I just want to introduce you Fatou, our little cat.
I like napping in the sofa
We adopted him last Saturday, and he is 2 months old. He is named after French mathematician Pierre Fatou… Mostly because Laia didn’t want him to be named Kolmogorov, and Fatou was the first mathematician name she liked.
He is very cute (as you can see), and well-mannered. Last Monday he had to go to the veterinary clinic for a revision, and the vet told us it is amazing how good he is: he even wears his collar!
While I was in Iceland, I started to see visits coming to my blog from www.hanselminutes.com… A site I didn’t know about. As soon as I got a decent wifi coverage I went to see what it was about… And it was a podcast!
From his own description,
Hanselminutes is a weekly audio talk show with noted web developer and technologist Scott Hanselman and hosted by Carl Franklin. Scott discusses utilities and tools, gives practical how-to advice, and discusses ASP.
Being a copilot in Iceland can be either stressing or boring. It depends if you are going to an almost unmarked farm where you will spend the night or just in the middle of an unending straight road. And in the boredom moments, I decided to compile a list of things we had packed and were really useful. I hope this helps you in your next trip!
Fishing line: Fishing line is quite useful for several things.
A few weeks ago I saw in my Google Analytics that someone came to this blog looking for “Origami iPhone case”. As I have a Origami CD case, and several posts on iPhone/iPod Touch games… it was a page hit. But I thought: if I can have a neat CD case, I can also design a neat origami case for an iPhone! Said and… done. It took a few tries (and a few days), as you can see below.

If you are an avid self-improvement reader, you know already what timeboxing is. But maybe you don’t harness all its potential For the rest, timeboxing is a time management technique focused on time spent, not tasks done. Therefore, you will need to set aside some project tracking system to have a clear idea of what you are working on.
Today I am leaving on holiday… Destination: Iceland. It is funny, because we arranged everything (accomodation, car rental and such) just two weeks before Eyjafjallajökull started spitting ash. It have been a few months wondering whether we could make it to Iceland and come back… Fortunately the little volcano took a pause and here we go.
I have a few scheduled posts for this few weeks (I’ll be back around 16th July) but I will be again posting more frequently after I am back.
