AJAX WYSIWYG CMS

Or how to make a title by using only acronyms.

It’s called Authenteo and I have to say I haven’t really tried it yet, but it looks quite impressive.

Ouch, I tried it and it made this post the “Firefox 2 – Safari 0”. After some block moving, Firefox crashed with all my new stuff to read tabs on it. Thanks to Firefox 2 session restore, nothing happened. It has also recovered the unsaved text of this post!

About Athenteo, not working too well and it’s way complicated and strange to use, but could be a good foundation for something great in the future.

Google News Search

Posted by Jorge Bernal November 13, 2006

Yep, I know this is old news, but I had in my list of things to write about, and it was a good excuse to close this posting frequency gap. The thing is I’ve been in London this week and the Hotel’s wifi was quite bad.

Google launched last September its new search service for news. It’s not the same as Google News as it provides searching in newspaper archives long before the digital revolution.

Some sample searches:

• Ubuntu
• Debian
• Slashdot

Obviously, apart from academic and research purposes, the most fun is in the older articles, finding first news about the most common products of today

Funny support

How in hell you can quit smoking a hundred times in a lifetime and call it quitting?!

Amarok’s bizarre sorting

Posted by Jorge Bernal August 04, 2005

These days I’ve been using KDE and discovered amaroK. This app is pure crack I love it!

But yesterday I discovered a bizarre “bug”:

amaroK sorts the album list by year (desc) and then alphabetically (asc) so that’s what we get (4-3-1-2). I’m not sure if it has an easy solution but I’ll file the bug and let’s see what happens.

Orwellian memory?

The last few days, some people at mailing lists and planets have been surprised about the new Nokia 770 based on Debian+GNOME.

Don’t you remember? It was in December 2004: Linux Technical Project Manager (GNOME/freedesktop.org) – Helsinki, Finland

Quoting:

Back to normality

After some intenstive days I’m coming back to routine. Last weekend I was in Madrid and was just wonderful. What a lot of great people!

But that was not all, when I just came back to Zaragoza, some friends from Valencia were visiting, so I had two more intense days.

Anyway, these have been a great holidays. Now it’s time to fix the universe

Today, the Ubuntu Hoary Release Candidate has been announced. In a week (April 6th), Hoary will be released, and the road to Breezy Badger will start.

Great times are coming.

A nice day

Today has been a day a really nice day. First, I’m a MOTU now, it was quite funny at IRC:

<dholbach> may I introduce you all to....
<ogra> yayaya
<dholbach> our NEW MOTU
<dholbach> welcome aboard: koke!"
*   ogra jumps up and down extatically

But some minutes after that I got my new GNOME CVS account, so I already have my first commit to GNOME CVS

Tomorrow, I’m travelling to Madrid and I’ll be back on Sunday. I’m going to the sinDominio assembly, so I think I’ll be a bit offline. Anyway, good weekend to all!
