourite songs from Metallica. I remember I used to play it when I started playing guitar, with my old Peavy strat and it was almost impossible to me. I thought I would never be able to play it decently, but now that I've been practicing for almost one year I could nail it. I had a hard time trying to download a decent tone for the clean part from the POD tones library, the one I finally decided to use is not very similar to the one played on the real song but it does the job. On the other side, this is my first experiment merging different guitar parts, which I did at 6:20. Played with my Ibanez RG5EX1, POD XT Live, and M-Audio Fast Track USB audio interface.
