I am about to give a presentation in Tacna, Perú, at the VI SIIS, Universidad Nacional Jorge Basadre Grohmann. What is different this time? That I am waiting for the conference to start, sitting in my nice workplace at IIEc-UNAM. Yes, I was supposed to go and talk there (and was quite excited to go to the I ConclaDeb at Arequipa last week). Anyway, why cancel my talk, having the technical means to carry it out? Less than five minutes from now we will start. There is only one thing I regret: As a complete multimedia neophyte, I could not...

I have found visual evidence that the Pacman xscreensaver hack levels are produced by random and, contrary to what many people say, were not simply copied off the console. Atari’s good soul must thank ${DEITY} that this didn’t happen to a human player! Still, it was funny watching this game, mainly as Pacman’s speed is roughly 10% faster than the ghosts’, and he cannot just stand still.

Thanks to Algernon, I also discovered my true Perl name: ‘’=~(‘(?{‘.(‘^/@@[}’^’.])./]’).’”’.(‘:^@@]/}}/,;_’^’}+..<]]*@@]}’).’,$/})’) Isn’t it crystal-clear? …Seems I’ll have to repeate Algernon’s hint: Perl, enter, paste, Ctrl-D.

Note: When reading this entry, please set your date to 2005-11-10. Delays in the system prevented me from posting this earlier. I have lived together with Nadezhda for almost ten years - And this month (on November 1st, to be precise), it is ten years we first met on one of the few BBSes we had in Mexico by then - Thanks a lot, Mag, for setting it up - you changed my life in more ways I’d ever have thought! Over the time, of course, our relation has changed a lot - the first step was telling to other...

So it seems I cannot uphold my word - Well, yes, it was because of the trouble it would represent to the fine Moquegua guys - But anyway, I ended up accepting the invitation practically at the last minute, and went to Moquegua, Perú, probably for my life’s most tiresome journey. Saturday, after lunch, we headed for the airport. I left Mexico at 17:30, and arrived five hours later in the Lima airport. Thanks to Antonio, José and Laura, who picked me up at 23:30 and arranged me a room in a hotel. I met the DebianPeru crowd, a very...

Ok, so I have my Mac Mini ready to overtake my old PC as my home server/gateway/whatnot. Before anything, I must thank Filip for his warning - I had left 3GB at the end of the disk to set up MacOS - Just for fun, just to play with it, maybe even to use the Mac On Linux trick. Anyway, if I want to do anything with MacOS, I can use Nadezhda’s G5 imac… And it is not sane to have a server’s interface to the world rely on a stack of two (cooperating, but still…) OSs. I’ll just stick...

This is by far the most stressful long period I can remember in my life. I was quite in control of things approximately until around June. Since then, things have been falling over me in a quick and heavy sucession - First of all, being co-organizer at Debconf was quite hard. I had run conferences before, but nothing ever like this - And, I should add, I never had a German boss running the show. [friend=”Stockholm”], as a project leader, you really rule… But whoever works with you should be warned: It is not easy. Gunnar’s Rule of Future Life...

Nice one, Mike! I would have liked to end up being more humane, though ;-) Much More Scientific You have: 77% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and 47% EMOTIONAL INTUITION The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored about average on emotional intuition and well above average on scientific intuition.Keep in mind that very few people score high on both! In effect, you can compare your two intuition scores with each other to learn what kind of intuition you're best at. Your scientific intuition is stronger than your emotional intuition. Your Emotional Intuition score...
