Get-2-gether in VLC

Posted in valencianosfera by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Jun 30, 2008

Although this blog doesn’t speak Spanish neither Valencian (my mother-language), and it hasn’t many visits…, and most probably none from Spain, not to think Valencian Community, here it comes.

 

Xavier Llinares, after initiating the ‘Valencianosfera‘ (Valencianosphere) project, proposes a get-2-gether (that’s it, an excuse to talk about what most we like drinking a few beers). I hope I could attend!.

 

 

 

"Se propone poner en marcha una Valencianosfera quedada, para que podamos vernos las caras y compartir un rato juntos.

 

 

 

¿Donde? En El Dorado, en la Calle Alzira, 25

 

 

 

Día: Jueves, 3 de Julio

 

 

 

Hora: 19 h"

 

MicroLinuxSoft?

Posted in open source, software by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Jun 15, 2008

Is the middle future Windows version a Linux distribution?. Will we see how all MS software works natively in their own Linux distro?. There’s plenty of possibilities to make money there for Redmond’s company…

 You know quite a few companies are basing their business releasing enterprise distros of their free-gratis open source linux versions (i.e. RH or Novell), so it would make sense that a company with uncountable versions of its OS could follow a similar strategy in the near future, that could be followed by a MS-Linux-like experience.

Not so Empty but Disappearing?

Posted in jokes by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ May 23, 2008

Quantum physics has just brought me to the conclusion this blog is not so empty at the end of the day; it’s just it’s full of posts and anti-posts that come and go out of existence so fast RSS can’t get hold of them.

Now, I’m just hoping the Casimir Effect is not going to make ‘FM Waves’ an extinguished blog…

Gray Hair is not Necessary Though!

Posted in consulting by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Apr 27, 2008

I have read quite a few texts on how to become a consultant in the late years, and some would recommend you need the following (right-hand side on the equations is mine):

 

do

   +Expertise == sKillz U lIf3

   +Knowledge == real training NOR resume | (curiosity OR insight) € brain3

   +Self-motivation == guts + balls <-> willing to HARD WORK ¥ client/project

   +People Skills == ß("Emotional Leadership")

loop while wanting to be a consultant

 

So, where’s the need for "gray hair"? (trust me, some articles use it as a metaphor for the equation). Don’t matter!: At my thirty-odd age I have some of my own already!!!… and the rest.

 

Think Twice

Posted in jokes, me by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Apr 23, 2008

From now on I’ll try not to blog on the first think that comes to my mind. And, as the guys from wikiHow say, I won’t unless it is…

 

 

Effective (and as a economist I would add Efficient)

Necessary (and could we be adding Needed?)

 

Accurate (I can’t help it, so probably if it was me, it’d be Arrogant)

Timely (if it’s JIT, better)

Appropriate (refer to the first A if you’re me)

 

Of course, I’ll start first thing tomorrow morning. At the moment I just broke a couple of ENATA rules.
