Time to get more social. No, not jumping to Facebook. Or to Twitter. But I’ve been moving some code from my “private”, or a at least, not very public, Git repositories (http://git.pinux.info/) to my Github account (https://github.com/cpina?tab=repositories). I’ve been using github as a collaborator for some projects and I thought that was time to move […] We usually say “Good morning”, “good night”, “Happy New Year!”, or “have a nice weekend!”. We say this to wish a nice morning, night, year or weekend. But I think that we are missing some other important time units: weeks and months. I advocate that we should also say “good week” (on Mondays) and “good […] On the last couple of entries I wrote about waiters. I remembered about something that I sometimes think… why some word is that word? Why a “waiter” is called a waiter? My guess is that because they wait. They wait that someone orders something, they wait for the kitchen to finish something, etc. And a […] I usually go everywhere with my backpack. Mainly everyday, since 2006, with the same backpack (a Targus one. Last year it got broken -my bad- and I bought the same model). When, for some reason, I don’t carry the backpack, I always miss something that I have there (the bottle of water, USB Stick, a […] Some weeks ago I went to a French grill nice restaurant. Nice as good food, service, etc. In the City of London. It was a cold Sunday, 1pm, so the restaurant was empty. Later one it was quite full, and I guess that on the working days is completely full (lunch meetings and so on). […] One year ago I changed the server where Pintant is hosted. Previously it was hosted in a domestic ADSL server, now it’s in a Gandi VPS server. The server handles Pintant, some other Webs for my family, email, etc. Nothing very exciting and the email bit is the important one. Before it was in the […] In Catalan we call “centpeus” (100 feet) to that animal that has many legs (similar to a caterpillar). On the Wikipedia I can see that it’s also called “one hundred legs” (not feet). I like how it sounds in French: “mille-pattes” (pronunced as /milpat/). Means 1000 legs (hey, more than in Spanish or Catalan). But […] In Catalonia we have one saying “eat stalk raisin” (“menja cues de pansa”). We say it when someone forgets something. I know that in Alicante zone they say “tienes que comer más pescado” (“you must eat more fish”). And in Morocco they say “eat more liver” (see the Morocco entry, Mustapha is who said so). […] When I was younger (or… just young 🙂 ) I used to play with hardware. I liked to get old broken computers, fix them, improve them, upgrade them… After a while I stopped liking hardware (and I prefer software, programming, etc.). My reasons are: […] At Mendeley we do one hackday a month. It’s very cool: we do what we want (vaguely related to Mendeley) to experiment with new technologies, approaches. Free thinking! During 2 or 3 hackdays i started doing a Calibre plugin to import Mendeley documents into Calibre. And then from Calibre to your ebook… in just one […] |
