If you have ever tried to play Starcraft on Linux (using Wine) over Battle.net you must have seen that the interface looks very bad and the text is very hard to read. In my case, I was even unable to sucessfully start a game. So I and my friend decided to try a “local” game […]
The Free Culture X Conference and Unconference took place the past 13th and 14th of February at the George Washington University, in Washington, DC.

It looks like my future is bound to the social web… or perhaps the Internet is what is bound to the social web. The site is powered by Plone, IMHO, […]
This is one of the web apps you wonder why nobody has invented it before. Have you ever tried to arrange a party or work dinner for a lot of people? It’s so difficult to find a day when everybody can attend… Doodle has come to help you! It provides you a easy-to-use schedule and […]
¿Alguna vez se han preguntado como se decía Mozilla? ¿O lo raro que era pronunciar “weird”? ¿No entiendes el alfabeto fonético? Pues hay gente que ya se ha dado cuenta de que hay un pozo (de desarrollo o de dinero) en este tema y por eso han creado Forvo. ¿Qué es Forvo? Pues un diccionario […]
CC by nc sa de Ron Schott en Flickr Llevaba tiempo intentando no soltarlo, porque no me gusta (mentira) ir contando por ahí cada cosita que me pasa pero… ¡Ya es oficial! He entrado a formar parte del equipo de gestión de internacionalización y localización de Flock, lo que se traduce en que voy a […]
