Puppy linux

This week I've been playing with a wonderful toy: Puppy linux (v.4.2 k 2.6.21.7) I know it's more than just a toy. It's a full featured linux suite, only that it's small and lovely.

I discovered Puppy linux long ago, maybe five years or so. I took it really seriously in 2007 when (I learnt) it could be installed into a flash drive. I tried it in deep and even wrote a howto (in Spanish) for the asc website. I spent hours and hours playing with my puppy.

This time I have almost exclusively used it in my eeepc 701. I burnt the iso image onto a cd as usual and using the universal installer I prepared a bootable pendrive of 1 GB. It works great, the only thing is that I haven't been able to configure the wifi card so far. I know it is perfectly possible because I have read somewhere that puppy is suitable for the eeepc, but no luck so far. I am sure I'll be able to do it during the Easter holiday. I'll have lots of free time for my little puppy. By the way, this version of puppy looks very much like Vista. It's done on purpose for linux newbies.

Have a nice Easter break and don't eat too many chocolate eggs. Bad for your tummy!!!

Penguin Speakers

Look what awesome speakers I bought at the Chinese shop last weekend! Aren't they cool?


To tell you the truth I was looking for a stuffed penguin for my Toyota but I couldn't find any. I made this great discovery though. Besides, they sound well. They even have a 3D  button which highlights sound.



I'm thrilled LOL

El Vedadet

"El Vedadet" is the name of my cottage. It is also the generic name of the local area where it is located.


A very dear friend of mine has sent me this present done by himself in his spare time. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

No News is Good News!!!

I haven't written for some weeks now but I've got the perfect excuse this time. I'm looking for a new car. I mean that I have finally decided to bid farewell to my old bucket and get a primered flames sports car.

I have been considering several options but I've cut it down to these two: i30 or Auris. I like both. I'm leaving you several pictures in the hopes that  you help me decide.

This is the lovely Hyundai i30. 

I think it is awesome.

 Out of this world. 

I like everything about it.

Happy birthday!!!

Today I have designed this "Happy birthday" card. It's not awesome I know, rather on the contrary it's a bit naive, but I wanted it to be simple and straightforward. I've  just sent it to my 9-year-old nephew and I think I've accomplished my mission.

I'm working in a completely different version of the card. It's kind of an abstract thing. I'll publish it if I think it's worth it. Wait and see.

Using my credit card (A little bit)

Today I've upgraded to weebly pro. So far I only intend to use the favicon.ico pro feature because it's a really nice thing. Maybe I'll take advantage of some other features some time later  but I have upgraded because this site has a real good vibe. I like the way they treat you, I love the fact that they don't put limitations to your free account. Well to cut it short they do really deserve it (and much more).

I have also made a small donation to the debian multimedia team. They also deserve it. They do a great job maintaining the greatest multimedia repository there is out there. I use many of their packages and they work great. I know this small quantity does not make a great difference because they devote a huge amount of time and effort to keep the site up. But I hope to keep contributing in the future.
