Whoa, that was a grueling April!

But let's start off by saying this: one day I'm gonna get one of those Les Pauls. Especially now that we can safely conclude I'll never be as good as Gary Moore *sighs*. Oh well, at least I'm confident I can beat him in a programming contest at any given time.

Whoa, that was a grueling April! In case you're wondering what could possibly take place in a month, check this out: the Lakers managed to miss the playoffs for the first time in dunno how many years, Ferrari managed to win none of the concluded races, Liverpool and ManU each managed to lose twice, Anwar was outlasted by Scott, Romber wedded, we Catholics got ourselves a new pope, Firefox launched 1.0.3 -- and screwed my fav extension in the process (no worries, it has been fixed since, thank God for good people on the Net) -- and I? I learned more than I could care of about MQSeries, Tuxedo, and WebLogic Server installation on AIX. That, and how to migrate the friggin' data from PostgreSQL 6.5 to version 8.0 -- finally!

About that last one. Yes, it was long overdue. Yes, it was stupid to keep running on 6.5, with so many stability issues and limited features. Yes, it was mainly my own laziness -- as I always say, lazy people invented wheel and computer -- not to have done it sooner, seeing how long it would take.

Tiara had a date with a professional killer. To say that it was unthinkable would be an understatement. Never for once in her previous 32 years had she ever dreamed about having anything to do with a murderer. Yet, here she was, on her way to meet one. A very good one, she hoped.

It had all started when she had made up her mind a year ago: she had to kill her husband. At 38, Denny was a successful businessman, both by virtue of family inheritance and his own entrepreneurship savvy. As with most men, such power gave him the sense of invincibility. Noone told him what to do. Noone was above him.

So, naturally, he cheated on his wife. He never admitted this verbally, nor did he try to hide it. For years now Tiara had had to endure endless late homecomings and out-of-town meetings. She would have stopped caring years ago if not for Denny's abusive traits at home. She had had more bruises than she could even remember. Thankfully -- if such word could be applied here -- she did not have a fulltime job and hence the obligation to hide or explain them to people at work.

Rudy emerged from the subway train station and immediately his eyes wandered, trying to locate one particular woman. It was almost seven and the dusk had almost completely settled. The place by the river was, as always at this after-office hour, crowded with people still in their working attires. A favorite place for rendezvous this place was, with the stretch of pubs and restaurants and located at the heart of the city.

Being average looking at best, Rudy had been thrilled when this lady had agreed to meet him in person. He replayed last night's conversation in the chat room.

lilcharm: this guy really pissed me off. he kept calling even after i changed my no, musta gotten from my friend.
