The black hole…
...my black hole...
I have been publishing some books lately. First, a scientific journal about computer linguistics applied to the Iberian languages. It has two editions per year, and as the PDF version is free, the paper version does not sell well. But some people like to have it, and therefore I created the books in lulu, where […]
Door opens. Door closes. Door opens. Door closes. Door opens again. Door closes, yet again. Yes, it is the old scenes from Smart Eye, the series. Yes, I was watching Get Smart (2008), with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. I think Steve was well chosen for Maxwell Smart. The movie is fun, the movie is […]
Installed Firefox 4.0 beta 1 in Mac OS X for about… 5 minutes. For now, loved the reduced size of the toolbar (heh.. where are my bookmarks?.. ok, activated it again). Then, by default text areas are now resizable by the user. Good, as some are quite small (just expanded one at the moment), bad […]
I’ve seen the book The men who stare at goats at a bookstore, and although I did not watch the movie, I read the synopsis at the end of book, and it seemed interesting. It was easier to find the movie, and it takes few time to watch the movie than to read the book. […]
I just ordered this smartphone. I know it is not Apple. I know it does not run Android. I know its operating system is not open source. But, what can I say, I got in love with it. I think it quite interesting to add the solar panel. Not sure about how good will it […]
Yesterday night I watched ‘Cheeky!‘, the English dubbed version of the original italian movie Trasgredire. As you might guess from the poster at the right, the movie is full of nice girls, without clothes. Given that, I will try not to comment on the sexy or erotic side of the movie. Yes, I should have […]
I will not detail anything about TEI. Sorry. I would just like to let you know that every time I need to work with any TEI subset, I find myself amazed with the quality of their documentation and the details they thought on before writing the standard. Sometimes I just get to me thinking… do […]
For some time that this movie is in my queue to be watched. Not because I expected a great movie (I didn’t, as some people warned me before), but because of Jessica Alba swimming around in the ocean. And let me tell you that, if it wasn’t she and her friend Ashley Scott, the movie […]
This afternoon I want Candy. Being more clear, I watched “I Want Candy” comedy, with Carmen Electra as a porn actress. The movie is fun, there are some nice girls in it, and it has Carmen Electra. But let I say you now, that after watching the movie, no, I do not want Candy. I […]
I teach XML, DTD and the like, and I teach (or show and make students use) CSS for XML. It doesn’t work properly on all browsers, it doesn’t work consistently on all browsers, it doesn’t do everything web publishing needs. But it is a good approach to add some style and usefulness to XML without […]
