RE: Finite resources, infinite growth->

Philip proposes that we should modify the entire human race for them to have fewer possibilities to reproduce as a measure of birth control. As a prerequisite you will need to modify every single newborn, if we had the resources to influence how every single new person is born, we would actually be at the point where we could stop thos non desired borns in a much simpler way...

Anyway, there's an easier way that actually has many other upsides. Philip, let's solve poverty instead of proposing sci-fi :-)

Evince outreach the Windows platform->

In february, I made a post about how nice a proper Windows port of evince could be. Well, seems like some lads have been actually working on it in the meantime and finally all the patches to make it work are in place. Special mentions goes to Alan Horkan for starting the ball rolling, Hib Ebris for doing all the work and Carlos Garcia Campos for reviewing and committing all the patches.



The only reamaining task is to create an easy to use installer and make it part of the standar release process, Hib and Jody Goldberg are already working on it. Once that's done we'll be ready to add Evince to the FSF PDF readers page.

First day at Codethink!->

Last week I left Dublin and moved to Manchester and last Monday I found a flat already! However, the paperwork involved is still keeping me to move in. In the meantime I'm staying at Rob's place, who's kindly hosting me. I still have to get a National Insurance number and a bank account, then gas, electricity, broadband... the boring side of moving abroad.

Anyway, I'm already getting up to speed on Codethink stuff, the work environment looks great and the workmates are awesome! Cannot talk much about the project I'm going to be working on, you know, SecretStuff(TM), but it's gonna be really cool! Stay tuned :-)

She work it girl, she work the pole
She break it down, she take it low
She fine as hell, she about the dough
She doing her thing out on the floor
Her money money, she makin' makin'
Got the way she shakin'
Make you want to touch it, make you want to taste it
Have you lustin' for her,
go crazy face it

She's so much more than you're used to
She know's just how to move to seduce you
She gone do the right thing and touch the right spot
Dance in you're lap till you're ready to pop

She always ready, when you want it she want it
Like a nympho, the info
I show you where to meet her
On the late night, till daylight the club jumpin'
If you want a good time, she gone give you what you want

Baby It's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here,
you got me saying

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front-- of me

In her fantasy, there's plain to see
Just how it be, on me, backstrokin',
Sweat soaking
All into my set sheets
When she ready to ride, I'm ready to roll
I'll be in this bitch till the club close
What should I do, on all fours
Now that that shit should be against the law
Different style, different move,
Damn I like the way you move
Girl you got me thinking about,
All the things I'd do to you
Let's get it poppin' shorty
We can switch positions
From the couch to the counters in my kitchen

Baby It's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
Ooh she wants it, Ooh she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
She wants it, Hmm she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
I got to give it to her

Baby It's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me

Loquillo y los trogloditas - La matare->




letra

Yo la sentaba en mi regazo,
enloquecía sólo a su contacto.
La he conservado en la memoria.
Tal como estaba.
Siempre a mi lado.
Nunca me juró su amor
lo creía eterno yo.
Y ella me sonreía y
miraba hacia el mar.

Me emborrachaba entre sus brazos
ella nunca bebía, ni la vi llorando,
yo hubiera muerto por su risa.
Hubiera sido su feliz esclavo.
Qué dolor sucio y traidor
me envenena el corazón.
Sé que ella nunca enloqueció.
Jamás perdió el control.

Quiero verla bailar entre los muertos,
la cintura morena que me volvió loco,
llevo un velo de sangre en la mirada,
y un deseo en el alma,
que jamás la encuentre.
Sólo quiero que una vez
algo la haga conmover.
Que no la encuentre jamás
o sé que la mataré.

Por favor sólo quiero matarla.
A punta de navaja
Besándola una vez más.

Día de natación->

En verano hay días que son de “piscina”, en general, y otros que podemos denominar “de natación”.
Hoy ha sido uno de los segundos, que he disfrutado especialmente ya que como se puede apreciar en la foto, he tenido la piscina municipal para mi solito.
Cuando parece que hace mal tiempo la gente no usa mucho la instalación, pero hoy ha sido el extremo.

RHCE naiz!->

Astebetez Madrilgo beroak jasaten ibili ostean, RHCE agiria lortu det, “crown jewel of Linux certifications” izenez ere ezagutua. Red Hat ez da inondik ere nire banaketa gustokoena, Gentoo eta Debian nahiago ditudalako, baina lan kontuetan ez da beste erreferenterik kasi.

Azterketa ez da zaila; 3.5 ordutan burutu beharrekoa eta dena kontrolpean izanda azken ordu erdia libre ’soberan’ dago kasi. Urteetan GNU/Linux erabili duten administrarientzat azterketa xinplea da baina badira SELinux bezelako kontu batzuk egunerokotasunean oraindik ikutzen ez direlako pixkat arrotzak egiten zaizkigunak.

Norbait noizbait animatzen bada eta kezkarik  badu edo kuriositate morbosoa soilik, nire experientzia gustora kontatuko nioke. Ezin azterketaren ingurukoak idatzi, konfidentzialtasun klausula bat sinatu behar delako (flipaus!).

Ea orain honi esker lan kontuak hobetzen diren!

On competition (Was RE: Back Home)->

Just come across on this post from Rodrigo Moya, beloved GNOME hacker and friend. He is sort of upset by the amount of duplicated work and he is sort of sad about the feeling of competition between free software projects and the duplicity of work that it implies.

Somwhat Rodrigo thinks that we would be better off if we worked together instead of competing among each other. Up to some extend I agree that a level too high of fragmentation is not any good as long as you pursue the success of the freedesktop.

However, I do think that competition is essential, and instead of discouraging it, we should try to understand why peolpe have to start so many different projects to get something right. I would like to share some thoughts about this:

  • Building a team of developers is hard, for a team to work well there should be some sort of complicity, vision and easy going atmosphere in a community. And that means that the group of people creating a project have to share the bulk of a common vision. This involves having good leaders, good software architects and perform a good promotion of the project among the open source community.
  • Competition and fragmentation are two different things. Ideally competitors have to follow a certain set of common rules, and more importantly, they should participate in the process to set the rules (standards), this is, if competitors pursue the best for their users. Fragmentation only spreads confusion ammong users and makes downstream projects' life harder (there is where the duplicity of work comes from).
  • Competition is our key differentiator against the closed source model. Is the one thing that makes us appealing. Of course it has its downsides, but our efforts shouldn't go towards constraining that competition, instead, enforcing a set of rules that we all agree about, and commit ourselves to those rules.
I think that companies like Canonical, RedHat or Novell have a lot to say about this, if we have 16 different libraries for a single purpose, don't you think developers would stop using most of them if these 3 key players decided not to distribute them anymore at some point? As long as these libraries get distributed, developers won't make the effort needed to keep a sane dependency tree, and if they don't even then, we are better off without software that is poorly maintained.
