So I saw the OOo new york ad campaign and it looks promising however the add looked really awful. It seems some designers have stepped in and finally we got a good Mockup of the design.

However I was a bit confused why some people didn\’t took the idea of cooperating to this campaign because it wasn\’t done on their country.

The problem with this is that it divides the community efforts for other divisions that are not so important.



So the Linux podcasts have started to grow more. The Linux Action show is a new podcast that seem to focus on Linux news. Which is a bit a disapointment since we still waiting a podcast that dedicate itself to the actual use of Linux on the desktop rather that commenting linux-related world events.

Specially since most of this events can\’t hardly be used for anything.

I haven\’t seen anything new from other promising podcasts line the source code which was a video podcast that look really promising. The best part was that they show the actual code and way to do things.



So paypal is a very famous site, however Paypal is not that known in mexico and the worst part is that is hard to actually get a support envioroment to do transactions. Even on google is hard to get Paypal documentation for Mexico.

Mexican banks such as Bancomer, Banamex, HSBC and Scotiabank know virtually nothing about Paypal and they can\’t provide any type of support.

Paypal also has no knowledge of Mexican banks and they can\’t recomend anything. Paypal Mexico basically doesnt exist and paypal integration around countries also doesn\’t work.

The main problem is that I can\’t add funds to the paypal account. Looking around i found a good discussion about Paypal in Mexico however something happened that I got completly lost and couldnt execute as I thought.

I wll keep googling for the information.



Cedric Bosdonnat has just give an update on his project to integrate OOo\’s UNO framework with the popular developer platform, Eclipse.

Cedric mentions on his blog about OOoEclipseIntegration 1.0.3 has some improved documentation, better JavaDoc extensability and also an internal model refactoring.

Cedric writes:

Now you can create a new UNO project using a URE instance, the type browser will show you only the URE types and in a future version you will be able to create a new URE application and run it.

Lately I have seen a lot of Linux magazines… ok I saw it on TUX magazine and Linux Reality about people asking for tutorails that actually migrate from Windows to Linux. Meaning that explains the way you do it on windows and the way you do it on Linux.

For example I will do a small tutorial to do the thing people do on Windows and then on Linux.

Windows Ways

  • Go to Control Panel
  • Click on User Accounts
  • Activate a New User
  • Specify the Priviledge

On Linux (with LinuxConf):

  • Go to LinuxConf
  • Select Users
  • Type your name and password as well as real name
  • Log out or switch session with the new account

On Linux (from Command Line):

  • Open a terminal
  • Type
    su

    and type your password

  • type
    adduser

    and the name of the user

Having more of this Windows/Linux guides might be what many ex-windows users criying for.



Mavs finally looked good on both ends but might hhave ben too late. With 2 min and 1 point they need momentum.



Mavs have been wanting to score a 3 pointer for a while. this has turned into an obsession which miight cost them the championship. Let see how that goes.



Under a real brain error, I completely missed game 5. With a confusion on the channels and at nba.com, I missread the games to play. To make matters worst, my team lost.

And it seemed to be the best game someone far with an overtime. With a game winning point and a game losing error.



They got everything for a streak, but a dumb offense made the mavs loose bad on what it seemed to be a close 4th quarter. But nothing happened. Nice try, time to roll up the starter and plan for game 5.

I guess we will have a tight finals series after all. The way this is going the heat are confortable enough to win at home.



the game so far has been going with a lot of upbeat tempo. there has been less amount of turnovers. However the Heat has been a bit too much to be an on-the-line game. With less than 10 points we hope to see a good 4th quarter.
