Last week I’ve been quite busy. I had a small project in mind. Briefly, the idea is to search pictures that match the songs you are listening to. And present them with some visual beauties. I named this project as: ImageWorth, try it out! It gets the “recent listened tracks” list from your Last.fm account,… Read More »
I’m really busy. Perhaps too much to be unemployed. Or maybe due to this… – Preparing trips to Madrid (next weekend), UK (June) and Canada (July). – Managing lots of things in the Go Spanish Association committee. Moreover I’m in charge of the national selection, which will take part in the 1st World Mind Sport… Read More »
10 years ago, when I saw for the first time a Java program, the classical “Hello World!”, I thought for a moment “booo, it’s counterintuitive… you need to create a class just to say Hello”. Later I used to do all the nasty work with classes. But I never imagined something like the following: Malbolge,… Read More »
I’m used to read PDFs while in bed, on my Acer PDA. But its tiny resolution (320×240) didn’t help a clear reading, therefore I started to look for a bigger device, it must be easy to hold but not too big. So I avoided those e-readers, and focused on PDAs with bigger resolution. And then… Read More »
[Most of my readers will not understand the following, but the mathematicians will love it] A couple of years ago, a mathematician friend told me some problems he had about optimizing a program (maths calculations), asking me for suggestions. I answered with some ideas, but then he asked me about the double format, the way… Read More »
In the last year I flew 24 times. Too many times, according to those ecological footprint quizs. So I decided to give another try to the train, for my usual Barcelona-Alicante trip. Unluckily in Spain the train’s company, “Renfe”, is really prehistoric: there are always delays, tickets are expensive (domestic flights are cheaper and quicker),… Read More »
Last night I had a look at the public Flickr API, just to have some fun. I discovered it’s really complete, with a lot of possibilities, covering different search approaches. You can easily ask the API for info about pictures, and use the results with imagination. On the other hand, I was also interested in… Read More »
KISS : Keep It Simple and Stupid Sometimes I forget this principle. The other day was one of such days. I was trying to solve a problem at TopCoder (a website that runs computer programming contests)… The statement was something like “given n males and m females, sit them down in a circular table, in… Read More »
This page was part of my last project which I developed in my company: Buff catalog. And this page was part of the website of our client’s competitor in China, recently published: KranGear catalog. The funny thing is that their javascript files even include MY comments, in Spanish. The idea was to use a thermometer… Read More »
Post #200, and time of changes. – I’m unemployed now. Eventually I finish my last day in my company. It was somehow a sad day, with lots of “goodbye”, “good luck”, and such… but all my coworkers collect some money and gave me a 200eur voucher for buying a camera! I’ve learned a lot during… Read More »
