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 :-)
Check out this 1991's video, starting minute 23. We are in 2009 now. After you've watched it, repeat with me:
Vamos a ir bajando ésto ….

Y a mirar en “la intelné” a ver cómo se hace para poder seguir teniendo Vodafone …
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.

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 :-)

Tras una llamada de atención por parte del “segurata” de la piscina a santo de la foto del post anterior: “Oye, aquí está totalmente prohibido hacer fotos”, absolutamente desproporcionada y propia de una persona amargada de la vida, ya que yo era el ÚNICO usuario de la misma, los dioses me han compensado con ésto:
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.
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!
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:
