ycdtosa at work

It's been more than 10 months since i started to work with the I+D departament at EUPLA. There i've been spending most time working with Javier Cuevas and Joseluis Vela on the design of a new workframe (codenamed elisa) for rewriting the software of the Racing Bravo system.

Not only that but the proper design we came out with did allow us to write the workframe code fast and then (slowly) migrate most of the old code. Even more, Javier coded a new windows client for the Racing Bravo based on elisa, proving one of the core goals of the new design: it works on windows and linux.

Anyhow, now we must go further. All the development team will have to be coding it's own private projects on top of elisa, and access to someone else's is forbiden (weird isn't it).

When I got involved in this project, I proposed the use of subversion for version control. I think most of us find the change from cvs to subversion a step ahead, but now, the new scheme has make working on the common svn repositories some how dificult, and we have to keep local repositories on our own boxes. I find subversion a bit unsuited for this new kind of work...

Now, after much reading around i'm going to try svk. Let's see what happens.

OMGWTFBBQLOL

i just found a that nice story. lovely!. So now i'm dumping some more hints on google blog search on top of it.

tools i use every day

My web browser has been firefox for some years now, and not so long ago i changed my e-mail client to thunderbird.

In general compressed files have been mostly managed with 7-zip for quite some time too.

Music Entertainment came via the very nice and lite audio player foobar2000, while some cd playing has been done using the notifycd a very very lite cdplayer with freedb support.

firefox 1.0.3

this is a very simple but convenient upgrade of firefox as explained at adot's notblog* it fixes the mess on the Add/Delete programs windows UI and some other issues.

IE7

Well, everybody knows that IE7 is around the corner.Will i have to 'recode' all the web's i manage to get them working on IE7 ?

Anyway i hope to get the latest MSI distributions of Firefox working soon, and then some 200 firefox-ready computers more. by the way... this is the latest url I could find

I won't be removing IEWhateverVersionThereIs, because, let's face it. There still some sites that don't work on Firefox. I know it is not ffx fault, but some users need to use those sites, so IE is staying for now.

Ben 'Googler'

OK, so Ben Goodger, (or should i say "Ben Googler"?) just disclosed his secret: Google snaps up top Firefox programmer and that means him.

The second battle is about to begin, and some how i feel sad. Having Ben on the Google side of the force doesnt feel good. Maybe Google is getting too big for being appealing anymore.

Anyhow, it seems like google's move on a big adventure. I just wonder where are they going? and are they taking firefox with them?.

Good luck to both and let's hope for the better.
