Yesterday Bela Feck & the Fleckstones presented @ Argentina with a spectacular show. I listened and saw one of the most spectacular bass player performance ever seen performed by Victor Lemonte Wooten

If you enjoy listening or playing the bass guitar (in all its forms: tapping, slapping/poping, fingering, etc etc etc etc) this guy is someone you must know and listen to! 

By far, Victor was the most applauded artist in the shown so in that moment you don't know if the band should be called "Bela Fleck & the Fleckstones" or "Victor Wooten & the Wootenstones"!

After more that 2 years without holidays I could spent a couple of weeks in Florianopolis, Brasil with my Girlfriend so I'am back again and I will try to update the blog more frequently.

This is the first time I am posting using the Windows Live Writer so I hope it works fine. In the next week I will try to post something about the App Block Software Factory included in Entlib V3 (I think I will not have enough time to some kind of tutorials but I will be able to post some basic ideas), I am doing some investigation on Babel (a managed framework for creating a new Language Service in VS) and working on a lot of cool stuff.

Too many months without writing a single line of code in the blog… very bad. Thought this time I am writing because I’ve been tagged by VGA (Victor). So here you have five things that you probably don’t know about me:

1. I used to be a bass guitar player in a rock/funk/power trio. We did a couple of live concerts but we had a many troubles trying to find a singer. I have a 5 strings bass guitar because I’ve been influenced by my first professor to use the bass as it were a guitar for some things. I am also looking for a 6 strings bass guitar… I like the Ibanez SR506 very much.
2. I like sports very much. I played football in many clubs when I was a boy. Then, the college, work, etc took me off the field. Nowadays, I sometimes play with my friends.
3. I have recently achieved my Information System Engineer grade in the UTN, a very well known university in Bs As, Argentina. I am very happy with this. I think I will have more free time to social life, catch up in other technologies apart from the ones I use every day, play the bass guitar, etc.
4. I started programming in Pascal, then VB5, C, C++, Smalltalk, Prolog, C#, Java. I like OOD/OOP very much. Actually, I am working for Clarius (a really cool company in Bs As) and I am part of the Enterprise Library V3 team doing really cool stuff there as well. Before, when I was working for Certant SA, we did a pseudo struts MVC for Java 1.2 with HT and HG that is working very well so far. This was my first framework/dev tool/… I will always be very happy with that work.
5. I met my super really cool girlfriend in my previous job. She is an engineer and works as a dev as well in a software company called Lagash Systems.

So this is it, I want to tag: Sole, HT and Gustavo Brey

Hi!, my name is Adrian Alonso. I’m a Java and .Net developer from BsAs, Argentina. I have the necessity to share my thoughts with everyone who enjoy the OOP/OOD world so I decided (like did a lot of people) to start blogging about the things that make me spend time when I supposed that I might be watching tv, sleeping or another different matter… see you soon
