I was told by Pérez, who was in Mallorca

"I was told by Perez, who was in Mallorca, and there the hapiness never ends during night and day", that's what an old spanish song says :) , and I had the opportunity to confirm it during last weekend (7th, 8th and 9th) when I went to Mallorca invited to give a talk at Bulma's 3rd free software conference. Bulma is one of the most important LUGs in Spain (if not the most)

The conferences were very interesting and I had a great time there. I saw there many old (and new) friends, among them, Amaya Rodrigo, who I haven't seen for a long time. Amaya was the only person I knew in Madrid when I gave my first talk many years ago. Since then, she's been very active in the Debian and GNOME projects which makes our talk even more interesting. We talked about Mao, a really interesting card game that everybody loves (at least, everybody who has played it :) ), and we made a deal: If I write a Mao client application following her specifications (it must support network play and have a chat window), she'll switch to KDE. She even signed the deal with her gpg key at her blog. Now I only have to find time to develop it...

On Sunday there was no direct plane to Málaga, so I took one to Madrid, stayed there for some hours meeting some very good friends who I always enjoy to see and having lunch with them, and then I went back to Málaga in the afternoon. On Sunday evening I was completely worn out, and the tiredness lasted for a couple of days, since work consumed more than 30 hours on the 3 first days of the week.

Anyway, it was worth it (I mean... getting tired during the weekend, not getting tired at work :) )
