Where on Mars? and Mendeley documents

As I mentioned in the previous post on a Mendeley hackday we worked with Nicolas Manaud from the project “Where on Mars?” and used CartoDB (and I’ll say once more: CartoDB is very cool).

What did we do? We programmed a Python script (very badly programmed, I am looking at you… the line with an […]

Where on Mars? CartoDB and Mendeley hackday

On the last Mendeley hackday we had an external guest (and Mendeley user): Nicolas Manaud from the project Where on Mars?.

ESA (European Space Agency) will send a rover to Mars. On the webpage “Where on Mars?” it is possible to see areas where the rover might land and visualise the constraints: elevation, latitude (to […]

Git git

Do you know what’s the name of this waterfall?

Its name is Git Git:

And do you know where is it?

In Indonesia (Bali island). It’s just a coincidence that it’s named like the “Git software“. But it seems that Indonesia has many names related to software, like Java.

Favourite Tweets in the last months

After fixing an interesting problem with Mendeley Desktop and Mac Word 2016 plugin I liked how someone said thanks:

Thanks to @MendeleySupport to solve problems I had with Office 2016 for Mac with new version 1.4.1-dev7. Thank you very much, Carles Pina!

Capital Ring finished

Almost a year after finishing the London LOOP (see the post) I’ve now finished the Capital Ring!

Capital Ring is a hike around London, usually about 10 miles (16 Km) far away from Trafalgar Square. Easy to reach by public transport, stages are about 10 Km each. Quite flat sadly.

My resources were:

PyCon UK 2015: very good again

A few weeks ago I went to the PyCon UK, in Coventry. I enjoyed the conference very much again! It was my third year.

Like the last 2 years: it was on my birthday. And now I’m really used to it and I’ll miss not being on my birthday next year. First year that I […]

Crowdcube: Mind the Byte

Un company de confiança d’una llista fa anys que va crear Mind the Byte. És un projecte interessant tot i que jo no estic posat al món del «Drug discovery».

Ara està fent una ronda d’inversió utilitzant Crowdcube el qual no coneixia i em sembla una manera realment interessant d’aconseguir inversors de forma fàcil per […]

How to use Python from Java

I did use Python from Java without any problems:

The steps for this in my case (you can take shortcuts):

Plane from London (United Kingdom) to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) Plane from Kuala Lumpur to Denpassar (Bali> Car from Ubud to Java island Program normally

I didn’t find any problem. I tried using Python from […]

Java: Mt. Bromo, Ijen Crater, Madakaripura Waterfall

The holidays in Indonesia were quite easy to plan: I wanted to see Mt. Bromo and the friends wanted to go to Bali (me too). And it seemed natural for what I found on the Internet to end up in Yogyakarta: it seemed one of the cities in Java that was worth staying for a […]

One of the best guides in Bali: Yandira

Summary: I found a very good guide in Bali (sadly I found him on the fourth day that I was there). His name is Yandira, yandira77@yahoo.com, +628123982871, http://www.uniqubalitours.webs.com. Next time I’ll plan to go to Bali: the first thing I’ll do will be to email him to plan what to see, when, transport and even […]
