In an amazing but meaningless feat of synchronicity, Toxicore’s post led me to check how much distance have I done while excercising – I have mainly done this cycling, although some running also comes into play. Turns out I was just about to break the same mark he did. From my Nokia Sportstracker records: Before breaking the 5000 Km mark, yesterday at noon: After breaking the 5000 Km mark, yesterday at night: So, following Bubulle’s style… If I have done 5000 Km since January 2008, when do you think I should reach 5500? 6000? 7000? Infinity and beyond? Attachments Screenshot-post.png...

Sometimes dinner turns out just the way you want it. Or even better. This time it was very quick to prepare, and very satisfying. What was it? Just throw in the following ingredients in your favorite wok, in this order. No, don’t ask me about quantities - What seems right should be right. You will be happy. Olive oil (~2tbsp)Four garlic cloves, finely choppedSome coriander (cilantro)About two inches of a leek (poro) headTwo dry chiles anchos, cut in small bitsOne leaf of hoja santaOne fish fillet (I used basa, but I know very little about fish)~300g of setas mushroomsA bit...

Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death, the mythological Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Mexico’s de facto president, Felipe Calderón, once again showed his involuntary aptitude for deep political analysis: On Monday, on a State visit to Germany, he declared Mexico has faced the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse (second source, in English). I agree: One year ago, we were facing a health emergency, the AH1N1 epidemic, hence pestilence. Since he took power in December 2006, the president’s main action has been the war on drugs, hence war. The country was the worst performing Latin American country in 2009, with our economy...

I bought my current cell phone in mid January 2008, which means I have had it for ~830 days. I tend not to lose sight of the few things I keep on me at all times - Keys, wallet and cell phone. In this 830 day period, I doubt I have forgotten my phone for more than three days. Ok, lets just add some extra five days, for times I have travelled without the phone charger, resulting in me not having a phone available. So, eight days out of 830 gives us that the probability for me accidentally not having...

Say, just where in the Gaussian would you be if you found Nessie?

Once again, I was invited by several different groups to be present at FLISOL, a quite interesting phenomenon: FLISOL (Latin-american Free Software Installation Festival) is s very large-scale, very loosely coordinated thing put together for five years already in over 200 cities in basically every Latin American country. Go to the FLISOL page, it is quite interesting to try to understand it! Now, I don’t like FLISOL. I managed to avoid it in 2005 and 2006; in 2007, I was present at a FLISOL, although I didn’t know beforehand it was the reason for the conference I was invited to....

The 2010 Debian Project Leader election is over! (but the page is not yet updated – Try here… Thanks to Steve McIntyre for two long years of good work And, of course, congratulations to Stefano Zacchirioli! I, for one, welcome our new Italian overlord.

My blog is written in English, even though I sometimes post content relevant locally. Anyway, I want this to be as widely known as possible. We are about to launch a website/community for my University’s cyclists, BiciUNAMonos. Please note the site I’m linking is still very preliminary in several ways. But that’s the least relevant for now. I am translating here a message written by fellow cyclist (and researcher in the Institute of Astronomy of my University) Sergio Mendoza. Regarding the fatal cycling accident in Ciudad Universitaria Yesterday night I got home, and was quite surprised to open my mailbox...
