Summer is now here! Barcelona is raising the temperature up to 30ºC. The worst part is that it’s too hot. The weather changes suddenly from a comfortable spring temperature to a sticky and sweaty ambient. Your body needs to get used to this heat, and this means at least one week feeling sick and having… Read More »
My father usually says “an engineer is a person who solves problems with ingenious ideas”. Both words, engineer and ingenious, have the same latin root: ingenium. Both persons, him and I, are engineers. So I must agree with him! Last Saturday I was in the “Spanish Women’s Go Championships”. Obviously I didn’t play. But I… Read More »
I want to write every day, but it’s difficult to find interesting issues. I have lots of ideas, but almost all of them seem worthless. Why write or say something which is not adding new information to the reader? Here there are some of my non-adding-information thoughts: Dogs are for the countryside Barcelona is full… Read More »
Yesterday I thought about this question: “how many english words do I have in my mind?” . How vast is my English vocabulary? So I have had an idea: to program a small script in PHP which counts words from my English posts here. At the moment, with only 14 entries, the statistics are: ·… Read More »
What happens when you start to live in different cities? You actually realized you can’t stop… you can’t stay in one city although you feel it’s the best city to live in. You start to discover the world, and you feel if you stop too long in one city you are losing time. This is… Read More »

But the most interesting discovery I made was that the walls of my bedroom are (dark) orange too. Hold on!, also my favourite towel is orange. So I looked for some… Read More »
“Tactics is doing the things right. Strategy is doing the right thing” Next weekend I’m going to participate in the “Gofme Handicap Go Tournament“. It’s probably the funniest Go tournament in Spain (but also “Go in the Street”, held in Barcelona in August, it’s another winner). Because it’s a handicap tournament, the chances of winning… Read More »
In my last flight I discovered something with my laptop. It was the first time I used it inside the plane. Normally I prefer to sleep (or try to). But in this case I was trying to program some ideas (specifically a CMS using AJAX), and suddenly I discovered my usual text editor didn’t fit… Read More »
Finally it’s at home!! Last January I brought my keyboard to the technical service, due to a small problem with the data-wheel. I can also program it with the numeric keyboard it has, but it’s quicker to use the data-wheel as the input device. They said it’d be repaired in 2 or 3 weeks. One… Read More »
Take a plane once a month; this was my idea sometime ago. I’m not sure, but it seems I need a small trip every month. Inside the plane the time stops (my mobile is my watch and it must be disconected), and my ears get closed. I look down at earth and I imagine a… Read More »
