394 - Oveja sistemas

They made up their minds and they started packing...

Aquel otoño de 1995, el panorama de las ciencias computacionales se extendía árido.
La programación estructurada y las clases de cálculo forzaban mi capacidad de razonar y entender la relaciones numéricas.

El dibujo que precede este texto está lleno de detalles de toda aquella época.

Ya en 1998, a principios de 1999, con la carrera ya terminada una canción me recuerda todo aquello.

They made up their minds 
And they started packing 
They left before the sun came up that day 
An exit to eternal summer slacking 
But where were they going without ever 
Knowing the way? 

They drank up the wine 
And they got to talking 
They now had more important things to say 
And when the car broke down they started walking 
Where were they going without ever 
Knowing the way? 

[Chorus:]
Anyone can see the road that they walk on 
Is paved in gold 
And it's always summer 
They'll never get cold 
They'll never get hungry 
They'll never get old and grey 
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere 
They won't make it home 
But they really don't care 
They wanted the highway 
They're happier there today, today 

"Their children woke up and they couldn't find them, they left before the sun came up that day." 
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em 
But where were they going without ever 
Knowing the way?

But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

En fin, hoy más de una década después esa letra sigue teniendo sentido. A pesar que todo ha avanzado, poco ha cambiado.

He cambiado pero sigo siendo el mismo.

Feliz Día Computólogos.
