Ok, the time has come: Now I work with my 20” fan on. Lucky me, my office has no windows, it’s in the middle of the building - A bit cold in the Winter, but that’s OK with me… But the people with real windows have been sweating for some weeks already. Well, design details of a 50 year old building which cannot be moved :) Anyway… For people coming to Debconf: Be prepared for hot weather. April-May is Central Mexico’s hottest season. For Mexico City, it means we have reached 30 Celsius, and will probably reach them again a...

…If that is what it would have taken for his mediocre term to be positive for our nation. Today he says that it’s because of the congress that he could not solve the conflict in Chiapas (a deed he promised in his campaign that would take not more than 15 minutes). The congress didn’t vote the correct laws to solve the conflict, it seems. Of course, the promised 15 minutes seemed not to be the time it would take for him to mediate, negotiate and agree with the unhappy indigenous population, but just to sign the needed paper. The Congress...

Joey Hess blogs about possible dangerous ways to exploit the daylight savings time. Well, for the tenth year in a row (if I am not mistaken), we central-Mexicans can proudly announce we are GMT-5. When I was a kid, we were always told that daylight savings are a very important way to save energy in non-tropical areas, such as the North-Western states, USA, Canada and Europe. We understood that, as tropical beings, we didn’t have to worry about that, as it would have neglegible effects for us. Ten years (eleven?) ago, this changed, and we became first-class world citizens, together...

Hi! This is Comas, the conference management system we all know and love! Perhaps you remember me from CONSOL 2004 and 2005, Debconf 5 and 6, CICOL, Seminario Globalización, Conocimiento y Desarrollo or other such great conferences! Well, it is a pleasure for me to announce I am moving. That’s right - My developers have felt too constrained by CVS to keep being merry and productive, and decided to move away from it and to Subversion. If you are tracking my development history, you should have noticed a new file in my base CVS directory, called DONT_USE_THIS_REPOSITORY_ANYMORE. I will reproduce...

Martin: Strange… Here setting up a company is so much of a hassle that most people only register as Persona física con actividad empresarial instead - Physical person with enterprise activity. That means, you can print your invoices with “Madduck Consulting Inc.” if you so wish, as long as under that, in tiny letters, you print your real name and fiscal data.

Several people’s blogs have appeared recently in the planet with the different points of view on the different candidates and various rants regarding the DPL office - Well… This time I have not yet been able even to read the platforms of the different candidates (of course, I plan on doing it quite soon), but I follow the posts on the subject with interest. The most interesting post so far is Martin Michlmayr’s - Of course, being an ex-DPL, there are important experiences he has that few people do. A couple of days ago I was talking with one of...
