Good news for Christmas

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Well, this has not been a good year overall for me, but it seems it might end a little better than it started… FIATC, my burned car’s insurance company is doing a straight good job, so I will get a fair compensation for my car’s lost, hopefully over the next week. Hurrah!
Now that it seems […]

Burned out

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

Sadly, the subject of this post is not related in any way to the console game.
Following is the actual state of my beloved car (as of beautiful, useful and non problematic), a 2005 Honda Civic which always worked like a charm.

The Civic was correctly parked in front of my house when yesterday at 3am the […]

Spartans and their laconic phrases

Monday, July 16th, 2007

From the Wikipedia: A “Laconic phrase” is a very short or terse statement, named after Laconia, an area of modern and ancient Greece. Laconians focused less on the development of education, arts, and literature. Some view this as having contributed to the Laconian characteristically blunt speech. The Spartans were especially famous for their dry wit, […]

Amazon S3: un servicio bueno, bonito y barato pero nada práctico.

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Recientemente compré (y luego cancelé) una cuenta de Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Un espacio de almacenamiento virtual, digámosle un disco duro, a un precio muy competitivo.
Con S3, pagas tan sólo lo que usas. En dos conceptos diferentes: por espacio que consumes al mes, y por peticiones que recibe el servidor.

Volunteering on Plone… when communication fails

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

UPDATE:

There was a MISUNDERSTANDING when writing this post: Someone applied for me to the Plone Foundation committee,
or there was a bug in the Plone site workflow with a wrong ending.

A fantastic rss reader: readermini.com

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

I have been searching for a good rss reader since I switched my Nokia N800 for a Nokia 770, as the latter doesn’t come with a default application for handling news feeds. And since I had already found a truly perfect image viewer, this became the last software I needed to complete what was a […]

De conferencias con una Psion 5mx

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Hace unos días tuve la oportunidad de asistir a la PHP Conference 2007 spring edition celebrada en Stuttgart, Alemania. Dada la experiencia de conferencias anteriores, sabía al 100% que no quería llevar un portátil a las sesiones… Lo he hecho otras veces y odio tener que arrastrar los kilos de tecnología a todas partes para […]

Passion & progression

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Please, let me allow myself to take this graph out of context and publish it here with a slightly different meaning:
Without passion, there is no way to excel on anything in this life.
