Hablando hace unos minutos con Antonio en el canal de #mono-hispano (en irc.gnome.org), saco algo a la plática que me resulto muy interesante, tener un tipo de entrevista (o algo asi) con la gente de #linuxpreview (en irc.freenode.org), hasta me envio un link de los programas que han sido grabados, los cuales por cierto son buenos. Se me hace buena idea, claro que se necesitará gran cantidad de organización; además de eso recomendo algún tipo de charla cada X temporada de tiempo, una buena idea, para aquellos que se interesen en saber de algo en particular.

Yo por mi parte ya he comenzado a pensar que podemos hacer para que mono hispano continue con esta buena racha de apoyo, Fabian me pregunto también eso, yo diria que siguieramos con el estandar del ECMA del CIL, aunque bueno ese esta orientado a personas que quieran saber cosas más técnicas, también esta el de GTK# que se ha iniciado por ahi, el que esta organizando Fabian de C#, agregando cosas nuevas y actualizandolo. Yo por mi parte sigo con el de Aplicaciones Empresariales, haciendo un estudio acerca de que deberia llevar, en algún tiempo verá la luz, yo digo.

Hoy aprendí: ‘Ya son 367 días.’

Finalmente, después de haber esperado casi dos meses para este dia, me preparo para salir de viaje, como lo había dicho antes salgo a las 22:40 hrs en un viaje que aunque hará paradas en cada terminal aproximadamente cada dos horas, eso significa despertar cada 2hrs, pero bueno, es el que debia de tomar pues era el que aun tenia espacios libres.

Por otro lado en Mono Hispano, he agregado algunos XML recien traducidos al CVS para lo del estandar. Dado a mi ocio he hecho una pequeña gráfica que indica el crecimiento de actividad dentro de la lista de correo de Mono Hispano

Representa la cantidad de kb almacenados mensualmente dentro de la lista, se puede ver claramente que en estos meses ha crecido. Bueno ¿no?

Hoy, después de casi 1.5 años de funcionamiento, el Cluster Nopal, ha dejado de funcionar, cambió de un bello cluster de máquinas-Pentium–recicladas a un conjunto de máquinas inservibles. El Nopal se ha secado.

Hoy aprendí: ‘Sin Tuna1, Tuna2, Tuna3, Tuna4, Tuna5, Tuna6, Tuna7 y Tuna8 no hay Nopal.’

Tristemente en esta semana no he hecho gran cosa, la universidad me esta comiendo vivo y los examenes me quitan la juventud, pero a pesar de eso he terminado el capitulo 17 de la traducción del ECMA de C# de Mono Hispano, y referente a esto estoy impresionado, porque ahora veo que solo faltan 6 capitulos para terminar la referencia completamente, de 2 semanas atras he visto un increible aumento de apoyo dentro de la lista y la comunidad mono-hispana en general. He decidido adoptar un nuevo capitulo, otro de esos largos que nadie quiere tomar por miedo a nuncar terminarlo, en esta ocasión es el capitulo 14.

De igual forma he visto a Fabian muy trabajador, componiendo errores gramaticales y ortográficos dentro de los .xml de la referencia (claro que yo también he corregido algunos errores de mis capitulos y de los otros traductores), todos esos errores detectados gracias a una pequeña aplicacion (la cual puedes obtener del CVS de doc-ecma-csharp en LuCAS) que Rodolfo hizo en C# usando el poder del XML, obviamente con mono para detectar inconsistencias en los terminos utilizados dentro de la referencia.

Por el lado de MonoUML vamos lento con UML# Mario Fuentes sigue ocupado y yo me sigo preguntando en que se me va tanto tiempo, aunque claro ya tengo pensada la solución para hacer las asociaciones entre elementos gráficos, solo falta implentarla. Mientras que por la ciudad de Xalapa, el grupo Xalalinux esta organizando un Install fest para el dia 6 de noviembre de este año, queda cordialmente invitada toda la gente de Veracruz, México, y claro que de otros paises también.

Hoy aprendí:: ‘Muchos gastos, pero aun asi me ire de viaje. 10 dias y contando. ’

This is an old new, but I’ll write anyway, Mono Hispano‘s new website is up and running, Fabian had done a really nice job, everyone in the monohispano’s list want to help, maybe the site will change a lot the next days, I hope seeing more features

Two days ago, while I was doing homework, I used the nice Java (I also like Java) for doing some oriented objects programs, I want to use C# but at school there isn’t any C# compiler, and I can’t install it because of the user’s privileges, and I don’t like Delphi nor Visual Basic, so I decided to use my old oriented object language: Java. It isn’t fast but I like it anyway, also the new version has a nice look-and-feel for Swing. Give it a try.

MonoUML is still inactive, both Rodolfo and Mario, are busy, so am I. I really want to keep developing this project, I like it very much, If anyone want to help, download it through cvs everything is there, then suscribe to the mailing list and tell us about it.

I learned today: ‘I still like Java’

After playing with GIMP and the mono‘s logo, I’ve decided to change my weblog’s header as you can see. You can get the GIMP2 file and create your own, have a nice day.

SUPPORT MONO HISPANO!! Vamos hispano-hablantes, apoyen la tecnlogía, apoyen a Mono Hispano, ¡¡no sean puristas!!.

I learned today: ’11 months of pure love. ‘

Nowadays, I’ve changed, all my purism had gone, I’m using .NET, learning that the technology must be learned even from Microsoft. Microsoft had changed a lot, I mean, its windows is still the same, many bugs, many random hangs, many viruses, it’s still the same, the same awful thing, the most awful used thing. The Microsoft Corporation, now, releases its technology for everyone, does not stop new free implementations (such as mono for .NET) (well, none yet, maybe in some years, MS will suit Novell and GNU), I’m not happy watching all those new .NET developers migrating to Unix, but I like seeing that more people is supporting Linux/Unix as primary developing operating system.

Yesterday at school, I used Delphi, I DON’T LIKE DELPHI NEITHER VISUAL BASIC, but I decided to use it and learn it (for fun), at least for knowing a little about new tools; after using it for almost two hours, I understood why everyone loves Delphi/VB: Drag&Dropping, nothing else, and I also understood everything about new developers’ knownledge; I’m sure that all those people (Delphi/VB developers, at least most) doesn’t know anything about inherence neither polimorfism, nothing about the oriented object paradigm, I don’t know all, but I try to use the “most difficult way” for learning, maybe I’m wrong, but here at school everyone is the same, “Drag&Drop Developers”.

Then, I started to think.. “We need tools like this”, I think that Linux is a huge for new business projects, now the big corporations supports Linux or *BSD, in Europe Linux is used as most as MS Windows, and what about here? People had heard about Unix, they think “Unix” and start to think about the “black screen with white text”, Unix is not the ugly duck it is cute swan, but the end-user doesn’t think that, the end-user doesn’t care about Unix’s processes, Unix’s security, Unix’s scalability, they only want to browse, chat with their friends and hear some music… and write some documents.

I hope that someday, everyone have free choosing for selecting its own OS, I would like to hear “I want Debian preinstalled in my computer”, it will be nice, but it might be impossible.

MonoUML is recently inactive, reasons?, Rodolfo Campero, Mario Fuentes and I are very busy, Rodolfo with his job, Mario Fuentes and I with school, and… What about the other MonoUML members? We don’t know anything, I’ve heard that Manuel Cern (ceronman) is developing some new UML# widgets, will we have sooner a new commiter? Maybe.

I learned today: ‘Purism is not good, we need to learn, and learn even from Microsoft.’

Today I’ve finished the i18n tutorial using GetText#, you can get it from here it’s written on spanish and was made for monohispano, the tutorial may be at the monohispano’s site sooner, you’ll see it online, I hope =P.

By the way I’ve started to code the MonoUML’s widgets, you can get a little piece of my work here, as you can see, it is a simple widget of an UML’s actor. I’m waiting for the serialized sample of some UML element which will be done by Rodolfo, when he finish doing it, I’ll mix it whith the new widget for testing purposes, I’ve been trying to do some other more complicated widgets, such as the Use Case with an editable label, but until today it hangs with an awful output, I hope solve this as quick as I can.

I hope to release the first MonoUML’s piece in at least in two months, we don’t want to release a don’t-working applicaction, and now, everyone is going back to school, I’ll go to back at wednesday, I won’t have too much time for coding at least in the week.

The serialization coded by Rodolfo, works and it does pretty well, he and I were talking about the UML2′s XMI, we agreed that is too new for using it, but we will use it anyway =), we’re a kind of uml2-pioneers, Rodolfo said something that make laughing: “Espero que no estemos meando fuera del tarro”.

Anyway, we will keep working in our project, by the way Arjan (the diacanvas maintainer), ask us about our project, the project is getting famous, =P, it’s cool isn’t it?

I learned today: ‘We’ll finish MonoUML anyway’

By the way: The code of the actor class is here use it carefully and don’t forget to give me a few credit for using it, if you don’t want.. well don’t do it X).

Update: (07:52AM GMT -06:00) Fabian had updated the monohispano’s site, and now there’s the i18n tutorial.

A lot of xml tags and and a lot of content translated, too many text translated. I’m translating the chapter 9 and 11.
I’m using my “new” computer, an old PIII (350MHZ), with an updated BIOS, still works but… there are some problems using large disks,

anarquia:/home/marioc# mount -t auto /dev/hdb3 /OTRO_A
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb3, or too many mounted file systems

I learned today: ‘do it again… ’

Recently I’m part of the monohispano team (I guess ), I’m translating some chapters from the ECMA specification for C#. By the way, I changed my mind, I’ll use the mono/gtk#/diacanvas# for building the CASE tool

I learned yesterday: ‘people are allowed to change their opinion’
