However I also seen some good side to the story. Be able to talk to some old friends from school. I had the chance to catch up. Talk more than just the weather and be able to play around with many of the new toys I’ve gotten.
So i didn’t get an iphone but close. End of story i got my hands on one. Besides that i also got an olpc and probably wil get it by the end of the summer.
With new things comming up i also want to get a new digital cammera, however… Is there a digital cammera that runs linux and bluetooth?
The beach and pool has been fine, the food has been awesome. However on both there has been drawbacks. I’m not on my best shape and eating too much is not helping. The pool has been great however i started getting some odd irritation under my arm and is starting to bug me. So overal vacations aare rolling, they are far from perfect but also not so bad.

This is a rather small test from my N800. Howrver this app I just got seemed to actually work. So let see how it behaves with this article. Right now I’m watching the iphone coverage but seemed to be a fiasco. Oh well, let see how it goes. So far looks cool.
Is funny when you are talking to geeks they seem to read only what they want to hear. Now that I have been doing some debates with them they seem to be very into themselves. This happened to me on a recent podcast I did with other geeks. It was funny when I try to disect the problem on data loss. I point out that most of the cases of data loss in the windows world comes from users being forced to format their computers because of virus and spywares. Suddenly another geek told me that was completely false, that data losss could come from failed harddrives and that users deserved their data loss becuase they don’t do backups.
This really got me thinking if he even heard what I said?
So first off, what is with that attitude of users deserve their data loss because they don’t do backups. If he has any experience with the real world he will know that users don’t even know what backup means. They are certainly too busy running their lives to even tell what backup means.
Second of that is a different discussion which wasn’t the point since well, most users do suffer of windows frecuent infections. The point is that Linux being virus free will mean that at least they will get more probabilities to have their data preserved.
I guess he could touch different points to stirr a debate but I really don’t think so. Anyway this was a very good point to talk more about that got lost in the discussion of stupid backups.
Talking with one of the prime members of the spanish community in OpenOffice.org we discover some of the great improvements over the developer snapshot release found in OpenOffice.org. Here are some of the notes:
- State of OOo performance on multiple OS is great
- Insert -> Functions is also greatly improved
- Conditional text features
- Management of DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) is more powerful
- Fields and datasource inserts is also more polished.
- Track changes
- Solver
- Calc has now 1024 columns
New features also show up like PDF editing however is on pretty early stage of development. So far seems that the new versions are raliying up to the task.
So I am thinking on re-designing my site into a more modern content. So far I have asked around and came with a structure that I hope that will work okay for the first part of my work. The content will include:
- Community
- Technologist
- Entrepreneur
- Life
- Blog and Contact
At least for the first part this looks pretty good, so the idea is to update my experience on what I am currently doing right now. Basically my involvement with OpenOffice.org, the work I do and the talks I have given. Also my recent upcoming into Mozilla Mexico and what I’ve been able to do so far.
As far as technology it will go more technical like languages, frameworks, system administration, network setups and just basically geeky stuff. Also my training courses and different things that seem to be very upbeat now.
Entrepreneurship will have some of the articles and different things that I have been working like clic and the training business.
Finally Social will be surrounding my friends around the world and how my life has been as part of social interaction and life experiences. Places I’ve been, and overall description of who I am.
Blogs and contact might be the first part but since I wont be adding anything new I rather just keep it like that.
So my pipe ream for a while has been having a linux TV with 24hr information or at least 5 shows on a weekly time basis. With the popularity of sites like UStream or Stikcam, there is little to wait until the next linux geek will launch the Linux.TV show. So far a couple of crazy guys are already doing this, hope more people will follow chase.
Broadcast powered by Ustream.TV
So lately, I been having a lot of content, and I mean a lot of it. We are talking about almost 6 month of content which will slowly be crep in. One of the most recent and relevant news is that I am part of the Mozilla team. I am still with OpenOffice.org but Mozilla contacts evolved to make me a co-founder of the Mozilla Mexico group. Also the Mozilla marketing group has been pretty active, from FONASOL, to FLISOL to the Mozilla Download day.
Here are some of the memories from the FLISOL event where I was very involved and came out with pretty good material.
The presentation went pretty good and I hope we can get some comments on how to improve this community.
So currently I am looking into the development of new business opportunities with FLOSS. One thing that I want to get is the deployment of these DVD instructional videos. This videos and material will be available through out the internet.
Here is a sample intro about what the screencast will be available.
Firefox is a great browser and piece of software with Firefox 3 coming new technology on:
- Anti-Spam
- Anti-Fishing
- Presentation layout
- Research and development
I think the new Firefox will make it easier to write extensions and themes and also integration with the rest of the Mozilla tools. I would love to see the work that the Mozilla messaging will come up with under lightning project in respect to Firefox.
