We like showing our friends around UNAM. Not only it’s where I work, but it’s a great and beautiful university. And it’s only a block away from home! Some photos from UNAM

The following text is not mine. I’m copy-translating a text a dear friend of mine just wrote in Spanish, in Facebook. He writes far better than I do (much better than most people I have known). I am not also a great translator. If you can read Spanish, go read the original. I hate my country. I want to get the hell out of here. This country stinks. Phrases that appear in talks between Mexicans since yesterday. On the network and outside of it. And to tell the truth, I would have put them between quotation marks if I had...

Last Wednesday I had the pleasure and honor to have a great guest again at my class: José María Serralde, talking about real time scheduling. I like inviting different people to present interesting topics to my students a couple of times each semester, and I was very happy to have Chema come again. Chema is a professional musician (formally, a pianist, although he has far more skills than what a title would confer to him — Skills that go way beyond just music), and he had to learn the details on scheduling due to errors that appear when recording and...

Petter posted yesterday about Listadmin, the quick way to moderate mailman lists. Petter: THANKS. I am a fan of automatization. But, yes, I had never thouguht of doing this. Why? Don’t know. But this is way easier than using the Web interface for Mailman: $ listadmin fetching data for conoc_des@my.example.org ... nothing in queue fetching data for des_polit_pub@my.example.org ... nothing in queue fetching data for econ_apl@my.example.org ... nothing in queue fetching data for educ_ciencia_tec@my.example.org ... nothing in queue fetching data for est_hacend_sec_pub@my.example.org ...

Two days ago, Drupal announced version 7.32 was available. This version fixes a particularly nasty bug, allowing a SQL injection at any stage of interaction (that means, previous to the authentication taking place). As soon as I could, I prepared and uploaded Debian packages for this — So if you run a Debian-provided Drupal installation, update now. The updated versions are: sid / jessie (unstable / testing) 7.32-1 wheezy (stable) 7.14-2+deb7u7 wheezy-backports 7.32-1~bpo70+1 squeeze-backports (oldstable) 7.14-2+deb7u7~bpo60+1 And, as expected, I’m already getting several attacks on my sites. Good thing that will help you anyway: Even though it won’t prevent the...
