I've bought a toshiba satellite laptop, today I found a nice software to lower the bright in the lcd, my eyes were red all the week because the hard brightness of the lcd. The software is: fnfx

This week I also finished to configure the toshiba, all the hardware works smoothly in linux, tomorrow I hope to buy a bag more big to keep safe my laptop.

This week linuxpuebla had two reunions, the first we have a lot of fellows, five of they, were from my school, they want to learn a lot of linux. We talk a lot to get new ways for the group, and the second reunion mauricio give us a presentation about wireless networks.

This week I'd spend more time developing old programs, one is the eternal db for my school, I have a lot of ideas about the implementation of tristan, I must write it, before they fly. I want to start tristan, but I see this could spend more time, I think I'll write a README starting with: "I hope you could forgive me for write this software so fasten and so big, this spaguetti code'.

I'm starting re-learning python, I learn a few about three years ago, but never keep programming, I felt more comfortable using java; now I'm learning because everybody it's talking about =).

A couple of conferences the two next weeks, I don't have anything done =(.

Yeah, it was a lot of time since I was posting here, I back to school one month ago, yesterday was my girlfriend's birthday, we ate pizza and I bought a couple of books, one of Mario Puzo, The Sicilian, and the other of Isaac Asimov, a recopilation of short stories.

I don't know what to do the next week, I must attend a congress, but I don't have where to stay, I will be only a couple of days.

I will meet again with my friend olea

I'm proud of my work in this week with a nice school project, simulating a perceptron, here you can see an image, I'll make some changes to look better this weekend, I will release the code in the next week (In the remotely case my friends could download the code to show as his project ;-) ).

Listening the pillows

I've joined to orkut, you can add me as friend if you like (my nick is the same, danguer =) ).

I'll prepare cofee, see you later =).

New year!

This weekend is the last vacation time I will have; the next monday I'll return to school, but in fact I'll return until tuesday, I have to attend some 'familiar bussines'

Today I was playing with svg and xslt, the next weekend I will give a small course about both, I made simple examples transforming a tree to his visual representation; I have to change some things like calculate the size of the font to fill the circle, and also calculate the total of 'depth', to calculate the size of the page (I really don't know if xslt could count do it, but I think it does =D).

Happy hackings!

The XML source, the XSLT StyleSheet, and the result SVG document, with a jpeg screenshot in my computer (I hope return soon to my mac =) ).

Anjuta is not working, needs a lot of libraries :-S, I'm looking for new code editors =(

Mono at least could be compiled, I haven't tested the mcs compiler; I should test it compiling Gtk#; the PPC porting for the jit it's seem to be finished soon, I hope it =).

In two weeks we are going to teach how to install linux to 'fresh' people in my faculty, I will finish the information page tomorrow.

VTK for mac is now working, I don't know if there's a version for java =S

Streamload now gives me 10 gb for $10, that's really cool, but I have 25 gb waiting for burning in the school; today I put to perseo my hd, but I can't copy anything because it was in NTFS format =((, I must re-install to a vfat partition; and burning (I haven't try if my cd writer works in linux, I think that it does)

I've back from 5 days in Veracruz, attending the gulev, I meet some linux dudes of my country :-).

I got a lot of ideas; and a lot of relax ;-) (except the last day in the hotel; because the hotel make a mistake, and they think we arrived one day before our reservation was made... we lost about 6 hours giving explanations).

Checking my mail, I don't get much mail, that's a good sign =)

I'm listening blues, the blues is really cool =)

perseo still down, a friend told me I have to fill a report (yeah, that sounds like burocracy); tomorrow I hope to see what's happening.

Some of homework, I will try to make an example in vtk, try to simulate sorting boxes in a trailer's box.

I want to have more bandwidth, I think I sould contract ADSL service; I will talk tomorrow; I must "work for bandwidth" :-S

Reading about x11 programming

Getwell is working; I must focus now to get the interface working; I downloaded Gtk# for windows, but I nedded the libintl, so I must downloaded; now I downloading linux apps for mac with fink.

Why anjuta isn't in the fink tree?, I don't know the last time I use anjuta I have to modify the source, because an instruction looks like a bug

The tuesday at 0:00 (and celebrating the independence of my country), I will travel to other city to give a conference about Darwin

Listening a lot of the Cure, I format again the Mac, I must install yaboot later.

Yesterday I went to drink some beer and listening music

I'm learning vtk, I must make a simple arrengement of some boxes in the 3d space.

Qt finished compiling in my mac after mhh, 8 hours? :-S

I was learning by example, making weirds changes to the fire application in the Project Builder on Mac Os X =D

x11 terminal in XDarwin appears to don't use the keyboard settings; and the modmap it wasn't working good so I use my last xmodmap which works fine.

I'm hungry :-S

Perseo is down since last week; I don't know why, a trouble in the routers I think; also the home page of my faculty: http://www.cs.buap.mx. I hope could be solved fastly :-S

I'm going to looking something to eat =D
