Infinite Pig Theorem

Just in case you own an iBook (I don’t really know if it is the same on the PowerBook machines) do not do the following.

If you are giving a talk and for some reason you have to close the lid of your iBook, do not leave the computer near to the projector’s fan, where the heat is on fire.

My iBook has these little plastic things in the inside part of the lid, on the corners, in the top. After leaving one of the corners near to the fan, my rubber thing was f**ked up and completely fused.

Now, when closing the lid, this is crooked.

CONSOL is finally over. Organization stuff has been pretty tiring this year. But I’m widely satisfied what we’ve reached: Being probably the most important free software conference in Mexico.

Not too much people attended this year, but I’m happy I could shake hands with lots of them. I want to thank specially Steve Langasek, who only could be here three days; Gustavo Noronha, what could I say about him? kov rocks and Fernanda Weiden who gave CONSOL a nice and interesting “Free software with a female touch” talk.

Mexico has not too many people involved in Debian development, there are obviuosly more user parties: I’m definitively convinced this should change, that’s why I tried to give two talks about it, one about helping the Debian project (in some of the common tasks) and one about package creation. I really enjoyed giving this last one, it was on a room with 20 computers, which every one of them had an interested people on it. Even some other persons gathered on the halls trying to see the workshop (kov sat on the rug with his laptop ;-).

2005 is only two months old, but we’ve having a feeling more free software development and usage (as well as nice conferences) will be coming. Just for 2006 there would be some other interesting conferences: CONSOL, DebConf6, LinuxWorld (rumors say it will be held in Mexico - at least a Latin(?) version), and some kind of mexican GUADEC (with the folks of the Novell Ximian mexican office).

As it was already showed on debian-devel mailing list, Miriam Ruiz, Anibal Monsalve and me have been working on a new face for the NEW queue summary.

Every comment on the discussion has been appreciated and discussed, we are working hard on them

Encontré algo muy curioso en uno de los mails spam que encontré en mi Inbox: El elegante correo de un spammer que usa Ximian Evolution ¡1.0.8!

Cagado

mambo has just been uploaded to experimental by anibal. It will remain on NEW queue, until is approved.

Beta-testing is welcome and truly appreciated by any mamber out there. Grab it from here.

CONSOL, the mexican free software conference, is getting closer and closer: It’ll be held from 22nd to 25th, this February. Some Debian colleagues will be here as well, I can’t wait for it. Everybody is invited to join

Pues desde esta semana ya no he estado trabajando en la Universidad. Ahora mi compromiso con la Ibero se limita a ser un estudiante mᳮ Esto significa que puedo ir con los pantalones rotos y con mi look skatito huelemonas.

Tal como mi club de fans me conoció

Antes de bañarme, tomé la máquina para rasurar (esa que tiene peines variables) y sin meditarlo más (para no arrepentirme) me la metí justo en el centro, al frente. Ya luego me seguí con lo demás.

Como no tengo cámara para tomarme fotos detalladas, sólo puedo mostrar una que me tomó el buen Daniel Blanco, de Nekotec, desde su teléfono Sonny Ericsson, quizá no sea la mejor fotografía, pero algo es algo:

Un par de personas me dijeron el día de hoy que me veía bastante más chico… Cosa que me agradó oír ¿Me mocharé definitivamente la barba esta noche? Entérese en el próximo post
