Holy shit!, almost a month without posting something!!. Well, this post will be about me, so, you can safely skip it.
I think the reason why I haven't blogged anything is because I just don't have enough time . Way too much work and the spare time I prefer to use it with Cristina and my lovely daughter Sofia.
First, the work with ICTC is getting a bit hard, we have to release the Invoice system right now, we took our time, it is getting great but, we are taking too much time most cutting the hard corners and creating a great user experience. I have to tank to Manuel, my beta tester, he is great doing his job. I'd like to talk more about this invoice system, but until it gets released I can't say anymore. I went to Salamanca to work on it, and, as usual I met with xbitcarry.
My grandmother got sick, she is quite old, and the health problems that comes with the age are showing on her. She has a heart desease and diabetes. Fortunately she is under control with medicine.
I'd like to work on night, to me it's the best time to work, nobody bothers you, no heat, no sound, no tv, no radio and of course, the broadband is all yours!!. If I had to work with people in the other side of the world it will be great to me :-).
I bought a couple of books, one if for python testing, the other is about django. Both great books, but Python Testing starts with doctest, which for me, is old, I prefer unittest. Django.. I think I can do several stuff for the family business using django, some web pages and desktop applications :-).
Which took me to the family business. I'm not going to talk too much, but the fact that I'm working on some software, I'm involving to my brother, he is a computer systems engineer like me and also like to do some programs.
Yesterday, my laptop harddrive got broken, some bad blocks shown and my virtual machine (for testing) just can't boot up. I try to copy the .vmdk files but was impossible. Using bad blocks and reiserfsck didn't help. At the end I used the seagate's check tool (the one that boots freedos), fix the bad blocks (took more or less 2 hours while badblocks took 8:30 hours!) and then use
reiserfsck --rebuild-tree.
to rebuild the partition. My files are there, but some other files that I deleted quite long time ago are back and some files where overwrited by and old version. My virtual machines got corrupted and some system files where missing. I will replace that hard drive this week, I can't trust on any hard drive with bad blocks.
