Welcome to Windows JRuby!!!! Painless Ruby in Windows????

I read an interesting and funny post about JRuby on Windows and an appeal to Ruby community to make nicer to develop Ruby programs in Windows.

The best thing about this post is the fact that he was originated from a member of the community, Engine Yard. Why this is so nice? I guess its because we devs should worry about creating a program in Ruby not in buying the best hardware to program into it.

I really hope that Ruby grows in such way that Windows market share turns a natural part of its actual market share. The painless part about Ruby, in this case JRuby, in Windows is not needing any pre-reqs installed, just run JRuby installer and go rocking the world creating Rails applications or Ruby GUI applications immediately, awesome isn't it?

CES 2011 - Technology Rocking the House

I was looking for CES news at CNET,Engadget and Gizmodo US and found lots of interesting things, but specially I wanted to show here two of them. This awesome robot from DreamBots that does massage on us and his name is WheeMee.

The other one is the list with CES best tablets until the moment by Gizmodo. I'm not copying all the info from there but I can say that my choices are Xoom and PlayBook, yeah they are both the top ones in the list but they are really good candidates to be the ones to compete with IPad. Xoom by Motorola

Playbook by BlackBerry

Doesn't matter if you're liking or hating CES we have all to agree that technology industry have really good surprises for 2011. Let them come!!!!

Old things.....my drawings

Believe or not I wanted to be a designer or professional comic drawer before I entered computer science course. This was a long time ago but I still have my drawings and decided to show them to you.

They could seem a little bit crapy to some of you but hey I'm not an artist, I never was, it's just something I did and liked very much....

This megaman X I took from a magazine cover

This Dr Mario is from his nintendo 64 game

This one is a Ragnarok girl

I don't remember where I took this one from, only know that this is from Chobit anime

I hope you all enjoy these...I have more but they are not painted....

See you next time...

Don't get to close, it could be dangerous!

When you see a white egg with blue dots don't stay staring just run....

I saw this at Capinaremos

What is RockMelt?

The short answser: a social integrated browser. Kinda complicated? In fact is easier than  people think.

I got an invite to RockMelt and before downloading it my thought was: "Just another browser....." but when I opened it I found much more than a browser.

First it is based on Chromium ( the Google Chrome Open Source Project ), to me this means a lot because is light for the computer and pretty clean. And besides that I'm a developer, so we (devs) can get in the project and see it inside or even help.

Second, it's integrated with facebook and with everything that have an rss feeder. The facebook integration is perceived when you try to open RockMelt as it asks your account, after that it shows your logged friends on the left and if you click then you use facebook IM feature, for me that is DAMN COOL!!!!!
 On the right twitter and your facebook account are added by default, but is here that you can add your favorite rss feed, another DAMN COOL feature.

The third and last thing I want to talk about is the Share button, this nice button between the address field and the search field adds the possibility of spreading anything you're seeing to your other social media connected to RockMelt, in its case facebook and twitter as far as I know.

RockMelt got other nice features but I didn't get deep enough to talk about them.

Now back to the question "What is RockMelt?" we can re-write the answser "It is a damn cool amazing best browser with social media integrated in it, where I can share things with my friends and get my reading feeds faster"

Maybe I'm overating or just maybe it's going to rock the house.  Oh and just to remember that it requires invitation to download, but that is not a problem, ask in facebook/twitter or access RockMelt
