It’s been 3 years since I started working for FieldAware, a Dublin based company. During this time I’ve been travelling quite often to the Irish capital. So, If you are planning to visit Dublin, this is a small guide with tips and places I liked… Mostly food & drinks, I know :D. Arrival You’ll probably arrive to the airport. T1 if you are travelling with Ryanair, T2 if you are travelling with AerLingus....

Hoy, 1 de Diciembre, se celebra el día mundial de la lucha contra el SIDA. Hace un mes uno de mis amigos dio positivo en VIH. La noticia le cayó como un jarro de agua fría. Cuando me lo contó pensaba que su vida se había acabado para él. Intentando tranquilizarle me di cuenta de que si yo estuviera en su lugar estaría acojonado. Y no por nada en especial, si no que apenas sabía nada de la enfermedad y solo tenía dudas....

A friend from London brought me an Watch 12 days ago. I’ve been using it since day one and I have to admit I like it more than I expected. I’m not gonna do a full review of the device, but rather I’d like to comment on some details that surprised me. Model It’s been a while since I last wore a watch and I was afraid it would be too big for me....

Java is a great language, but if you have ever tested any scripting language like PHP, Ruby, node.js, you know Java is… Over Engineered. You have to write lots of code for anything. Big configuration files, use of application servers, too many classes to perform simple tasks, no support for Collections literals, etc… Because of that, and before I knew the world beyond java, I started Blaapps (Bery Lol AAplication Server)....

Tomorrow is my brother’s birthday, we celebrated it today with my brothers, parent’s and grandma at “ Mery Limón”. Uff, I cannot move. I’m drunk, and full. Good food, some dishes were strange, but that’s the deal with experimental cooking. Good wine! This photo corresponds to a wall near to the restaurant. Once a year there’s a competition in Zaragoza, the “Asalto” (assault). Wall painters from around the world come to Zaragoza and leave their art on the walls of the city....

So, finally I bought an iPad (mini). I should stop spending my money. I’m quite surprised, as I’m using the iPad more than I thought. Painting, writing, reading, web browsing. Now I’m just searching for the right apps. Right now I’m testing Paper. Great interface, great results. I just have to practice a lot. After trying digital tablets (wacom bamboo), it’s refreshing to draw on the ipad. It could seem a tiny detail, but seeing your hand at the same time than the drawing is a HUGE improvement....

Me encantan los arrays en php, son un saco en el que cabe de todo: $datos = array( 'nombre' => 'Víctor', 'apellidos' => 'Jiménez', 'Cero', '0' => 'Otro Cero', 1 => 'uno', 'dos', '1' => 'UUUUNO' ); foreach ($datos as $key => $value) { ?> print "$key : $value \n"; } Es curioso cómo se pueden mezclar claves escalares y asociativas en un mismo objeto. Y más curioso es ver cómo convierte ‘0’ a 0....

Updated: as Blaxter notes, it’s necessary to open a new terminal after editing the bashrc file for the changes to take effect. Also, I’ve replaced the tail -n+2 with the -ss option. Thanks Baron Schwartz! One of the things I’ve been doing lately is doing some cleanup on my laptop. There are two things I’m constantly using on the shell: Open a project folder Connect to a MySQL Database Bash Functions I first made a bash function to help me with the projects paths:...

Una de las cosas más complicadas de empezar un proyecto es bautizarlo. Parece mentira, pero empiezas a añadir condiciones, y luego es difícil encontrar un nombre: Que tenga varios dominios libres Que no se confunda con algo que ya exista (corolario) Que tenga pocos resultados en google Que tenga nombre libre en twitter Que sea fácil de pronunciar / recordar Que tenga algo de relación con el proyecto Después de estar todo el día buscando nombres, al final ¡¡¡¡lo he encontrado!...

No sabía cuántas cosas tenía pendientes en mi servidor hasta que me he puesto a mirarlo por dentro. Resulta que con la última actualización de ebox a zentyal, los repositorios de los proyectos dejaron de funcionar, entre otras cosas porque no actualicé la configuración del LDAP. Hoy he estado un buen rato actualizando los tracs y reconfigurando la autenticación. La configuración de los repositorios subversion la hago a través de apache....
