Mr Columbus took 3 months to arrive to America. I took 11 hours, in the stomach of a giant ship. One day later, carrying some jet-lag, I took a bus and then a boat to arrive to Tortuguero, a small town among big rivers and an endless jungle… a place without cars and traffic lights.… Read More »
This is (hopefully) the last week of “my” winter. Next week I’ll be in Costa Rica, taking pictures jerkily to all those details of the green jungle. And when I’ll come back to the Mediterranean, 2 weeks later, the Sun will have done its homework. It would be nice to live 6 months in a… 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 »
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 »
In a couple of hours I’ll be boarding in a plane to London. I’m going to take part in the London Tournament, and days later do some sightseeing. See you! Happy next year!

Planes. An interesting place to program computers. I find the idle hours, that you spend in the airport and the plane, the perfect time to research on new ideas. During my last flight (a trip to Germany) I decided to play with some SVG and Javascript, for simulating “elasticity” (inspired by the plane’s wings). SVG… Read More »
This year I asked my boss for having 3 weeks of holidays in August. I got it, and the idea was spending 1 week in Alicante (I can’t miss Elche’s festivals). For the other 2 weeks, a trip to somewhere in Europe could be nice. The first idea I had was an interesting option to… Read More »
I’ve just come back home after spending a weekend in Dublin. Jordi suggested me to go there to enjoy some games with the Irish, and take place in the Irish Go Open, and eventually I went and had a nice time playing. I was really lucky on the board, getting a full score (5 wins… Read More »
I’m spending the last week of my holidays in my hometown, Novelda. Like every summer, I got fascinated with different demonstrations of fireworks in Elche’s festivals (a neighbour city, where some of my cousins live). I can assert without doubts “this is the land of unbeatable fireworks”. I went 2 nights to watch these fireworks,… Read More »
