Bad luck!!!

I had no luck this time with peacock eggs. But I'm going to try again and again until I succeed. Tomorrow I'll start with hen eggs.

Network names

I have finally assigned a name to my computers using the characters of Code Lyoko. The desktop machine will be called "Odd". The laptop "Aelita" and the eeepc "Yumi". The old computer will be called "Franz Hopper"

To make it official I have changed the names in my homepage at The Linux Counter

My next computer will be called "Ulrich".

Fedora 10


Last weekend I installed Fedora 10 in my laptop. It's awesome!!! I had it in a usb pendrive and used it a lot, mainly in my eeepc. I finally decided to try it extensivelly in everyday tasks. So far, so good... I'm really enjoying it. Although I must admit I must refresh my rpm practice because it's a bit rusty.

Today I thought I needed to find a name for my computers. I used to name them chalsattack1, 2 and 3. But now that I own 4 machines I have to improve this naming convention. I think I'll name them after the characters in the Code Lyoko tv series: Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita, Yumi, Odd... I'll finally decide about it during this week. No need to say it's one of my favourite series.

Egg turner


Yesterday I got an automatic egg turner for my incubator. Unfortunately it is not recommended for turkey or duck eggs for they are quite big. So I'll have to continue moving them manually. It's ok, but I'm sure that in the future, once I've learnt how it works, I'll be able to use it with bigger eggs than just hens size.

The good thing about the egg turner is that it saves a lot of work and besides you do not have to be constantly watching your clock. It turns eggs every four hours.

A day at the beach!!!





Rainy day here so I went away to the beach with my uncle. Had a nice sunny day there. Altafulla beach is great.

I have bought a male goose. The male I had, died unexpectedly during the spring. So I needed a companion for the female. They don't have a name yet. Any suggestions welcome.

And last but not least today at 9:30 I have started hatching eggs with this fantastic incubator I got last week. I hope to hatch a thousand eggs. This first time it's peacock eggs. Wait for results in 28 days. Fingers crossed.

The beginning of summer!

Today summer begins!!! It's been a long day, I mean that the sun was still shining after dinner which is not very usual.

Today I've written an article about Opera Unite, a new technology embedded in the web browser that allows you to share files, photos or even music without using any server, from browser to browser or let's call it a different name, from peer to peer. It's an amazing step forward! from my humble point of view.
