Conectando a través de guifi.net
Conexión hecha en una tarde tonta. Lo que lleva más tiempo es localizar el sitio para la antena.
Si tienes un nodo a mano y no conectas es porque no quieres. Que lo shepash.

20 minutos bien invertidos. Los dibujos infantiles son geniales, pero lo que me ha roto es la charla en TED de Ken Robinson.
Unas semanas antes del último Halloween, un degenerado aprovechó que su novia enseñaba a los niños de un coro infantil para llevarselos a un “retiro” de fin de semana y leerles La Sombra fuera del Tiempo, Las Montañas de la Locura y La...

Jan: Mama. No vull que tinguis el Pau a la falda ni que li donis al pare.
Sara: Llavors què faig, me'l menjo?

Wow. For a moment I felt american. Oh wait…
Nicholas Kristof argues that the U.S. is at the level of plutocratic banana republics: CEOs of the largest American companies earned an average of
42 times as much as the average worker in 1980, but 531 times as
much in 2001. Perhaps the most astounding statistic is this: From
1980 to 2005, more than four-fifths of the total...

Really handy. I’ll have to read this twice, at least.
We need to talk about your cat because your cat is pissing me off. Your cat is eating my socks. No. Really. Your cat has eaten four pairs of my socks. Yes, I know cats can’t digest cloth. Your cat does not have super-feline sock-eating and digestion skills. Your cat nibbles the toes off my socks and then throws...

El embarque
Acaban de anunciar el comienzo del embarque.
Cuando llegué hace quince minutos el avión ya estaba conectado al finger y había una inmensa fila de gente esperando en la puerta. Al poco empezaron a salir los viajeros del avión.
¿Por qué la gente se estresa tanto? Todos tenemos asiento asignado. No hay ninguna razón para esperar de pie mientras estorban la salida de los viajeros anteriores. Con...
Apple: To resolve this behavior for existing alarms, set the repeat
interval to Never. You will need to reset these alarms for each
day you need them. After November 7th, 2010, you can set your alarms to repeat again.
The bug is apparently fixed in iOS 4.2, but I doubt 4.2 is shipping before November 7 anyway.

Chiste reaprovechado de la actuación monologuera de anoche. ¡Aquí no se tira nada!
Antibodies are key components of the immune system, as they recognize and bind to proteins on the surfaces of viruses and bacteria. It was generally thought that any antibody-virus combinations that resulted were cleared by specialized immune cells, but a paper released yesterday by PNAS indicates that when any cell is targeted by a virus that has an antibody latched on to it, the cell can use...

Linchando hijos de puta
¿Qué se debe hacer con un individuo que escribe lo siguiente?
En Tokio, un día, me topé con unas lolitas, pero no eran unas lolitas cualesquiera, sino de esas que se visten como zorritas, con los labios pintados, carmín, rimel, tacones, minifalda… Tendrían unos trece años. Subí con ellas y las muy putas se pusieron a turnarse. Mientras una se iba al váter, la otra se me trajinaba

Roasting for Columbine

— Niños, cantémosle a Michael el cumpleaños feliz. Michael, ¿qué tal al cumplir siete años?
— Bueno, mi padre preparó una fiesta sorpresa presidida por su robot subnormal a la que asistieron mi primer oso de peluche y el payaso de trapo de mi hermano. El robot subnormal de mi padre les prendió fuego y después se quemó a lo bonzo. Por lo que he...

Marco.org: Eating less meat →
I’ve made a dramatic shift in my diet over the last few weeks: eating almost no meat. (update: thoughts on fish.) There are plenty of good reasons not to eat meat, including: The treatment of the animals is awful. The more you know about industrialized meat production, the less you want to…
I’ve thought of giving this a shot for a long time.

Takeshi Kitano meets Hayao Miyazaki
Question: What’s common to the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Takeshi Kitano?
Answer: Joe Hisaishi is the soundtrack composer of many of Kitano’s films. And of Miyazaki’s whole filmography.
A quick comparison. In 2001 he composed the soundtracks of Kitano’s Brother and Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. Believe me, you don’t want anyone under the age of 14 to see...

Red vs. Blue
Grif: I know, but why Warthog? I mean, it doesn't really look like a pig.
Sarge: (after a brief pause) Say that again.
Grif: I think it looks more like a Puma.
Sarge: What in Sam Hell is a Puma?
Simmons: Uh...you mean like the shoe company?
Grif: No it's a big cat, like a lion.
Sarge: You're making that up.
Grif: I'm telling you, it's a real animal!
Sarge: Simmons, I want you to poison Grif's next meal.
Simmons: Yes, sir!
Sarge: (pointing at the front of the Warthog) Look, see these two tow hooks? They look like tusks and what kind of animal has tusks?
Switch to Grif.
Grif: A walrus.
Sarge: Didn't I just tell you to stop making up animals?!

F*ing Cocoa: a tale of NSTextField and float...
It’s not what you think. That F* is for float.
I just completed the Currency Converter tutorial, the hello world of Cocoa programming, using XCode and Interface Builder. And found an unexpected behavior: 1,2 * 1,2 = 1,44__0000057220459__. What the…? Let’s trace this

Better is better
I’m using an iPhone 3G again after five months with the Nexus One. I’ve used Eclair, Froyo and diverse unofficial ROMs to no avail.
Android is deeply flawed. It lacks a coherent UI, usability, interaction with non-google platforms… And I don’t see it improving to iPhone levels any time soon only because I am following an absolute free grammar diet. If I wasn’t I...

Douglas Adams was so great that predicted Mac OS X 10.5.
taoofmac:
I had no recollection they had a Mac EPUB app - but then again, that’s not the point.
The point is that it’s buried under “other devices”, completely separate from the PC one (and, of all things, next to the Blackberry one).
It’s bloody ridiculous, and it reminds me of the dialogue between Arthur Dent and Mr. Prosser on the...
