Different tastes

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 […]

Delete photos on the way

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 […]

Analogies in a meeting

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 […]

I don’t like hardware

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:

Share your dreams

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.

Ice-cream seller: distributing happiness

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, […]

Vídeo tutorial o texte?

A Mendeley vàrem fer una aplicació Web per editar estils. El tema és complex, i cal documentació amb exemples i com fer-ho servir.

Ens plantejàvem si hauríem de fer text o bé vídeo. Jo prefereixo text (web amb HTML), tan per qui ho fa com per qui ho utilitza (clar, en general!).

Bon 2012 -any Alan Turing

Espero que tothom passi bon 2012!

Enguany és l’any del centenari del naixement de l’Alan Turing http://www.turingcentenary.eu/. Farà 100 anys del seu naixement el 23 de juny.

Recomano, i ja ho vaig fer, visitar Bletchley Park (a uns 80 Km. al nord-est de Londres). L’altra entrada al blog és del 2009, ara ja hi he […]

Retard per enviar emails

No sé si li ha passat a molta gent o no: vols enviar un email a algú i li envies a algú altre. O vols enviar-lo a algú d’una llista i l’envies a la llista sencera. Si teniu algun cas divertit el podeu comentar sense problemes.

Una vegada que tinc molt present: volia enviar un […]

Què faig a la feina/afició?

Primera comparació: Dr. Dolittle

Fa un parell d’anys, amb la meva cosina, vàrem mirar la pel·lícula Dr. Dolittle. Bé, potser era la segona part però el principi és el mateix: l’actor principal parla amb els animals, i els animals li contesten

Jo li vaig dir a la meva cosina, que llavors devia tenir 5 o […]
