Sometimes I like to treat this blog as a personal one and write down things that might affect in fundamental ways our future… or at least my own future, potentially. Anyway, I’m currently living in Peru and had a series of meeting over the last two months with the new Electronical Government Office (ONGEI). Can’t […]
Migrations on production systems is one of the most complex thing there is in the field of software because it requires all-in-one system administration, database administration, software development and quality management, each at a high level of skill. We generally delegate a certain level of quality management to the customer (because they’re most qualified in […]
In just three weeks since the announcement of the split between Dokeos and Chamilo, Chamilo has already received support from many organizations and independents that seem to have thought alike for a long time. We also received about 10 successful patches in this period, which is more than I can remember receiving in the whole […]
So that’s it, after leaving Dokeos and starting the Chamilo project, I will now be mostly writing on this blog (here) rather than on this one, and will link the Chamilo-related posts directly to the Chamilo website as soon as I get a chance to play with Feeds on Drupal.

I started using InPhonex, a VoIP provider for individual customers, about 2 years ago because I needed a professional phone number in Lima, Perú, and there were very little providers for this kind of number at the time.

Today I found Loop11.com (through a job advert in the Australian Web Standards Group mailing), an interesting site allowing for user testing (for $350) of your site for up to 1000 users. The application puts a JavaScript layer on top of your website and requires you to define tasks for your users to complete (without […]
I can’t resist posting a link to this blog post Takes around 1 minute to read it all… Great effort from the author. Comparative installation of simple cards game under Ubuntu and under Windows.
Found on ZDNet…
I received an e-mail from someone at the GPL-violations.org group, regarding an inquiry I made about a company that might be infringing GPL with an unproper use of Dokeos. Basically they’re telling me I should investigate the case with people that have previous knowledge of GPL violations case in a country where the company is […]
