fragility

I know that apart from the usual “delicious link posts” this blog hasn’t been active, but I’m not giving up on it or anything. Like I wrote before, I blog when I have something worthy, and not just because I have to keep the blog active.

However, my main reason for not blogging has been the extreme lack of time I’ve had lately. That’s what you get for trying to do a thousand things at the same time. But I’m happy with how things are happening and coming together, so it’s been worth it.

Apart from work I’ve been doing, I’ve finally managed to actually start doing something with Python: a desktop app I’m developing with a friend (and which I’ll write about some other day) is almost done and Django is waiting for me a web project that it’s still on it’s planning phase.

Speaking of which, I’ve also had the chance to meet Ricardo from zone41 and I guess me and the other guys involved in that same project met him at the exact right time. Once again, more on that some other day. Everything’s still under wraps, but things are shaping up and I’m really confident in this.

In other news, my newly acquired laptop’s hard drive died. Yup, the thing was only 3 weeks old, and those nasty badsectors came along. It’s the third hard drive that has died on my possession in the last year, and the second 2.5″ Seagate (the other one was a 3.5″ Maxtor). Since the store didn’t had a replacement and the laptop is pretty much out of stock everywhere, I sent it to the warranty service trough the store where I bought it, but I’m now thinking I should’ve contacted Sony directly. Thanks to my good friend Miguel, I’m not “laptopless” and I’ve been using his 15″ HP which reminds me once again why I wanted to get a smaller laptop so badly.
