In English we say “Good morning” (so, we wish a good and nice morning). In Catalan we say “Bon dia”. Literally: “Good day”. It seems that Catalan language is a bit more generous than English language: wishing a whole good day! (not just the morning). But in Spanish… we say “Buenos dias”. So, literally: “Good […] In my recent trip to Morocco I went to some dunes by… dromedary (so, a camel with only one hump). The guide said that usually the dromedaries cannot be driven (guided) like a horse. Actually the typical desert image is a person walking and then camels following the person (there is always one walker). I […] There is a “free software” license called “Beer license” (or beerware). It doesn’t seem to be recognized as a free software license by theOpen Source Initiative. In one of the Mendeley hackdays I did a Calibre plugin. I wanted to release it, so it had to have a license. I thought to release with some […] Fa mesos pensava on anar aquest febrer/març. M’agrada marxar de Londres alguna setmana durant el febrer perquè es fa fosc d’hora, el temps no acompanya massa, etc. (el desembre, en canvi, com que un espera les vacances de Nadal, passa ràpid 🙂 ). Vaig demanar consell a uns amics d’una llista de correu catalana… i […] Sometimes I say to friends: if I appear in your dreams, please let me know. I understand that it’s my friend’s dreams and there are some privacy issues. But at the same time it’s my image appearing there, so maybe I have the right to know what my image is doing in other people’s dreams. […] This year I also went to Fosdem.. It has been my 8th Fosdem, and I keep saying that it is Amazing! It’s the biggest Free Software conference in Europe (more than 5000 attendees). Nice talks, about 20 at the same time, different topics (from distributions to Ada language, from Voice over IP to LibreOffice…). […] Some time ago, in a London Python Code Dojo, I heard about Pythonanywhere.com. I thought that it was interesting but I didn’t visit the webpage or register myself (lack of time, lack of need, whatever). In general speaking I’m a bit reluctant to start depending on more Internet services. I try to use and reuse […] Some time ago I read this book: First of all: I thought that the book would explain how to lose weight eating chocolate (not that I’m interested in losing weight… but I’m interested in eating more chocolate). Sadly, it doesn’t explain this miracle: it explains how to lose weight if you are a chocoholic. […] I like ice-creams. It’s not a surprise because I have a sweet teeth. .. people who know me they usually know. I always think that ice-cream sellers are selling ice-creams… with happiness. Everyone is happy with an ice-cream! It’s hard to see a unhappy person eating an ice-cream. I’m sure that you can find someone, […] This is a human translation of the Catalan version. At Mendeley we did a Web application to edit styles. It’s a complex topic, and we had to create some examples documenting how to use it. We thought if we had to use text or some videos. I prefer text (HTML Web). I prefer it for […] |
