A farmer
I should have been a farmer, or a gardener. Every single plant grows on my rough hands. Is it me?, or is the nature so beautiful? Even a garlic clove!

Renfe.es: a bad UI case
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 »
Welcome 2008, warming up again
I stayed one week in London, during the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008. I had a really nice time there, took part in a Go tournament with excellent results, and did a lot of sightseeing beneath the cold and dark sky. I took a lot of pictures, as well. It was an… Read More »
I won the lightning tournament!!
One of the sides events of the London Tournament was the Lightning Tournament, where you play Go (with handicap) with a really short time per player. During the qualifications the time was 10 minutes per player (sudden death, i.e. without byo-yomi), and in the knock-out finals it was 12 minutes. I won 5 in a… Read More »
Digitalizing the “Clot Roig” and the “Clot Negre”
During my stay in Novelda, my hometown, for Christmas I had an idea: “digitalize” some almost secret places near the river Vinalopó, which is next to the city. The river itself is quite small, with a width of around 2 meters, but the bed is quite wide, due to scattered floods. Walking up next to… Read More »

DIY greenhouse
How can I build a greenhouse, a small one that fits in the balcony, to let my tomatoes become red? This question have been bouncing inside my mind during some weeks. With the cold weather my tomato’s plant can’t grow red tomatoes. I was expecting its death, but for some reason the plant continues blossoming.… Read More »
3 meals per day: when, why, how many?
Last Saturday I was invited to a Korean lunch. It was delicious, but we had it at 12h, when I usually have lunch at 14:30 or 15h. This shift of 3 hours made me feel sleepy around 20h, when I decided to move forward my dinner, usually at 22h. During the whole evening I was… Read More »
A clock with pictures
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 »
Book zapping
The other day I was speaking with Jordi, while looking for a firewood heater in Encants flea market, when I realized I’m reading a lot of books at the same time. I knew I was reading more than 1 book, but I didn’t notice the exact amount of reading threads. Let’s enumerate them: · La… Read More »
