Cool stuff

Here you can download some cool sutff I’ve just “generated” at some moment in the past and finally managed to upload them to this blog.

[sw] frogr: a flickr remote organizer for GNOME

Frogr intends to be a complete GNOME application to remotely manage a flickr account from the desktop. It uses flickcurl, from Dave Beckett to communicate with the server through the publicly available flickr REST API, is Free Software and is published under the terms of the GNU Public License v3.

To get frogr, please checkout the git repository at gitorious (sorry, no packages yet):

git clone git://gitorious.org/frogr/mainline.git

You can also visit the website of the project in google code to check out more information, join the user and developers mailing lists, to report any issue or just in case you wished to get involved on its development. Remember this is Free Software and any kind of help, contribution or collaboration will be always welcome .

[sw] eFortunes

If you mix functional programming (using Erlang) with web apps development (using Yaws) and a fault-tolerant storage system (using Mnesia) for your preferred fortunes… what do you get? Yeah!… eFortunes: a distributed, fault-tolerant and scalable fortunes server developed in Erlang.

Well, stop joking Mario, eFortunes is not that yet… nowadays eFortunes is just a personal workbench for me to learn more about web development with erlang, and the fortunes server is just an excuse (as another could be) for me to programming such that workbench.

[talk][spanish] Tsung: an open-source multi-protocol distributed load testing tool

While developing my Master Thesis I needed a tool to test a web server under high load conditions, in order to see how it managed that situation. Then the director of the project told me about a tool called Tsung, which perfectly fit the requirements for the test I wanted to do.After finishing the work, the director of my Master Thesis asked me for a talk about Tsung, so other people on the lab could easily to figure out what is this about, and how to work with it without “fighting” it as I did before. As it looked like a good idea to me, I did agree to set up the talk for my teacher and my fellow workers from the lab… and this is the result, some slides talkin about Tsung: what’s Tsung, how to install/configure/use it, and an small example of using and gathering statistic results about the test done.

[talk][spanish] Desarrollando un “status bar plugin” para maemo: un ejemplo con Vagalume

I gave this talk in 2008, July the 4th, as part of the Guadec-es 2008 conference in Fuenlabrada, Madrid (Spain). The talk is about how to develop an status bar plugin for the Maemo platform from scratch, also illustrated with an already developed (and functional) plugin for the Vagalume Last.fm player.

[talk][spanish] Vagalume y Modest: dos ejemplos de aplicaciones para Maemo

In 2008, April the 17th, I gave this talk about Vagalume in the “VIII Jornadas de Software Libre de GPUL 2008“ conference in A Coruña (Spain), together with my mate Sergio, who talked about Modest. The talk just tried to give a brief and meaningful explanation about Vagalume, the Last.fm player developed by Alberto García (with some contributions for other developers, like me, from all around the world).

[blender] Igalia 3D Logo

3D LOGO NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Due to finding out that this 3D version of the Igalia logo was being used at some places as if it were the official one, which is not, I’ve decided to remove it from here to avoid further problems. In case you’ve already downloaded it before, please consider stop using it and get the official one instead. Thank
