I’d love to joyfully join the hordes and post my ticket data here… As that would surely mean I don’t have to worry about lots of stuff we are preparing right now ;-) Many people have blogged in planet.debian.org their travel details - This post is just to ask you: Please don’t forget to update your personal information in our system, so we can work on the logistics on how to properly receive and arrange you. Your arrival/departure data is available to other registered Debconf attendees - If you want to change that, just activate the Keep travel data privateoption...

In late October, when I joined the obesity and sedentarism treatment in UNAM’s “Dirección de Medicina del Deporte”, I weighed 135 kilos. It had been years since I had done any kind of sport activities. Today, I weigh 116 kilos, and I have one hour of exercising every day. I’m really happy - There is still much work to do, but this time I’m really looking forward to it. Comments Mauricio 2006-02-07 12:26:34 Re: Almost 20! Excellent news!

It took me a long time to upgrade my blog (powered by Jaws) from version 0.4 to 0.5, which has been available since last May. Well, two days ago Pablo announced Jaws 0.6 stable released. and… Well, I didn’t want to be running such old code in my blog, so it’s updated. It mostly works with little tweaking - I just want to edit the theme a bit so I’m no longer that generic, check some links, and… Well, I hope the Jaws upgrade doesn’t flood the planets with my old posts (but still keeps me syndicated ;-) ). Go...

Yesterday, the right-wing PAN candidate for the presidency of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, made a declaration that shadows the current president, Vicente Fox (from his same political party) almost look like a genuine statesman. (some links, La Jornada, El Universal) - And that’s no easy feat, given that Mr. Fox is -so far- the nation’s most prolific president… When it comes to stupid sayings. How come Calderón rose so quickly to become a statesman? Let me first go through a bit of history. Not much, promise. Well, I’ll do my best. Twelve years and one month ago, Mexicans woke up with...

Over one month ago, I truly hoped an evasive network misbehavior issue was solved. In the institute, we had a strange situation which caused a (seemingly random) stack of switches to go out to lunch and leave one of the floors without network access until it decided to restore itself (usually power-cycling it was not enough). The equipment, ten 4200 SuperStack switches, is new, we got it ~September, so I expected 3Com to give me at least some support on the issue. The behavior was apparently random, and I could not track it down, only (thanks to the very nice...

Tolimar, liw: Just to give an extra bit of ease, I know Alvaro Lopez, one of the talk’s proponents. I am to some extent an instigator for this talk - Alvaro is definitively a Free Software guy. I know him for several years already. He has been as careful as possible, and told me about his frustration when the whole Nexenta mess erupted. As far as I can say, the cooperation intentions are as serious as you can expect from such a beast as Sun is - I cannot judge more, and I won’t say more in this regard. I...

Edd Dumbill writes from time to time about hinting or using the right fonts so they look nicer - At the first glance, I found three such articles in ~six weeks. I don’t know if I’m too atypical in this area as well… But for most of my work, I prefer fonts not to be beautified by antialiasing. Strangely, it seems to depend on which program (or, maybe, activity) I am working - I have no grudge against antialiasing in a web browser, but I swear to God that if you antialias my emacs or my xterms, I will hate...

David: You are suffering it now. You suffered from it before (sorry, cannot find the link) with your previous machine. Macs are sexy - But they are not meant to be yours. (Personally, and I hope not to spill any salt by doing this, I am completely satisfied with my iMac G5 and my Mac Mini - Fashion objects and quite expensive, but reliable, quiet and great looking) Give up. You deserve a brand that does not hate you.

For many years already (probably since I have been a productive member of the society, or at least pretended so), I have been an early riser, unlike most people in the community. Today, I seldom stay awake after 12AM, and wake up shortly before 7. Some months ago, I think I was an hour or two more sleepful, but since I picked up morning excercise… Well :) But it worries me to see <a href=”“http://blog.andrew.net.au/2006/01/04#sleep>people</a> in Debian following a trend to change for this more human-like lifestyle - I interact with many Europeans, and it’s nice for me to have...
