preparate unos mates, imprimi este mail y sentate con tiempo delante de la compu.
asegurate que la mac tenga acceso a internet.
asegurate tambien de haber instalado Xcode; esto es fundamental para lo que vamos a hacer ahora; buscalo en el CD de Tiger, en la carpeta “Xcode Tools” (fijate en el attachment xcode.png); tenes un instalador para Xcode, dale nomas sin miedo; instalalo con las opciones “by default”
Introduction
In this article I give an overview of the Scrum Software Development Process. This methodology was first described by Takeuchi and Ikujiro in their 1986 book “The New New Product Development Game“, and was initially meant to manage any kind of product development project. This methodology, for example, has been used in “real” product development projects by companies such as Fuji-Xerox, Canon, Honda, NEC, Epson, Brother, 3M, Xerox and Hewlett-Packard (Schwaber). In the nineties it was adapted for software development projects. Continue reading
Just stumbled upon BadVista, an iniciative from the Free Software Foundation, to help increase the awareness of how Windows Vista and all what surrounds it represents a harm to the IT landscape in the long term.
While I do not fully agree with all the opinions of the FSF (particularly regarding the GPLv3), I do stand up and join them in what has to do with Windows Vista. Enough is enough.
Anyway, time to say goodbye to all of you until next year! I’m going tomorrow to Madrid, Spain, to have some time off with Claudia, so I take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year 2007!
Update, December 29th, 2006: Do not miss this paper: “A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection” (local copy if the above link does not work), published by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. I think that you cannot find a more thorough study about the real effects of Microsoft’s policy on the final user experience, the restriction on use and its growing monopoly.

QEPD El funcionario de la Secretaría General de la Presidencia entró a la subcomisaría de Banda Norte, en la ciudad cordobesa de Río Cuarto, porque quería preguntar la ubicación de una calle. Su tarea es llegar al terreno 24 horas antes de que arribe el primer mandatario, para arreglar los detalles. De esos viajes cuenta muchas anécdotas. La de ayer, en la subcomisaría de Banda Norte, fue una de las más desagradables y seguramente será motivo de un sumario. Apenas traspasó la puerta de entrada, se encontró con un póster bastante grande pegado en la pared: “Buscamos a Jorge Julio López”, decía. Y debajo, escrito en birome, con grandes letras, alguien había agregado las siglas “QEPD”.
I’ve just published two more recent wxWidgets projects, always testing new features! These projects should compile without problems with Xcode and Visual Studio.NET 2003 (as always, with wxWidgets, CppUnit and Doxygen).
Feel free to download the code, and as always: this comes without any warranty of any kind… blah blah blah. Do with it what you want and enjoy! :) All comments, as always, welcome.
todo sigue como antes; el odio seguira matando. hay mucho trabajo por hacer aun.
cortesia d’elfede.
I’ve just downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Reader for the Mac, both in PowerPC and Intel versions, and there’s just one thing to say: Impressive!
Since Panther I’ve avoided using the Acrobat Reader on the Mac, since the app seemed clunky and dumb to use; using Preview was simply fast and easy. Adobe Acrobat Reader was just a recompilation of the Windows source code to the Mac; but now, the Reader is a fully-fledged Mac application! It feels excellent, it is blazingly fast, it integrates in Safari, and it looks simply great.
The only drawback? It has the most stupid setup process I’ve ever seen on a Mac application:
Why not just letting people download the DMG file, open it, and drag the application in the Applications folder, and basta?? In any case, this happens only once, and after that, the application feels really great. This will bring a nice deal of competition in that small field; the Apple PDF reader included in Preview is really nice to use, but I prefer the fullscreen capabilities of the Adobe Acrobat Reader (and yes, I read a lot of PDF files, so this is kind of a power app for me…)
By the way, the book in the screenshot is “Domain Driven Design Quickly”, feely available online!
Very useful; every time that you come accross a website that “asks for a registration”, and damn, the only thing you want is to download that creepy damned free book, or free software, or free MP3, or demo of whatever, and they ask you for all your life for the nth time.
