Who are you, and what can I find around here?

I'm a young computer scientist living at the north of Spain. You should find here random thoughts about my life and my future plans. My website is cool, it does not ship useless noise and can be read in less than five minutes, try out!

You're the Nth visitor, thank you for stopping by!

Doh! did you say computer scientist?

Well, not yet. I'm very close to finish my studies of Computer Science at University of Oviedo. Even though it is not possible to establish a parallelism between foreign and local degrees, I've got something like a BSc in Computer Science and the MSc is almost done. Once the MSc is complete, I intend to become a PhD student.

But, being a Spanish guy, why is this site written in English?

Classic. I'm involved in some non-Spanish projects and, flamely, English is the universal language along the Internet.

Is there a photo album somewhere?

I'm afraid not. Google images is the most similar thing to a personal photo album. Maybe someday I will open an account at Flickr but anyway there is not much to show.

What projects are you involved in?

I'm doing humble contributions to the Debian project. Besides that, I'm doing stuff for the following projects.

From a not-so-technical side, I'm a member of AsturLinux, a local Linux user group which goal is to introduce free software to the asturian people through talks, working sessions and so on.

Are you employed?

Yes, I'm currently working at the R&D Department of CTIC Foundation. My research topics cover several aspects related to Semantic Web, specifically Linked Data.

What's your ideal job?

Every job is ideal if both topic and colleagues are excellent.

Would you mind moving out from Spain to get an interesting job?

Since the air bridges are wide enough to come back from time to time to visit my friends and family, I wouldn't mind moving to another country at all.

I'm unable to grab your résumé (CV) around here, is it online?

Unfortunately, it isn't. CVs (as we know them) are pretty outdated, so why don't you try Linkedin?. If you're still interested in my CV ask for it but, please, respect my privacy and only ask if you are really interested in its content.

Well, you are geek, what else?

Besides hack around my computers, I like mathematics, tea (Pu-erh turns me happy), and stout beer such as Guinness or Murphy's.

Ok, do you know what does the word 'sport' mean?

Sure. I like play tennis, squash, paddle and go hiking. I also watch Formula One races.

Is the silence your main inspiration source?

No way! Actually, my inspiration currently comes from bands such as Incubus, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Sour and stuff like that.

Are you a blogger?

Hehe, I've to confess that I'm a very lazy blogger. I used to throw random thoughts about technology and my life here but lately my blogging style tends to the concept of microblogging thus I recently switched to Twitter.

I'd like to interchange some bits with you, how?

Do not hesitate to contact me by mail at the following addresses:

What language do you prefer to speak with me?

Either English or Spanish. Although I haven't had a lot of opportunities to practise spoken English, I'm feeling like I'm able to hold a conversation with you. On the other hand, I fluently speak Spanish.

Do you use any sort of privacy guard mechanism? GnuPG maybe?

Yes. I'm a happy user of GnuPG and my public key is available here.

What about real-time chat such as IRC?

I usually drop some bits around Freenode or OFTC, nicknamed as chipi.

I really hate IRC and my email client is broken, what can I do?

Either fix your email client (recommended option) or try yelling at chipi@jabber.org

Anything else?

Well, it seems to be a good moment to say thanks to OSWD for the marvelous style sheet this website is formatted with.

That's fair but could you please point me to any other interesting stuff about you?

I'm sorry. I haven't much to show you right now besides my profile at Last.FM and my bookmarks at del.icio.us.

You don't fit the profile I'm looking for, do you know anyone who...?

Of course, I've got friends with similar tastes as mine. With no particular order, here are their websites. get my FOAF file by clicking here
