I have been asked to write the Linux column for Mexico’s version of PCMagazine - Definitifely not a deep technical publication, but a magazine that reaches thousands of readers every month - And I have a couple of things to tell them. I hope I can make good use of this space they trusted me. Well, I have been struggling a couple of days with my first article. The title? Bringing security to your network with Linux. A simple topic, specially if it is targeted at relatively newbies - But the requirements had baffled me: 7000 words?! Hell, that’s much...

I have been phasing out my gwolf.cx addresses over the last year in favor of gwolf.org - It is now official: gwolf.cx will die soon. Please update.

Yesterday was hellish. Apache might be the Free Software most notorious project. mod_perl is one of the best things that could happen both to the Perl and Apache communities. Apache2 is the largest Apache milestone, a major rewrite, and was declared golden almost three years ago. mod_perl, as it wraps the Apache C API and offers it to Perl, was expected to take some time to adapt to the new API and idiosincracy of this major version… Anyway, on to my life. I had some work to do on two systems I developed using mod_perl - the Comas one for...

That’d be the most plausible option… I could not explain it otherwise. There seems to be justice in this world. About two weeks ago, I broke my piggy-bank and, in one of the purest and most selfless acts I have ever had, bought an iMac for Nadezhda. She is, of course, delighted - and I’d have considered it as enough payment. This weekend, I got my father’s birthday present - Well, he’s not in Mexico right now, but he left me clear indications to get it: A very nice Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S80 camera. Yup guys, that means I will not...

Ok, so the word is out: Telmex is upgrading the DSL lines! This would mean I am about to get 1Mbps instead of the current 512Kbps I get at home - But it means I’ll save some money, as I will downgrade to the new entry-level 512K. I don’t need more at home. Ok, this should make me quite happy - Right now, it is making me miserable. I am in the middle of a large download, and Telmex is playing with the circuits… So I get a nice 52KBps burst that lasts for a minute or two, then it...

Up until today, I had never thought we had to stay on topic in Planet Debian. All those messages regarding Ian’s postings made me quite sour - and quite surprised. Scott, have you ever received a complaint regarding my Mexican political rantings? I doubt so. No, this is not a message against anyone… But, seriously, what could have made 80 people get pissed at Progeny’s stuff given we all share what we think as important in here? Isn’t Progeny important for many DDs? And even if it wasn’t, does it harm anybody to see it there?
