Es uno de los primeros movimientos que se llama acariciar la crin del caballo.

Hacía mucho que no escribía en el blog. Esta es una foto de mi sobrina de un mes cogiendo la mano de su madre.

En Abril de este año y aprovechando la celebración de la 30 Maratón de Madrid. Se ha creado oficialmente el grupo Ojetedigital, formado por Santi, Angel y yo mismo.

Ojetedigital es un grupo de fotógrafos con el cual expresamos la calidad de nuestras fotos, o sea un "ojete". Pero las cuales nos sirven de excusa para acudir a eventos, tomarnos unas cervezas y lo que se tercie.

Hemos creado un grupo en Flickr llamado OjeteDigital en el cual subiremos nuestras mejores fotos, que por supuesto, son muy malas.

Un post que me he encontrado via Digg y que me ha resultado muy interesante para no tener que copiarme todos los link's a del.icio.us

The open source model has, over the last 20 years, proven that collaborative development is one of the best ways to incorporate the newest ideas and latest concepts into design.

In fact, the open source model, which began with programmers, has been so successful that it is currently being applied in government, media, education and private business. But despite these new applications, the unique combination of the open source model with the universalism of web design remains one of the ideal applications of open source. This pervasiveness of the open source spirit in web design now means that you can use open source software to design both graphics and your CSS and HTML, and you can also use the dozens of reliable open source code resources or thousands of templates to base your own designs on. In this article we highlight 100 open source web design tools, resources, and templates.

The Best Directories of Free Open Source Design Templates

There are tons of free design template directories on the net, but sorting through all of them can be a very tedious process. Instead, we suggest that you start with these four, which we consider to be the best free open source design template directories online.

1. OSWD: Over 2,000 of the best freebie web design templates. Also allows for search capability by color, contrast, validation, and other categories.
2. OpenWebDesign:A large and active community of individuals who share free web design templates. Includes regular design contests and a sub-category of most popular designs to speed up your search.
3. Open Designs: Headed by a non-profit board, the open design community has almost 600 designs which have been vetted and moderated by the community’s volunteer board. Also includes a relatively active forum where designers can share tips and resources.
4. CSS Tinderbox: CSS Tinderbox prevents you from having to “reinvent the wheel” by providing very basic, yet solid, CSS/XHTML design templates from which you can build off of.

Open Source Web Design Programs

Why pay for software if you can find it free? Usually, the answer is that the free stuff just plain isn’t any good. You won’t find that to be the case with the open source web design software programs in this section, however, which are all the best of the best.

5. Nvu: An open-source web authoring system to rival FrontPage and Dreamweaver. (Linux, Windows, and Mac)
6. Cssed: A CSS editor featuring auto completion, syntax highlighting and validation. (C, C++) (Linux)

Post original

Esta es una foto de las Cuevas de Artá, en Mallorca.
Para que no hubiera trepidación puse el ISO alto y apoye la cámara en una barandilla. A la foto no se le ha tocado prácticamente nada. Solo una pequeña mascara de enfoque.

Hace más o menos un año que tome esta foto. Fue cerca de la Roda en Albacete de camino a Alicante en una escapada de buceo. Paramos en una gasolinera para reponer fuerzas en el camino y justo al lado, junto con una puesta de sol, había estos nuevos molinos de viento. Unos simples toques en la temperatura del color y un ajuste de niveles en Photoshop han dado resultado esta foto.
La cual me recuerda que hace mas o menos un año que no buceo y ya va siendo hora

Datos:
Modelo de la cámara: Canon EOS D30
Fecha en que se tomó: 2006:06:02 22:25:08
Tiempo de exposición: 1/39 sec.
Valor de apertura: f/10,0

Se ha elegido este día por que hoy hace 30 años que se estreno La Guerra de las Galaxias una de las mejores película de la historia (por su argumento, por sus efectos especiales, por que cuando la vi cuando era un enano fliple en colores) y también por que es la película que ha dado mas frikis a este mundo.
Que tengas un buen día friki y ...

¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!

Cada vez sale una versión de Ubuntu, flipo como se lo curra la gente de Canonigal y el equipo de desarroyo. Todo ello para hacer una distribución de Linux, completa y que pueda competir como Windows. Luego de esta distribución le van saliendo hijos, cada uno con una particularidad.
Empezaron con el Kubuntu, cambiando el entorno por defecto Gnome de Ubuntu a KDE. Luego en las sucesivas versiones que se realizan cada 6 meses, le toco el turno a Edubuntu con software dedicado a la educacion Xubuntu con el entorno gráfico en XFCE.
Pues en esta actualización ha tocado el turno a Ubuntu Studio, un Ubuntu "Feisty Fawn" 7.04 dedicado a la creación multimedia, instalando toda la paquetería para la creación de vídeo, audio y gráficos.

Para probar el nuevo Ubuntu Studio, y si te da pereza o no quieres hacer una reinstalación de todo el sofware, desde un terminal hay que ejecutar esto:

sudo su -c 'echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main \ 
>> /etc/apt/sources.list'
wget -q http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Con esto tendríamos añadidos los repositorios

# sudo apt-get update

# sudo apt-get upgrade

# sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop

Si solo queremos el tema como Ubuntu Studio solo tendremos que poner:

# apt-get install ubuntustudio-look  
      # Instalaria todos los temas (Metacity, GTK+, Wallpaper, etc)

Si solo queremos un algún elemento del tema en concreto:

# apt-get install ubuntustudio-gdm-theme
# apt-get install ubuntustudio-icon-theme
# apt-get install ubuntustudio-theme
# apt-get install ubuntustudio-wallpapers

Página oficial de Ubuntu Studio !a que esperas para instalarlo!

Let Your Creativity Fly...

Después de muchos meses sin tocar el blog, por fin he sacado un huequecillo para tocar el theme que he instalado ( Zen ) de Drupal. Y tampoco ha sido mucho, cambio de colores en el Css y los .gif, añadir el lightbox para mostrar imágenes, estadísticas de Google, y poca cosa más.

Ya solo queda poner un sistema de galerías para las fotos, que no encuentro ninguno decente.
