Modularización: Arquitecturas de paquetes al rescate Convirtiendo a la hidra en nuestra aliada En el número 27 de Software Gurú, Agustín Ramos presentó un artículo acerca de estrategias para lograr una modularización efectiva en Java. Varios de los puntos de su artículo me llevaron a dedicar la presente columna a explicar a qué llamamos una distribución de Linux, y cuál es su relación –y la solución que ofrece– a los problemas derivados de la complejidad derivada de la modularización, que bien describió Agustín. Como deben ya saberlo, a diferencia de otros sistemas operativos, el entorno operativo completo al que normalmente...

I have been recently approached by several friends, from different countries. Mexico and the violence seems to be a frequent news topic all over the world. I live in Mexico City, as ~25% of the country’s population does. This is not an easy city, of course, and I won’t deny it has tons of problems of its own. However, Mexico City (and even more so the approximately ⅓ of it that is politically located in Distrito Federal, the formal country capital) is very lucky in this regard. Still, in most of the country, the violence is mostly in the news,...

For the second time (First time was in 2008; I didn’t join in 2009 as I travelled to Nicaragua on that date), I took part of the World Naked Bike Ride.

On June 12 2010 I took part of my second World Naked Bike Ride (the fourth time it is organized in Mexico, IIRC). It was great fun, dare I say with a much better environment (subjectively, of course) than the 2008 edition. According to the policemen that escorted us along the way, we were around 500 people.

Grah. I got my current phone (a Nokia N95) back in January 2008. It was the first phone I ever paid for, and I don’t expect that to change - The feature set I need from a phone is extremely basic, but I wanted to have a GPS unit on me, without needing to plan for it beforehand. As I recently blogged, I just got over the 5000Km mark (5269 as of last Friday), with almost daily usage since I registered. A couple of days ago (although please note I don’t log in often to the web page, I just...
