About me

My name is Alberto Garcia and this is my blog at Igalia, the company I co-founded and where I’ve been working since I left university.

I was born in this beautiful place in the late 70s. I love walking by the sea and swimming at the beach in the summertime. I love going out with friends too, and I also like cinema very much.

One of my main hobbies is computer science. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (I still own three different models), with which I learnt programming (and played a lot) in the early 90s. Some years later I got a PC and knew about free software while studying computer science at the Corunha University. I’m a Debian GNU/Linux user since then.

My other main hobby is listening to music. I usually prefer pop music, but sometimes I like to switch to other styles, such as folk, electronic, punk, singer-songwriter, noise/industrial, bossanova and more. I love live music too, and I go to several concerts a year. The title of this weblog is related to one of the many bands I like. Which one? Well… it’s very easy to find out, so this is an exercise left to the reader

Finally, you can check my personal webpage. There you’ll find my contact information and some software.
