Site maintenance finished
Seems during the last days the hosting company have changed the underlaying hardware that keeps this site running and on the way have changed the domain name servers, due to this the site has been two days offline while trying to figure out the problem.
Reorganisation of categories
Finally managed to have a bit of time to fix the organisation of categories and the main menus, sure enough this should be cleaner and more readable while keeping the content intact. In case you have some links to some articles please check they are still valid as the way the paths are built will be affected, something Google loves In any case, the most important change is that I have grouped all CGI subjects, from events, business to XSI tutorials under one menu. Enjoy
Google’s world domination
Today everything came together as I haven’t managed to put into words some of my feelings with the latest products from Google, a company that somehow is morphing from search to something terrifyingly different, a data mining company and the level of the event is such I couldn’t really comprehend the impact.
Pear notes
What a discovery today when reading smoking apples article on Pear Notes, a note taking application for OSX that will rock your world.
Portfolio updated
Seems finally I have managed to put together the images for the old portfolio and the only thing missing is to add the very latest jobs and old jobs I never had the time to find all the stuff so stay tuned for the next days as I am close to finishing the redesign. Thanks for the patience.
Posts upgrade
In the process of adding more value to those articles and posts I am now reviewing every single post, upgrading them, adding many images as you sure have noticed and will setup the links to videos and making-of provided the permissions to publish those are in place.
Website revamp
As you probably can see from the random changes, experiments and graphic tweaks the website is right now on the process of being revamped to WordPress 3 with a new theme that will require some fiddling for a few days until I get it right. Please be patient and bear in mind I am still working on it. Thanks for your understanding.
Hackintosing
I am fascinated by all these people out there spending their time on hacking computers that normally would run windows or linux to now run mac os x.
Free data for everybody
After today’s announcement on the new UK children’s database; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8052512.stm I worry about the data, which in theory is secure, but let’s face it, what credibility does the Labour government has on the subject; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7771787.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7103911.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7147715.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/8033172.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/8003757.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/wales_politics/7935210.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7345533.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7148770.stm (there are many many more examples but I got tired of writing them) So as you can imagine I am very worried indeed on the whole subject of data centralization in the hands of government officials, let’s face it, they don’t know what they are doing at all.
Google vs. Wolfram|Alpha
Just lately has been quite a bit of press on the new project from Wolfram, and the media hinted to the “Google Killer” which in my opinion is a bit misleading as this is not a competitor on searching, but a competitor in quality of information and a research tool. So where are these two huge projects going? In my opinion a small answer is not possible, you have to understand a bit what Google and Wolfram do and where they come from but more importantly where the new Alpha tool lives today.
