A couple of friends recently asked me why I’m not writing ‘often enough’ anymore. Come to think of it, I guess it can be summarized as a bit of a ‘reality check’ with the whole blogging thing and the kinds of blogs that live out there on the Internets. And what kind of stuff I’m [...]

Funny how new ideas tend to revert back to the old ways on the web, as the trend-movers realize that they weren’t as bright as they seem at first sight. Dot-com is the only flavour that apperantly works (even at the brink of an opening for more flexible url formats in process at ICANN. Old [...]

I guess I feel a bit relieved for knowing I’m not the only one that misses a “quick search” button on paper books. Nicholas Carr’s brilliant essay on how the way we crunch information on the Internet is changing the way we think is simply scary, because IT IS HAPPENING. Not necessarily a bad thing [...]

How come people fool themselves to think that they are intelligent beings and won’t repeat the errors already done in the past - that is still a complete mistery to me…

Ah, the new Internet and their participative users. While some focus on helping OTHER users better use the services they love, others form real fanclubs to support their web heroes, working around the clock to keep services alive and resisting the bad weather of diggin’, slashdottin’ and plain usage hammering. Pizza and Twitter FTW!

If you ever needed to generate PDFs dinamically on a Rails app, one of the easiest (and possibly more elegant) PDF generation Rails options you’ll find is using the PDF-Writer combo. The good thing with that combo is that you can go and define your PDFs as views using a different extension (.rpdf is suggested). [...]
… I won’t be laughing at the lies when I’m gone And I can’t question how or when or why when I’m gone Can’t live proud enough to die when I’m gone So I guess I’ll have to do it when I’m here.
