Days -1 and 0 in Málaga: Humanisation of the Contributors

Saturday, 27 August 2005
This is my first blog in Málaga and my intention is to write one each day, retelling that day's events. I hope to keep up with this for all the days I will be here. As you may or may not be aware, this is my first KDE event outside of Brazil. Until this Wednesday, I could count on one hand the number of KDE contributors I knew: Helio, Martin Konold, Andras Mantia, Josef Spillner and Gustavo Boiko. Read More

Malaga .... first impression

Friday, 26 August 2005
I arrived yesterday after a 7 hours flight to zurich, 6 hours in Flughafen Zurich... 2.5 hours flight to malaga (waited for 45 minutes to get my luggages ... and I was told it was fast for here :) ) and I was tired ... but wait to much tired to go to sleep so we decided to go to the beach, after a quick trip to the supermarket.

Malaga Day 0

Friday, 26 August 2005
My KDE related activities, besides visiting the local usability meetings, increased over the last days again (finally implemented the feature to open blocked popup-windows within Konqueror). With the contract for my job starting next month signed, I can now be sure it will stay at a high level. Read More

Malaga Day 1

Friday, 26 August 2005
For most people day one will be the first day of the user conference, for me and the e.V. members it is Friday. As previously written I didn't sleep well last night, not much more than 3 hours. Went to the breakfast area where the interesting game started to order your drink (water, orange juice or coffee) and what you want to have on your bread (tomato or jelly) because the waitress doesn't speak any word English and most of us no word Spanish. If you want to eat more you have to pay (and succeed to order it). Read More

Spanish affair

Friday, 26 August 2005
So I am in Spain/Malaga. First, I would like to thank HnZeKtO for picking me up from the airport. My plane was 40 minutes late (you quite get used to that when flying with BA), before that spent 4h at the Gatwick airport. The have no free wifi @#$^#@$%^!#$^#$&$#. Weather is great, ppl friendly, although usually don't speak English at all, or rather poor. Whether woman are hot, is still to be found. Truth is, every one is walking here half naked. Which is great :-) Makes me sweat even more. For curious loozers that couldn't get their arses up here, here are some photos (I will update it as it will grow) - http://gj.pointblue.com.pl/akademy2005/ . Read More

I hate C APIs

Thursday, 25 August 2005
Well, not all of them. Those that create tons of structs for datatypes and even more functions to work with them. I hate them because they almost look like sane OOP APIs but are awfully to use compared to what real OOP languages would offer Read More
