Cuba + Linux = Cuba Libre
Jun 03, 2005I completely missed this little nugget:
"Cuba will gradually switch to the open-source Linux operating system for its state computers, eliminating its exclusive use of Microsoft Windows, the government daily Juventud Rebelde reported"
If they succeed with this migration Cuba will become (I believe) the first nation to completely go Open Source! Maybe Brazil will be next???
More Material For My Thesis
Jun 03, 2005My previous post talked about how our lives are getting registered in the internet, free for everyone and anyone to see. Today I learned about this site which has only strengthened my “thesis.”
"is an ongoing community art project where people mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard."
Some of these so called postcards are the scariest things I’ve seen online in quite some time… Rather disturbing…
Cyber Archeologists Will Google Dig
Jun 02, 2005Having read this yesterday on how Google has become such a major presence in our life style, today’s article in the NY Times showed me yet another facet to living in the 21st century. I can only imagine future archeologists performing “cyber-digs” in order to study civilizations from our time. Why travel to Egypt if you can uncover everything there is to know about the pyramids from the confort of your house using Google search and maps?
Picasa 2: Cool UI
May 31, 2005I needed to do some image editing the other day and didn’t feel like installing anything “big and complicated” like Photoshop or PSP. Google’s Picasa software came to mind and I quickly downloaded it on my laptop. I misy tell you that I’m very impressed with user interface. Not as much with the features (which by the way are just enough for your daily crop-resize-remove red eye needs) but the looks of it!
The Little Penguin Wine
May 31, 2005Almost forgot… The other day I went to the public booze market and saw this little fellow:
Didn’t have a chance to taste it but if it is as good as some of the other Australian wines I’ve had and robust like Linux, then it should be great! =)
