5 years

Today it’s the 5th anniversary of the article that would eventually become the first post of this blog. I was leaving Buenos Aires, again, and I wrote that on my old G3 iBook in the airport of Ezeiza, right before boarding. That trip was very important, for many reasons that don’t fit on a single blog entry.

Since then, I met Claudia, we got married, I finished my master degree and started my own company. Even hernún came to Switzerland! I’ve moved from talking about .NET to giving interviews about the iPhone. I’ve published as much text and code as I could, but most importantly, I kept on creating things.

Thanks to all of you, for your comments, your support, your ideas, your code, your critics. I’ve really learnt a lot during these years, and I hope my ramblings will be useful to you in the future as well.

Cheers! Salud! Santé!

New RSS Feed URL

A quick message to my subscribers: I’ve moved the URL of the RSS feed to FeedBurner, following the advice of my good friend Thierry Weber, so from now the new official RSS feed URL for Open Kosmaczewski is http://feeds.feedburner.com/kosmaczewski/feed.

Thanks for your support! Your comments, support and fidelity are astounding: you are a great audience! I look forward to continue serving you with code, tips, nice reading, and powerful rants in the future.

Update, 2009-08-08: for those wandering how to configure their WordPress installation to use FeedBurner, just follow these instructions. It includes a link to the legendary FeedSmith plugin.

El primer Kosmaczewski? Y los ultimos?

Hace un tiempo encontre esta pagina donde me parece que esta la referencia a la primer persona con el apellido Kosmaczewski.

Por si las moscas, si la pagina no fuese accesible, hice una copia que se puede bajar aca.

Tambien encontre que los Kosmaczewski originariamente formabamos parte del clan Jastrzebiec (tambien hice una copia de la pagina). El clan se establecio alla por el 900 y pico.

Y somos varios los descendientes:

“Mi Padre, aquel Inmigrante”, por Hector Jorge Borawski

Hector Jorge Borawski es un gran amigo de la familia Kosmaczewski, desde hace muchos años; en realidad, su padre, Jose Borawski, fue intimo amigo de mi abuelo, Kazimierz Kosmaczewski, quien emigro a Buenos Aires a fines de la decada de 1920. Es una amistad que trasciende oceanos y decadas, y que se perpetua y afianza.

Hector escribio un libro con la historia de su padre, Jose. Un pedazo de historia que no se debe olvidar, contada de una manera hermosa y emotiva. Su pagina web tiene tambien mucha informacion sobre el apellido Borawski, asi como la version original del libro.

Un abrazo, Hector!
