The GCDS, and particularly the Akademy ended. Mostly everyone is still already back home, so all I can say is: Thanks to Agustín, Rodrigo, Miki and the rest of the local organization team for the great conference. Read More

Yesterday I learnt about two new options for my xorg.conf : Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" I must thank the X Strike Force guys from Debian for that knowledge :). Read More

It's been a long time since my last entry here, so I think I'll start by giving an update of my life lately. I've been a bit away from KDE development for too long (but not from the KDE community fortunately). Read More

Finally I arrived to my home. I've been for the last three days having a wonderful time at the Canary Islands with many great people (both, the organizators and the other speakers) at the 1st Free Software event of the University of La Laguna. Read More

I arrived yesterday from a 10 days holidays around Spain. There are some things that I'd like to share with everyone, so I'll try to tell a brief report about it. Read More

Wow, it's been a long time since my last blog entry, exactly 10 weeks and 4 days... A brief summary of the last weeks would be: a great time at a couple of talks (at the 802. Read More

During last weekend I managed to find some time to continue developing the web interface for digikam that I mentioned in a previous blog entry, so I added some new features: Read More

Currently I have 21458 photos according to digikam's database (which are using 13 Gb according to du ). When someone asks me to put some album in my web server I hate to lose my time exporting to html, generating thumbnails and resized 1024x768 versions of my pictures which occupy space in my HD that I'm usually hesitant to remove.

It's important to have information organized, and everyone who tried know it's difficult to organize things efficiently. Lately most applications are trying to help the user to do exactly that, and in my opinion that will be the factor users will use to choose one application over another: how the application allows them to organize the information they work with.

"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. Read More

This is a photo of a safety guide I found in my plane from Madrid to Málaga last Sunday: [image:1940 size=preview] I don't know how others read that, but what I read is that Iberia recommends "for your safety" not to use Windows ;-). Read More

The short version: My computer was broken and I haven't had mail since the 19th of March until today, sorry if you were waiting for me to answer some mail, I'll try to do so as soon as possible. Read More

I was going to post something here when I noticed Martijn's post titled I should blog more often, and like him, I think I should do the same. My last post was in January, and there have been a lot of things happening in the meantime that even I'm surprised to find I didn't post about them. Read More

Some days ago I was talking with a friend and he told me I should read a book that talked about the subject we were talking about. I had to answer I have too many books in my queue waiting at home for me to find some time to read them. Read More

It's been a long time since I blogged for the last time, so to compensate I'll post a few blog entries today :) First, it seems this year I'll be giving some more KDE talks than last year. Read More

The 3 wise men (thanks Seele for the translation :) ) were wise and kind enough this year as to bring me a new camera that will replace my old (and broken since a friend of mine sliped it to the floor) Canon Powershot A70 that so many good moments has shared with me. Read More

Wow, I'm happy today. The story starts some years ago (around 2001, if I'm not wrong), when I bought a trackball (a Trackman Marble FX from Logitech). This model has 4 buttons, the three usual ones on all mice, and a 4th button that (in Windows) was used to emulate a wheel (pressing that button and moving the ball, allows to have a mouse wheel that can pan freely, horizontally and vertically on documents, which, btw, is really cool when working with images). Read More

Sometimes I doubt if I have a blog or not since I write seldomly here, anyway, I wouldn't like to let the opportunity to pass to be able to say I hope all of you KDE developers, users, artists, and contributors in general have a successful year and can find lots of reasons to smile (yes, I say that 4 days later than most people, but hey, better that than nothing, isn't it? Read More

The other day I spent quite a lot of time at work working with timezones and daylight savings in an application. This application interacts with an airport system to get the times at which the planes arrive and so, it has to do some calculations for timezones and DST. Read More

It's been a long time since the last time I blogged around here, so this will be a bit long, but anyway, I'll try to be brief to not use too much time writing. Read More

Finally, I've chosen the subject to research for my DEA (the investigation that precedes the thesis of a PhD). The title is "Computational analysis of the propagation of compactons in non-lineal transmission lines". Read More

I finally got to Castelló after a 1 hour and 30 minutes delay waiting to get in to the plane at the airport. Tomorrow (Saturday) I'll give a KDE user talk at the iParty, at 16:00 . Read More

This weekend I've been finally able to rest for a while. On saturday morning I went to get my car to be repaired but the person that I needed doesn't work on saturdays. Read More

This week has been quite tiring. First, my boss didn't allow me to take Monday as a personal free day in order to clear up the things we left from the akademy at the university. Read More

It's said that everything good gets to an end, and that's what happened to the akademy: Finally, it's over. Celeste asked me during the party at the beach if I was glad the akademy was over, after thinking about it for a day, I should say I'm not. Read More

Well, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to tell much of what I'm doing. I've given 5 KDE talks in 2 weeks (3 one week, 2 at the next weekend). Read More

Today I got a phone call from my university residence contact (a really nice and friendly person, btw). She told me that she was allocating the rooms everyone would get, but she had some problems. Read More

Hi, This is my first blog, and this is my first blog entry, so this can be considered a test... or not. To add something interesting I'll say that in the following hours, we (we == the akademy team) will announce that the deadline for article submissions will be delayed a few days (just a few, so if you want to submit something, you better do it now).
