Mis Impresiones de 300

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Cono vi 300 en Imax.

Creo que fue bien, pero no como para verla dos veces.

Los graficos muy arrechos, la pelea brutal, excelentes slow motions, pero no veo motivo para volverla a ver en el cine de pana. No te deja picado en lo absoluto, es una historia muy sencilla, supongo que es lo que se espera de una pelicula de batalla.

En algunas partes pude hacer analogias de contexto politico, pero nada que ver, cualquier debate o rumor que sale en las noticias que la pelicula tiene tinte politico me parece que son interpretaciones de fanaticos.

Mi veredicto seria el siguiente para cerrar:

Buenos efectos especiales, composicion y fotografia

Buena Pelea

El publico gay se va dar banquete, puro macho papeao y depilado corriendo en interiores, y el rey de los persas es un rolo e negro marico que se saca las cejas.

PS: Una anecdota al mejor estilo Larry David en Curb Your Enthusiasm. Cuando venia de vuelta, entra un pordiosero a pedir real en el metro, se para en frente de mi, y pillo que en un bolsillo del pantalon el carajo tiene un celular, le digo a mi novia, pilla la vaina, tiene un celular, cono e su madre, para verificar que es la parte de arriba del celular se me ocurre sacarme el celular del bolsillo, justo en ese momento, el carajo voltea y me dice “Thank you brother”, y yo no tenia ni un centavo en el bolsillo y le digo “Sorry, I’m just taking out my cellphone”, y en eso el carajo me dice “Another Fucking Pretender”… y yo por dentro “EL CONO DE TU MADRE MALDITO MOJONERO TIENES UN CELULAR TU TAMBIEN”, en eso el tren se mueve, y se le caen los reales en mis pies… jeje, recojo los reales y se los pongo en la mano, y el hijo de puta no me da las gracias, me vuelve a decir “Fucking Pretender”… de vaina empieza a sonar el theme song de Curb Your Enthusiasm.

svn: Can’t create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified.

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

I was trying to checkout a project from a subversion repository using Eclipse’s Subversive, and I was having problems with a subversion url that starts with “svn+ssh://”

This means all the transport has to be done using a “ssh” agent.

Eclipse’s Subclipse plugin was giving me the error:
svn: Can’t create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified.

To solve the problem I recommend that you…

Use a pure Java SSH Agent

In Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Team > SSH > SVN Interface > SVNKit (Pure Java)

However it seems its possible to…

Use Tortoise as your SSH agent

Go to your Windows Environment Variables settings (Computer -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables) and add or set the variable SVN_SSH = c:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe

(the double slashes are very important!)

Then make sure eclipse is using the native (Tortoise Plink’s) ssh agent:

This is set here:
In Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Team > SSH > SVN Interface > JavaHL (JNI)

Once Set and applied, Restart Eclipse, and checkout your project.

Only problem is (at least I found), that when you try to check out, TortoisePlink will prompt its password window, and there’s no way (that I know for now) to specify the user name. I tried putting in the username on the svn+ssh://user@server but when I tried, Eclipse told me that the path already existed. You probably need to delete the repo and create it again in eclipse. But since it already works with a Pure Java SSH agent… fuck it.

2 Consejos

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

El primero es un consejo Geek.

Si quieres ver archivos de ayuda en HTML compilado tipo Windows, pero en Linux, es decir abrir archivos .CHM en Linux, utiliza xchm.

Para instalar en Ubuntu, es tan sencillo como hacer sudo apt-get install xchm, luego solo invocas el programa y abres tus archivos .CHM.

El segundo consejo lo escuche de Deepak Chopra en un canal de Joost. El dice que una definicion de Neurosis es hacer una misma cosa una y otra vez y esperar tener diferentes resultados… (para mi esto es correr Unit Tests ;) ), pero llevandolo a la vida el consejo lo que te dice es que intentes hacer cosas diferentes todos los dias, que tomes nuevos riesgos y evalues sus impactos. Has cosas diferentes y tendras resultados diferentes.

Episode 053 – La Tati salva la patria

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

Download en mp3 | Suscribete GRATIS a este podcast | Skypeanos

Diggeanos!!!


Un callejon en Tribeca, NY (muy cerca de la estacion de Bomberos donde grabaron Ghostbusters :) ) – Me parecio curioso ver el suelo de un callejon lucir tan limpio gracias a la nieve.

Esta semana la Tati salva la patria y nos trae el episodio completico. Quiero acotar que personalmente ya considero a la Tati como toda una celebridad o estrella naciente de los nuevos medios informativos del internet (Blogs, VideoCasts, Podcasts), no me extrana que la veamos en un par de anos inclusive en la TV o en Radio normal.
Todo un exito, y me enorgullece que se haya iniciado en este humilde podcast :)

La Tati Presidente!

Gubatron’s IQ Score

Friday, March 9th, 2007

General IQ Score

Damn it, I was good but took too long, If you don’t put the time penalization my General IQ is 146. I feel limited, I wanted to be above 150 :(

I get to be a bit special but not too much, since I read this somewhere on the internet:

“Only approximately 1% of the people in the world have an IQ of 135 or over”

Here’s the explanation of my results:

Your General IQ Score of 139 shows how able your mind is in general. Anyone with a General IQ Score this high is considered to be gifted. This score is better than 99.53% of all persons taking this test. Virtually all occupations can be comprehended with a General IQ this high. You should be able to handle almost all academic challenges.

You scored higher than your General IQ Score in 12 individual ability categories. 5 of these better scores could be called statistically significant and may indicate special abilities, or that you were distracted on those parts of the IQ Test that counted more heavily in the other ability categories.
Arithmetic

Solving many of the IQ Test’s problems required the ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers mentally. Many mental tasks require arithmetical operations even though numbers may not be involved, and thus number manipulation abilities can strongly indicate general intelligence.

Your Arithmetic IQ score of 149 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.95% of all persons taking this test.
Spatial Skill

Understanding what changes will occur when conditions vary is a deep and powerful ability of the mind. All invention and creativity of every sort is based upon this ability. Although test problems usually involve manipulation of objects in space, persons with a stronger ability to spatially manipulate can also be expected to use this ability to be able to better predict how social and psychological situations would change due to variation.

Your Spatial Skill IQ score of 144 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.83% of all persons taking this test.
Logical

This is the ability to determine if a set of rules has been correctly followed. This ability is most useful in combination with other mental skills listed above. Those with strong logical ability are quicker to see where a given set of conditions is going to lead, have a strong sense of justice, and better understand–from an intellectual analysis–the benefits of harmony.

Your Logical IQ score of 148 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.93% of all persons taking this test.
Spelling

The ability to spell can indicate general intelligence. Remembering a set sequence of letters indicates the mind’s ability to retrieve remembered facts. Learning how to spell and use the words of a language is almost a complete IQ test in itself. Although poor spellers with high IQ scores can be found, it is rare, and in general–everything else being equal–the better spellers have higher IQ scores.

Your Spelling IQ score of 149 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.95% of all persons taking this test.
Short Term Memory

The ability to remember things for a short period of time allows the mind to check back and retrieve facts needed to complete a problem solving operation. This ability becomes more critical when problems have many aspects that need consideration and/or need to be solved mentally. This ability strongly determines how efficiently one handles the many aspects of normal life. If your short term memory ability is strong you are much less likely to seem inattentive or “slow to get it” to others.

Your Short Term Memory IQ score of 144 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.83% of all persons taking this test.
Rote Utilization

This is the ability to take a set of memorized facts and mentally extract and/or operate with or upon the facts within the set that are pertinent to the problem at hand. Persons with more of this ability can be expected to spell well, remember telephone and other numbers easily, be more adroit in procedural operations, and have a stronger foundation for tasks that require the use of memorized material.

Your Rote Utilization IQ score of 151 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.97% of all persons taking this test.
Algebraic

This is the ability of the mind to abstractly handle quantities and qualities. Persons who are strong in this ability can more quickly and more deeply understand analogies, stories, derivations, equalities, and hierarchical structures.

Your Algebraic IQ score of 149 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.95% of all persons taking this test.
General Knowledge

Knowledge that is casually picked up and remembered can indicate intelligence, because persons with higher intelligence will exhibit greater retention of those pieces of information that are encountered less often. Because higher intelligence allows a person to have a deeper appreciation of the connectivity of facts that may seem disparate to others of lesser intelligence, memory of such facts becomes easier.

Your General Knowledge IQ score of 147 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.91% of all persons taking this test.
Visual Apprehension

This is the ability of the mind to mentally picture visual information and to be able to extract portions of that information for separate use. A person whose visual apprehension is strong enjoys a richer, more creative appreciation of visual aspects of experiences.

Your Visual Apprehension IQ score of 145 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.87% of all persons taking this test.
Geometric

How well one can comprehend geometric relationships of lines, sides, planes, angles, and topological properties strongly determines one’s ability to make sense of visual information. The strength of one’s geometric ability can strongly determine how quickly knowledge can be absorbed if it is presented visually.

Your Geometric IQ score of 142 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.74% of all persons taking this test.
Vocabulary

Knowing the meaning of words is an ability that directly increases along with the increase of general intelligence. The meaning of a word is more easily remembered with higher intelligence, because it takes more intelligence to understand and correctly use words based upon the subtle differences between words with similar meanings and to comprehend difficult concepts which are sometimes symbolized by a single word.

Your Vocabulary IQ score of 144 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.83% of all persons taking this test.
Intuition

Intuition is defined as that ability of the mind to develop answers to questions without consciously dealing with the problem at hand. Often a question will provoke your mind to answer without using conscious processing time, and the answer is said to come “out of the blue” or “suddenly, it just struck me”. Of all the many abilities of the mind, this is one of the most often used. Just knowing what to do is often an automatic process that occurs without much conscious figuring. Those with stronger intuition make less mistakes and can seem luckier, wiser, or more mature.

Your Intuition IQ score of 143 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.79% of all persons taking this test.
Computational Speed

If you can correctly solve a variety of problems faster than another person, you may be demonstrating a generally more orderly internal arrangement of your mind’s problem solving methods. While speed cannot be the sole factor in determining overall superiority in one mental operations, in general faster computational speed will often indicate that a problem’s comprehension was more complete. With everything else being equal, a person with faster computational speed than another person’s will be better at tasks that require the synthesis of many bits of information.

Your Computational Speed IQ score of 53 is significantly lower than your General IQ score.This score is better than 0.09% of all persons taking this test.
