Literally, I have no words to say.
I've been pretty much out of the whole picture these last couple of weeks. But the main reason is that I had my tonsillectomy on the 28th. I was mostly mute for the whole week, and I survived mostly out of the huge reserves my body had stored for such a situation (yeah, I am not overweight, I am prepared ). That also meant that I could hardly focus on anything without feeling tired, and I was feeling kitty-weak for the whole week.
Having no way to swallow food sure puts things in perspective, there are certain things (not people) that I love in this world, and one of them is the food: cook and eat it. One of my dreams is to study/learn new cuisines, originated in no small part from my love of the tastes, textures and smells that different dishes can have. And being unable to even swallow a pop corn was driving me crazy. I didn't eat anything for 4 days after the surgery mostly due to the pain (and thinking on how it would hurt if I ate). Finally on the 5th day I decided I wanted a grape, and what would be my surprise when I couldn't even taste it. That's when I snapped.
I started doing all kind of exercises to recover my sense of taste and to speed up the whole recovery process, and thankfully, I am almost up to par again now. I did them even if they hurt, I thing I was honestly being a sissy, and the loss of taste was the push I needed to finally kick things into action.
I'll be 100% again soon I hope
Oh, one more thing, I'm moving back to the Bay Area on the 19th, so if you have or hear about any apartment in the area (San Francisco or south-ish San Francisco) give me a shout.

I was testing midori, mainly because I wanted a webkit browser to test some pages and midori is a lightweight enough browser to have around.
But (there's always a but, right) I found a problem: midori is not able to open any pages on http://localhost... anyone having the same problem? it works on http://127.0.0.1 without problems though, and other browser do work on localhost, maybe I'm missing something here? anyone smarter than me cares to shed some light?

The https://fedorahosted.org site was in desperately need of some love. Luckily, I had some spare time and gave it a face-lift

Here's a sneak peak, but I would like you to go see for yourself, and if anything seems amiss, just drop me a line either here or on IRC.

This happened while no one was looking. Suffice is to say, these are pretty cool news, I've always considered LP.net to be one of the best platforms for FLOSS hosting, way above sf.net and freshmeat. The tight integration between the VCS (Bazaar in this case) and the rest of the platform functions is one of the key components here. Yeah, you could list me as a fan.
But there was always that thing that bugged me: the way a platform for FLOSS wasn't free itself. That is not the case anymore. I don't have an ubuntu machine around anymore (I replaced my girlfriend's desktop with fedora-es so she could report any missing translations to me directly but man, just by looking at the directions to get the source code, it says it may take some hours just to download the code. That is wicked.
These news were shadowed no doubt by the announcement of Microsoft's release of a chunk of code under the GPL. I took a brief look at it and it only makes sense for them to release this code, it benefits their product, and there was no other way to release kernel code but under the GPL. I don't think this means MS will start unloading tons of code on Linux, but at the same time they have come to the realization that (GPL != Business) is not true anymore. After all, it makes sense to release code under whatever license as long as it means increasing their own business. That's the way most companies operate: they weigh the trade-off, and if it benefits them, so be it.

Between all the major hoopla going around in my house for the past month or so, I managed (all by myself) to miss the register deadline for FUDCon Latam, which is a damn shame, since I wanted to attend.
Oh well, maybe I'll attend next year's FUDCon if it happens to be nearby. And by "nearby" I mean within reasonable airplane distance.
Have fun down there everybody!
