In June 2009 I moved to London, and shortly afterwards the London Python Code Dojo started (in September). I’ve already written about the Dojo here (in Catalan, see my personal point of view and how it’s organized posts). It’s one of my favourite activities here in London – very rewarding, interesting, etc. We don’t have […] On the The Saturday Walkers’ Club (I mentioned it on another post) I found the London LOOP. The London LOOP is a hike around London. LOOP in this context means London Outer Orbital Path. It’s bout 220 Km. originally in 23 stages but nowadays it’s commonly done in 15 stages -a popular guide book divided […] Some time ago I discovered the webpage The Saturday Walkers’ Club. If I had to design a webpage with hikes it would be very similar to that one: Almost all of them start and finish from train stations There is the GPX route for each hike (the route to copy into the GPS device) Detailed […] In London I’ve been to many performances (music, dance, theatre, musicals, standup, magician, Ukulele extravaganza, etc.). See, for example, another blog post where I talked of Festival of the Spoken Nerd, one of my favourite ones. I thought that I would enjoy anything. I’m not picky: I’ve been to improvised comedy and Shakespeare (once in […] I like taking photos. Not all the time, and I don’t ask all the time my travel-mates to pose for me… but I take photos now and then while travelling. I very rarely delete photos using the camera. If it’s a bad photo (or if I think that it’s not good enough) I take quickly […] Some time ago we had a meeting where two sides of the meeting didn’t understand each other. The topic is not very relevant here as it was a software engineering topic. What I enjoyed the most in the meeting and what amazed me were the analogies used there. They were so good that I even […] In my daily job I develop a desktop application. I work on the full stack of this application: from back-end services (network, sqlite,…) to front-end (buttons, transparencies, etc.) and everything that I need in the middle. Different teams help us. One of them is UX: User eXperience: they think about the whole user experience: what […] In the last entry I talked about Mendeley contributions to the CSL project and I’d like now to explain briefly what the CSL project is. A CSL style is an XML file that follows the specification and it instructs a citation styles engine (e.g. citeproc-js) how to format certain metadata into inline citations and bibliography. […] Everything that I write here on Pintant is my own personal opinion – it’s not my employer’s point of view. As many people here know here I work at Mendeley, in the Desktop team, designing and implementing Mendeley Desktop. Good fun! (seriously!). One of the things that Mendeley Desktop can do and that I usually […] Recently I came back from Fosdem 2014. This has been my 9th Fosdem – and I hope that many more will come! I don’t want to write about what I saw at Fosdem: it took about 5 hours of non-stop work to do a work report (based on the notes that I took there). And […] |
