Method for locating yourself in space and in time
Today I had a nice and productive day, code-wise. Maybe that’s a side effect from being unable to lose my time following E-mail? Anyway, checking my code with git citool previous to today’s git commit, I came accross this method. I didn’t even pay attention to it while writing. But it did make me laugh in semi-awe thinking about the great implications it might have. The method signature: def days_for(who, what, how) The code itself? Naah, too pedestrian, to simplistic. It will ruin the sight. It just looks so beautifully universal! Ok, I am compelled to share, even if it...

Manteniendo el estado en nuestras aplicaciones Web: Una historia de galletas y de resúmenes
Una grandísima proporción de los sistemas desarrollados hoy en día, siguen el paradigma cliente-servidor. Y si bien hay muy diferentes maneras de implementar sistemas cliente-servidor, indudablemente la más difundida hoy por hoy es la de los sistemas Web. La conjunción de un protocolo verdaderamente simple para la distribución de contenido (HTTP) con un esquema de marcado suficientemente simple pero suficientemente rico para presentar una interfaz de usuario con la mayor parte de las funciones requeridas por los usuarios (HTML) crearon el entorno ideal para el despliegue de aplicaciones distribuídas. Desde sus principios, el estándar de HTTP menciona cuatro verbos por...

That’s the reason for the harp on the altar: She is patron of music

Santa Cecilia Acatitlan and San Bartolo Tenayuca archaeologic micro-sites
On August 22, 2009, Pooka and Moni offered a visit to the archaeological mini-sites in Tlalnepantla, the municipality they live in in Estado de México, Northern part of Mexico City. More people were originally invited, but in the end, only Caro, Vicm3 and myself were able to attend. We had a very nice day, visiting Santa Cecilia Acatitlan and San Bartolo Tenayuca, two very similar sites with Chichimeca constructions and colonial churches. Tlalnepantla is a very strange municipality nowadays. Pooka explained us of its vast regional influence, until it gave way to Texcoco —and later Mexico-Tenochtitlan— as the dominant power....

San Bartolo Tenayuca, Tlalnepantla
Activities for the San Bartolomé Apóstol patronal festivities. Note the Mexican spelling of the Plaza Huichita ☺

San Bartolo Tenayuca pyramid, Tlalnepantla
One of the best displays of the Fuego Nuevo ritual, where every 52 years everything was rebuilt, reborn — even pyramids

San Bartolo Tenayuca church, Tlalnepantla
Looks quite similar from the outside, but from inside, it was clearly more important than Santa Cecilia
