This is the stage 3.

This is the second video. This is worst than the first but this was made in only one afternoon. I must made another two more (I think) and them this work will be finish.

Maybe I will have more time for other things more important than this.

It’s not part of my job, but it’s part of my hobbies. As my work I can (I think) do some kind of computer things because I have some kind of computer skills, like admin a server, do a little webmastering, admin a database... but my real hobbie (always) it’s desing.

Photo, video, music... I have do it since I know. First, music. I have do music when I have an old XT with a sound blaster as a soundcard. That was a tracker music (4 channels), and it sounds on the radio. Next, I have do music for theatre. It was my MIDI time. Next, some works on a record studio and with some music groups. In this time, I have begin my other hobbie, photograph. I buyed some kind of analog reflex and joined to a group. And of course I had do one expo with my B/N photos.

The next big thing began when I have buyed a Macintosh. More digital photo, and now video. I have look to Final Cut Studio and begin to know how it works... and... now I’m in this step.

I’m not a designer, but I like it.

This is a part of my last work. A small video about childhood. It’s 2D animation.

Work, work, work... someone could say that I have no idea about, but... Envy runs on this world.

Sunday... the last day of the week. Usualy the most boring day of the week. On sunday people usually do things that they are his “hobbies”. For example, clean her/his car, clean the house, go for a drink with friends (or not), eat with his/her parents... play cards (WTF!), see the TV praying for some soocer... At least, the mos boring day of every week.

Today, for me, it was the fado day. These days I want to hear samba, bossa nova, fados and Cabo Verde’s sound. Not really sure why, but earing this sad songs (fado) makes me happy.

Today it a boring day. I don’t want to work (but I must do it) and I have at least 3 mojito’s inside me. Now, I think I will drink some wine, some Ribera’s red wine... some “crianza Pedro Rey” that I have buyed yesterday.

Today, it’s sunday... the most boring day of a week.

I had using other camera and others lens. It’s a nice camera, faster and better than mine, but with a new camera you must learn how it works. So for this reason I had bad photos.

Two great groups played yesterday and today it’s the last day of Universijazz.

I like Universijazz because I like jazz and it’s one that let me do some creative and artistic photos of people. When I was young I liked to do photos of people, feeling the same that them and do them at night. I don’t really know why I like to do night photos. Maybe because all cats are of the same color at night or because people show what really are at night. But this only works for educated people, non educated show how their are at all the moments. They are un-educated.

iPhone, iPhone... everybody wants you and everybody hates you. iPhone is like opera: you must love it or you must hate it, there’s no middle point in this.

Yestarday was de “i” day for everyone, and for those that was a crazy day. Of course I will have another one (I have an iPhone) but I’m not hurry as the others.

But the most important it’s why you want it. Some of them want it because they are “applefanboys” and everything that Apple do is everything that they love, no matter what is it. Others want it because it’s something for rich people, something that make you different from the others (be a hero, of course). Others want it because they hate it (yes, it sound strange but it’s easy). But for me, I want it for the firmware version 2.0.

Offcourse I could have firmware 2.0 in my old iPhone, jailbreaking it and unlocking it, but I want to have it at the nice way.

I have working on some program for a long time and maybe it’s time to probe it.

iPhone, iPhone... why you want it?

When you are full of work, you usually get tired everytime. Be tired it’s one reason for doing nothing. You can see whatever you like and see how people want to do nothing.

For these days I will test Snow Leopard (10.6) and, maybe, I will post my personal results on the Hardmac section. For now, Snow Leopard is as good as Leopard are. I haven’t seen any real diference... but the same happened when I have test the Leopard beta on Tiger days.

Snow Leopard are in a very early time, so I don’t expect too much changes.

In other terms, friendship it’s important in life, but I think it can be a shield if you want to be “a friend” of someone for doing nothing.

I must finish the videopodcast about iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD... but there’s no time... no time to run.

This days everybody ask me about making some kind of intros. Yesterday, Medios Audiovisuales ask me about it and today they ask me about some more “special”.

This is the first result... for now

In common days there’s something called “one more thing”. This thing is something that you do but, when you get up from bed at first hour, you doesn’t thing you must do.

That’s one of the best things on life. Do something new. The one more thing of life.

On these dificult days, with petrol in high prices, no food for all, water... well... water everywhere and people with lot of envy the one more thing is the best way for feel something special.

For example. This monday was the Keynote from Jobs. This day, when I was writing the post for the canal #mac blog the server was having a crash, a real bad crash.

Other people, who say that are good admin, will cry get nervious and have a crisis day. But for me, the worst problem was that... well, I haved no problem, only 1 hour of file sync of my servers. The secondary server take all the load and worked two days at full speed. I think people haven’t see this. For the user, that was transparent.

Now, with my primary server online, the only problem was (again) sync all my files again. It takes too much time. That was my one more thing of monday.

As I always say, there’s no problem when there’s no problem. And, as other says, I’m a bad webmaster, and a worst admin

Well, at this point there’s something to say: Mac fails too. My primary server is an old MacMini with at least 3 years old (first version) and I think it have a broken DVD reader or something.

What is the day which comes after tomorrow?, "the day after tomorrow". It's easy to say somtheing when you know what it's the result of it.

People usualy work for something or make things in one direction because they want something especific. For other, work it's only a place to be at least some hours.

Others only go to that place (work) for being the most valuable person or who take care of the others. They need to be the hero, remember?. Life is full of hero, but the real hero doesn't want anything. They don't need that the others claim thar have seen a hero.

I'm not sure what class of person I am. Ones think that I'm a bad person, others only think that I'm stupid, and the others, well... only think the same their are or they want to be. That's other universal reason, people think that the other are like they want to be. If they want to have lot of money at cost of the others, they think that the others only want the same. In their small minds they can't think and put her mind in the others mind... maybe the others have anothers ways to be. Some of them only want to be useful.

One friend of mine on the IRC takes me to this blog, the Wardog Blog, and.... reading it I have seen the most impresive post of my life... this.

I think I like the BOFH-zen

This is how I felt today at my work... all is with some extra time, everybody needs me, all doesn't work... ahhhhh!

Direct link to this crazy flash.... and of course, thanks to one of my coworkers who send me this flash.

Today I have create one of the best method for know how inteligent people is.

Now, I will reveal this secret with all of you. It's a easy method.

You will know how inteligent other is wathing how many think can do at the same time. Let's talk about it.

If you are inteligent you, usually do, at least two or more things at the same time, because you have enought memory and brain to control at least two things and you are "multitasking".

People who aren't enoght inteligent at least can do one thing at the same time. This or this, but no the two. They must select carefully what they must do at their works because a bad election means work on the trash.

This kind of people are very easy to recongnice because they usualy are egoist people. But they are egoist not in the way that the are in that kind because they want, they are egoist because the only can do one thing at the same time so they can't do things that can resolve or help the others. So there is no his fault.

Good people always are inteligent people, because they can do more that one thing and the other things that they do are always to help others.... maybe stupid people have a big Labia Minora....

Yesterday, one of my boss say something that make me think. He/she sais that I'm arson. Yes!, arson... and a fireman.

The reason it's because I'm hungry... hungry of know and hungry of doing things.

I'm not sure if this is an insult or something good. I thnks it's a insult in some cases, because I'm always there giving some problems to the others who only wants to stay in calm. But it's something good because on life there one great needing on doing new things and change the way how things are now.

So, ok... I'm arson and a fireman too.

With one of my proyects on my actual work works fine, it will be extended to others. More vidopodcast for the University of Valladolid. Now the videopodcast of the Gabinete de Comunicación.

You can suscribe to ir at Podcast del Gabinete de Comunicación de la UVa.

More to come...

Today I have seen that one of my current work podcast it's on the Apple's hits... nice.

This is an old phrase: The more you do, the more you want. And sometimes it's true. This days I have put on some new proyects in my work. I don't really know that this proyects will be ok or not but the most important it's than if I want to do it I can.

The new podcast proyect is now on route. I have one of them fully working (the MUVa's videopodcast) and now it have lot of people suscribed to it. Nice. So it was time to work in the other. The other will be my work video and podcast who will be for the notices that my job do.

But this new podcast have some problems. Problems that have a easy solution. I don't really know that they know that I write. Maybe I can't write fine articles for newspapers but I'm specialiced in "web language". Maybe because I have do it for years on the canalmac website or in my own website writing this blog or the others webs that I have do.

So the problem about who will write it it's now off. I will write it without problem. The other problem, about the video realization it's a small problem too. Why? Easy, if I do it (as I thought) I will have some problems with others because I will do their job, so I must do it carefully. I don't wanna have problems with others, but they must know that they haved time for thinking and doing what now I'm doing... so if they haven't do it... now it's my time. I will help them to take over this and then they will do it all. I really don't wanna do it for ever.... It's only a proyect, not my life. I have a lot of new proyects to do.

In other hand, I have seen some small problems around this new type of work. There was some "private rooms" where people do their work (or not) and I'm on it. So people are thinking that I'm doing their work. Working in a lot of new proyect usually means that I must work with and in a lot of type of works. And people don't like it. Why? because a new worker means new types of work... and people don't like something new.

But, this is not my problem. If they don't like me searching and seen what they do... well, let's see.

".... o me pongo con algo (10:25 h...) o me voy a desayunar ..."

Said by one of my coworkers...

Today we have see the release of the iPhone SDK that it will be one of the most important things in this year. It converts the old and non good looking iPhone into a good software plataform for bussines and street people.

This made me remember something important. Education. Last days I have seen in Blogmedia people who cry about the idea of use of a Mac. Explain: If you go to a public site and everyone see you with a Mac they always thing that you are a designer or something. That's not true. Or they think that you are a snob who pay more for something like a bad PC.. not true too.

Why it happens? Easy, educaction. In this world and more in where I live (a small town with 400.000 persons living) people usually are like countryside... they usually thing in magic, they no have their own opinion and similar ways. When they see something that it's not included in their way life they try to destroy it. They don't want changes.

This problem is easy. The problem is education. Education and education. Their fathers are people who have educated their childs in the same way that his fathers do with him. They not have open minds because they don't wanna have open mind. For example they usually thing that the best way it's have a big car because big cars means you have money (as you say in a small town the only thing that everybody wants it that your neigtbour think that you have more money). That's because in my town everyone have big cars and if you buy a small car you are idiot. You buy a small car because it's more easy to park or because you don't need a big one... but the others only think that you are stupid because you haven't do that everyone do.

So the basic problem is education, good or bad education, so the big problem it's not schools, is their parents. Parents that send their childs in car to the school living at 300 meters from the school, parents who go to their work who is at 500 meter in car, alone. Parents who doesn't recicle because they don't see that this is important. Parents who think that all in this world is magic.

Education, that's the problem.

Working in the goldmine as the song says. That's my life.

I like work and been working because as a person who likes to solve problems, been working it's the best way of having them. So, that's (maybe) why I spend long time of my life working and doing extrange things. Creating things for solving problems.

As I always say: "Easy solutions for easy problems".

The problems usually began when other don't like it. I know that there's lot of people that have a lot of ways to be. Some likes work (as me), some only want time pass al fast as they can, some really don't know what they want.

For this reason they are people like colors, but now the most of then are in the last group.

On mornings I always give my iPhone new food. As you think I give it some fresh and new music, but today I was giving some... how could I say it, some changes.

I have decided that there so many podcast and videopodcast in the world that it's easy full all your time earing that. There's lot of type of podcast (and videopodcast, of course) but as a strange person who I are, I have selected the english non technical podcast.

Now my iPhone is full at 20% of music, 60% Podcast and 10% Videopodcast.

The only song I have ear going to my work is Time Bomb Town (Lindsey Buckingham) from the disc Back to the Future BSO... I like it because their sounds mixed electrical, acoustic of banjos, guitars, and some strange strings with a very well ritm. And maybe because a work is like a time bomb you have a limit to make it.

Fast and clean. That's the word that a programmer always ear.

Sometimes, when you are making some software there's something that make me ill. Sometimes people think that making a software is as easy as telling the computer what do you want to do. For example:

Open it, make a button who make stats, close.

They doesn't know all that are behing this, all the errors you must fix, all the things you must think for the user. And of course, they want it fast and without errors.

Last week I have re-asamble one program in five days. Re-make it in other way, fast fast... I think I have sleep in all week at least 15 hours. Working in my job, and then working in my house from 15 to 4. But I have done it, and it works... with errors of course, but works.

The worst day in a programmer life is when you take your soft and give to the boss... that's my currently day.

There's lot of problems in this world. There are easy and not as easy problems.

Most of the problems have a very easy solution. One part must see the other. Why? you say. Easy too, there's some kind of pain about what can the other do when you are not watching it.

Usualy it do the same things that do when your are watching... it sounds dificult but it's (at all) as easy as use a Macintosh. Fiducia that it's the word (as you can see I'm trying to learn other languages too).

These days I have too much work to do... too much. Everything changes so fast than I can't work fast for resolve it. I'm remember things that I have do at least 4 years ago (well, more, maybe 8 years ago)... and I remember it so slow... And if I see people who wants somethings too much complicated for the time I need to develop it.

That's because sometimes I feel so tired.

In other terms, Tutilandia is bigger and bigger, now whe need industry, so if you want some industry, click here but if you want more people living there, click here.

Thanks for help it growing.

What people usualy are in this dates are happy and want to help the others. What people really usualy are in this dates are bored, hastiated and only want to be better than the other ones.

One of the thing that have the really guilt of this senser are the TV. The TV shows and TV ads show us what you will need to be happy in these days. You must be young, rich, with a great car in your garage and a beautiful girl in your arms. With that, you will be a champion, without it you are a bastard. Simple.

I'm writing this while I'm still seen how the database is rebuilding. Database world it's so interesting that I thing you could live telling everybody things without sense about it.

Computer world it's so nice and interesting that some Dilbert comic I have in my office.

It says: That's is imposible, technical
It means: I don't want to do it

It say: Maybe
It means: Leave all hope of usefull response

It say: All date is been pass to the Fluzo condensed who leave all unblack bits in a virtual ram memory who...
It means: I don't know how the hell do that

Tags: work

Sometimes you think what the hell will happen if... for example, if you don't take that way or if you don't do that usual thing. What will happened if you are other person that you are not.

That's because you don't like life you have or you think that you can do something that you are not currently doing.

Sometimes the only think that you want it's some respect from the others and that's because you want to be other person. Person like you see on TV... a hero.

Now in my work one of my big proyects have delayed as usual in my job, the other one is on "barbecho" because Apple doens't talk to me (I don't know why) and the other one... well... I think it's a big brown who will came to me soon or later.

Today It was a bad day, all was against me and my work. But, as always, I will never give up!... only taking a breath .

On my particular jobs who made me make money (not my real work) I'm waiting for the payment... and it smels like it will be in two months (as always).

I have released the last version of the Podcast from channel #mac. The bad news are that I can't introduce the interview I had made. The good news are that as always all the thing I made are diferent

As always my life is talk in channel #mac helping people... but I need a holidays.

There's something that I understand but I don't like. That is changing like a comercial web or something. I don't want money for helping people, and I don't want something social... I like help the others... but what the others think?. I think that they think that it's my job. And no, it's not my job. So, let me a little holidays... and if you don't like what I do, tell me.

As an "administrator" of canalmac.es I think sometimes I must do some changes. After changing the backgruound to a new "leopard" theme I think it's time to something more... normal.

Why? Easy. After open it in my new iPhone I see that the other backgruound it's too much complicated for it, so more easy backgrounds means more visits.

Now, I must change the icons and the other things.

I have ear my first interview on Territorimac.com. There is on his podcast.

Thanks to Jaume Angulo.

In a new day near of a new job y a new city it's time to change the aspect of my blog... now it's more "blue".

Tags: web, work

These days I have been asking for new jobs. Today I have at least three work offers.

Of course, after the last one, I think I will accept for less money. That's the true, I need to get out and work for other... seen what the world is.

I will not say what kind of works are, because I don't want that it will know in my actual work. They have their opportunity, but as always they prefer the same. I'm hesitate of my actual work.

Same of the same... always doing the same. I know that working is that, do the same things in a same place, but that's the problem of a mac mind people like me... we have the need of create. Create things, getting up ideas.

Recent work give me one real idea of something that I must made. I think I will buy another phone with a new line and given't it to everyone.

New phone, new line, new life. I think the iPhone will be the objetive... so please, Movistar... give me one as soon as you can!

P.S.: I hate mysql, I hate opencms, and I hate...

It was long time that I have enter in Second Life, but with the new iMac I need to test how it works.... and the result it's fine!

Tags: Second life

For these days I was working on my server. For some reasons that are too much long say someone hates me now. His objective (and the objective of his girlfriend) is see me in bad moments.

For some reasons my server is a internet objective. DoS attack, crack attack, web attack, dumb attack... well I'm so old for those things now.

For some reasons there's always someone who thing that it's more intelligent on computer and unixes... well, maybe... but remember, always there's another who knows more than you..

I'm on holidays. From today to 10 of september I must do... nothing, but I have to made some of my "other works". Today I will finish one of them, and tomorrow the other one.

I was thinking about buying a new computer. The MacMini is now a server so I can't use it as a workstation (well, I can, but now it have their mind in other process), so I need a new computer.

Apple have a new iMacs, so maybe I will buy one... but on october. First, leopard... it's a good reason; Second, the firsts models never works fine, so on october with leopard I think there will be a revision.

Other thing. My holidays will be on Denmark, at Black Forest. I'm very deluded about it. Frankfurt, Munich, Black Forest... nice.

Today I have installed Mac OS Server on my MacMini. This morning thought that it was time to create a true Mac OS Server, with MTA, Web, Open Directory, Open LDAP...

Well, I have do it, not this MacMini have Mac OS Server and I'm testing all the old configurations... for now they are working... only some changes to the web server and now all works fine.

Tomorrow maybe I will configure the mail accounts. Now i must go to see Alex O'Dogherty at the Estival.

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.

Here a screenshot taken with a VNCviewer from the Macmini

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.

Tags: web, work

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.

Tags: web, work

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 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...

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.

This was a long long week. There was working in a newspaper, doing my always work at it and ... creating something new. You can visit it: www.teclit.es

I think I need sleep more. Everytime I was working on the newspaper and on teclit. Well, a good idea I think. Time will show...

But in the other hand I have seen that I have forgot some of my friends. I'm always at home, with my computer, writing, creating... but not getting out.

Now Google is my next objetive, I must go up.

No se sí reirme o echarme a llorar. Según Steve Ballmer (actual presidente de Microsoft), el software libre esta violando 235 patentes de Microsoft, como ha dicho el abogado de esta firma Brand Smith en Fortune.

Según ellos, Linux viola 107 patentes, OpenOffice.org 40ypico y otros, mas de 83 (los muy piratas).

El código abierto ha de operar según las mismas normas que las grandes empresas (según ellos) y en parte tienen razón. No me parece coherente que hagan ingeniería inversa del código de un documento de Word sin permiso y licencia de Microsoft y encima copien/clonen su suite de ofimatica.

Es decir, me parece bien que inventen cosas nuevas y hagan nuevas ideas... pero no que para ser famosos copien las de otra gente. No es que me alegrara cuando Novell (con SCO) pusiera pleitos a Linux, pero tampoco me pareció algo inusual (como fue para mucha gente).

Ahora se esta poniendo muy de moda (como alternativa) el instalar este software libre en los equipos como sistema operativo principal, lo cual no me parece mal si fuera como elección.

La historia de que esto ahorra costes, al no incluir la licencia de Windows me parece una estupidez suprema. Seguramente los costes no sean ni el 1% del portatil (recordad que son licencias OEM, bastante especialitas, por cierto). No me parece mal que permitan la elección de sistema, pero que incluyan entonces el resto.

¿Por que no voy a tener mi equipo con BeOS?. O con DR-DOS directamente. O con Solaris... Aunque realmente lo que más me fastidia es, dando esta sensación falsa de libertad, estén cobrando al usuario por un trabajo de alguien que ha hecho gratis, aumentando los beneficios de la empresa y ademas, olvidandose del soporte.

Un amiguete del trabajo se ha comprado un Vaio (un portatil) Core 2 Duo a 1,8 Ghz con 1 Gb de Ram... bueno, un macbook de gama baja marca Vaio (tiene el mismo hardware) con Windows Vista Home Premium.

Como usuario de mac he de decir que Windows Vista es un zurullo, como usuario de Windows dire que Windows Vista es un zurullo y como usuario de maquinas con Unix dire que Windows Vistta es un zurullo.

Como usuario de mac dire que tiene el mismo aspecto que MacOS pero en pobre. Ventanas redondas, sombras, efectos y luces de hace 3 años. Me he sentido algo asi como viendo una copia pobre de Panther.

Como usuario de Windows dire que esta muy mejorado, aunque es odioso y me pierde. Cada 3 segundos salen ventanas de confirmación para las acciones. Me ha sido complicado conectarme a la segunda red Wifi de mi despacho (complicado de encontrar y de hacer). Cambian la costumbre de lo que uso.

Como usuario de Unix dire que teniendo en cuenta la maquina con la que escribo ahora (un macbook a 2 Ghz, similar en caracteristicas) es lento, aturuga la maquina y el rendimiento que se observa en general es pobre.

Por depronto en la GMA950 no soporta aero. ¡Por dios!, ¿Vista no ha visto lo que hace este equipo?.

No niños, no Epi y Blas no se quieren hablar. Están juntitos, en sus camitas... separados alrededor de medio metro y no se hablan. Se conocen desde hace poco tiempo, Blas ha sufrido una operación a corazón abierto que le ha hecho cambiar. Ha pasado de ser un pobre trabajador a ser mucho mas servicial.

Epi quiere enseñarle, le muestra su contenido, le enseña a sus amigos... Blas les ha aceptado, es otro controlador... pero no quiere ver las entrañas de Epi y que este le muestre si conocimiento.

Pobrecitos, esta cambiada la situación. Blas aprendiendo de Epi... seguramente este es el problema... aunque Epi llego antes... 6 años antes. Epi esta cansado, necesita un relevo en sus obligaciones (o al menos en algunas de ellas), pero no tengo muy claro que quiera un reemplazo por parte de Blas.

En algunas cosas si se hablan, se quieren, se tocan, se manosean... pero en esa, la mas importante dicho sea de paso, no quieren comunicarse.

Son pareja de hecho, pero están separados de contenido... a ver si tengo tiempo para investigar más esta relación. Epi y Blas son mis servidores preferidos.

Gracias a applesfera.com me he enterado que hoy macZOT! venderá 13 aplicaciones por 13$... así que... habrá que comprarlas, ¿no?.

Recordad, hace falta tener cuenta.

Los PCs son equipos del infierno. Mecanos. Montados con piezas de vete a saber como por vete a saber quien con un proceso de calidad mínimo y un mantenimiento excesivo.

Mi servidor PC con Windows 2000 Advanced Server ha decidido que es hora de cambiarle mas piezas. Cada X años (cuando X=4) hay que cambiar piezas por desgaste (debido a que esta 24/7). Pero esta vez me he cansado. Sin ningún problema, me he cansado.

El servidor hace mucho ruido con su ventilador Rocket Pro a 3.500 rpm de continuo, gasta mucha electricidad, horrible. Moraleja, lo estoy pasando todo al MacMini.

Máximo 90 W de consumo (cuando a ojo, el PC debía de estar gastando unos 150 W y usualmente el MacMini con el HD auxiliar no sobrepasara los 50 W), ruido... vamos, he dormido esta noche como un tocinillo de cielo... todo ventajas. Ademas, me viene muy bien refrescar mi Unix, ¿no creéis?.

Macadas esta pasado, la web del canal de #mac esta pasado, el correo esta pasado, el ftp pasado, me queda chicamala, el dns (estoy tabajandolo ahora).

Y de paso, creo que voy a montar una isla en SecondLife y añadirla al grid. A cascarla mi problema de espacio.

Por motivos de trabajo tuve que ir a San Sebastián con el tiempo tan chulo que hacia. Ir y venir en el día, 800 km (350 km más los típicos rodeos, perdidas del GPS y demás tonterías).

Desde Burgos solo se veía nieve, quitanieves y coches tirados en la cuneta. Lo peor es que el viaje es cansado, tanto por los kilómetros, como por el tiempo que se tarda. No se podía correr ni por mi coche (que ya va para 15 años), ni por el tiempo (con hielo en la carretera, casi que paso), ni por la carretera en si. Desde Vitoria esta en obras la autopista.

Aunque estaba bien surtido de mp3 y con el iPod conectado a mi radio del coche (tiene soporte para iPod, si... mi coche es viejo pero los condimentos no) aburre un montón. Ni los 40 gb de música que llevaba alegraban el viaje. La única solución es el poner la radio para no dormirse conduciendo y a ser posible algo que odies.

Primero, la cope, con Jimenez de Los Santos desde Canarias. Eso no es un programa, es un mitin. Claramente se le ve su afiliación política, es de derechas. Menudas arengas, con coros... y aplausos. Cada vez que arremetía contra el PSOE con las viejas cintas escuchadas y desgastadas por el PP se oían voces que le animaban. Me recordó a los predicadores de EEUU que timan a la gente en los pueblos. Solo una palabra vergonzoso. Buena arma política de ese partido. Repite y convencerás.

Luego, mi favorita en los viajes, radio maría, la radio de los pobres de mente. Lo primero que me sorprendió es la de dinero que tiene la iglesia. ¿Por que?, sencillo, en Vitoria se oía la emisión de Valladolid, pasando y entre las montañas. Menudo transmisor, los fieles (tontos) que estén en la antena tendrán un cáncer galopante mientras echan las culpas a las antenas de telefonía móvil. dios no puede hacer mal (recordad, dios lo escribo en minúscula siempre).

De aquí hay algo que no he entendido bien. Aparte de usar el método de repite y vencerás, utilizan unas razones que no son explicadas. Se quejan de que les obligan (desde el gobierno, hablaban de la educación) a no dar el derecho de la libre elección sobre la asignatura de religión o la de ciudadanía. Aportaban algo muy común en sus alegaciones, lo llaman el derecho natural. Lo que pasa es que o me perdí aquella clase o nunca lo han explicado, no se en que consiste ese derecho.

Repetir que tienen los padres el derecho natural a educar a sus hijos me parece correcto si alguien me explica en que consiste ese derecho. No entiendo sus razonamientos basados en ese derecho que nunca explican y el porque arremeten siempre contra el gobierno (del PSOE).

Con esto también continúan con sus ideas de realidad y como los homosexuales no son naturales (así lo dejaban caer, no son naturales), así como que hay una conspiración judio/masonica en contra de la religión cristiana sin saber que las coas tienen un limite y han de ser ordenadas, a veces no del gusto de todos. El no dar más de 6 colegios a elegir se trata de no masificar unos cuantos y dejar vacíos el resto... para el dinero gastado o invertido en ellos no se tenga que tirar. El tiempo de las religiones ha pasado, solo los débiles siguen creyendo en ellas, en la magia.

Update: Lo encontré, por esto quiero ser un besaculos. La mejor explicación de la religion que he visto.

Hoy vuelvo a alucinar en colores. Tras estar ayer en el IFEMA y dar unas cuantas incidencias acerca de nuestro ADSL que no iba ni para atrás. Tras irme de allí creyendo que todo estaba en marcha... hoy resulta que Mac tiene la culpa.

Veamos, uno de los routers sincroniza cuando quiere, cuando los puertos de ese equipo van como el culo, cuando va ahora si y ahora no... la solución es echar la culpa a los equipos. Si es un Mac uno de ellos, es mas sencillo aun.

Claro, si un PC con Windows a su lado justito tampoco es capaz de coger, renovar, mangar, secuestrar una IP cuando el router tiene DHCP, es problema de.... los dos equipos (PC y Mac) que no lo cogen. Claro, claro... no se me había ocurrido antes, sobre todo cuando el día anterior me había hecho exactamente lo mismo y sobre todo, cuando ya había dejado incidencia al respecto.

Osea, la culpa es siempre del cliente. Al final, no se para que pedimos dos ADSL si solo funciona una. Me hartan los técnicos y sobre todo los de garrafón que pululan por ahí. Cuando algo se desconoce, la culpa es de ello. No se investiga, se soluciona, se crea, se inventa, se motiva... no, es más rápido echar la culpa... al Macintosh.

Cuando esta mañana me desperte para ir al trabajo, me parecía un día como todos los demas... aburrido, sin nada. Todo el mundo sabe, mi trabajo me desmotiva, me aburre. No hay retos nuevos y se esta conviertiendo en autentica rutina. Odio la rutina. Intuyo que soy una persona con mucho potencial, con ideas nuevas las cuales suelen ser cortadas por multitud de problemas.

Por eso esta mañana cuando iba al trabajo pensaba en Aula 2007. La feria de Universidades de IFEMA (obviamente de este año) en la cual no vamos a aportar nada nuevo que atraiga a la gente. El año pasado pusimos una webcam (que fue bastante visitada, aunque fuera por gente de la UVa, pero la comunicación interna -cotilleo interno- es necesario), pero este año... ¿nada?.

Pensando sobre a quien esta dirigido, pense en un blog... pero al final escribiria yo solo, pondria fotos yo solo y... en fin. Con lo cual, aunque funcionando, esta muerto de nacimiento. Así que a pensar otra cosa. El cambio de diseño en la web de aula, es obvio, así que eso no cuenta. Decir que mi compañero ha hecho un excelente trabajo con el nuevo diseño, excelente.

Así que esta mañana, cuando pasaba delante de la tienda de telefonia que hay de camino, se me ilumino la bombilla. Recorde que en otros paises hay anuncios por bluetooth. Se acercan a la valla publicitaria y esta les envia un fichero (imagen, video, texto...) del anuncio. ¡Ole!, hagamos lo mismo en Aula, una feria dirigida a pre-universitarios con el movil pegado en el culo. Ataquemos a sus cosas.

En la feria otros años me he fijado que van en manada, o pasan de los stands. Pues que les suene el móvil que reciban un mensaje, invitandoles a acercarse al stand. Seguro que alguno pica. Es obvio, es su herramienta. Atacar a sus vicios.

Sino, simplemente, la novedad hará que el que lo reciba hable con sus amigos para que vayan a recibirlo, aunque sea por la tontería, pero por tontería alguno picara. Algo así como el vicio de fumar.

Dicho y hecho. He montado bajo Macintosh con Mac OS 10.4 un sistema de anuncio por bluetooth que hace barridos y manda contenido (2 imagenes) de forma aleatoria a aquellos con este activado. Lo he realizado gracias al programa Consola, gratis y efectivo.

Moraleja, me he creado un reto resuelto elegantemente en una mañana de forma eficaz y rápida. A ver este año cuantos van con webcam, y el año que viene, cuantos con spam por bluetooth.

Por cierto, como calcule ayer, la música del Katamari Damacy (tiene entrada en la Wikipedia)duro exactamente 5 minutos en mi oficina, la llamaron música de película de Fernando Esteso... en fin.

Soy tonto y el mundo necesita ser salvado. Vuestros problemas me importan un pepino, vuestras ideas más aun. Vuestros conocimientos me resbalan, vuestras victorias son vuestras. Mis problemas son mios, y mis ganas me las como yo.

A mi me engañan porque soy tonto. El mundo es de los listos. Estamos rodeados de ellos.

Estupendo, ya le he cogido el tranquillo. No es complicado y queda estupendamente. Ahora a aplicarlo en mis proyectos. En breve GIftfu se remodelara mientras añado mas código para que haga mejores cosas.

Ahora a implantar AJAX en ASP.

La nueva moda (y elegante) es crear sitios web totalmente diseñados mediante estilos CSS.

Se supone que son más rapidos y ligeros, y sobre todo más faciles de continuar. Dicen que son lo más estandar del mundo... y así parece ser.

Por depronto llevo medio mes (literal) pegandome con 4 estilos de menus para quedarles bien. Tocas una cosa y ¡plof!, todo a tomar por el anus. Reconozco que soy de nivel 1 en estilos CSS y estoy aprendiendo un monton, pero bueno... que al menos me salga, ¿no?.

Veo lo que estoy haciendo y pienso... menudo zurullo. Veo lo de los demas y digo... que bonito.

Soy zurullo man "programador" de estilos CSS. Voy a bajar a comprar más pan... que me estoy oxidando.

Estoy con una webcam en pruebas, debido a que a veces un modem no da suficiente ancho de banda para una videoconferencia. Así que al menos mi interlocutor me vea la cara... a cachos.

Estará operativa o no.

La infografía no esta explotada. Es algo utilísimo y necesario en este mundo. ¿Qué es la infografía?. Bien, infografía es brutamente, el proceso de crear imágenes digitales para una situación determinada.

Un ejemplo son los típicos gráficos que nos explican los tantos por cientos de las cosas, explican situaciones de las cuales no hay fotos o nos aclaran puntos de vista.

Es un trabajo desconocido y poco gustado. Usualmente se tratan de (como dijo) "el chico del Mac". Esa persona que vale para todo, que lo mismo te hace una foto, te maqueta una página o te cambia el tonner. Yo, personalmente, me siento totalmente identificado.Mas sobre....

Usar las fuentes adecuadamente nos hace hombres (o mujeres). Elegir la fuente es un arte. Una fuente nos dice sutilmente ynos indica el como leer y el como hacer las cosas.
