Hi folks!
It’s been a while since last time we talked. It’s been a weird time (July/August).
On July I didn’t have to study because I had passed all the February exams on the first attempt (first time ever) so, I went to the beach with my girlfriend (Beth) a few days. We stayed at Calafell because my parents had rented an apartment there. Unlucky for me, when I came back, something strange happened to me: I got up with two fingers swollen… Out of the blue! Well, it may be a… Dunno. Just let it go.
I started to work at home (I wanted to work but finally I didn’t get any job due to exams and so on, therefore my father gave me some work, proceeding from his company, which I could do at home). I had to test 25.000 small pieces, manually. It meant I had to manipulate them with the fingers mentioned above. Well, it hurt but it was bearable.
But then, when I got up the next day… I couldn’t walk! It was a nightmare! I couldn’t even stay standing. It seemed my left ankle had decided to hurt a lot even though it wasn’t swollen (like my fingers). Ibuprofeno… It didn’t work. I went to the ward but the doctor told me to go ahead taking ibuprofeno (it’s a sedative medicine). Well, he was the specialist so he was supposed to know what was going on. I started to be able to walk and I went to the beach so that I could enjoy the sea a little bit. Bad choice! The next day, I had my ankle swollen and I couldn’t walk again. I went to the doctor because it wasn’t normal. He was clear: urine and blood test to determine what could be making this inflammations, maybe it wasn’t as superficial as he thought first.

I’m posting too many humor posts lately, I hope it will end once I’m back studying at University. Either way, this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen about programming! I have an ace up one’s sleeve, keep coming ;)!

I’m sure a lot of developers will enjoy this video

It was dark, raining cats and dogs. It was the time. It was now or never… He has no option. He looked back and stared, easy, at Redmon. He couldn’t stifle a tear, it was so hard after so many years… But he had already taken the decision. He can’t feel anything but sorry for his people. As a matter of fact, he was sure they were going to find another one, better than him, stronger, faster, more reliable. Nevertheless, even though he knew that, it still hurt. He didn’t want to leave… But he had to, he was no longer doing any good there. He had to leave, and the sooner, the better. He crossed the street and stopped by at the bar where he had always met with his friends, MAC and so on. He sighed, and went ahead. He started remembering while walking…

Once, he was the only option.
Once, all the people wanted him.
Once, he was, by far, the best.
Once…

A car tooted the horn and almost hit Windows Vista. He cursed all the insane drivers, but it didn’t matter. It wasn’t about a car, a driver… He was tired, he couldn’t stand this any more. It was being too much for him. At the beginning, nobody could have imagined it was going to go so far, nobody could have imagined that GNU was going to be a threat to Windows, much less in Vista. But this is technology and what’s good today, is probably bad tomorrow. He arrived at his destination. He started formatting himself (he couldn’t be discovered. It was the first and the most important rule: his code must remain secret, always. No exceptions). When he had almost being converted to NULL positions, he managed to finish with his pain, finally. Nobody will never be able to programme him again, he didn’t worth it. Free software had win the battle and now, another era was coming and there was no place for him.

Goodbye, and good luck, Microsoft

Which is the definition of “que cojones” in English? Why do Spanish people use this idiom so regularly and naturally? Let’s analyze it.

From the desk of Samy,

I never, ever would have imagined that I would write the following text! It turned out I was taking a look at my blog stats when I came across this…

Definition of "que cojones" in English

I think all Spanish people will agree with me that this is, at least, funny funny funny! I’ll try to explain what this means, it’s not easy though!
First of all you must place yourself: this is a Spanish idiom, indeed, a very informal and vulgar one. In Spain, don’t wonder why, there are one type of men: they are machos ibericos. The translation would be males but it doesn’t have the same meaning at all.
These machos are men who likes to talk very rude and act very masculine. And the more hair you have, the better and if you drink a lot of beer as well, you could be the machos ibericos’ god.

I’ve been away for personal (medical) reasons and I’m leaving tomorrow till 20th so I wanted to update the blog with a funny post. I’m pretty sure that most of the engineers will take it personally… ^__^

I hope it will make you smile as it did to me. Sometimes we complain that we are called freaks/geeks… But sometimes we must admit that’s true!

Have a good holidays and enjoy it!

Which hosting is better? Which is worth more? 000webhost (free/upgrades) or dreamhost? a bit analyze of each one:

From the desk of Samy,
Some months ago, I started to search for some free hosting so that I could host my wordpress blog. I was tired of the non-free wordpress.com blog. So, my requirements were a few but important: I didn’t want ads of any kind and I need (or, at least, I wanted) a good bandwidth. I found 000webhost. It’s free, it has a good bandwitdh (100GB/mth) and it doesn’t have ads of any kind, as I wanted. The whole list of features is available here. It was the best I found so, my blog is in 000webhost. Did I like it? Kind of. What’s kind of? Sometimes, my blog was unavailable due to server causes. The first time that my blog was down was OK, but I didn’t like it much. After 5 or 6 months with 000webhost I’ve had some downtime’s problems, but the blog is alive and I think that, in this field, 000webhost is good (remember that it’s free). I hosted another website here: my own security system, running in my room PC, with scripts created by Aitor[thank you, Aitor;)] (I only modified them a bit because I needed to adapt them to my computer and necessities, of course).
However, when I started to design and to develop my own website, which will include a database (mysql), some firefox plugins (XUL. BTW, I haven’t the foggiest about programming in XUL… But I’ll learn it :D), among others, 000webhost wasn’t the best option. Why?

I thought I had already told you some other changes that I did to the blog but after reviewing my latest posts… I didn’t.
I was surfing the net when I came across some blogs that had changed its comments and instead of reading X comments they had personalised it. I thought it was a good idea so I change a little bit the code and now instead of X comments you will see 1 geek comment or X geeks comments. A bit of funny… hehehe

And BTW, my banner designer is on holidays and I dunno when he’s gonna come back so, I’ve got my banner ready but it doesn’t fit well… And if I resize it, the quality will dissapear… So, I’ve got a banner a bit awkward…

Recently, I only post humour sketches and so on: I don’t have too much time because I’m not at home and I think this is the best way to keep this blog alive. Short and funny posts in order to maintain daily visits.

Anyway, I’ve come across this cartoon and I’m sure that no girl would want to meet this kind of boy ever…
