New blog interface

I like UI and I’m not gay.

Some time ago someone posted a comment, complaining about the white fonts over the dark background in my blog, which makes the read be difficult. The guy teased me, recommending an ironic page where shows how hard is to read texts like this. He was right…

So now I changed wordpress to a totally opposite theme called “White as Milk”. Yay, total white and easy to read now! Let’s see how long I’ll get sick of that interface.

my dear diary... (some not-so-old memories)

Portland, OR

I was so proud for the forth time be part of the X crew, this time in Portland. Really amazing the city. I had the opportunity to play tourist and visit some nice places.

My X conferences

BTW, I just collect the photos of all four X conferences that I’ve attended. It’s not much photos but there’s some funny things :)

X on embedded

The cool thing of the work that I’m doing at Nokia is that I can publish and discuss mostly all X fun with the open source communities. “Mostly” because, for the last device - the N-shiny-and-awesome-900 - for instance, the video driver is closed (provided by Imagination), so we cannot comment much regarding such driver stack :( C’est la vie.

multiseat with multiple X servers (or "the right way")

So last week I posted on lkml an old patch that we were carrying for a long time in the Linux community. It basically brings the multiple (old) video cards functionally again on Linux and X server (and this time doing on the right and beauty way). For the people that was following multiseat implementations, this is a HUGE step: we will finally be able to discard the old and ugly hack (a mix of Xorg, several Xephyr servers + evdev) and and go to a clean way, starting multiple X servers in parallel. Cool! Well, not that much, because it might take some time to be in your beloved distribution :)

personal news

Being quick about my last months: finished my Master course, moving to Helsinki tomorrow (!), got my first real job. Yessh, three great steps in my crazy life and I’m very happy with it! Hope to stay closer with the desktop communities again ;)
