		<title>Python with elegance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These last three weeks have been really stressful for me due to various reasons. Anyway, I managed to get some spare time to do something funny, like the self-replicating script posted in the previous entry.
Sometimes, when we&#8217;re working on a problem, we need to denote a variable with an uknown value. C and SQL uses [...]]]></description>

		<title>Self-replication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reading an article linked from Barrapunto (a Spanish Slashdot-like site) entitled Reflections on Trusting Trust it came into my attention the paragraph about self-reproducing programs. The author of the article,  Ken Thomson says:

More precisely stated, the problem is to write a source program that, when compiled and executed, will produce as output an exact [...]]]></description>

		<title>¿Y quién protege a La Ciencia?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[El detrimento de la economía española, que no parece tocar fondo, ha hecho que entidades como la SGAE busquen nuevas (y en mi opinión injustas) formas de lucrarse a base de nuevas tasas de dudosa justificación.
No voy a arremeter aquí contra la SGAE (busca en Google si quieres, que hay páginas de sobra) ni de [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Economía Caótica</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;La actual crisis está poniendo de relieve también la incompetencia de muchos de los profesores, que durante años han explicado ficticios modelos de competencia perfecta con mercados que en condiciones de libre competencia se ajustan automáticamente, y que ahora tienen que vérselas con la difícil realidad ante las preguntas de los alumnos: ¿Por qué el [...]]]></description>

		<title>Changes abroad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you enter this site from time to time you have surely noticed I don&#8217;t post very often. Even more, post are short, rather uninteresting and sparse.
The reason is that maintaining this blog bilingual takes considerable time and effort, and I&#8217;m a really busy person nowadays. Even more, since Spanish is my mother tongue, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>3D Fractals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re used to see 2D Fractals. I remember using Fractint fractal generator in the 90&#8217;s and getting excited about the images like Mandelbrot or Lyapunov.
But now some people have extended de 2D mandelbrot fractal to a 3D complex space, obtaining these beautiful (and somewhat creepy) images:

There&#8217;s also a video animation wich shows a fantastic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Retroparty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend I enjoyed attending a Retroparty (yes, we met with our old computer-vintage machines).
You probably know some retro events already. In Spain the most known are RetroMadrid (named MadridSX previously), RetroEuskal or RetroMañía. Even Tenerife Lan Party had a retro section this year.
I’m going not to extend my self in this topic very much. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eduard Punset y &#8220;La Felicidad en Tiempos de Crisis&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, I attended a talk by Eduard Punset a Spanish ex-politician and, currently, a notable popularizer of science, who presents a TV program called Redes (networks). He came to Tenerife to talk about &#8220;Happiness during time of crisis&#8220;.
I recorded a short video during the talk (only in Spanish, sorry):
One of his witty phrases was: [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Gomera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend I stayed in La Gomera island. The weather was very nice, and the stance was peaceful and relaxing! I took these pictures, and hope you enjoy watching them.
Anyway, the pictures don&#8217;t even do any justice to the place!

		<title>JP09 &#8211; Parallel Computing Conferences 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I attended the National Parallel Computing Conferences 2009 (JP09) as I did last year. Again, I must thank to my university, which payed to us (a group of pre-PhD researchers) the trip and estance. I talked about OpenMP again and some problemas with Dynamic Data structures, extending the previous work and trying to [...]]]></description>
