Mon May 26 18:49:31 2008 OK, I can't boast about my creativity since it tends to zero, but this why I'm not publicist.
Sun May 18 09:24:06 2008 Políticos, comerciales, autoridades religiosas, abogados... Hay mucha gente interesada en llevarnos a su terreno, que pasemos por el aro y arrimar el ascua a su sardina. Por supuesto siempre hay de todo, los hay honrados, pero ¿qué me decís del que aprovecha las circunstancias para, mediante razonamientos truculentos, hacernos comulgar con ruedas de molino? ¿Cómo lo hacen? Son lo que se llaman falacias lógicas, razonamientos que en un principio parecen válidos y lógicos, pero que si nos paramos a analizarlos veremos que no se sostienen y hacen un mal uso de las reglas de la lógica. Son frecuentemente usados cuando no existen argumentos reales para captar la simpatía hacia determinadas posturas de personas no entrenadas en los vericuetos de los enfrentamientos dialéticos. Así, por ejemplo, tenemos una de las falacias lógicas más recurridas, el argumentum ad hominem, que consiste en atacar a la persona en lugar de rebatir sus argumentos. Uno de sus usos más comunes consiste en que una idea deja automáticamente de ser válida en cuanto la apoya un adversario, lo que quizás podría entenderse como una especie de caso opuesto al argumentum ad verecundiam. La falacia de circulus in demonstrando, dialelo o pescadilla que se muerde la cola consiste en demostrar una afirmación usando premisas cuya validez se demuestra a través de la propia conclusión. Cum hoc ergo propter hoc consiste en afirmar que la coincidencia de varios eventos establece una relación entre ellos. La bifurcación o falacia blanco o negro es la falacia del tipo "o conmigo o contra mí", una interpretación maniqueista de la realidad considerando que sólo existe blanco o negro, buenos o malos, ... no existen términos medios o alternativas. Y para ilustrar estas falacias lógicas nos ha sido ofrecido recientemente un excelente ejemplo:
[Rosa Díez es] una mujer de derechas [...]. No comparto ninguna de las propuestas que está haciendo en el Congreso de los Diputados. Ninguna de ellas. Sin embargo, las comparte el Partido Popular y muchos de los medios de comunicación que están al lado del PP y que la sacan en todas las portadas y en todos los noticiarios".
-- Patxi López. Se puede comprobar la presencia de las falacias lógicas anteriores, aunque puede ser difícil teniendo en cuenta que algunas falacias se sostienen mediante premisas "demostradas" según otras falacias:
Se podría rebatir el argumento también desde el punto de vista político, histórico, ... pero son aspectos más subjetivos y por eso no voy a entrar por ahí. Desde luego, tampoco tengo ningún interés en entrar a valorar a ningún político o salir en su defensa. Creo que no es pertinente ni necesario. Tan solo, en estos días de la inmediatez y en los que el tiempo es oro, recordemos reflexionar un poco y juzgar con pensamiento crítico la información que por todas partes nos llega y nos inunda sin que nos de tiempo a procesarla y asimilarla correctamente.
Wed Mar 19 13:55:04 2008 This is a post that was in my ToDo list 'cause I said I will leave SDF-eu to be hosted at HyperPHP because I've read they offer free PHP and MySQL without advertisments. And according to my last comment it seems that I was satisfied with that server, but the story didn't finished yet. This server does include banners and pop-ups in hosted pages, but I didn't noticied because I've blocked their advertisments. Then I moved to x10Hosting, where they actually offer free hosting with PHP (very limited) and MySQL and without advertisments. In fact they offer three hosting plans: ad-free, with ads and paying. And, of course, when something goes wrong (which happens very often) the first to fall is the ad-free hosting, so my webpage was more time down than up. So I finally moved to 000webhost where they only offer free hosting without ads and, after few months using this host, I'm really happy with them. They provide good PHP, with MySQL, cPanel, etc. Stable and with a good support service, the only objection is that it doesn't work with Lynx, but I suppose that I should live with that.
Sun Feb 10 18:30:17 2008  Genbeta, Méneame, Error500 y Enrique Dans están entre las víctimas de un ataque DDoS por advertir a los usuarios acerca de algunos servicios fraudulentos para MSN Messenger. La reacción no se ha hecho esperar y la entrada se ha reproducido por gran cantidad de páginas, así como las muestras de apoyo. Actualización: Ricardo Galli (de Menéame) ha llevado a cabo una interesante labor de investigación en colaboración con elserver.com documentada en su blog. Esta es la entrada en cuestión, que se ve que hay a quien no le ha sentado bien:

Do you remember the web 15 years ago? The advertisments were almost unknown, like spaghetti webs. As the web became more popular and with the dot-com boom it was needed a way to finance so much hype, and then was when massive advertisments arraived. Nowadays we are in a situation where, except some blogs and personal webpages is hard to find a webpage which doesn't have, at least, some Adsense block, which is not the worse we can find, because then there are pop-ups, ads trying to install malware or that epileptic scams. And cases like Terra, which joins many of the features cited previously (spaghetti web born with dot-com bubble with a high mediatic hype and following crash) with rectangle ads which breaks its confuse structure. Or other sites with so many advertisments (usually focused in the same topic) that it's hard to find page contents. All this caused the appearance in browsers of content blockers, like the one Opera includes or those you can add to Firefox with extensions like Adblock Plus. However, Opera doesn't include the option to download and update blocking lists through Internet, as Adblock Plus does, but you can find contents lists in Internet. Since I discovered Opera content blocking I was adding URLs to mi content filter trying to avoid false positives, and now I post it here so you can download it if you are interested. Requires restarting Opera. Download urlfilter.ini
Wed Jan 2 16:15:50 2008 Update: This workaround is no longer needed with Opera 9.5. Google has recently developed a new Google Docs version and if you though they seized the opportunity to improve (at least a little) compatibility with other browsers, you couldn't be more mistaken. Actually, it went worse with Opera. If previously was enough by adding ?browserok=true in order to enter Google Docs with Opera and mask it as Internet Explorer to use Spreadsheets, now it gets constantly reloading with Google Docs and Spreadsheets is only usable with a poor read-only interface (masking Opera as IE throws errors). The first problem has an easy workaround: it's enough by adding a new string in the URL which must be different every time browser is started. I don't know a solution for the second issue yet. And in order to make it easier for Opera and Google Docs users, I modified João Eiras' script that patches Google services making them Opera friendly to add this workaround. By installing this user script in Opera you will be able to use Google Docs and other Google services with Opera. Download fix-google-services-and-docs.js Reference: Google Docs constantly reloading in Opera @ Google Docs Google Group

Fragment of IEBlog The news spread on the specialized media: finally, almost two years later than the first browser doing it (which wasn't neither iCab, Safari nor Konqueror but Opera), Internet Explorer 8 will pass Acid 2 test. The title of the only proof offered by Microsoft (since the browser is not yet available) is conclusive: «Acid 2 test pass complete». The corresponding post on IEBlog doesn't either left any doubt: «IE8 now renders the "Acid2 Face" correctly». Exciting. Will it be the beginning of the end of the headaches of web developers trying to make our web pages work on (sadly) the most used web browser keeping web standards compliance? I need to check this, 'cause if it's true, it will be, as the title of the post on IEBlog says, a milestone. Lacking better ways to check it I get the best proof offered by Microsoft: a video showing MSIE steps towards a right renderization of Acid 2 test. Lacking a better way to check the current renderization I have to assume that the last image appearing in the video is the one they say that passes the test. But, what I am seeing? A scrollbar. Scrollbar which shouldn't appear because of overflow: hidden property applied in Acid2 test to the whole body. So, no, MSIE 8 doesn't pass Acid 2 test.
Tue Jan 1 11:00:53 2008 Today I will become narcissistic. Because, who being bored haven't any time googled his/her name? Looking for my real name, besides a canarian papel maker, there is no much more that doesn't refer to me. But anyone aspiring to be someone in Internet must choose an original, unequivocal nickname. Since originality is not my talent, as a fan of The Simpsons, I tried at a first time with homer there by the beginnings of IRC-Hispano whien I don't konw yet who was that Scytale that was in all channels, but since that nick was taken, showing my originality, I derived it to h0m3r, and this was what remained. But as time passed I began to detest it, it's uncomfortable and too l33t. So when Fonso renamed me as Chuso (whose etimology I won't explain now) I accepted it and took as my new nickname (though I still usually use h0m3r as username for historical reasons), but it was a surprise to discover that it wasn't as unusual as I expected. So I'm known in the global village mostly with this two nicknames ('cause sometimes I'm forced to choose other username), and like me, many other people. Specifically, to whom may be interested and to avoid mistakes:
OK, Fonso, let's see if this is enough to shut your mouth up, now I passed you the buck. And yes, I know I have some unattended projects, and even the web page needs some fixes and improvements, but now I haven't enough free time to take care of these issues I consider as hobbies.
Sat Dec 1 20:57:38 2007 Me entero en Barrapunto de que, al más puro estilo Axpe, Ausbanc parece que pretende querer borrar de Internet todo rastro de sus turbios negocios, ya que, tras Bolsacinco, El Economista y Mi cartera de inversión, le llega el turno de pasar por los tribunales a la comunidad financiera Rankia. El caso es que si esta cuadrilla de bandoleros aficcionados a poner el cazo se ha propuesto la difícil tarea de limpiar su maltrecho honor y el de su presidente, ya pueden armarse de boli y tacos de 500 folios, porque si buscan Ausbanc en Google podrán observar que tienen trabajo para rato.
