Hi, my nickname is KandalfGhost, I'm from Havana and I like to spend my free time here...
Post any comments in my user talk ...or in my inbox]

What I'm doing?

1. Studying computer engineering at CUJAE.
2. Working on a network node as 'webmaster'.
3. Using & enjoying Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon's GNU/Linux distribution.
4. Developing on XHTML, PHP & MySQL.

Things that I wish to do:

• Flight on a real airplane (not in a flight simulator)
• Meet to another planet intelligence being (why don't?)

• Play drums in a rock band (it's only a rakish idea)
• Asist to a Beatles concert (still sleeping, ZorphDark)
