One more quote for the road by Jose Alfredo

My friend Jose Alfredo says this when writing about some piece of code he is developing: "No te preocupes por ellos si todo funciona; si hay algo que no va, entonces el error dirá qué es lo que falta."
... which should be something like this in English: "Do not worry about them if everything works fine. If something doesn't work, then the error will tell you what is lacking"
Ah, if we could always know what the "error" is! ...
Where is the "error" when I look for him/her? (interesting: is error male or female?)
And when I find him/her, why doesn't he/she seem to speak with clear, understandable words, or just speak at all?
Interesting thoughts attack my mind whenever I take a sentence out of its original context... You are very inspiring to me, Jose Alfredo! Yes you are!

Paying the cost to be the boss

A song by BB King as the title of this post.
I finally did it. Lazyness and lack of time made me pay for the commenting system I had been using for free until some days ago. 21,57 euros go to Finitech Consultants. I hope this post will help me remember the day when I payed, so that next year they don't automatically bill me for one more year (in a year, I will surely have built a super blog with a super commenting system, everything with movable type or wp or whatever, but for free:) )
p.s. i also payed because, otherwise, I was going to loose all the comments that you my dear readers had been writing so patiently... the real raison d'etre of this blog... you see, at least i love you as much as 21,57 euros :)

Random stuff

Yes, it's more the title of a section than the title of a post, but it came out like this. I finally finished my PhD presentation for Thursday: "ICT and Sustainable Development". I am very proud of it, specially for the play on words I invented and put as a conclusion of the presentation: "from bytes to bites". It's true: we should move, many times, from bytes to bites. Reality bites.
(Nnow I wonder why I titled this post "random stuff", and then I remember what I wanted to write, and how just now I have censored myself because I don't want the things I was thinking to appear on this blog... yes, I wrote them and deleted them, and wrote this instead)

Mosquitos

They are coming. As i write this post, the light attracts them. One stops on the wall before me, just by the window. I catch a supermarket brochure to kill it, and he flies away, as it could hear me. I keep writing, more of them come.

No comments

It's confirmed: the commenting system doesn't work anymore. I have to pay 20 euros for it. Don't know what to do. The bastards didn't even send me an email to tell me about it. But I don't want to loose all the comments....
