This blog, made of writing pieces I published online in various formats since 1996 to today, is the reflection of the various migrations I’ve experienced through my life.

In December 4th, 2005, I published my first blog post about Linux. I wrote it on Ubuntu 5.10 “Breezy” after installing it on my faithful iBook G3. Many years have passed, and I’ve become a full-time Linux user now, having used no other operating system in the past 5 years.

I gave an update on this lifetime activity of mine in 2006, 2007, 2011, and 2013, and here we go for 2023.

Developers working for a particular vendor tend to develop a bizarre version of Stockholm syndrome. It’s something I’ve witnessed at least twice in my career.

Cholila is a little town in the province of Chubut in the middle of Argentine Patagonia inhabited by around 2000 souls. It is mainly known for its National Barbecue Festival and because Butch Cassidy lived there for a while.

Quick update about my “one language per year” lifelong initiative:

Here’s an update of the current status of my “one language per year” lifelong initiative:

Exactly 20 years ago, on Wednesday February 20th, 1991, my mother and I arrived to Geneva, Switzerland, from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Me acuerdo de una fiesta en lo de Viole (una de tantas, qué se yo), allá por el ‘90, en plena época del Bilingüe (época del Austral, de la hiperinflación, del penal de Codesal, y de otras alegrí­as).

Right now, creating Universal Applications for the iPod touch, the iPhone and the iPad is not really a straightforward task.

Yup, the Migration continues. More and more developers are leaving Microsoft technologies behind, and exploring new grounds.

I came accross this interesting posting on The .NET Addict’s Blog.

This is my first post from a brand new world.
