Maybe a smaller system could be done for your car. It&#8217;d draw power from the alternator to break hydrogen into a tank, once that tank&#8217;s pressurised enough with hydrogen, when you press the gas, hydrogen could be released and sent to the engine&#8217;s cylinders (instead of Gasoline, or with Gasoline), helping you save gas.

<p>Maybe a smaller system could be done for your car. It&#8217;d draw power from the alternator to break hydrogen into a tank, once that tank&#8217;s pressurised enough with hydrogen, when you press the gas, hydrogen could be released and sent to the engine&#8217;s cylinders (instead of Gasoline, or with Gasoline), helping you save gas.</p>
<p>Another way would you could use the hydrogen would be using a hydrogen fuel cell in the car, using the hydrogen and chemical reactions to produce electricity to charge another batery, and have electric engines on the wheels, when the bateries are charged enough, the Internal Combustion Engine rests and the other engines take over.</p>
<p>Now, if this thing succeeded, I wonder how fast we&#8217;d run out of water, we don&#8217;t have enough fresh water as it is in the world, but you could probably save up to 30% gas (pulling number out of my ass)</p>

Do you get one too?

<p><a href="http://www.plurk.com" rel="nofollow"><img align="right" src="http://www.plurk.com/static/logo.png" border="0" style="margin:10px 10px"/></a>In short, it&#8217;s a twitter clone, a time waster, with a little more thought into it. Is it more complex? Maybe not, sometimes the right added functionality makes life easier for people. </p>
<h3>Why you should try it?</h3>
<p>I tried Jaiku, Pwnce, FriendFeed and Twitter, and stayed with Twitter. I&#8217;m actually proud to say that I&#8217;ve sent 6,801 Twitts that have landed me 390 twitter followers, and this is probably the hardest thing about switching from Twitter to another competitor, as good as it may be.</p>
<p>But from last week I&#8217;ve been hearing about Plurk, and today after some good web-reputable friends joined I decided to give it a try (see the power of web-prestige?), before they joined I just thought&#8230; &#8220;another twitter competitor&#8221;.</p>
<p>The added functionality might make things better, it&#8217;s probably the evolution of micro-blogging happening, and twitter needs better competition in order to get better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After Joost Support Team member under the name &#8220;Lodewijk&#8221; pretty much gave a response that told the Linux community to fsck themselves in regards to a Joost version for the Linux operating system, what could&#8217;ve been a regular <a href="http://www.joost.com/forums/p/2008/06/what-joost-says-about-linux/" rel="nofollow">Forum thread</a> became mainstream today when it hit the <a href="http://digg.com/linux_unix/What_Joost_Really_Plans_for_Linux" rel="nofollow">digg.com</a> homepage.</p>
<p>Read the response by the Joost Support Team:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Hi,</p>
<p>We&#8217;re currently working on improving the performance of the PC and Mac<br />
versions available today.<br />
Although there has been demand for a Linux version of Joost, we have to<br />
prioritize our business objectives. As a result, we do not have plans to<br />
release a Linux version at this time.</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Lodewijk<br />
The Joost Support Team.</p></blockquote>
<p>They say there&#8217;s no such thing as bad publicity, but this has turned into a &#8220;I rather go to hulu.com&#8221; comment party on digg.com, and some users say one thing that is absolutely right:</p>
<blockquote><p>dazparkourdazparkour</p>
<p>They use linux servers. They use free software.<br />
If they wanted to, they could have drafted in volunteer programmers.<br />
They take from FOSS with one hand and they give us the finger with the other.</p></blockquote>
<p>Joost could have at least put a subversion repository for open source developers to mess around with the open part of the code and at least give some instructions to run from source in Linux. As a devil&#8217;s advocate, yes, they run on XUL, yes they run on FFMpeg (with lots of different codecs probably), but there are portions of their work that are propietary and probably not ported to Linux yet.</p>
<p>Maybe this part of their technology has to do with modified versions of their P2P technology. If you fiddle a little bit with their binaries you&#8217;ll see references to Skype libraries (which works in Linux), but they must have done lots of optimizations for video streaming (we&#8217;d hope)</p>
<p>In any case, as much as I love Linux, we&#8217;re still a &#8220;desktop minority&#8221; (probably thanks to this same stupid circle of companies not wanting to develop software since we&#8217;re a minority) in comparison to the universe of Windows PCs out there. Joost is a company on a tough market, they came in early and they may have a technological advantage over their competitors, they&#8217;ll be able to scale for being p2p based, their bandwidth costs will probably a third of hulu&#8217;s, for now it will be a game of waiting for their web based version and a much needed redesign on their content navigation and search.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see if they get another round of funding this year, it&#8217;s been over a year since they received <a href="http://mashable.com/2007/05/09/joost-investment/" rel="nofollow">$45MM</a>, a hell of a lot more content is available now, there&#8217;s a limited number of ads, I certainly don&#8217;t hope they&#8217;ll pull the plug, p2p tv is one of the ways to go, the product just needs to evolve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve noticed that most of our servers have been under heavy attack from random IP addresses to break via SSH.</p>
<p>With the help of the last post on how to ban an IP, and the following python script, you&#8217;ll be able to have a cronjob that runs once or twice a day and automagically bans all the offending ips from ever trying to brute force their way in ever again.</p>
<p>touch and make executable a file called &#8220;detect_ssh_hostiles&#8221;</p>
<pre>
touch detect_ssh_hostiles
chmod +x detect_ssh_hostiles
</pre>
<p>Then copy the following code inside:</p>
<pre>
# Usage:
# python detect_ssh_hostiles [auth.log file path]
#
# Requirement: There should be &#8220;ban_ip&#8221; and &#8220;unban_ip&#8221; command availability on the path
#
# Note: you gotta have read permissions on the auth.log file and sudo
#       permissions for the script to ban the ips.

#If an IP meets this number of failed login attemmpts it will be banned
BAN_THRESHOLD = 7
SUSPECTS = {}

#Put here IP addresses you trust, could be making genuine login errors
SAFE_IPS = ['81.73.111.49','101.73.111.160','72.31.171.235','72.36.23.234','82.36.180.210','202.132.82.16']

import os
import sys
import re

BANNED = {}
def loadBanned():
  &#8221;&#8217;
  This function will load all the banned IPS into the BANNED Dict.
  It will also count how many times (by mistake) the same IP has
  been banned, and it will unban it, so that it will appear only once.
  &#8221;&#8217;
  global BANNED
  command = &#8217;sudo iptables &#8211;list &#8211;numeric&#8217;
  try:
    p = os.popen(command,&#8217;rb&#8217;)

    line = p.readline().strip()

    if line.startswith(&#8221;DROP&#8221;):
      parts = line.split()
      ip = parts[3]

      #add hit or register banned ip
      if BANNED.has_key(ip):
        BANNED[ip]+=1
      else:
        BANNED[ip]=1

  #Make sure banned IPs are banned only once
  for ip in BANNED:
    if BANNED[ip] > 1:
      print &#8220;IP %s has been banned %d times&#8221; % (ip, BANNED[ip])
      n=BANNED[ip]-1
      while n > 0:
        os.system(&#8221;unban_ip %s&#8221; % ip)
        print (&#8221;unban_ip %s&#8221; % ip)
        n=n-1

  p.close()

# &#8212;- here we go &#8212;-
loadBanned()

#read auth log
logfile = &#8216;/var/log/auth.log&#8217;

if len(sys.argv)==2:
  logfile = sys.argv[1]

  #Sample line:

  pattern = &#8220;(.*)(from\s)(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)(.*)&#8221;
  matchObject = re.match(pattern, line)

  suspect = None
  if matchObject is not None:
    suspect = matchObject.groups()[2]

    #skip safe IPs
    if suspect in SAFE_IPS:
      continue

    if SUSPECTS.has_key(suspect):
      #add a hit
      SUSPECTS[suspect] += 1
    else:
      #add first hit
      SUSPECTS[suspect] = 1

p.close() #close the pipe

print &#8220;==&#8221;*30

import time
t = time.localtime()
#(2008, 6, 6, 9, 35, 21, 4, 158, 1)

print timestr
print &#8220;&#8211;&#8221;*30
if len(SUSPECTS) > 0:
  for suspect in SUSPECTS:
    if SUSPECTS[suspect] >= BAN_THRESHOLD and not BANNED.has_key(suspect):
      print &#8220;Banning %s with %d attempts&#8221; % (suspect,SUSPECTS[suspect])
      BANNED[suspect]=1
      os.system(&#8221;ban_ip %s&#8221; % suspect)
    elif BANNED.has_key(suspect):
      print &#8220;Ip %s has already been banned&#8221; % (suspect)
    else:
      print &#8220;Suspect candidate? %s with %d attempts&#8221; % (suspect,SUSPECTS[suspect])
else:
  print &#8220;Found no suspects to ban&#8221;

print &#8220;==&#8221;*30</pre>
<p>Then add this as a cronjob of your root user, and it will automatically ban all those IPs that have tried to break in. See the script for configuration. You can always make some IPs immune to banning by adding them on the SAFE_IPS list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you&#8217;re not an iptables guru, you might want to create a couple scripts and put em somewhere on your $PATH. I&#8217;ve created two scripts called <strong>ban_ip</strong> and <strong>unban_ip</strong>. </p>
<p>Create a file called ban_ip</p>
<pre>
touch ban_ip
chmod +x ban_ip
</pre>
<p>Edit it and copy the following code inside:</p>
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
sudo iptables -A INPUT -s $1 -j DROP
echo IP Address $1 has been banned
echo
</pre>
<p>To ban an IP, you must invoke</p>
<pre>ban_ip &lt;someIpAddressHere&gt;</pre>
<p>e.g.</p>
<pre>ban_ip 211.32.44.111</pre>
<p>And the IP will be banned.</p>
<p>Do the same now for the unban_ip script</p>
<pre>
touch unban_ip
chmod +x unban_ip
</pre>
<p>Open your fav. text editor and copy the following code inside:</p>
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
iptables -D INPUT -s $1 -j DROP
echo Unbanned ip $1
echo
</pre>
<p>Save it, and use it.</p>
<p>To unban an IP, you must invoke</p>
<pre>unban_ip &lt;someIpAddressHere&gt;</pre>
<p>e.g.</p>
<pre>unban_ip 211.32.44.111</pre>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong><br />
Have sudo access, have iptables installed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your old 32-bit CPU, could address up to 2^32 memory addresses, that&#8217;s 4294967296 different memory addresses, better said, &#8220;only&#8221; 4GB, something that 15 to 20 years ago was 1000 larger than any memory created at the time.</p>
<p>Now we have 64-bit CPUs, that means they can address up to 2^64, that&#8217;s 18446744073709551616 different memory addresses, better said, <strong>16.8 million terabytes</strong> which is the same as <strong>16 exabytes</strong>, which as of now (May 2008), represents way more than the total RAM ever created for all computers summed together. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see if in 20 years, 16 exabytes will be enough, I personally don&#8217;t think so, it never is, we always laugh at the tech limitations of the past, in no time we&#8217;ll end up with 128-bit processors and I&#8217;ll leave you the homework to find out how much memory those CPUs will be able to address.</p>

I&#8217;ve probably not looked at enough variables, I just went for the GDP indicator and what I think the role of energy is in world economics, feel free to enlighten me and the audience with different perspectives.</span></div>
<p>I went to look for the definition of the word that&#8217;s in everyone&#8217;s mouth nowadays:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In macroeconomics, a recession is a decline in a country&#8217;s real gross domestic product (GDP), or negative real economic growth, for two or more successive quarters of a year&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Source: wikipedia.org</p>
<p>Aha, so recession is the consecutive <strong>decrease</strong> of the real GDP.</p>
<p>Then I went and looked for the GDP numbers to see if the real GDP of the US has had any negative economic growth during the last 4 quarters, this on the <a href="http://www.bea.gov/" rel="nofollow">BEA website</a> (U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Economic Analisys)<br />
Here are the GDP growth quarter to quarter since 2006</p>
<pre>
2006q1	4.8
2006q2	2.4
2006q3	1.1
2006q4	2.1
2007q1	0.6
2007q2	3.8
2007q3	4.9
2007q4	0.6
2008q1	0.6
</pre>
<p>These numbers from the BEA show the GDP rate of change in respect with each last quarter. If you look at the classical definition, there&#8217;s just been a slow growth, not negative grow, so we&#8217;re still not technically in recession, just in an economic slowdown. </p>
<p>The 0.6 growth has happened before (2007q1) and after that the q2 and q3 showed decent growth. </p>
<p>Maybe the economy can only grow so much its reaching a peak, what scares me though, it s the low interest rates added to the rising prices of OIL, they probably go in hand since we&#8217;re putting cheaper dollars out there so OPEC doesn&#8217;t want to loose the real value of their OIL, plus they like to abuse prices every now and then.</p>
<p>One thing is for sure, every world wide recession has been followed by the whims of the fuckers at OPEC whenever they decide to peak prices. </p>
<p>I believe a lot of this recession buzz has to do with the US elections, fear to get votes (they got us with the terrorists last time), it&#8217;s true there&#8217;s been a lot of shit happening with the mortgage crisis but that was something just waiting to happen when you give high risk loans to so many stupid people that can&#8217;t do basic math to consider all costs associated to purchasing a home while they already are deep in debt. Sadly most people in this country have no clue on how to manage their money, but I guess that&#8217;s good for the smart ones, you can sell anything to a lot of people. </p>

Shockley jtspunk.com"/>In a real recession you don&#8217;t have movies with opening weekends of +$100M while the same week people sleep inline on video game stores to get the latest video games. You go out at night, and every restaurant is crammed with people, most businesses are doing good, at least in NY I don&#8217;t see the signs of recession anytime soon, what I see if probably a little inflation coming soon if something isn&#8217;t done.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2176/2421841809_5122805b16_m.jpg" style="margin:10px 10px" align="right"/>You don&#8217;t see economy sectors like clothing and electronics have the growth they&#8217;ve recently had on a real recession (like the one I lived for years in my own country, where you have to worry about buying food day to day, and companies are closing left and right and finding a job is a blessing)</p>
<p><strong>OIL Prices &#038; US Presence in Iraq</strong><br />
The US is sitting in Iraq, <strong>&#8220;a country with at least 150 billion barrels of crude, and except for Saudi Arabia, the cheapest production costs in the world&#8221;</strong> - (Paul Roberts, The End of Oil), I believe it&#8217;s a good thing in a way that we&#8217;re there (for the economy, I&#8217;m against war by all means), but it seems even though there&#8217;s a strong US presence in the area, nothing can be done to mantain oil price stability and that could well send us in recession. Wish the government would explain one day in plain english &#8220;hey buddies, we&#8217;re gonna cut the bullshit, the war on terrorism was a nice lie we came up with to protect our economy, terrorism is the least of our worries compared to an energy crisis, we just need to keep the oil flowing at a decent price, please let us do our thing in Iraq, it was either us, or Saddam taking over Kuwait and maybe Saudi Arabia, and then we&#8217;d be in deep shit&#8221;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at the GDP during and after the Golf War ((2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991)</p>
<pre>
1990q4	<font color="red">-3.0</font>
1991q1	<font color="red">-2.0</font>
1991q2	2.6
1991q3	1.9
1991q4	1.9
1992q1	4.2
1992q2	3.9
1992q3	4.0
1992q4  4.5
1993q1	0.5
1993q2	2.0
1993q3	2.1
1993q4	5.5
</pre>
<p>During the months of the war, we had negative growth, but look how nice growth was later down the line&#8230;, and we&#8217;re still growing, little but growing. Try to grow a trillion dollar economy quarter after quarter like the US, who&#8217;s your daddy?</p>
<p><strong>Does the current administration want oil price stability?</strong><br />
The last 8 years of this nation have been run by two Oil men, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush, you&#8217;d think one of their goals would be to keep oil prices stable&#8230; or maybe not ;)</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s hope the next president of the U.S. will be able to do something about oil prices, they&#8217;re the one thing that can bring this nation down, terrorism is probably a minor threat compared to a $200 oil barrel.</p>
<p>Maybe now it&#8217;s a great time to invest, maybe not, I&#8217;ll just quote two things Warren Buffet said to Fortune Magazine in April 2008:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;when people panic, when fear takes over, or when greed takes over, people react just as irrationally as they have in the past&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I believe the media, and politics are trying to scare people with this whole recession buzz, we have to think and act rationally.</p>
<p>the second quote goes:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You should get greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Let em buzz about recession, maybe it&#8217;ll affect some stock investors, prices will drop, and it&#8217;ll be good for greedy people during fearful times. Might be good to look at that cheap YHOO now that MSFT supposedly dropped their offer, but that&#8217;s another story, and probably unrelated since the stock market is a different beast and shouldn&#8217;t really be that much coupled with macroeconomics.</p>

Amazon&#8217;s Review
Madonna’s eleventh, and final, studio album for Warner Bros., Hard Candy is a brilliant up-tempo collection that adds a hip-hop beat to the cultural icon’s club sensibilities, thanks to collaborations with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate &#8220;Danja&#8221; Hills. Following her previous studio album, 2005’s Confessions [...]]]></description>

<p>In regards to FIOS I wonder how much money they&#8217;ve wasted advertising it, it&#8217;s been over the commercials are in the air but the service is hardly available anywhere. It&#8217;s either that or the fact their website sucks and you always end up forced to make a phone call, and that&#8217;s when they loose me, I just want to order the whole thing online, why wait 30mins until somebody picks up.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to run a big company I guess, too many people that don&#8217;t give a damn about your business always end up making it bad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2085/2467896048_9dcf6276d3.jpg?v=0" align="right" style="margin:10px 10px" />Today <a href="http://www.nin.com">Nine Inch Nails</a> has released their latest album <strong>The Slip</strong> absolutely for free, this after 2 weeks of releasing free singles and making it to the home page of <a href="http://digg.com/music/NIN_Gives_Away_New_Full_Length_Album_the_slip" rel="nofollow">Digg.com</a>.</p>
<p>The music is available in a variety of formats including high-quality MP3, FLAC or M4A lossless at CD quality and even higher-than-CD quality 24/96 WAVE.</p>
<p><strong>Viral Marketing to it&#8217;s fullest</strong></p>
<p>This band knows they don&#8217;t need a big record label anymore, they have a big name and now they can pull this kind of stunts and make it all over the press, it&#8217;s good timing. Even I must admit that an unknown band will only get so much publicity by giving music for free, even though they probably should to promote and get their music everywhere possible to start making a name for themselves, small bands will make most of their money playing gigs and concerts anyway, and the same goes to big bands with million dollar concerts.</p>
<p>Now, Nine Inch Nails knows very well what they&#8217;re doing, the download process isn&#8217;t as simple as just going and picking your link, you must provide with your email address and then a link with a code will be sent back to you. Optionally you can provide your friends with the &#8220;gift&#8221; of the album and they suggest you send it up to 3 friends, thus getting themselves up to 3 more people everytime someone downloads the album.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/2467070827_842be74812.jpg?v=0"/><br />
<em>You must give your email address to download</em></center></p>
<p><center><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3237/2467070801_91d7a5de12.jpg?v=0"/><br />
<em>And they use the psychology trick of giving the album as a &#8220;gift&#8221; to a friend, and propose you give them 3 more email addresses</em></center></p>
<p>One hell of an email database they&#8217;re gathering, one which actually cares about them. Seems like a pretty good deal for their music, both for them, and for the fans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since I started programming in Javascript, and doing asynchronous function calls, I&#8217;ve found myself to be addicted to passing functions as parameters.</p>
<p>I do it a lot in python and php, it&#8217;s very easy to do this on all these dynamic typed languages.</p>
<p>I never had this concept of passing functions as parameters, or pointers to functions as parameters when I was a kid in school and we were doing stuff in C or Pascal, I&#8217;d deal with it with ifs and switches.</p>
<p>So, this afternoon I decided to read a little bit and give it a try in C.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some code for future reference If I ever need it, it&#8217;s pretty easy.</p>
<pre>
#include <stdio.h>
void this() { printf(&#8221;This\n&#8221;); }
void that() { printf(&#8221;That\n&#8221;); }

int sum(int x, int y) {	return x+y; }

int mul(int x, int y) { return x*y; }

//Function that takes a callback that uses no parameters
void callanother(void (*callback)()) {
  (*callback)();
}

//Function that takes a callback that
//takes 2 int parameters and returns int
int callComplexCallback(int (*callback)(),int a, int b) {
  return (*callback)(a,b);
}

int main (int argc, char** argv) {
  callanother(this);
  callanother(that);

  printf(&#8221;\n&#8221;);

  int w = 20;
  int h = 30;

  printf(&#8221;%d\n&#8221;,callComplexCallback(sum,w,h));
  printf(&#8221;%d\n&#8221;,callComplexCallback(mul,w,h));

  //this also works
  printf(&#8221;%d\n&#8221;,callComplexCallback((*sum),w,h));
  printf(&#8221;%d\n&#8221;,callComplexCallback((*mul),w,h));

  return 0;
}
</pre>
<p>The output is this:</p>
<pre>
~$ ./a.out
This
That

50
600
50
600
</pre>
<p>The whole trick is how you define the function that will take the other function as a parameter.</p>
<p>If you have a function:</p>
<pre>
void whatever();
</pre>
<p>The function that&#8217;s supposed to use &#8220;whatever()&#8221; like-functions should look:</p>
<pre>
void useWhateverLikeFunctions(void (*f)()) {
  ...
  (*f)();
}
</pre>
<p>If you have a callback function that needs parameters, then you define the caller as:</p>
<pre>
void callerFunction(void (*f),int paramA, int* paramB, char paramC) {
  ...
  (*f)(paramA,paramB,paramC);
}
</pre>
<p>Then you&#8217;d use the function</p>
<pre>
void someCallback(int a, int* b, char c);

...
callerFunction(someCallback,a,b,c);
...
</pre>
<p>I know this is the oldest thing in the world to C programmers, but it never crossed my mind before, so here it is for my own personal reference, I hope it serves others.</p>

<p>This playlist is courtesy of <a href="http://www.elblogo.com">El Blogo</a> who could find this album somewhere in Mexico and was kind enough to share it with us at <a href="http://www.mybloop.com">MyBloop.com</a></p>
<p><strong>About DJ Afro</strong> (taken from his official website)</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2364/2072916080_1cbbad06ef_m.jpg" align="right" style="margin:10px 10px"/>DJ Afro (A.K.A. Jose Luis Pardo)</p>
<p>If you go to a Los Amigos Invisibles (LAI), you will never listen to any Shakira or Enrique Iglesias because DJ Afro, the band’s guitar player, is in charge of heating up the party and making sure the night starts well enough to move your feet with really funky rhythms.</p>
<p>Time has passed and Dj Afro (a.k.a Jose Luis Pardo) has managed to get the party going even when LAI are not playing after him.</p>
<p>He is responsible for writing more than 80% LAI’s music, as well as playing guitar, keyboard and background vocals for all five albums. He has also been featured on Louie Vega&#8217;s &#8220;Elements of life&#8221; and Dimitri from Paris&#8217; &#8220;Cruising attitude&#8221;.</p>
<p>Aside from his work with the band, DJ Afro also enjoys a respected career as a remix producer. He just released his first solo track,  &#8220;Mala Idea&#8221; (look at you records). He has published several remixes for Dimitri from Paris, and in his remix&#8217; reel you can find tracks of Beastie Boys, Fantastic Plastic Machine, David Byrne, Radio Zumbido, Fundación Tony Manero, Sonorama, Soul Coughing, Los Amigos Invisibles, John Scofield and others.</p>
<p>As a DJ with a bag full of records that can go from Samba to Boogaloo, from Rare Grooves to Organic House to Disco, he can make people smile and start dancing almost anywhere.</p>
<p>DJ Afro has been spinning all around New York City since he moved here. He has been a guest behind the decks in parties like Turntables on the Hudson, Giant Step, PS-1, Shelter, Cielo, Suba, Remote lounge, Nublu, Pink (SF), Knitting Factory (LA), La santanera (playa del Carmen), O bar (Dallas), Sala Arena (Madrid), The Basement (Australia) and others. He has opened for Dimitri from Paris and Little Louie Vega. Nowadays, DJ Afro&#8217;s afterparties in local clubs following LAI’s gigs are becoming a standard in every city they perform.</p>
<p>Afro is also part of expansion team, a prestigious agency of top of the line producers that create music for commercial spots and films. He has produced original music for brands like Mazda, Sears, Miller, General Motors, AT&#038;T and Sony, among others.</p>
<p>He was also the mind behind CHILL OUT VENEZUELA (Gozadera Records, 2004), a compilation featuring the new scene of young Venezuelan producers that has been very well received by music lovers. He is now finalizing details on its follow up, &#8220;DANCE VENEZUELA&#8221;.</p>
<p>DJ Afro recently composed the soundtrack for “Sed en los Pies,” a short film that opened in Venezuela in late 2005, and he will be working on the music for Mexican director Luis Sanchez’ new film.  Afro’s music will also accompany Crimanesa Amoroso’s new art piece.</p>
<p>For the past two years, he has recorded a weekly radio show, DJ AFRO Y SU RUMBA BARATA, which airs in Caracas every Friday on ATENEO 100.7 FM, with great feedback. Afro is also in charge of choosing the playlists at SUBA, one of the most prestigious restaurants in downtown Manhattan.</p>
<p>Jose Luis also has a life as a journalist. He writes a column for two magazines: PLAY (Venezuela) and EL HUEVO (México) and he contributes frequently to other Venezuelan magazines like TODO EN DOMINGO and URBE.</p>

<p><strong>More About DJ Afro</strong><br />
You can read his curious blog (in spanish) at <a href="http://elafro.com/blog/">http://elafro.com/blog/</a>, which he seems to often update whenever he sits at the airport, given the titles of &#8220;Airport Chronicles&#8221; in some of his posts.</p>

The purpose seems to be having the babies grow strong. It seems to me more like a stress test, you either break or you make it.</p>

Blooploader 0.6 running on Hardy. Currently available only via subversion.</p>
<p>For our Linux users, you can safely update to Ubuntu Hardy if the one thing holding your breath was compatibility with the Blooploader.</p>
<p>Currently we run the Blooploader in Linux from source, you just need to have installed, Qt4,  sip4, and PyQt4 on your machine. If you are an Ubuntu user this translates to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Checking out the source from our <a href="http://code.google.com/p/blooploader/source/checkout">subversion repository</a></li>
<li>sudo apt-get install python-sip4 python-qt4 python-qt-4-common</li>
<li>./run</li>
</ol>
<p>For those of you that want to try the Blooploader in Ubuntu, and you have no clue on how to use the command line, we promise we&#8217;ll have a new .deb installer for our next release now that Hardy has enabled binary packages on their repository for all our dependencies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times have you tried to get a story on <a href="http://digg.com">digg.com</a> and it just won&#8217;t get anywhere, but then you see stories submitted only 45 minutes ago, and they&#8217;re already on the home page?</p>
<p>I decided to take a look at the profile of a successful digger and analize him a little bit.<br />
It turns out, just as expected, Digging your way through takes a lot of work&#8230; or maybe a lot of time wasted, depends on how you see it.</p>
<p><strong>Digg, Digg, and then digg some more</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3207/2443330610_afeb8635a9.jpg?v=0" style="margin:10px 10px"/><br />
From looking at this guy&#8217;s profile (who actually had 2 stories on the homepage by the time of this writing), it seems one of the most important things are to Digg a lot, and have a lot of important friends on digg. He hasn&#8217;t really invited any friends to join digg.com, instead it seems he&#8217;s made friends with people that actually love digg, just like him. Those are the people that will actually be digging. Also, he doesn&#8217;t really comment much.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2008/2442502817_0e4d82b516.jpg?v=0" align="right" style="margin:10px 10px"/><br />
This has been my experience too, none of my real friends do digg.com, so having your real friends on digg and begging for diggs on your submissions is probably not gonna cut it, you need the support of diggers with some sort of popularity on the site. The same principle applies to stumbleupon.com if you want to become a guru.</p>
<p><strong>Use other social bookmarking networks</strong><br />
If you check this guy&#8217;s profile, he&#8217;s also on <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com">StumbleUpon.com</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>, and <a href="http://del.icio.us">del.icio.us</a>. His Twitter  and del.icio.us accounts aren&#8217;t that amazing, but his StumbleUpon&#8217;s is truly amazing considering he&#8217;s been digging so much. This tells me that he probably diggs a lot of what he stumbles and he stumbles a lot of what he diggs.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2162/2443330652_7717f06337.jpg?v=0" style="margin:10px 10px"/></p>
<p>Check out his StumbleUpon.com stats<br />

April 23rd - Latest (probably last) GTA IV Ad

Originally uploaded by Gubatron.


Considering the game will be out in only 6 days, this is probably the last one of these ads on this building.
They&#8217;ve been advertising on this building wall for so long, I see the main character and he already seems familiar.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It doesn&#8217;t take a genius to figure out scribd.com has something big in their hands:<br />
 - Flash based document viewer (for any document format)<br />
 - Unlimited uploads</p>
<p>The result, what I call a &#8220;YouTube of Books&#8221;.</p>
<p>Just check this out, and see why Amazon has a little bit of market to loose (those who don&#8217;t really care about reading books on screen, and having the ability to search a book in seconds&#8230;)</p>
<p>Look for yourself</p>

<p>I foresee these guys being bought by Google sometime within the next two years, they certainly provide with the vision of Google, that of organizing information, and what not, and they have the same copyright issues as YouTube did, something which didn&#8217;t stop google from acquiring them at the time.</p>
<p>All we need now, is to be able to use that Scribd viewer with PDFs hosted anywhere, I would love to have that document viewer installed in <a href="http://www.mybloop.com">MyBloop.com</a></p>
