Ballmer gets egged up

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Oh yeah, here’s a nice welcome message to our friend Ballmer in Budapest.
Look at his face after he realizes that was not a suicide terrorist and that he’s not going to heaven (yes, he was worried because he has to bribe…).

I can only understand 25 % of what this guy says but I think I totally agree with him!

Import this!

If you’re new to Python and want a little inspiration, or if you just wanna see how cool Python people are, open a terminal, type python to get into the interpretor and then:

>>> import this
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you’re Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea — let’s do more of those!

Rock helps Windows Vista

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Here’s a funny commercial on how Windows Vista beats a human beatbox.

OK, I am not really a fan of hip-hop culture so I was happy that Vista won because of three things:
1. Vista only won when Rock (yes, it’s not metal) was put into practice and not hip-hop;
2. Vista seems to attract good looking girls;
3. Vista actually won at something;

But even after this Vista victory, facts are that:
1. The gossip says the guy was paid to lose…;
2. The gossip says the girl was paid to look attracted to Vista;
3. The girl is rich (she’s got enough money to a afford a Vista capable machine…);
4. There was actually someone that allowed that ugly sticker to be put on a laptop;
5. Vista seems to need to be playing Super-Mario songs for over a minute to be able to play 5 seconds of real music;
6. Vista needs to be connected to mp3 players to be able to play music;
7. This is a fictional contest (there are paper UFOs flying all over the damn place).

BluePad for Windows

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Don’t worry, this was a Fool’s Day joke.

===========

OK, late news from my BluePad project.

Me and Valério were contacted by Microsoft which had interest on having us porting BluePad to Windows XP and Vista.

We had a meeting that lasted for 5 hours but we came out from there happy.

So, conclusions, we are gonna port BluePad for Windows XP and Vista and the further versions of BluePad will be closed source which means that it will no longer support Linux or anything else than Windows.

With the deal we got from the giant company I am gonna spend a few years drinking mojitos by the beach in a remote but sunny island.

El Chiki Chiki

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

OK, Spain is a big country and have produced many wonderful things such as Flamenco BUT that’s nothing…

The “artist” that won the contest to represent Spain in the well known song festival Eurovision is Rodolfo Chikilicuatre the creator of Chiki Chiki!

I was told that someone wrote a script so people could supposedly vote in their favorite artist as many times as they wanted but the fact was that it always voted on Chiki Chiki!

Enough words, Chiki Chiki speaks for itself:
