The recent OpenSSL incident can not be hidden. It was a very important blow to the Debian project’s public face and reputation. A major hole slipped under the door in the form of a bugfix - and with all the good intention. This was not a deliberate attack, nor was it the result of a bad or sloppy maintainer - It was a honest, although painful, human mistake. Several people started laughing at our processes and supposed strengths right away. I do, however, feel this shows how Debian is stronger security-wise than any other system. And it also shows how...

Seen in Metro Oceanía, Mexico City, entering line 5.

I usually don’t like me too comments… But this is something that really disappoints me of my otherwise-favorite development framework. I must echo Matt Palmer’s comment on Luke Kanies’ entry: Ruby. Has. A. Distribution. Problem. Nice, good read. Sadly, many Rails pushers see distributability as something very minor, something that should not worry Rails developers right now, as there is too much other serious work to be done - Better UTF8, a clearer language, better performance… And besides, any programmer can live well with gems. (yes, that’s all taken from a rant I had with a very convinced person) My...

Every now and then, I want to understand a bit better English. Today, when Joeyh mentioned nettle soup, I had to ask Wikipedia what a nettle is. And Joey, no wonder it itches… It refers to around 45 species of genus Urtica in the family Urticaceae - In Spanish, of course, urtica is known as ortiga, or as blind person’s herb, as even a blind person will quickly recognize it to touch - Touching it will cause the apt-named urticaria, which Joey seems to have discovered and learnt to fear. At least in Spanish, urticaria is generalized and used to...

Looks like some people actually know the place they occupy in the overall economic system. Was it in Ahuejuote or Canahutli street? Near Ometusco. Pedregal de Santo Domingo, Coyoacán, Mexico City Attachments (319 KB)

Umh… I think some people could use some market-driven creativity? Actually the ale was quite good… But it seems only to reinforce the «Mexicans eat Burritos» meme. Which is false, BTW.
