Went with Regina to Rosario, Argentina, to meet with Esteban and Federico (co-workers from the LATIn Project). Had a very nice couple of days there! Some pictures to prove it…

Este año que va terminando tuvo una buena cantidad de sorpresas y de temas prevalentes con que podremos caracterizarlo al referirnos a él en el futuro. Pero muchos estarán de acuerdo en que si tuviéramos que elegir un solo tema que revele los cambios de percepción (y los resultantes cambios conductuales de la población toda), en particular en nuestra área de ocupación, muy probablemente será todo lo que se ha escrito y debatido alrededor de las filtraciones de Snowden. La confirmación de que la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional (NSA) de los Estados Unidos lleva a cabo un espionaje profundo y...

(Yes, yes… Maybe I should post in Spanish.. But hey, gotta keep consistecy in my blog!) General, public, open invitation Are you in Mexico City, or do you plan to be next Wednesday (December 11)? Are you interested in video edition? In Free Software? I will have the pleasure to host at home the great Chema Serralde, a good friend, and a multifacetic guru both in the technical and musical areas. He will present a workshop: Video editing from the command line. I asked Chema for an outline of his talk, but given he is a busy guy, I will...

Blogging from a phone… first time ever. I don’t want to forget some specifics for this :) I have just completed an exam to try to enter a postgraduate program (I’ll talk more about it once it becomes real ). The exam is administered by CENEVAL, the same evaluation agency Where I presented my graduation equivalency exam some years ago - Only this exam is for all of the postgraduate studies on many national universities and is thus basically just a psychometric test. The exam had 162 questions, all to be filled in a optical reader sheet, on five subjects:...

This year, I had slowly taken again running. It’s an activity I enjoy, even though I’m far from the condition I had when I did it every day — My maximum was running about 8Km four days a week (ocassionally up to 15Km, say, on weekends)… But I slowly drifted out of it over the last three years. Yes, I have taken it up now and then, but dropped out again after a few weeks. Well, this year it felt I was getting back in the routine. Not without some gaps, but I had ran most weeks since July at...

I’m very happy: I was finally able to present a talk at a Free Software conference in Paraná, Argentina — Regina’s hometown. Not only in Paraná, but at the Vieja Usina culture center, half a block away from her parents’ house. So, I must doubly thank Laura: First, for letting us know there would be a Free Software conference there, and second, for taking some pictures :-} What was this conference? Conferencia Regional de Software Libre, organized by Grupo de Usuarios de GNU/Linux de Entre Ríos (GUGLER). Of course, flying to Argentina (and more specifically, to Paraná, which is ~500Km...
