OVI

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

Who or what is Ovi?

Ovi is my Nickname. Oliver is my Name. It was back then when I was a child and just learning how to pronounce words, when I called myself Ovi for the first time. My friends, my family members and people that are close to me, call me Ovi.

Now almost a year ago I met some people from Finland over the internet that have been working on a website called The Ovi for Finland. Since I already had my website www.oviwebportal.com offering web development services, I thought I could get together with the Ovi website in Finland and work together, since we had one thing in common: Ovi.

I created an example of a website which they agreed to use. Obviously they didn’t really want to give up the control over their site and wanted a content managment sistem. One of those sites that publish artcles with one click. Dynamic websites we call this. But of course they had no money and I have always had a hand for good people, so I decided to at least create them a cool website for free, even if it wasn’t a CMS.

“You get what you pay” some would say. And I really am sorry that after one year of work they haven’t been able to show any kind of apreciation. My advices and tips I gave them were rejected indirectly by just ignoring them and continuing to send me stuff to publish. Every week I had to edit their mp3 files from a radio show called “the bad boys” in Finland and when I really started to get busy it seemed as if they were actually blaming me for not “updating” the forum or things like that that THEY could have done or asked their server administrator, since it seems they did have money for that, no?

“My daughter is very very ill” one of them told me. He had just became a father as his friend and somehow I had to convince myself again to help them out. Ok, Oliver I said to myself… they have been good people and I wont loose anymore than I already have, no? So I decided to create a content managment sistem which is a real masterpiece since websites like www.BanderasNews.com have agreed to use from me.

BUT. The day came where I got kicked out. Without notice, they had created already a website with a contentmanagment sistem. Of course now they didn’t need me anymore. First they ILLEGALLY deleted all my contents from the playarta.com server. Blog and Forum. Of course I had a backup and restored everything since it was my blog, my server, my work. But then they went even more into damaging me. They really thought the DMCA would “punish” me for using their material. Of course what the DMCA didn’t know was that in the first place: They lied. They said that I had removed their names and placed mine instead!

The materials which they had written, were still on my servers of course, since everything went so quick that I wasn’t even notifyed by my hosting company about the issue. Of course they appologized after and still said that they had contacted me, but strangley I never heard from them.

Anyways, as far they want to go, I wont stop them. And actually I know where my legal limit is and where not. Just because a silly lie to DMCA caused my servers to shut down for a while, doesn’t mean anything. IN FACT IF they don’t fill out a lawsuit the DMCA says I have the right as my hosting company to RESTORE all the content, since it seems the claim was not justifyed.

What happened? Did they run out of money? Are they soooo busy with their soooo great magazine that they forgot they actually have to sue me? What’s wrong boyz???

Anyways. IF THIS WEBSITE is taken from public AGAIN. Without notice. Without REAL evidence and facts. I WILL SUE YOU BACK and every company involved in this issue. Yes I do not see the DMCA as a friend, since they have acted without really prooving their point.

Besides. Yes I will publish all this articles in Newspapers and will make sure that anyone who searches the TRUTH about Thanos Kalamidas, Asa Butcher or anyone involved in this ridiculous “Dogfight” like the DMCA, etc. will get to know how sad these people are spending their time in looking for something that is not there just to “bother” me a bit.

Please. You are not more than sand particles in my shoe. If you can’t sue me STOP molesting me with your silly “threats”.

Oh and Thanos… you have a Family to worry about, no? Isn’t your daughter very very sick? Or is it that she is a LIE too?

Cosmic DanceCosmic Dance
Mexican culture is just being re-discovered. In history we have traced happenings by collecting the left overs and by analyzing the symbols and objects we find. In many cases we are unable to determine a lot of things, in fact the most part of things that made and defined that culture.

But Mexico has survivors. Not all of the Mayan and Aztec tribes have vanished. Today we can not only tell this by looking at the actual indigenous races, but also by their language and life style. Languages, habits and even dances change with the time. But without analyzing the original native people from Mexico, we won’t be able to determine more than what we have found in dead objects, like the pyramids, artefacts and paintings.

It should not be easy to reconstruct the past, but much easier than trying to find answers to a tribe where nothing is left. Actual indigenous tribes are in total isolation from our civilization and continue their way of life. Some people analyze them for historical reasons, some others just because of interest and some, like Dan Arabel, study them to spread and reconstruct ancient rituals.

D. Arabel has started with her interest for mexican culture since she was a little girl. She was born in Mexico and has learned a lot of her countries past which she intends to use for her passion: Dance.

She has graduated in the Center of the Choreography Research of Fine Arts (CICO-INBA) and has participated in a range of International Art Festivals, creating ancestral dances, focusing in following the movements of some representative animals and some Maya codes in motion.

“My life’s roots are in the ancient and continuous Cosmo-Vision, that remind me of: the consciousness of my perpetual existence, of all that surrounds me, of the Earth, cosmos and their creations, of the natural elements and certainly…of the whole Cosmic Universe.”
