Más o menos la función que hace la Guia de Butxaca o la Guia del Ocio en Barcelona. Pero on-line. sería fantástico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pues bien, existen diferentes portales que lo hacen, pero claro para poder hacerse ricos intentan &quot;quedarse con todo el mercado&quot;, y no permiten exportar o importar los eventos programados en sus páginas a otras páginas de eventos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por ejemplo imaginad que una página pudiera publicar un &quot;feed&quot; de eventos, al estilo RSS o ATOM, i que tu tuvieras un agregador de eventos, y te registraras como suscriptor de eventos de los temas que más te gusten (por ejemplo, todos los eventos relacionados con web 2.0 en barcelona, todos los eventos relacionados con programación, todos los eventos relacionados con cata de vinos, etc etc).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tener una página personalizada donde agregas todas las fuentes de eventos que te interesan seria magnífico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues esto (me parece que) no es posible porque Upcoming.com, Eventful.com y los que sean, prefieren que los &quot;eventos&quot; no sean &quot;sindicables&quot;... muy mal, porque incluso hay un estándard del IETF para sindicar eventos (se llama iCal y es heredero de vCal).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pues un ingeniero de Microsoft ha decidido realizar esta visión... y lo mejor: con las &quot;Best Tool for the Work&quot;, es decir, utiliza Python, Azure, C#, Del.icio.us y otras herramientas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;el proyecto se llama elmcity (http://elmcity.cloudapp.net/) y puedes añadirte como &quot;curator&quot; para tu &quot;agregador de eventos&quot;. Yo ahora mismo me he puesto como &quot;curator&quot; de barcelona. Entonces tu publicas los &quot;eventos&quot; en del.icio.us, y elmcity los pilla, los agrega con otros relacionados, y genera un feed iCal para que tus amigos puedan suscribirse a los eventos de la zona con iCal (compatible con Google Calendar).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mola, no ??</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2009/10/elmcity-project.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-1414676897233616353</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-01-09T04:36:29.352-08:00</atom:updated><title>finanzas</title><description>estoy leyendo el artículo de Martin Varsavsky sobre Madoff en el huffington post, y dice que Piedrahita tenía a 2 Phd&#39;s investigando el fondo de inversiones de Madoff y que no hallaron nada irregular porque les dieron información fraudulenta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esto de las auditorías y las investigaciones sobre cómo funciona una empresa, desde siempre me ha causado bastante intriga, es decir, por ejemplo: cómo un registrador de la propiedad te asegura que una casa no tiene gravámenes ? pues va a los registros oficiales, y si allí no pone nada es que no los tiene. Cómo un auditor te asegura que una empresa cumple algunos requisitos ? pues te lo asegura &quot;bastante&quot;, es decir, ellos van a la empresa y le dicen al jefe &quot;Danos estos papeles y estos datos&quot; y el jefe se los da, entonces los auditores te aseguran que &quot;siempre y cuando el jefe nos diera los papeles correctos, esta empresa cumple tales requisitos&quot;, cuanto más &quot;física&quot; es la auditoría más auditable es: si hay que hacer un recuento de activos y la empresa vende camiones, van los auditores a la empresa, cuentan los camiones que hay y luego multiplican y esos son los activos, pero si la empresa vende software, entonces tienen que ir al jefe y pedirle los datos ( y igual piden acceso a las máquinas y miran unos cuantos logs del apache). Y si la empresa es un fondo de inversión, entonces es que por muy Phd&#39;s que sean los auditores, es un puro cachonde: van al jefe y le piden los excel que demuestra que todo funciona, y el jefe le pasa los excel... Un puto excel ! si me quereis auditar ahora mismo os paso unos excel q he hecho que demuestran que soy cojonudo. Claro, supongo que pueden llamar al banco y confirmar si la empresa auditada tiene XXmil euros en tal y cual cuenta, o a ver si los resultados publicados de una de las empresas participadas por el fondo realmente está teniendo beneficios... pero no dejan de ser todo excel&#39;s !! no hay nadie que vaya a contar camiones... la verdad me fiaría mas de un FP contando camiones que de 2 PHd&#39;s leyendo Excel&#39;s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;total que no entiendo mucho como el Piedrahita ese dice &quot;Oh, no ! esque teniamos a 2 Phd&#39;s comprobando que los datos eran ciertos, por eso nos sorprende tanto que Madoff nos haya timado Cincuenta-Mil-Millones-De-Dólares (CMMdD)&quot; moraleja: no le dejes a nadie CMMdD a no ser que hayas contado por lo menos medio millón de camiones contantes y sonantes.</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2009/01/finanzas.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-8315207451033691090</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-03T14:00:50.029-08:00</atom:updated><title>children-proof world</title><description>I&#39;m in a hotel in London.

I must tell: It is excellent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was afraid it would be one of those marginal projects that start and only get some love once a year or so, but I was wrong: they&#39;ve released two new versions (1.3 and 1.4) since I started using it, each new version Much better than the previous one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I&#39;ve been programming Rails, and I missed that feature of footnotes plugin that let you directly open some file that has thrown an exception by clicking on an txmt:// link on the page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ive been trying to create an emacsclient URL protocol handler with python and registering it to the operating system so that eny emc:// URL would be opened by EmacsCLlient (and thus AquamacsEmacs) but this way has been quite painful and at last I&#39;ve found a much simpler solution:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;create this AppleScript:&lt;br /&gt;property eclient : &quot;/opt/local/bin/emacsclient -n &quot;&lt;br /&gt;property eclientexec : &quot;/opt/local/bin/emacsclient -e \&quot;(goto-line &quot;&lt;br /&gt;property eopen : &quot;/usr/bin/open -a /Applications/Aquamacs\\ Emacs.app &quot;&lt;br /&gt;(* copied from http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2005/jun/msg00785.html *)&lt;br /&gt;to split(needle, haystack)&lt;br /&gt; set oTIDs to the text item delimiters&lt;br /&gt; set the text item delimiters to needle&lt;br /&gt; set hay to (text items of haystack)&lt;br /&gt; set the text item delimiters to oTIDs&lt;br /&gt; return hay&lt;br /&gt;end split&lt;br /&gt;(*set t to &quot;&lt;!-- Begin --&gt;I really like pie&lt;!-- End --&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;set commentString to item 1 of split({&quot;&lt;!--&quot;}, item 2 of split({&quot;--&gt;&quot;}, t)) &lt;br /&gt;returns &quot;I really like pie&quot; *)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on open location this_URL&lt;br /&gt; set the my_URL to text 7 thru -1 of this_URL&lt;br /&gt; set the my_FILE to item 1 of split({&quot;&amp;&quot;}, my_URL)&lt;br /&gt; set the my_LINE to item 2 of split({&quot;=&quot;}, my_URL)&lt;br /&gt; do shell script eclient &amp; my_FILE&lt;br /&gt; do shell script eclientexec &amp; my_LINE &amp; &quot;)\&quot;&quot;&lt;br /&gt; (*display dialog my_FILE*)&lt;br /&gt;end open location&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;compile it and make an application, then on firefox you just click on an emc:// link and it asks you what application to use, go and find your recently created appplescript App, and Tachan !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use 3, but I think it should work on 2, if it doesn&#39;t you&#39;ll need to register a protocol handler on your Mac for emc:// URLS, that is done by adding this:&lt;br /&gt;(this should be XML but I&#39;ve seen that blogger removes the xml tags, so indentation stands for the XML tags, quoted strings are the element contents, but when you create the XML you should *remove the quotes* !)&lt;br /&gt;array&lt;br /&gt;  dict&lt;br /&gt;    key&lt;br /&gt;      &quot;CFBundleURLName&quot;&lt;br /&gt;    /key&lt;br /&gt;    string&lt;br /&gt;      &quot;EmacsClient URL&quot;/&lt;br /&gt;    /string&lt;br /&gt;    key&lt;br /&gt;      &quot;CFBundleURLSchemes&quot;&lt;br /&gt;    /key&lt;br /&gt;    array&lt;br /&gt;      string&lt;br /&gt;        &quot;emc&quot;&lt;br /&gt;      /string&lt;br /&gt;    /array&lt;br /&gt;  /dict&lt;br /&gt;/array&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to the Info.plist&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on the footnotes Rails plugin, change vendor/plugin/footnotes/init.rb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Footnotes::Filter.prefix ||= &#39;txmt://&#39; if RUBY_PLATFORM.include?(&#39;darwin&#39;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to be &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Footnotes::Filter.prefix ||= &#39;emc://&#39; if RUBY_PLATFORM.include?(&#39;darwin&#39;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that should be all !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;please if you&#39;ve read this and found it interesting, leave a commend saying Yes !

I used to be subscribed to slashdot but I finally got to quit (like w/ tabacco).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now my only time-sink is my reader.google.com... oh god how much time it takes !! I sometimes feel like the Little Prince when he had to prune his baobabs... every day he had to get-up early in the morning and execute this ever-lasting routine of prunning the baobabs, and if one day he forgot, more work he would have for the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s how I sometimes feel about reader.google.com, I have to go at least once a day to &quot;prune&quot; my feed-reader !! It&#39;s like if someone wanted to feed me with lots of info against my will !! so I have to go everyday to prune the info so that I don&#39;t drown in it if there accumulates too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It used to happen this same thing with gmail, but at some point I decided there was nothing wrong with having N unread messages in my inbox, so now I have my gmail with 2811 unread messages and nothing happens, I just feel allright... I don&#39;t prune the baobabs anymore, I just let them grow...&lt;br /&gt;so I think I should do the same with reader... nothing happens if you start to let the unread items grow !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but anyway, I would really appreciate if google added a &quot;Pause feed&quot; feature to reader.google.com so that I could pause some feeds... Its *not* the same as unsbuscribing, because in reader.google.com I created my database of interesting news feeds, and some of them I maybe want to unsubscribe *temporarily* just to avoid information overheads !  so I use googlereader as a Bookmark or database of interesting news feeds that I always want to have searchable, but I want them to be temporarily paused, wouldn&#39;t that be useful ? to me yes.</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2008/05/continuous-partial-attention-and-like.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-6751449014405422347</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2008 09:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-05-23T02:26:12.646-07:00</atom:updated><title>de gimnastas solidarios a calistenistas autosuficientes</title><description>Acabo de dejar Gimnastas Solidarios, por fin ! después de un año en el programa &quot;Apadrina un gimnasio&quot;, mi gimnasio ya se ha independizado !! me alegro mucho por él, ahora podrá hacer su camino sin mi ayuda ! espero que las cosas le vayan muy bien, al fin y al cabo este intenso año de relación nos ha unido bastante ! (aunque no lo suficiente).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hace exactamente un año me apunté al gimnasio de la barceloneta, creo que era mayo o junio del 2007, en todo este año he ido 2 veces al gimnasio y una a karate !! y pago 33 euros al mes !! bueno, esto de apadrinar gimnasios ya sabeis que es duro, pero merece la pena ! cuando ves a tu gimnasio crecer, independizarse de ti e iniciar su propia andadura... es emocionante !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tengo que decir que me siento libre, libre de gimnasio y de recibos de gimnasio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiero agradecer la ayuda de la ONG Gimnastas Solidarios que me asesoró siempre perfectamente en todo el complicado proceso de apadrinar un gimnasio, y en concreto a Soledad Gómez de Apadrina un Gimnasio por su ayuda y atención en los momentos más difíciles del apadrinamiento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora he iniciado una nueva aventura con Calistenistas Sin Fronteras. Después de haber visto las películas 300 y &quot;Into the wild&quot; (o Rutas Salvajes, en spanish)  me interesé por el mundo de los calistenics, que aunque tengan este nombre tan guay, no son más que los mismos ejercicios que haces en el gimnasio, pero *sin máquinas*, es decir, que vayas donde vayas, estés donde estés, hagas lo que hagas siempre podrás hacer Calisthenics !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basicamente calisthenics es hacer cualquier ejercicio en el que la resistencia la ofrezca el peso de tu propio cuerpo. Esto tiene varias ventajas: no necesitas pesas, y nunca te vas a inchar como un globo, porque tus músculos estarán hecho a la medida de tu cuerpo, el ideal de belleza griego!&lt;br /&gt;Los típicos abdominales, flexioines, pull-ups... son calisthenics, pero hay más !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Calisthenics originated in ancient Greece. It is mentioned as a Persian scouts&#39; report on Spartan warriors before the Battle of Thermopylae, who misinterprets calisthenics as a sign of weakness.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es decir que los Espartanos estaban tan cuadraos porque siempre que se aburrian se ponían a hacer Calisthenics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que me venga el Xerxes ese a tocar los conejos después de hacer mis tablas de Calisthenics, ya verá ya !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y el Cristopher McCandless de Into The Wild, también se pasaba el día haciendo calisthenics, y para los que no lo sepais, yo quiero ser un Cristopher McCandless !!

Si fuera a montar otra empresa, haría un lector de RSS online con esta &#39;feature&#39;... pero ahora que lo pienso, los usuarios tendrían que indicar cual es el post original. O bueno, en realidad yo podria &#39;inferir&#39; esa información de los keywords, y links del post. Eso añadiría la salsa mágica diferenciadora de mi lector de RSS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por otro lado, soy usuario de muchas redes sociales distintas. Según mi punto de vista, todas intentan crearse un &#39;perfil&#39; de ti, de quién eres tu, de qué te interesa, quienes son tus amigos... para utilizar eso para enviarte publicidad &#39;enfocada&#39; a tus necesidades. Esto da mucho dinero (preguntarle al zukerberg de facebook, sino ;P).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realmente siento que si hay algo que es lo que define mejor mi perfil en internet, son los RSS que leo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pues en la próxima red social que haga, voy a sugerir a los usuarios que sean amigos de otros usuarios basándome en la correlación de sus RSS. Si hay mucha correlación, serían buenos amigos, sin duda. Si no hay correlación, también podrian ser buenos amigos, pero con menos afinidades en el internet, por tanto menos interés de ser amigos &#39;a través de internet&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;esto creo que es una idea potentísima. Si conozco a alguien que lea los mismos RSS que yo, seremos amigos, sin duda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ejemplos de las 2 ideas expuestas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy leyendo el excelente Anarchaia, me he cruzado con la noticia de que Mauricio Fernandez ha lanzado ruby-wmii. Ya lo sabía porque estoy suscrito a eigenclass.org.&lt;br /&gt;También ponía que google abría su highly Open Participation Contest. Lo sabía porque estoy suscrito a developer.google.com (o como se llame).&lt;br /&gt;También ponía artículos de Lambda The Ultimate, a los que también estoy suscrito. Y a ruby inside, al q tb estoy suscrito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;También estoy suscrito a bubblegeneration.com, y a las news de sourceforge y developerworks, para estar siempre a la última de qué pasa en el mundo open source.&lt;br /&gt;también estoy suscrito a xkcd y a &quot;La viña del Señor&quot; por la risa, y a fogonazos.com, por pasar 10 minutos al dia con algo interesante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;etc, etc.</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2007/11/nueva-idea.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-8930502704166097269</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2007 23:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-22T15:16:15.937-08:00</atom:updated><title>te partes de la risa</title><description>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWyKOvX00h0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jjajajaja !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;es hilarante, como el gas !</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2007/11/te-partes-de-la-risa.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-8304033253844100669</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2007 21:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-22T13:58:27.953-08:00</atom:updated><title>my fingers hurt again</title><description>Did I tell you that I had Repetitive Strain Injury some time ago ? at that time I think I was using VI... or maybe emacs ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve heard VI is more ergonomic, that&#39;s why even though I love emacs, I&#39;ll start using VIPER mode, which uses some of the ergonomic-key-bindings of VI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;great stuff.</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-fingers-hurt-again.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-3203877902465978608</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-16T06:00:19.567-08:00</atom:updated><title>xkcd</title><description>I usually fear to re-publishing a re-furbished (like my Mac:) article I&#39;ve read in another blog, because maybe my readers have also the other blog in their RSS feeds. but this time Icant help it.

A mi abuela le encanta el chiste &quot;que le dice el gallo a la gallina ? &#39;qué-quieresque-te-diga&#39;&quot;... o el de &quot;qué se ve desde la montaña más alta de Toronto ?&quot;: &quot;Torontontero&quot;, que hace gracia solo porque decir &quot;torontontero&quot; es gracioso (y por lo de &quot;toronto entero&quot;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mi hermano le encanta cambiar y modificar las sílabas de las palabras. Ahora recuerdo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Se atormenta una vecina&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mal parto me raya&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Porro Folar&quot; (en vez de forro polar)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;las dos primeras las sacó de una obra de teatro (se las copió) y el porro folar no se de donde lo sacó. Pero cuando habla siempre cambia alguna sílaba y consigue resultados muy divertidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mi también me hace bastante gracia, últimamente digo bastante &quot;Estoy hasta los conejos&quot;, o &quot;No me toques los conejos&quot;, (en vez de co-jo-nes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Últimamente he leido bastantes posts sobre el tratamiento informático de las palabras y los lenguajes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por ejemplo hay un post del director de research de Google Peter Norvig que explica el algoritmo que usa google para sugerirte que has hecho un error en el &#39;spelling&#39; de tu búsqueda (eso que te dice Google de ... &quot;quizás quiso decir: sexo&quot; cuando buscas &#39;seco&#39; :P). Está hecho en python aquí: http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html&lt;br /&gt;usa el teorema de Bayes de probabilidad condicionada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y los de PowerSet también están haciendo virguerias con el procesamiento del lenguaje natural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;y mi amigo Ero, un tiempo también estuvo muy interesado en el procesamiento del lenguaje, y llegó a descubrir por su cuenta los &#39;word-clusterings&#39; (para luego darse cuenta de que alguien lo había inventado antes :P) también programado en python, y supongo que con el teorema de bayes.&lt;br /&gt;Hace un tiempo también puso un post sobre python y procesamiento de palabras, aquí: http://blog.dkbza.org/2007/06/powerset-and-garden-path.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hace poco tiempo vi que Peter Norvig ha encontrado el Palíndromo más largo del mundo con un algoritmo hecho en Python (http://www.norvig.com/palindrome.html)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y Paul Graham inventó el primer filtro anti-spam utilizando el teorema de Bayes, la probabilidad condicionada y python http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;total, que esto del procesamiento del lenguaje parece algo muuuuuuuy complicado pero se pueden hacer pequeños experimentos caseros, sin programar demasiadas lineas, que pueden dar resultados espectaculares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parece que Python y el teorema de Bayes son los elementos clave para hacer estos experimentos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi aportación al tema:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para aprender python y a usar el Bayes ese, voy a hacer un programa que tu le des un refrán o dicho, y él te busque todas las posibilidades de permutaciones y cambios de sílabas en las palabras del refrán, que den como resultado otro refran ligeramente distinto pero que en el cual las palabras también tengan sentido. Osea que a este programa tu le dirás&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mal rayo me parta&quot; y el te responderá:&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mal rato me tarta&quot;, &quot;Mal pato me raya&quot;, &quot;Mal paro me tarta&quot;, &quot;Mal parto me raya&quot;, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o &quot;Se avecina una tormenta&quot; y él te responde:&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Se atormenta una vecina&quot;, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;molaría, no ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bueno, tengo mucho trabajo y no creo q lo implemente.

Some time ago I wrote a blog post entitled &#39;switch back to windows&#39;, when I recalled windows sucks, I got back to linux, and new I&#39;ve got a mac with a Leopard in it.&lt;br /&gt;In editors, I&#39;ve been using VI *a lot*, also Eclipse *a lot*, then I learned EMACS and I loved it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;becaus I&#39;m learning ruby, I have a mac, I bought TextMate, as all of the rails core developers use MAC with TM. 39 euros.&lt;br /&gt;It works quite nice, but EMACS is OSS, so it has far more plugins, modes, and stuff. I got used to emacs keybindings, so after having spent 39 euros on TM, I&#39;m sticking to EMACS again. It&#39;s just more powerful and it helps you to learn LISP which is also a plus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquaemacs has nothing to envy to textmate. its MAC-OS look&#39;n&#39;feel, with keybingings, integration with OS and the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But its a *fkin* hell to configure it with the META symbol bound ALT key, and then also get the ç, {, }, á, ] and all that stuff, this was my first approach:&lt;br /&gt;(when (eq system-type &#39;darwin)&lt;br /&gt;  (progn&lt;br /&gt;    (setq mac-option-modifier &#39;meta)&lt;br /&gt;;    (setq mac-pass-option-to-system t)&lt;br /&gt;;and because the last statemet, we need all this weird stuff... no AltGr in mac!&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-`&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;[&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-+&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;]&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-7&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;\\&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-´&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;{&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-ç&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;}&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-1&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;|&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-2&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;@&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-3&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;#&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-4&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;~&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key &quot;\M-º&quot; (lambda () (interactive) (insert &quot;\\&quot;)))&lt;br /&gt;    (global-set-key [(control return)] &#39;set-mark-command)))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but couldn&#39;t get the { and } to work, but I&#39;m thinking the best will be to switch off the     (setq mac-option-modifier &#39;meta)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;UPDATE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seem to have found the solution, just look at site-lisp/macosx/emulate-mac-keyboard-mode.el&lt;br /&gt;and you&#39;ll see how to modify your .emacs to achieve the beautiful { and } and \ with your aquaemacs with spanish keyboard :D</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2007/10/linuxwindowslinuxmac.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-1447933801014235468</guid><pubDate>Wed, 31 Oct 2007 17:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-31T10:47:15.626-07:00</atom:updated><title>back to electronics</title><description>I used to study quite a bit of electronics back at university. At some point, I assmebled a printed board with a microcontroller, 8052 or something like that. I knew voltages and so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I&#39;ve been devoted to software for long time now, and I dont remember anything. I love the internet, so I found instructables.com and creationist.net, then I wanted to do electronics again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are my two next projects:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Build a laser burner:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chC8fz-RxTs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;build a Time Fountain (this one is _amazing_):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvY7NGncCgU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yesterday I was trying to make the laser. I have lots of electronic devices in my room, because everytime a broken electronic gadget comes to my hands, I &#39;deconstruct&#39; it and keep the interesting parts (for fun) (motors, lasers, sensors, etc) so I had 3 spare lasers from an HP laser printer and a DVD burner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so I went to ondaradio and bought a power supply (110 euros), asked for 1W laser but they dont sell lasers anymore. They dont have UV leds (for the time fountain).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at home, I burnt the 3 lasers. Advice: a laser needs a resistor, otherwise it burns.&lt;br /&gt;Next DVD burner I get, I&#39;ll have my laser, with a resistor :)</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2007/10/back-to-electronics.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-1345050231225256895</guid><pubDate>Wed, 31 Oct 2007 07:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-31T00:57:41.766-07:00</atom:updated><title>Interestingness</title><description>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;also see &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://fogonazos.blogspot.com/2007/04/esperando-los-dioses.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is also great :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.behance.net/Gallery/energie-in-motion/42738&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;specially the video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;mediaName&quot; style=&quot;display: none;&quot;&gt;518171192062670.flv&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;mediaLoc&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;object height=&quot;360&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; STYLE=&quot;display: block; z-index: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;PARAM NAME=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;/flash/flvplayer.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;param name=&quot;quality&quot; value=&quot;high&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;embed wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; style=&quot;z-index: 0;&quot; id=&quot;media&quot; src=&quot;/flash/flvplayer.swf&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#282627&quot;  height=&quot;360&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; flashvars=&quot;image=http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51817/projects/42738/518171192062670-0000.png&amp;file=http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51817/projects/42738/518171192062670.flv&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2007/10/interestingness.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-7115706239317119225</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-04T16:19:39.704-07:00</atom:updated><title>whats 2.0 ?</title><description>lately I find myself using X 2.0 quite frequently... we&#39;re facing philosophy 2.0, the world is in its second review. the concept of God needs a 2.0...&lt;br /&gt;yesterday I read what Tim o&#39;reilly thinks is 2.0:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/05/what_would_goog.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tim says it all depends on &quot;the way these companies act with regard to the data they collect&quot;. 2.0 web services &quot;mines its database in real time and builds the results right into its customer-facing applications&quot; using some heuristics on this mined data, they achieve a far greater user experience. He also says its something about &#39;liveness&#39; of the thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a Blonde 2.0, OTOH, thinks 2.0 is &quot;a better and more effective way for us to act upon the same human needs that we’ve always had such as connecting, communicating, and receiving feedback from others&quot; (http://www.blonde2dot0.com/blog/2007/09/27/the-death-of-web-20-cmon/)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 faces of the 2.0: better understanding of the data collected, and better processing by the power of many to offer better user experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont have an opinion, myself. Well, I guess I might have one, but dont regard it very relevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(UPDATE:)&lt;br /&gt;well, putting it another way, I think the 2.0 is a marketing/social/business thing. I am an engineer, so I dont give much credit to these &#39;trends&#39;. I remember talking to my partners about a web page, they kept saying &#39;yes, you do this in ajax&#39;, I didn&#39;t get the whole sense of what they meant, and I kept saying &#39;you mean XMLHttpRequest ?&#39;, so for me there&#39;s no AJAX thing, theres XMLHttpRequest, and there&#39;s no 2.0 thing, there&#39;s a bunch of new aproaches to web interfaces, application architecture, and yes, also a new way of doing web sites where the user is also the producer: a more social approach.&lt;br /&gt;Amongst other reasons, I didnt get ajax because I was doing a firefox extension, so I had studied the APIs firefox provides, I didn&#39;t learn jQuery or prototype, where there&#39;s more a sense of &#39;AJAX&#39;. Well, actually I did understood what they meant, but wanted to remain as much engineer and as least &#39;marketinian&#39; as I could.&lt;br /&gt;Hype makes economic bubbles, engineering never did any harm, it only delivers (hopefully)good technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;regards</description><link>http://logforbuggymind.blogspot.com/2007/09/whats-20.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (elias)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
