Booting into a “powersaving” version of Ubuntu

October 9th, 2008, 19:16

In this article I will explain how to boot into different environments with the same operative system (Ubuntu in this case) from the grub bootloader.

I wanted this setup to have an option in the boot menu to load a light and powersaving environment in my laptop, so I can use it on trains or air planes without AC outlet as long as I can.

Also you can use this setup to have, for example, a standard Ubuntu, a Media Center Ubuntu (using Elisa or XBMC), a Text Console Ubuntu (for maintenance duties), a GNOME Ubuntu, a KDE Ubuntu, etc…

Fito 2.0 delayed

September 25th, 2008, 20:21

Vaya, primer escollo en el camino. Hemos encontrado un serio bug en el módulo de desplazamiento dinámico, y creemos que no lo podremos solventar hasta dentro de unos días. Parece que el culpable es un pésimo programador que no tuvo en cuenta algunos factores a la hora de preparar la implementación en entornos de producción. En fin, estas cosas pasan. Pronto nuevos datos sobre el lanzamiento del año.

Fito 2.0 ??

September 24th, 2008, 11:59

Si todo va como debe de ir, mañana empezaremos a liberar el código del Fito 2.0, que aunque va a estar en fase beta un tiempo, todo pinta a que va a ser una versión bastante mejorada. Todavía no tengo claro como voy a pulir algunos bugs, porque para eliminarlos necesito el total apoyo de la comunidad, pero creo que todo va a ir bien. Llevo unos meses preparando la infraestructura necesaria, así que creo que puedo implementar el nuevo sistema con rapidez. En fin, ya os iré contando… Mientras tanto, le estoy pegando a los Ramones, a los recopilatorios del Punk-O-Rama (benditos 15 años) y claro, a los Posession!

pyRenamer 0.6.0 released

September 17th, 2008, 16:44

Well, after a few days of coding, I’ve finally released the 0.6.0 version of (your favourite mass renaming application) pyRenamer. It comes with the most requested features from users, as well as lots of bugfixes. I hope everyone like this new version!

Also, pyRenamer’s website has been modified, with new screenshots, information on how to help translating pyRenamer to your language, new bug tracker and questions/answers system, etc.

In next version, I will focus on make the patterns more powerful, moving the image renaming to hachoir-metadata like music, and add some GUI improvements. You can check the TODO file for more information.

By now, you can download it and install it!

  
Downloads:
→ Source code: pyrenamer-0.6.0.tar.gz
→ Debian/Ubuntu: pyrenamer_0.6.0-1_all.deb

  
New features:
→ You can save your favorite patterns to reuse them
→ Undo/redo feature
→ Now you can rename more music formats (ogg, real… those supported by hachoir)
→ You can keep file extensions untouched while renaming
→ Now you can rename directories
→ Allow renaming files and moving them to another directory
→ Added some icons to identify file types
→ Added random number pattern {rand}
→ Added refresh option, to reload files and directories
→ Added autopreview option
→ Add option to fix duplicated symbols on filename
→ Add option to ignore next errors while renaming
→ Better explanations on error dialogs
→ New icon

  
Bug fixes:
→ Files don’t appear duplicated anymore
→ The position of the window is now placed correctly when pyRenamer starts
→ Fixed bug when trying to display error dialog on bad preferences
→ Reverse elements on recursive listing, so we rename deeper files and directories first
→ Fix file capitalization
→ If root or active dir is hidden, pyrenamer fails no more
→ Use {myear} for getting an album year in music renaming, instead of {year}
→ Fix crash when a id3 tag is not available or wrong, returning an empty filename (LP: #235161)
→ Fix crash while processing some bad exif tags, catching possible exceptions (LP: #261832)
→ Fix crash while starting, fixing src/treefilebrowser.py (LP: #237482)
→ Fix crashing when extension or name are empty
→ Fixes on manual renaming: cleaning correctly and changing file with keyboard.

This version of pyRenamer was released while listening to Posession‘s “Memento Mori” and Baroness discography.

La gran ilusión

A veces me doy cuenta que hay alguien por ahí que ha pensado lo mismo que yo pienso… y me encanta!

Nueva Vulcano . La Gran Ilusión (Sagrada Familia EP, 2004)

Se nos rompió el vaso
En que la gran ilusión
Se estaba decantando
Por un significado

En el tejado
De lo nuestro
Entre las rendijas
Que no hemos llenado
Caen gotas que no son lágrimas

Extraño tu piel blanca
Felicito a tus ancestros
Pero eso que llamas amor
tiene que ser algo mejor
que todo esto

Amo tu caligrafía
De color verde esperanza
Pero cada vez que leo tu mente sin querer
Oigo llover sobre mojado

Extraño tu piel blanca
Felicito a tus ancestros
Pero eso que llamas amor
tiene que ser algo mejor

SNFU - Something Green And Leafy This Way Comes

Llevo escuchando “Something Green And Leafy This Way Comes” de SNFU desde que tenía 15 años, y no me pienso hartar nunca. The Great Mind Eraser es una de mis diez canciones favoritas de todos los tiempos. Me alegro de poder haberles visto con la formación mítica hace unos años. Me gustaría volver a verles, a pesar de que solo queda Chi Pig, y que el tío parece ser que está hecho una mierda.

The Great Mind Eraser (1993)

He sits and stares and looks up
At the crack lines on the ceiling
Nothing moves, not even him

He thinks of friends and wonders why
They seem to have such better lives
And he feels so left behind
He takes the eraser end of his trusty pencil
And he rubs it on his forehead
He erases them from his thoughts
Then stabs the pencil through his heart
And he feels much better now

He sits and stares and looks up…

Never wanting to feel like that again

I will come back for you

BANE . Swan song

Today won’t be like yesterday
The bell tolls for an hour straight
Screaming mothers chase their children down
Fathers tear out their eyes
As the city topples to the ground

Outside the streets are in a panic
Truth sellers jump from tall, tall ledges
No sign of Christ with a sword in his mouth
Beneath the blood red sky I’ll sit and laugh with you tonight

This is a promise I made to you
I’ll be right there
I’ll be right next to you

When the trumpets blare the loudest and cannons roar
All the trains that once came for you
Spill off the tracks floor
All your horrors they multiply
And you realize your fears
I’ll block your ears with both of my hands
Kiss away the tears

When the armageddon’s been locked and loaded
I will come back for you…
