Thu Feb 15 06:23:51 2007 Gopher was a popular protocol to sort information developed by University of Minnesota in 1991. It became almost extinct by the success of HTTP (although both appeared at the same time), it's more useful to mantain a sorted accesible documents repository. It's a space free from pop-ups, malware and abusive ads, whose simple interface makes it easy to adapt the contents for handicapped people or limited devices such as cell phones or PDAs. Since it was quite popular about 15 years ago, web browsers usually include Gopher support, but some stop to support it getting broken Gopher implementations. If your browser doesn't support it, you can use Floodgap Gopher Gateway. Now I've just started my own gopherspace to archive those documents I find interesting. My contribution to keep Gopher alive. You can go to my gopherspace in the left menu, even if your browser lacks Gopher support, then it will use Floodgap (if you have enabled JavaScript).

I like Las Ramblas, and among all shows this one is in my favorites.

Those are the results of running the Acid2 test against the most popular browsers. The results are eloquent, but just in case, I'm going to clarify it: it should be a yellow smiley face over a white background that when you pass the mouse over or near the nose, it becomes blue.
Opera 9 passes the Acid 2 test, making it the second browser to do so, and the first browser for Windows or Linux/UNIX to pass. It is the only current browser available for download for all of Windows, Linux/UNIX and Mac, that passes Acid 2.
The most worrying is that the two most popular browsers give the worst restults, forcing webmasters to optimize webpages for MSIE and Gecko, sometimes even breaking the compatibility with the standard, which causes problems to other minority browsers that follow the W3C rules, causing users to migrate to majority browsers thinking they interpret better the code (when in fact it's the opposite).
It is somewhat worrying that IE 6 renders Acid 2 very similarly to Opera 3.6, and the hyped IE 7 renders it about as well as Opera 4 in terms of number of mistakes (which was released in 2000, 6 years before the release date of IE 7).
Yes, it's somewhat worrying that by far the most used browser is also by far (six years more far than one minority browser) the worst interpreting the code. In the Firefox case, it could be because of their obstinate interest in adding eye candy features (in spite of its deficient configuration interface) and release new versions or because of a bigger direction towards security (factors in which Opera doesn't remain either back, or even goes more ahead, and even so it's able to pass the test), but in the IE case I can't think in any excuse, since neither it is nice nor comfortable nor safe nor innovative. I know, I can only expect a holy war and I may deserve it, but with this panorama we are going to finish doing different versions of webpages for each browser. I think that all this endorses to me if I decide not to go on applying fixes and workaraounds for IE and Gecko in this webpage.
Wed Jan 24 17:21:02 2007 You probably have heard some popular belief with a supposed scientific base of the type of humans use only 10% of their brains, you can kill somebody dropping a coin from a tall building, hair and nails continue growing after death or water drains backwards in the other hemisphere. Surely that you have heard more than twenty, but twenty are solely those that a recently published document (a little lacking in references) tries to solve. On the other hand, Javi Moya (author de Video Downloader), talks (in Spanish) about sleep paralysis which may be the case in opposition to sleepwalking. He previously talked about when you are about to fall asleep and suddenly you jump. It annoys, doen't it? Don't matter, you are not the only one. Unfortunely, nobody tell us if we can make frogs a la Al Gore.
Sat Jan 13 17:15:47 2007 El proyecto HAARP es un proyecto del Ejército de los Estados Unidos y la Universidad de Alaska para estudiar el comportamiento de la ionosfera. También conocido por "El arpa del diablo" por sus detractores, quienes opinan que realmente es una arma para controlar el tiempo. Entre quienes difunden la teoría conspiracionista se encuentra una página web con la que yo había colaborado desde sus inicios (hace ya sus diez años, en los que ni siquiera tenía dominio y estaba hospedada en RedesTB). Como no podía colaborar con ello puse un comentario a la noticia rebatiéndola, pero su existencia fue efímera: el moderador lo eliminó (se ve que hay quien prefiere difundir noticias no contrastadas y sin fundamentos antes que tener que admitir un error).

O hay algo que no entiendo o no tiene sentido. Y entonces es una estafa. Y si no también. Las grandes fortunas no se originan por lo general en los años
prósperos; surgen cuando la desgracia se ceba sobre los pueblos.
Conde de Romanones Actualización: 02-12-2007 Desde luego, el negocio es redondo, por una parte participan en la estafa y luego se lucran asesorando a los afectados.

It's a present fashion: the forges. There are so many that you don't know which to choose. The forges are websites hosting software projects that, in addition to host your code, offer the services the developers need for their project, like mail lists, bug tracking, revision control for team developing (CVS and/or SVN), forums, web hosting, ... The most known and used is SourceForge, but more began to appear and now even Microsoft has its own open source repository. But it's not the only one, we also have Sun, Google (with SoC, a very interesting project for free software community), FSF, Novell or RedIRIS (Spanish public organization), Mancomún (related to CESGA) and BerliOS (from the German Government and that now, like other times, is down). These are some between those generic services, but there are also others aimed to specific products such as Mozilla, Jabber, Ruby, Joomla or Lua. As I said, there are so many, that finally you don't know which to choose. Ah, the guy you can see in the video is Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft.
