So it has come to this...

My name is Francisco Geada Rodríguez, I am a computer systems engineering student (don't ask which semester) at ITESM CEM.

My main expectation for this course is to get the dreaded compilers course out of the way so I can finally graduate. Fine, I also want to learn how a compiler works because compilers have always worked on magic for me.

Some of my interests include technology, music, videogames, literature, cats, nature, art, and internet subcultures.

If I were not studying computer engineering, I would definitely be an anthropologist. A big part of my interests include anthropological subjects such as history, linguistics, ethnicity, religion, geopolotics, the art of war, and social culture. Not to sound like some alien supervillain, but humankind is truly interesting.

Finally for some recommendations:

Videogames: Aside from TLOZ Breath of the Wild which is already widely spoken of, I would recommend A Hat in Time, an amazing indie game which truly pays tribute to the early 3D platformers that saw us grow up.

Books: I recently finished reading the "El Libro de los Heroes" saga by Mexican author Antonio Malpica (who I happen to be friends with), a very gritty, bloody, dark, and complex story about heroes and demons. Even though you may find these books in the "teens" section, don't be too quick to dismiss them, they will surely take you on an emotional roller coaster of terror, fear, panic, and all kinds of flavors of horror.

Music: My definitive 2017 album was To the Bone by Steven Wilson. A clever mix between progressive rock and art pop that is sure to make you feel all kinds of stuff. From the Abba-sounding Permanating, to the angry progressive ode Detonation, this album was love at first listen for me, and has been engraved as one of my top 4 albums of all time (along with such classics as Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkings).

Movies: I've been in a Star Wars frenzy since last year, so that's pretty much all I've been watching lately.

Series: Now that we're reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, an appropiate recommendation would be some of Adams' other work. You can find both seasons of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on Netflix, and I can tell you this: they are quite the ride.

I don't see what else could I say about myself or compilers, so, let's leave it here. Have a great time reading.
