Just a quick note to wish everybody a very merry christmas. If you don’t celebrate it, well, I wish you the best, peace and happiness. Enjoy your time with family and loved ones, it’s what it’s all about!
If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t posted anything in a while. I have been super busy with some cool projects, keep an eye out for some serious updates!
Peace!
Big Buck Bunny is here!
The Peach Project, or Big Buck Bunny has finally been released for download, go check it out! It is an impressive piece of work that should make any Open Source fan VERY proud. If this doesn’t convince you that spending more than $0 for a full-featured professional 3D application is a waste of money, I don’t know what will…
Hardy upgrade is smooth!
A week before the release of Ubuntu 8.04 I decided to install the beta version on one of the servers at work. Needless to say, the installation went smooth as with any Ubuntu upgrade. Nobody even noticed any lag or hiccups. After the final version was released, I upgraded all the packages that needed upgrading. The load on the server went down 20%, which is always good.
Django’s Wired
Well, it appears we’re getting some attention. We’re WIRED! Enough said…

Sitemaps and Django
Today I was playing at work with sitemap generation using Django and hit a wall. Django’s sitemap framework looks easy enough and I believe is powerful and flexible; it helps you generate the XML for your models and flatpages with very little effort. The problem that I encountered was because I am not using flatpages at all, I encountered some limitations for what I needed to do. Maybe I’m missing something, I don’t know.
Inspiration for many. Good bye, Sir Genius.
Sir Arthur C. Clarke has passed away. Very sad news. As a geek, I have always been inspired by this talented individual, who has written classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey. He has inspired me in my exploration since I was a kid, and always will. Rest in peace, dear Sir.
Why opinionated?
A while ago I was suffering PHP-itis. I was sick of it. After 10 years of using it I was tired of it. I actually had a lot of fun with it and produced some interesting software. But I was getting frustrated by the amount of work one had to do to get things done. Granted, I never looked into any PHP framework that would have made my life easier. I wasn’t a happy programmer.
Hello WordPress!
While I would love to have this blog powered by Django, it will use WordPress for a while. I have wanted to do a blog for a while and tried different packages but none convinced me. WordPress was always the one that got closer to what I wanted, but not perfect and with some quirks that truly irritate me sometimes.
