My XBOX is dead!

Well this ... that my personal supplier of vice and perdition has passed to a better life.
I will send it to MS to see if they can fix it. For now I will be a few weeks of forced abstinence ;-)
At least I have the "series" to go kill time :-D

Zurrukutuna Soup recipe

-
Image
The following post has nothing to do with technology, but it is something that I want to remember in the future. This last saturday I visited my mother and she offer me a very good soup she learnt from the cook "Arguiñano" on TV. She is a big fan of the Arguiñano cook, so everything this man does has relevance to her. The thing is that I was so delighted that she wanted me to keep the recipe. The content of the picture has been OCR'ed and edit after it. Sopa Zurrukutuna  ("sorber o chupar" en vasco) Pelar y sofreir unos ajos enteros. Poner 1 cucharada de aceite por comensal. Añadir pan "sopaco" o tostado. Remojar los pimientos (3) choriceros en agua hirviendo 5 minutos. Pan cortado en lonchitas finas o desmenuzado, se añade un trozo de guindilla y una cucharada de pimentón dulce o picante al gusto. Añadir el caldo, que se puede hacer con cebolla, zanahoria y puerro o un cubito de caldo de verdures. Hervir 20 minutos aproximadamente con un poco de sal. ...

Habemus A (catalan)

Per fi sóc un "limitat"! Ahir vaig fer l'examen de moto i el vaig aprovar. Després d'any i mig després de proposar-me com a objectiu el treure'm el carnet de moto gran (l'anomenat de tipus A), ahir el vaig aconseguir. He fet 6 pràctiques al "mòdic" preu de 33 euros la pràctica. L'examen costava 55 euros i les tasses 17 euros. Total: 262 euros. I això només la part pràctica. Suma-li la part teòrica i veuràs que surt una mica car. La moto de l'autoescola, una Yamaha YBR 250, estava una mica tarada tot i tenir un any d'antiguitat. La maneta d'embragatge no anava gaire fina: havia de jugar tota l'estona amb ella per a que la moto no em dongués tirons. Al escalfar-se cada cop es feia més dificil posar punt mort desde segona. Una altra cosa negativa ha estat la quantitat de gent que ha volgut treure's el carnet abans de que canviin la normativa i sigui obligatori fer examen i pràctiques de conducció urbana. Hi ha hagut dies en qu...

The cathedral and the bazaar, by Eric S.Raymond

-
This is an essay that talks about the open source software model. Compare how to make proprietary software in large projects (cathedral) and how to make software in community projects (bazaar). It also explains the author's experiences in leading an open source project (bazaar type). This project despite seeking to address a personal need of the author, was developed into a powerful tool used by many users. Copying the management techniques that Linus Torvals used to make "Linux," Eric S. Raymond wanted to see how effective the open source project management model was. The essay is translated into Spanish from English, but it has been difficult for me to read not only because of the technical part of the systems but because the translation of the text has been automatic and some accented vowels and exclamation marks have become letters. incorrect. Despite being almost 25 years old, the text is a must-read for free software technicians and enthusiasts.
