Gunnar Wolf - Nice grey life - page 202

Well, after three non-posting weeks, this is my third blog post today! :) Martin: Please remember that not everything is lost on this side of the ocean - Probably, yes, this side of the ocean, this side of the Great Lakes, and that side of the Río Bravo. One of the few things I often cite that still make me very proud of my country is the complete (although slowly, slowly declining, but still quite complete) separation between church and state. In ~130 years, no president or important public figure has publicly stated they even had a religion - Of...

Matt: Please don’t forget you are talking about the language with the “there should be only one way to do it” motto, where you have to “program the way Guido indented it”. I also feel much more at home where I can play with the way my program works and looks like. I like whitespace to be irrelevant - Yes, Python is a nice beast alltogether, but you cannot expect much space for personal preferences once you understand how it was designed. And yes, as a Perl guy I often hate the style some of the modules I maintain are...

A rosary is a string of beads that Catholics use for prayer. There is a very similar apparatus in the Islam, called tasbih - They look like this: Ok, now why is this relevant? Yesterday I was at a meeting with two people who were a couple for a long time, let’s call them he and she. We had a talk along the following lines: Me: Ok, I'll have you the system running on time. Just please remember to bug me every now and then. Torture me if I don't answer you. She: Ok, but you must know I can...

Given my fine coordination, my very high frustration tolereance and the friendliness with which I greet people while busy doing my stuff, this was quite expectable.

As many people have expressed in their blogs after Bubulle’s initial rant, I am also joining the game :) Some weeks ago I decided to finally move my personal documents repository from CVS to SVN - Why SVN? Because I don’t need a distributed system, I am the only person with write (or read) access to it… Besides, I’m too lazy - The one feature that made me start using SVN and not any other system is that you can use it just as if it were CVS, but without the ridiculous constraint placed by just integrating many individual files...

Yes, you can surely tell I am no guru when it comes to describing sounds - maybe that’s because in Spanish every letter has one, or at most two, sounds? Anyway, Christian, that’s the way to say it - The O sometimes sounds a little bit U-ish, in some places you could see this same sound (coming from Náhuatl, Mexico’s main indigenous language) as huaks. The k (in the x) is usually pronounced, but quite soft - sometimes we just refer to the place as “Oastepec”, and nobody gets hurt (or worse, sent to Oaxaca (Huajaka - yes, the X...

I see that plans start getting ready. Bubulle is coming, Wouter is not, and people will soon start getting their plans ready. I am quite excited about it! Of course, I need to devote more time to it, which is hard to me - but I will do it. Oaxtepec rules, you will love the place. I went there again to spend a weekend with Nadezhda - Took some more photos, added them to the album. Debconf guys: Yes, I owe you a full report… It will come. Soon. Promise. Anyway… I’m excited. Debian friends, Mexican interested friends: What are...
