Well, as some of you might know, I had an Xbox console. One day, I tried to turn it on but it just wouldn't light up. I brought it to a repairing store and they said it was the Power Supply Unit (PSU) that had a "problem". They just didn't say what it was and didn't fix it. I was pissed at them, until yesterday.

Yesterday I was searching for my old Xbox in the attic, and I found it. I brought it downstairs to my room and opened it, took out the PSU.
I applied my crescent Electronics knowledge and tried to figure out what happened to the PSU. I quickly found the problem. YEY FOR ME!!! "It was just a friggin fuse!!!", I thought, so I bought a new one and soldered it to the PSU. While I was searching for the problem, I noticed that they TOOK COMPONENTS OFF OF THE MOTHERBOARD!!!!!! I was REEEEALY mad. I started to think when I plugged the Xbox to the power line, it was not gonna function. But I had a little hope, so I went forward. I connected all the cables, closed my Xbox and grabbed the plug.

It was show time.

PSHEEEEW PAAHAHAHAHAAAA PSSZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!

PASHHHH PASSSHH SPZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bluish white glow is born in the core of the Black Box and it was BEAUTIFUL. Smoke levitates on top of the Box and a putrid smell 0f scorched transistors invades the room.
I unplug the plug and think "Oh sh*it!!".

I messed up BIG TIME!!!!!

Actually, I didn't, 'cause my parents wanted (when it stopped working) to throw it into the garbage can, but I didn't let them.

Finally, I asked my mom to get a pair of rubber gloves (because of the static and condensed electricity) and take it outside, because of the smell.


Inside, I was REALLY happy because I had never seen such awesomeness, but I didn't tell my mom 'cause she might would have said "WTF? You fried your Xbox and you're happy? *dials 112*"
lol


OK, bye!!!! ^^

Hello there!
Well, today - Sat. 19th April 2009 -, I went to participate with a group of three friends (me, Miguel and Lucas) in the Portuguese Chemistry Olympiads (Olimpíadas de Química) in the Aveiro University and.... guess what?































































































































WE WON! 1st PLACE!! W00T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Awesome, right? OMG, I'm still in shock! We spent the whole day like 'We're gonna win, we're the best', but we were just kidding, of course.
OMG, when our names were said, I (I believe they did too) just SWOOSH! My head froze. I didn't stand up, Lucas had to shake me so I could come back normal. LOL! It was SOO COOL receiving that huge applause. OMG, I'm still elektrik! omg... I'm so friggin happy! God!


Well, the 10th May we will participate in the National Olympiads, and WE'RE GONNA WIN! HAHA!!

Hello there. This is my first journal.
I'd like to know what genre(s), Bands, musics, etc. you like most!
One comment only, please... I can't make polls, so lets make this journal tidy and organized...

My favorite genre is METAL!!!

Well... Metal can be divided in many sub-genres.
Those I like the most are Progressive Metal (my favorite), Symphonic Metal, Melodic Black/Death Metal (or Metalcore), Industrial and Love Metal.



My favorite band is |Dream Theater!!! (progressive metal)
|Liquid Tension Experiment (DT's sister-band)

Other bands I like very much are:
Nightwish (Symphonic Metal), HIM (Love Metal), Children Of Bodom (Melodic Death/Black Metal), Rammstein (Industrial).


My MOST FAVORITE music is: "Octavarium", from the album Octavarium, Dream Theater. 24 minutes of PURE music!!! You can find no better than this.

Other friggin' great musics from DT:
ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!


The Album I like the most is: .... I don't know.. Dream Theater is SOO good.. I don't think I can chose ONE album... But "Scenes From A Memory" was the one that surprised me the most.


In my opinion, Dream Theater make the best lyrics in the world.




I HATE poor Hip-hop, RAP and Pop.

I can't stand listening to Rihanna and others like her, Eminem, Britney Spears, French Hip-hoppers, etc...


Waiting to see your likes and dislikes!
