Just a quick link: if you are learning a language you might be interested in Read Lang webpage. Steve Ridout, an ex-Mendeleyan, is building it and making very good progress.
I could explain things here but it’s easier if you go and have a look. It will especially help you to read and understand texts, […]
Some time ago I went to the Qt Developer Days 2013 (Berlin).
I could write many things about that conference. For instance, George and I wrote about 5 pages to report back to our team with the summary of different talks and so on.
But here I just want to mention: one of the keynotes […]
Last month I went to the Python UK Conference 2013, in Coventry. It was a very interesting conference! It was my first time there. It’s a conference where the delegates really help organize it with talks, chairing sessions, etc. (all voluntarily).
I learned quite a lot: about Python and software engineering in general. Many talks […]
Bernadette song: The Big Bang Theory
This is one of the top-10 moments of The Big Bang Theory:
I liked the lyrics, the singing… everything!
And after this song I had to go and listen to some of the songs of Helen Arney, such as:
As you might know I like Festival of […]
Two months ago I went to Scarborough. Nice time to finally see someone from Scarborough Linux User Group: Catux and Scarborough group are “sister LUGS”.
We used to chat in the Catux mailing list in 2005 and 2006. 8 years later we met eachother. Amazing!
On the way there one of the trains got delayed […]

See the official job description, but bear in mind that we […]
At Mendeley we have one hackday a month. One day, every month, we can do whatever we want more or less related to our jobs, technologies, etc.
Some months ago I thought that it could be interesting to teach Python to the non-programmers (business, HR, etc.). I wanted them to understand what we do all […]
Short version: Sunday Assembly (congregation without God) is crowdfunding to build a better website / other activites. You can donate.
In London I’ve been to different ceremonies: Catholic, Orthodox, Christian, Budhist, Protestant, etc. I like to see the churches/temples, how they conduct the ceremony, their traditions, how attendants behave, etc.
In one of my visits […]
I’ve been using my e-reader (Kobo Glo) for aproximately one year now.. I’m very happy with the purchase! I find it very convenient, I explained in the other post (in Catalan).
There is one thing that I’ll miss if everybody uses e-readers. I really like to browse book shelves when I’m invited to someone’s house. […]
