A Fedora iMac

Some days ago I have buyed a 113 euros laptop with Fedora as operating system. I have installed a Fedora on my test iMac for remembering how it works.

For now, there's no problem. Only the bad support for PPC computers an Linux.

Nice days with nice friends

Yesterday, I was with two of my best friends. Both are womans. Yes, both are woman and I am a men. I think that there's no problem for it.

They say me that select where will take a dinner. We went to a site called "Las Cortes" after that the castle of Valoria la Buena was closed (I think for holidays).

I was not sure if those restaurants will be a nice election for them, but I think there wasn't any problem. We have a nice conversation, nice dinner and nice time, after it we went to a pub for some drinks.

After it, all goes home.

As always is a pleasure stay with them.

Campus Party 2007

First, I hate Campus Party. In the first days it was a reunion of people who likes computers. A small group of people who come together and speak about his likes.

Now, it's a commercial party.

I was there for two years. The first of it (in 1998) was speaking about OpenGL in a conference. It was nice, only it was too hot, but it was nice people and nice days.

The second one at 1999 (campus 2K-1) was working, as a volunteer (as a stupid). These days was when I know the true. The Campus Party was organized by a group called E3 from Madrid. This group was by 4 persons (as I remember), one commercial, one tech and two... well... two more.

The second year sounds good too, but the only I can remember is working 20 hours a day for one person who only know and wants money of every one and doesn't see the "spirit of computers". If he see a opportunity for make money, he goes there. He do everything for it... of course, for that he has a Pontiac, and two girlfriends.

He made work everyone who knows for free (of course) and that's the because everyone who helps there only go one year. After it, everyone hates him... but don't worry there's a lot of free people to take over.

After the Campus, E3 get dismantled but he gets others ones.

Now Campus Party is a party for piracy. Everyone goes there only wants to copy films, mp3 or something else (like porn). Its the world of "trapicheo". I don't like how it sounds now. I don't like people who get there. I don't like it.

I will tell a lot of histories about the 5 days I was there on the Campus 2K-1... but the worst of all it's that it seem that doesn't change.

This days

Nothing important these days. Only that my best friend was here and was get out with her. I didn't usually see her because she doesn't live here.

It was nice to take some drinks with her and speak about how old we are and the things that we have in common.

For the next days I must prepare to go to Campus Mac. Campus Mac is in Barcelona (too far from here, about 700 km) and I must do a lot of things there.

In the other hand I have reached one of my nike+ objectives.

Last change for last dance

The last day of the Universijazz was a little estrange. First the first one to play (Dave Liebman & Wolfgang Reisinger Dúo) plays his "strange jazz" as everyone say.

All people I know was getting bored listening this great artist. His jazz style is new jazz. New jazz, for not educated ears, is something like noise; there is notes without sense. That's not true. This big artist (Dave Liebman) it's a genius... I never seen play piano touching directly the cords. They use a Macintosh as other players (well, there is two players, Dave Liebman with piano and sax and Wolfgang who plays drums). Everybody looks estrange when listening more than two sound at the same time. It's so genius that when an ambulance step surrounds, he joins her music with the ambulance, at real time.

You can see the Macintosh on the right

The other ones, Jerry González plays latin jazz, so everyones like it, dance it and feel it. Easy ritmics for easy people.

Those days, not one take photos (Tuesday or wednesday) but the two last days, after seen the UVa's photographer and me (and other of course) people began to take photos. But the worst it's that they use they compact cameras. No, I don't have any problem with compact ones, only with people who doesn't read the manuals.

We can't make photos with flash. But the compact ones use it, all of the compact ones. A compact camera (the newers ones), when take a photo with flash give at least three pre-flashes for looking at light, so for each photo there's at least four flashs. So the last concert was a flashing concert.

Well, I think there is not responsibility about they do. That's life.

This is not Universijazz07

But I think is valid!... I like the it, and for seen a saxwoman!



And some humor too... it's friday!
|

Not to bad

Well, one problem solved. Thanks to one of my partners for helping me. Tomorrow I must solve the other ones. But now, I must go to the Universijazz07 to taking photos and "relaxing" a little.
|

Antoher day, another problem

WFT!, that's right, another day another problem. I don't know how I'm doing it but there's always a new problem. For the others all works fine, for me there's a lot of problems.

One girl of my work, after seen me this morning with my worst monday face ask me about what's happen. Well, I don't know what say her. At least, the last word was "don't be as good as your are". This afternoon I must return work.

In other way, yesterday was another Universijazz07 day. Metal, sax... but I prefer the first day. After it I think one of the local diaries will take another photo as today. As always you can see it in my Flickr page.

Out of touch

Coming home I was earing that song: "Out of touch" from my personal 80's collection and I like it.

I know that today will be a difficult day. It will be problems with the web for chaning servers. But I never thought that will be so complicated.

I know a lot of things about computers. I know about operative system (from RomBasic to the lastest Unix), about hardware (from ZXSpectrum to the lastest IBM Blade systems), about coding (from Basic, to C#... taking something about Ajax), about web, about desing, about databases, about datamining and datawarehousing... well a lot of full of things; but the real problems is that knowing a lot of lot it's not that knowing it well. When I have a real good problem I need time to solve it... time that you always never have. Today I was having a problem with the Open CMS system that I don't know... well I don't know and I think no one knows and could help to resolve it... and for this I'm on heavy preassure.

I don't know how other persons could forget his actual problems and take it easy, I can't do it so I think that's the because I'm always like a wharf... you touch me and I'm jump!... how can I relax my life? I don't know.

In the other way, one of the local diaries take one of my latest photos from yesterday about the Universijazz07, 200 photos for about 20 ones. Today I will do more of them.

Today

Today. Today I have understand one of the most important things if you are working. Being one of the most know person it's not allways a good idea.

Ones who is working near me it's going to get outside for working in other place. It's a nice person, and today for helping me with one problem I decided to take out for lunch with him.

He goes far away, and say me that been the person who is now in his current job, he will never go up and be more that currently is. Why?... easy, he it's a technician... a good technician, and they need him in his currently job.

I don't know if I'm a good technician too but I think that's is the same problem I have. But it's late to take over this problem in this job, so that's the because I'm looking other one.

As other one say, time will tell...

Linkinus

I have been testing Linkinus, a new IRC software for Macintosh.

It's nice, have a great look (Testing it for 2 hours) and... well, the most advanced it's that you can quit the program but you still login in the IRC.

Now more for now... I will tell more.

Proyects, proyects, proyects

After reinstalling my laptop I get on my old projects for my job. One of my boss was waiting for the "documents I must have sending last week".

Today I have send to him the two first of the four ones. One of them is approved and I must begin doing it. Some bluetooth information panels for my work.

Now I'm working in the other two. One of them is completed, but the other one... well I don't know how to make it.

In other way, I have buyed the nike+ so I went runing every morning and evening.

It's nice... When I'm running I forget all my problems, only run. It's nice doing some exercise, I feel nice after doing it.

I don't run too much per day, about 2 or 3 km. I expect realize my week objective: run 10 km per week.
|

Out for bussines

Yes, a long time without writing anything... easy, as you can read I was reinstalling my laptop and it doesn't work fine. But here i'm again!.
|

I think I'm stupid

Well, I'm stupid. I have no time for more of the thing I must do... but... Why I have tried to install Leopard on the Macbook?... it doesn't work fine... and... Why I go to help others without time for myself?.

Well I must take care of this.
|

I will work for the money

I must work more in Teclit.es, that's the only think that it's now in my mind.

Friends always are good friends

My best friend is in SL too. Sometimes, when I stay there looking this new world, talking, earing opera... and all the extrange thins I do she come with me.

We talk about the day at the office, weather and all the things that two good friends always talk. She is one of the most friendly people I know, and of course that's the because it's my best friend. She lives too much far from my home so that's the best way to talk with her "in person".

If you see her in SL, please, talk to her... she likes new people. And of course, thanks to her for staying there.

Looking for

It was the perfect day for looking on SL. Yesterday I was on a wedding, and as always I have looking how people are. In real life you can see that one type of people look for the same type. Friends, usualy are friends because likes the same things.

They helps one and others, and have the same to speak... of course, they like the same. So, maybe that's the because I have no much friends. I'm not the usual man; I don't like football, I don't like cars... I don't like and know all type of alcoholics... so I'm not evey man there.

So, yesterday I have nothing to speak with everyone. My girldfriend friends are girls, and, well, as girls have other interest that are not mine... so I didn't speaks with them too.

But I do the best I always do... look people and see what they like. Look people it's my favorite deport. Knowing what they think, what they do you could do more with people. As one of my best friends says, I'm a good "earman" because I'm always earing people. It's more fun earing that speaken... the people who are always speaking are dump people, because they never know what the other thinks... are alwats ocupped earing himselfs.

Well, in SL I do the same. Walk, sit on a chair and looking the others...
