Buenas! Soy Joaquin Grech, o Creative1. La version en castellano la pongo al final del
email. (ojo que no son exactamente iguales)
Hi there! This is Joaquin Grech, an NYU student...
First I appologize if you shouldn't be receiving this email, I am replying to my whole
inbox (I had no idea I had more than 2 email address on it) and I removed by hand
some of them but I couldn't remove all of them. Anyway, since you are in my inbox you
know me for one or another reason :)
As you most likely know, Im currently in Madrid working my butt off to try to get
money and finish my degree at nyu. Ironically nyu has its special International
Students Office and clubs, but do NOT give any kind of scholarship or finantial help
to international students. So at my senior year Im seen that most likely I won't be
able to finish my degree eventhough the Office International Students' dean (Anne
Blatz) keeps in touch with me and seriously, she tries her best to help us
(international students) out, I have no complain about her as been the best dean I
know. Ok, enough bitching about nyu...
The point is, with the money I paid a semester tuition at nyu Im able to start 10
companies in Spain (that gives lot to think about...), so that's what I did. I have
started my own company to try to get enough money to go back to ny and get my degree
before deadline, and here is the result: http://www.bocazas.com
The idea behind bocazas is to make publicly available what I was doing for years,
anytime I had a question or was searching for information I wrote at forums, searched
the web, but most importantly I entered a chat network and joined whatever channel
(#math #history #c++) and asked for help. I even started several years ago my own
non-profit chat network joining some universities and companies as most of you know,
which is currently the biggest latino international chat network in the world (2
users per day), but lot of people doesn't even know that the chat can be of so much
help, they see it as a 'flirt' place.
So yeah, you can go into bocazas, register your own channel of whatever kind of
subject you like in any chat network or enter any registered channel that already
figures there (any language, any country, etc...) and put a direct link from your own
website (or email)
I also added forums just in case you need them and added my own chat program that can
be downloaded and put in any website (on this first week I got more than 700 downloads
and very good comments on it, I'm sleeping quite happy lately, I must admit that the
program is quite impressive too :)
Ok, all of that is for free, so you might be wondering how I'm planning to get money.
Well, right now I have 3 options:
1) The chat program you use has publicity, my website has publicity, and as today it
is showing more than 3 banners per day, so if anybody wants to put publicity on
it... you are more than welcome :)
2) If anybody wants the chat program modified without showing my logo or banners, and
showing your logo and your banner (like any internet portal or company), you can
register it.
3) If anybody wants to remove my logo and ads from the forum they can pay a fee too,
so they can add that on their company website.
Ok, basically that's it, thanks alot to most of you guys who have been very supportive
testing all my programming 'skills' (yep, I call those numerous old crashes skills
hehe :) and special thanks to my nyu (Tete, Joe, Deana) and union latina friends
(Juanito, Floria, Trencitas, Praedo, Natja, Mundofly...) who are there always for me.
ps. I hope nyu sees that it is irrational not to give their own merit scholarships to
ANY nyu student, EVEN international ones (and I don't mean a $2000 for a $32000
tuition) I hope some smart guy at nyu get this email. Economy is down big time in
other countries compared to USA, that amount is huge!

Buenas!
Primero disculpadme sino deberiais estar recibiendo este email, estoy respondiendo a
todo mi buzon de inbox (no tenia ni idea de que tenia mas de 2 direcciones email
ahi) y he borrado unas cuantas a mano pero no he podido con todas. De todas formas si
estas en mi inbox es que me debes de conocer por uno u otro motivo :)
Como seguramente sepas, actualmente estoy en Madrid matandome a currar para conseguir
dinero y terminar mi carrera en la universidad de nueva york (nyu). Curiosamente nyu
tiene su particular club y oficina para estudiantes internacionales pero no dan un
duro en becas ni en nada si eres extranjero. Asi que me temo que a falta de un a¤o
para terminar mi carrera no podre conseguirlo por falta de dinero, a pesar e que estoy
en contacto continuo con la dean de la oficina de estudiantes internacionales (Anne
Blatz) quien, todo hay que decirlo, intenta ayud
