Yesterday I received the Ubuntu CD’s I requested one month ago. Well, I won’t talk about technical stuff, just 2 new things:
There’re no longer2 CD’s in one pack. If you want to install, first run the Live CD, and then, click on the icon. I haven’t tested it yet, so I can’t tell whether […]

 
Grace paused. And while she did, the clouds scattered and let the moonlight through and Dogville underwent another of those little changes of light. It was if the light, previously so merciful and faint, finally refused to cover up for the town any longer. Suddenly you could no longer imagine a berry that would […]

Vim has released some time ago its 7th version. The first surprise was the compilation: It took only 5 minutes to compile it from the source, I was expecting some hours though!
Vim 7 contains many additional features, the most important are

Spell checking (Finally!) for many languages with highlighting.
More user-friendly completion using a menu to […]

Found an interesting free e-book that you can download from Cypher Press website (216 KB).
The book is a collection of limericks, short funny poems with particular structure. There are also analysis of the poems with possible variants. Be careful of offensive and “dirty” words and meanings.
There was a young Royal Marine,
Who tried to fart […]

Nvu is a powerful WYSIWYG HTML and XHTML editor. I exclusively use this program when designing web pages for it’s reliable, has many features, supports CSS and generates valid code, let’s not mention it’s free!
However, it has been exactly one year since the last release of Nvu, 1.0 in June 22nd, 2005; no update, […]

Interesting feature in G-Talk, which consists of federating Jabber with G-Talk. Thus, in your Gmail’s AJAX interface, you can add Jabber contacts and chat with them!
Well, a funny contact is called Factland, it’s a robot that consists of a knowledge base, just add the contact factland@jabber.org
Next, type
fact
and it will render a random fact, for […]

Chess was not only owned by Sovietic players in the second half of the XXth century: Nobody can ignore Robert James “Bobby” Fischer, one of the most invincible players who could build a Myth and destroy it quickly!
The legend started when he was 14, he became the youngest US champion, defeating Reshevski in a very […]

 Kaiser brought to me some Tom and Jerry episodes that he downloaded (What’s wrong, IRAA fuckers? must I pay royalities for a more-than-50-year-old cartoon?). Well, it has been a long time I haven’t watched these adventures, I had a look just for nostalgy, and I don’t know what’s that magic thing that forces me […]

Having fun looking at some Internet acronyms and slangs. I figured that there are expressions I use everyday in chatting, and I can make them within some letters, my favorite are:

RTFM: read the fucking manual (Sorry Theos, I will have to use it )
IIRC: if I remember/recall correctly
FYI: For Your Information
n00b: newbie in […]

Eu tendo a acreditar nos economistas quando dizem ser impossível gerenciar países como o nosso de outra forma. Quem sou eu para opinar? Tenho também pouco interesse em ler opiniões de leigos, de gente desavisada a esse respeito. Às vezes podem dizer coisas interessantes, ou até brilhantes, mas quando chega a hora de uma […]

His name is Abu Ayyub al-Masri also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajer. Major General William Caldwell, US military spokesman in Baghdad, said: “What we […]

Mi niña se fue a la mar,
a contar olas y chinas,
pero se encontró, de pronto,
con el río de Sevilla.
 
Entre adelfas y campanas
cinco barcos se mecían,
con los remos en el agua
y las velas en la brisa.
 
¿Quién mira dentro la torre
enjaezada, de Sevilla?
Cinco voces contestaban
redondas como sortijas.
 
El cielo monta gallardo
al río, de orilla a orilla.
En el […]

I fell in love with a Wiki platform, DokuWiki.
Never seen such thing! It doesn’t need any SQL database, security policy is excellent, code is strangely XHTML valid (even when I try to screw it up), everything is controlled through admin interface, it has a cool behavior, and hacking on it is very simple and […]
