After waiting for about a month in the prospective customer queue, we finally moved to Slicehost. Slicehost is a fast, made-from-geeks-to-geeks and XEN powered virtual dedicated servers provider.

We’re quite happy with the change, we got a new machine with four times more memory for the same price and we also moved from Apache to Lighttpd. All the references from Slicehost we read were good and, at least by now, I second those thoughts.

Skyhusker made an awesome work migrating the stuff and all the services are already moved. Of course, we’re running Etch.

Thanks to…

• Ricardo Cárdenes, the man who linked me to Debian development world and, of course, my advocate.
• Moray Allan, my responsible AM.
• The NM Staff (Myon, HE, Ganneff, Elmo…)
• My usual sponsors: Ricardo, Ana, Amaya, Mones, Gunnar….

I hope to write an small report about the NM process with my impressions and opinions soon, so stay tuned. By the way, if you are planning to join Debian and you’re able to meet me, I’m offering GPG key signing since today :)

Finally, thanks to all my #dudes!

The main reason is that my concept of free and free software is really closer to the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and, unfortunately, CC licenses terms don’t match with them very well (issue discussed since months ago in debian-legal and summed up in this document).

After the first contact with my teacher (a man aged approximately 55-60), he suggested me to check the position of the rear-view mirror and the seat (as normal). Note that my experience driving cars tends to zero, anyway he said:

Teacher – OK guy, start the engine, set first gear and go-go!
Me – WTF!?!?

I was a bit scared when he said me this, because we were in the middle of Gijón, with tons and tons of traffic. After a while zig-zagging between cars, vans and buses, fighting with the clutch-and-accelerator-mixture issue and hearing “Nacho, please, go slowly” the class reached the end.

It’s a bit annoying when the teacher helps you with pedals because it’s impossible to know how exactly pedal behaviour is.

In a few words, could be better. I’ll continue improving my skills next week.

I will definitely put this function on my final year project, to see how dummies comment its usefulness with any context available.

In short, the Internet is not suitable for everyone skilled to type with a keyboard.

On the 12th September Rob Levin, known to many as Freenode’s lilo, was hit by a car while riding his bike. He suffered head injuries and was in a coma. Rob was being treated at the Neuro Trauma Intensive Care Unit at a local hospital in Houston, Texas where he passed away on Sept 16th.

Our thoughts are with Rob and his family, and we ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time.

And you… how many?

Something like this was the first that i heard before board Cares (one of the tugboats), which took us to Alameda’s stern to tug it to Marcelino León’s dock.

I’m really grateful with everybody who made this possible, take a look to a small piece of this incredible experience.

To this number we should add all the external feeds that, with this set, daily fill AsturLiNUX’s Planet.

Hard rock hallelujah!
