Yahoo it’s moving!

In the very first days in the Internet, Yahoo! was a reference for everyone. A lot of bits has been passed since then (who remembers AltaVista, that now belongs to Yahoo!) and now we’re living a Google era.

I’ve just read -in spanish- that Yahoo! will offer Movable Type for companyies bloggers and few days ago I read that Yahoo! has buy del.icio.us. I think that they’re moving in the right way. Those movements are ok, but still we’re in Google days. Why? Google it’s doing things first.

Google offered a free blogger tool time ago, free email (not new, but very cool interface and bigger accounts than nobody), feed reader, google maps… I’m convinced that Yahoo has a great potencial, but … what they have to do to get back their leadership?

DefCon at work

This days I’m laughing with this DefCon entry at Microsiervos. I’ve download this PDF’s file, printed it, and we’re using it to indicate our stress or crisis situation.

Looking for an explanation I’ve found that Microsiervos, have wrote an Article about acronyms and abbreviations where they explain many geek acronyms, and among others DefCon, that stands for Defense Condition.

Also, you may have a look on this memorable quotes from WarGames where they’re talking about Defcon levels…

Laugh it’s an important thing, and after a very hard time at job I needed a lot

BOFH Position

It has been a great thing, I was showing what BOFH is, to a colleague, when I found that my spanish traslations has been positioned upon original Simon Travaglia page.
You may have a look on this by following this BOFH search from Firefox in spanish

Updated I noted that it happens just if you’re using Firefox in spanish, and Google.es

About Blade Runner

In spanish

Mi mujer no es geek (creo que yo, lo justo), el otro día conseguí que viera Blade Runner.

Le explique un rollo. Que es una pelicula sobre las grandes preguntas, ¿de dónde venimos? ¿quiénes somos? ¿nuestro “creador”? … que vamos haciéndonos a traves de la mirada de Rick Deckard (Harrisond Ford).

Ella me dejo de piedra: no has entendido nada, nosotros somo los replicantes

Seres grises con vidas monotonas, creados en serie, el combate, para el placer, para el trabajo que no quieren los auténticos humanos (¿quienes son los auténticos humanos?)… con fín conocido, en el qué y en el cuando.

Nosotros somos los replicantes

Les he enviado a Microsiervos un mensaje como esta entrada.

Advertising issues

This days I’ve read a few importants blogs arguing pro advertising inside blogs and against advertising inside blogs. Although money it’s needed to keep a blog on, also money may influence a blogger main stream, in order to get more link or advertising, or in order to hide negative question for your supporters.

Both positions are clearly differents and seriously founded on. I’d never try Ad-sense advertising as a way to get money, this blogging activity it’s just for fun I’d like to keep it in that way, even more, I’m convinced I’m offering to much links at right column and prefer to keep my personal links, not comercial one’s.

Note: if my UOC english teacher it’s reading this I’d appreciate you corrections ;-).
