Nuevos albums en Jamendo

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Bueno, me da gusto anunciar que he subido nueva música a mi página de jamendo.

Uno es un disco de remixes (pedido por c-quel); en el cual incluí los remixes que él me pidió para su gran juego: CameliaGirls.

El otro es mi release para este año; o, lo que va de él? ;) Se titula “Dos por 10″.

Pleanéo releasear el disco de mi banda: introbella, ahí también; muy pronto!

No veas mi post! Ve al link de OpenStack!!:
http://www.openstack.org/

Si señor, en una carta bien redactada, me informaron de ésto hoy y, al parecer, hoy fue el release! Que chingón! Además, la licencia es Apache 2.0! Wuju!

El OpenStack es un software que permite manejar implementaciones considerables de maquinas virtuales. Según esto, la NASA lo está usando! (wow!)

Espero ver este tipo de software en Fedora y demás distros pronto!

Un gran sitio para aprender música!

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

No mames! Me topé con un gran sitio para todos aquellos músicos que no sabemos ni madre:
http://www.musictheory.net/

Éste sitio, además de ser Creative Commons, es MIT; o sea, el código fuente; hecho en ruby, está disponible! Wow!

Ojalá y lo pudiéramos traducir al español! Ya contacté al autor para ver qué onda.

Reconocimiento a los Bomberos de Guadalajara

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

El otro día, en LinuxCabal, se inundó!

Estuvo muy dura la inundada. Fué una de las peores en años. Terminamos sacando, a empujones, los carros de Carlos, Roberto y Arturo; el de Ludwig se perdió…

Después de esto, el RescateCabal se puso a apoyar a todos los valientes que se metieron al río en sus carros! Estuvimos todo el día ahí!

En la noche, ya cuando el desmadre se aligeró, Richard empezó a sacar el agua, a baldes, del pasillo de LinuxCabal. Los asistentes a LinuxCabal nos pusimos a ayudarle y estaba muy difícil la situación. En eso, llegaron los bomberos y nos ayudaron a sacar el agua a baldes! Se la aventaron completa!

Por si fuera poco, además, nos ayudaron a limpiar el lodo con escobas y toda la cosa. Richard les dió unos muffins para que se alivianaran!

Un gran reconocimiento a los bomberos porque, ya era tarde (como las 23:00) y le dieron duro como hasta las 02:00 solo en LinuxCabal. Después de eso, le siguieron con otras cosas.

Son personas amables y servciales los bomberos de Guadalajara. Hay que estar orgulloso de ellos!

Una guía para músicos en Fedora!

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Me acabo de dar cuenta de que, una guía especializada para músicos en GNU & Linux; específicamente Fedora, está en desarrollo.

Al parecer, la idea es que, los músicos, sepamos, en detalle, cómo configurar nuestro Fedora y qué herramientas estarán disponbiles.

Te invito a participar. Ellos requiren de ayuda para el proyecto y necesitan testers y todo esto.

HowTo install Google’s go in Fedora 13

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

First of all, Google’s go sounds cool. It’s expermental but on production within google. It seems really cool and th paradigm change is awesome!

Please, visit: http://golang.org/

Note: we will have to rebuild the current src RPM)

1. Get the source RPM
wget http://konradm.fedorapeople.org/fedora/SRPMS/go-0-0.20100609.fc12.src.rpm

2. Setup your rpm building environ (more info at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo)
rpmdev-setuptree

3. Install the src RPM
rpm -i go-0-0.20100609.fc12.src.rpm

4. Find the spec file and build it
rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/go.spec

5. Find the rpm and install it
su -c 'yum localinstall ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/go-0-0.20100609.fc13.x86_64.rpm'

There you go. You can install, optionally, the go-vim or go-emacs package (in that same dir).

If you think you know a better way of building it, please, suggest and/or comment here. I’m no package builder…

Planeando tu viaje en México

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Hey!

Estoy impactado! El gobierno mexicano hace cosas chidas también!
http://aplicaciones4.sct.gob.mx/sibuac_internet/ControllerUI?action=cmdEscogeRuta

Es un planeador de rutas. Te dice por dónde te vayas, cuánto será de tu caseta, cuánto de gasolina y la ruta en un mapa!

Está bien chido! Por favor, escríbanle al admin sugiriéndole cosas chidas! Yo le sugerí:

- Trabaja más cerca de google maps, map quest y demás.
- Provee maneras de accesar los datos (JSON, RSS, ATOM, noSQL, CSV, etc)
- Hazlo FOSS
- Que sea colaborativo
- Que haya APIs

Ahora, es muy fácil criticar. Vamos a proponer!

Good advice

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

I’ve been thinking,

I want to set up a website with good advice. One that attracts people that think things like: “I don’t want to live”, “I feel lost” or “what should I do with my life?”

I’m sure people google this from time to time… I have…

So, here’s a good idea:

Let’s set up a website and ask the search engines for help. The website should contain good advice: religion agnostic, well fundamented and written texts. With the necessary colors to make you feel comforted and, maybe, some music.

The website should be a first result and take you, immediately, to it (kinda like the “I’m feeling lucky” feature by Google). It should include no propaganda, google adds nor any “read more” links. Just plain “get you up” texts; devised by specialists in the matter.

Maybe the UN or some international organization would lend a hand. The texts should be translated in all languages. Possibly, it could have links, in the texts, foreseeing possible reactions, for example, a reader, in the middle of it, could think “but I don’t believe what you said” and, the link would elaborate, in a special way, so, the reader, could get more interested or convinced.

The cases that should be firstly developed should be suicide cases or similar desperation cases.

So, for example, let’s say I’m thinking of killing myself and I google “I want to kill myself”. This good advice website should appear and let me read a bit… maybe watch a video and some nice music.

Another case, let’s say Susan looks for “I feel lonely…” the website would present her with a relevant text/video whatever…

Anyway, just an idea that I think it’s worth exploring.

Open Letter: Audio development unification proposal

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

I’ve tried, in numerous times, to contact different audio companies and get them to develop their products for GNU & Linux. These companies are: M-Audio (Avid), Propellerheads Software, Ableton and Digidesign (Avid).

The petition, usually, was that they should count us in… and, that, didn’t work.

Ok, here’s a new approach. What if we, all, collaborate on a charity project to produce Free and Open Source audio software?

You could centralize in a non-profit organization with the following commitments:

Develop Free and Open Source Software for those who can’t afford your products

Look at this as a charity project. You could try and develop, alongside with your fellow competitors, a piece of software that would let people with low resources, to be creative and produce high-quality music.

Join forces with the competition and learn from each other

Ok, so you compete… right. What if you let your developers work together? I’m sure you could learn a lot from each other and gain ideas for new products.

Provide ground for testing and experimental design

You know your devs have millions of great ideas! Why not let them implement them on their free time; on a pice of software that would have tons of people providing feedback and working along with all of you to make round up these new features? Come on, you could get great code!

Besides, you have the possibility of learning from new technologies like Lv2, jack and others. I’m sure you would expand your horizons as a company and would have happy developers; working for a better world!.. a more musical one at least ;)

Give back, the Community, and let them give you

This spells benefit for all sides; all the time. People with look at you as better companies and, the Community, takes care of their companies! We support them and we develop with them; we stay with them when software fails and help them repair it; we rejoice and make parties when victorious! We rule!

Conclusions

I’m sure and, if your leaders read this, they will see the great benefit in working together with your fellow competitors. The Community can give back a lot of man power to you and you could expand the knowledge and horizons. The benefit goes back to your products, the community and the users!

Please, consider on making a non-profit organization where multiple audio companies can work together. I’m sure you can see benefit in the near future.
