Brazil: First day
Well, I’m delayed for over a day. We arrived the day before yesterday, and until today I’ll write my first chronic (while writing this, I’m learning to use ImageMagick’s convert which is a nice tool for the thumbnail generation ;-).
Anyway, Gunnar arrived home at 4:00 PM, the time of departure flight was at 19:40, and we had to be some hours before, in the airport. So, the images, which everybody was expecting:

Before DebConf
Well, this is my last post in Mexico in a couple of weeks before DebConf. Today I’m flying to Sao Paolo at 19:40, and arriving at 6:50, and then, another flight to Porto Alegre.
I’ll blog and photolog all the experiences
Current Mood:
anxious
Hangover
Well, yesterday a nice crew were on Tacvbo’s, 13 guys drinking beer and sharing some nice moments (as I remember the room on a clock-like turn): p4ola, zerver, royald, tuxfer, Odín, Little_Bear, MiG, Tato, Ramón Carazo, GnuOwned, Juan (AntiloOp’s cousin) and AntiloOp.
It was nice to meet some guys I have seen on pictures before, or talked on IRC like GnuOwned and AntiloOp.
Anyway I woke up this morning and I was so thirsty, my tongue was dry and my mouth in need of a beer, but I just drank some lemon water which my mom made yesterday: It is so cool that water when you need it, it is refreshing, like seeing a dolphin swim when you are in a boat (I always have associated the fact of a dolphin swimming in the ocean, with refreshing freedom
Today is quite different from other days: There is a hot sun
The zone where I go to school and work is very near to the western on Mexico City, very close to Toluca (Toluca is well known as a very old city, its average is below 12 C), and right over there it’s been cold, raining, etc. So it is nice to see a pure and beautiful sun today.
Two days away from Brazil, and because you all have requested it ;), here is my TODO during my stay there:
o Finish the little port I am making of Borland’s conio C library, to a well structured and need-fit compliant.
o Help on debian-installer l10n/i18n issues.
o Get involved on Debian Desktop Project.
o Get my packages to the Debian Archive.
o Work a little bit on linevents.
o As somebody on the DebConf4 mailing list said: “Expect the unexpected”
o Probably I will find excuses for not to do these and others things

File Uploading
Damn, I’ve been wanting to leave everything done at work, as I can reach Brazil next week without any problems.
So, my little problem of today is:
How can a user validate a file size _before_ uploading it over an HTML/HTTP form?
I can think on JavaScript, but there is a little problem that makes my head twisted: I do not know anything about JS.
Anyway, making some nice research on the WWW about some scripts on this, I haven’t found anything useful XD. Obviously, this have to be made on the client-side, any intention on validating the file size on the server-side will produce an unnecessary waste of bandwith. And, in the user side, waste of time.
ITOH, I could do nothing of this and say goodbye to DebConf, but that is not a choice
Why do I feel dirty on mood? Because I haven’t taken a shower since Sunday
Current Mood:
dirty
The beginning
I don’t like Mondays, whatever I do, I do it tired. This is maybe a normal behaviour on the world.
Maybe I am like a cool mutant that only works fine on not mondays
Walkin through the walls and then, on monday, just sleep and do nothing
It is nice, maybe one day I will make like a brebage that makes do that.
SOAD is the only thing that seems nice today.

Scanner and jaws
I really need an scanner
Tomorrow, we’ll start to give some courses on SOFIA (the academic system we have been working on for the last 6 months). Four courses a day, it’ll be a PITA for sure.
And my time on the computer will be reduced, damn.
Anyway, I have to find some time to package jaws, which I have a ITP for almost two months and a half. I will probably use Drupal package to get based, as it is a nice and very similar example. Gunnar has warned me he won’t have a blog until I package jaws - I don’t know if is proper to cry or laugh
OTH, that package _must_ be finished before I go to DebConf.
So, I _do_ use jaws (I just don’t use it on this blog, I know) at GULIbero’s site. That is because so many people has told me that I should package a software I actually use, and well, I really use it.
jaws is nice, I won’t share some security bugs on it (for example the 777 mode on xml/ directory), and I’ll try to contribute it to my upstream friend, Jonathan Hernández. I will definitely have news about jaws package on the next days, before thrusday, for sure.

The easy coming on Saturday
I don’t know what happen on weekends. I usually do nothing productive, this blog is one of those things
Anyway, I made my hackergotchi. I was tedious since I really can’t handle Gimp in a good way, and I’m quite a newbie with image processor tools.
So here it is:
This kind of things happen when you don’t know really what to do, what to think, what to eat, where to go… Anyway, that pic is like 6 months old, my hair is longer now
