Inter-mess

Well, i don't complain... I'm finally conected from my computer. That means i have absolute freedom in order to use blogger and other stuff.
But i had to wait a hole bunch of events.

First, i had to buy a router. Well, i'm not very good at computers. Not at least in the hardware topic. So i just bought the cheapiest router i could find.

.... And i bought a D-Link DE-1200.
For the ones who are not familiarized, that router is an "only 10 Mbps" type. And it's so old, but SO old, that the company stopped releasing them since 1992 and you can only buy them in Rusia for 512 Rb. Nice, ah? So, as usual, i discovered that it was an antique and i couldn't use it.
So then i turned it back yesterday (Sunday) morning. And then i went into the journey of finding another one. With my dad.
At the end, we discovered (in fact, he discovered (i already knew)) that the cheapest router costs $31.000 (like U$56), so at that time we coludn't afford it.
And at last, when he was about to leave to work, he said to me "Son, connect your computer directly to the internet untill i get back".
So... Here i am. And i'm ready to explore like nobody has done it before.

Accounting

I was suposed to update. Since March 17th. But i can't. Actually, i don't want to. As soon as i buy the router and the cable. $4000 for the router Daniel offers. $15000 the cheapiest in any other store. Balance of $3241. $35000 borrowed to Daniel. $220 per meter of cable, plus $100 for each connector and $500 for installing them. Unless, that Daniel or Felipe know how to. It would be 2 meters from dad' pockets plus the difference 'till it reaches my roon, finnanced by me. And without considering the lunches. One hotdog (viennese, bread, mayo, ketchup, mustard) and water from the bathroom, $250 daily, once or twice a week. $2000 per month. Plus $110 for the bus, twice a day. Total of $1100 weekly. $4400 per month. Balance of -$3159. And that without considering the rise on the fuel's price, wich let the gas $16 higher. Gasoil at $290 approximately. Compensed with a rise of $10 each bus ticket. It will be $200. -$3359. Daniel gets a job. $31641. I return the money loaned from Felipe. $29641. Cover Elizabeth's book in plastic. $29141. Missing to calculate the meters to my room, less 2. Think on Pf = $[200 + 220(x - 2)] and if Inst_frnd=true, then c=0. Else, then c= 500 y Pf = $[700 + 220(x - 2)]. P(Daniel gets job)= 0.65. P(Daniel gets job/Daniel got a cold)=0.43. Payment in 20 days, average.

Mmmmm... I think i'll have to wait some more.
