More journalist crap

without comments

Some days ago I got in my google news alerts an article from Reuters titled “Novell-Could-Be-Banned-From-Selling-Linux”. I found it really interesting as most of the heat and FUD are gone since a few weeks.

Today the article was picked by OSNews, and I thought “Oh no…. here we go again”.

But the OSNews story, had an update:

Update: The FSF claims this is being hyped.

So, last week prize for research lazyness was awarded to Dan Nicolae Alexa.

This week prize for FUD, and “unnecessary waves” goes to Jim Finkle.

FOSDEM

FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting

20 days until FOSDEM, but our openSUSE team has already all the information about our developer room and talks available.

I will be doing a talk about what are we doing with package management.

Don’t miss this nice opportunity to meet lot of community members in real life and also having 2 days of open source and belgian beer.

Feeds de Emol.com

with one comment

Hace algun tiempo yo utilizaba los feeds de Héctor Vergara para emol. Lamentablemente la vieja url dejó de funcionar.

Es por eso que intenté hacer mi propio feed (nota: no lo actualizaré) con un pequeño script en ruby. Cuando estaba listo, me doy cuenta que las feeds de Héctor estan en otro sitio ahora.

A diferencia de Héctor, no logré hacer que cada entrada tenga el atributo de fecha. Y una vez que encontre las viejas feeds, no creo que invierta tiempo en hacerlo.

Luego, buscando en google llego a la misma página de emol.com, y veo:

emol rss

Claro, el link no lleva a ninguna parte. No funciona. No hay feeds. Por un minuto pensé que en verdad me habia pasado el día entero “puro hueveando”, pero gracias a que encontre los feeds de Héctor, solo pasé la mitad del día tonteando.
