Largo por tantas cosas que pasaron y tan corto porque el tiempo pasa volando. Muchas cosas ha aprendido, muchas (más de las que merecemos) alegrías nos ha traído. También sustos (varias caídas) y mucho cansancio (es agotador criar a un bebé). Pero nunca habíamos sido tan felices Aline y yo. Eso no lo cambiamos por nada y aguantaríamos muchas veces más lo mismo con tal de verlo reír nuevamente.
Como típicos padres enceguecidos por el amor, para nosotros Tristán es el más hermoso e inteligente de todos los niños. Hace cosas que nos dejan con la boca abierta. Nos impresiona cada día con algo que ni siquiera imaginábamos que sabía. También es notable la manera en que se da a enteder, aún sin poder hablar. Y tiene un carácter tan marcado que a veces nos preocupa. Pero es maravilloso.
Hay tantas cosas que ya sabe hacer que no quiero dejar pasar el tiempo y olvidarlo, así que aquí van:
Sabe qué son y dónde están las siguientes cosas:
En la clase un cruce de miradas.
En un segundo todo es sueño.
Los colores palpitan en mi pecho,
mi respirar se altera emocionado
¿Qué pensará ella? Lo mismo que yo por supuesto.
No importa si no sabe mi nombre.
En el puente una mano busca mi mano.
¿Es real? ¿Mi deseo de que sea la ha creado?
Suave, cálida, piel extraña.
Una lámpara alumbra a los paseantes,
extasiados tomados de la mano.
Un cono de luz es todo el mundo
Un mundo donde dedos entrelazados dictan el destino.
Right now you can only find the first chapter of Historias de Tristania, but soon I will publish the first chapter of Web Development With Seaside.
Enjoy.

When I used pdflatex to generate a PDF document, all was ok, but when I tried to generate HTML with latex2html, the accented characters were generated as:
á, é, Ã, ó, ú
By the way the preamble of my .tex file was like this:
documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{book}
usepackage[spanish]{babel}
usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
usepackage{makeidx}
author{Miguel Cobá}
title{Historias de Tristania}

end{document}
latex2html -html_version 4.0,latin1,unicode book.texFrom Erich Schubert's blog:
"Any Linux/Unix/*BSD system is vulnerable that grants access to a key that was generated on an affected Debian or Ubuntu system"
Well, sysadmins, time to work! :)
]]>Cuando nació Tristán, supe que había llegado el momento. Escribiría para él las historias que hasta entonces revoloteaban por mi cabeza. Ahora tienen una razón de ser. Son historias para mi hijo que crecerán conforme él crezca. Y las publicaré aquí en mi sitio, para que, si alguien tiene la paciencia y le interesan, pueda también seguirlas. Estas historias, al ser para mi hijo estarán escritas en español, nuestro idioma, nuestra lengua. El libro se llama "Leyendas de Tristania"
Por ahora tengo la primera parte de la primera historia. Se llama Torán. En unos días que la tenga completa (y corregida estilística y ortográficamente por mi amada esposa) podrán leerla.
¡Estoy emocionado!
]]>It is a book about Seaside.
I want to include, at least, the following topics:
I have read An introduction to Seaside by Michael Perscheid et al and I know about the book that Stéphane Ducasse and others are writing. Also I have read all I could from Ramon Leon's blog, Lukas Renggli's blog and the mailing lists. In spite of that I think that something else is necessary. This is my little contribution to the Seaside documentation.
I don't have idea how long this will take as I have never written a book (except my thesis). I have just finished the first chapter, but I hope that as the time pass I will write faster.
Wish me luck!
]]>I had to regenerate several keys in the servers but now it appears to be all safe again.
That was an error from a Debian package mantainer but, in spite of that, Debian remains my GNU/Linux distribution of choice.
]]>I learned that teTeX, the original default TeX distribution (LaTeX need TeX to work) on Debian is no longer maintained. The current default is TeXLive. So I installed it with:
# aptitude install texlive
This downloaded 338 MB of packages (when I tried to install texlive-full it offered to download 582MB, no thanks) .
I found this very helpful guide to LaTeX from Tobias Oetiker et al.
Now to write LaTeX documents.
]]>And happy. A lot. The spiritual drinks (wine this day) are very strange. Some would say they are magical. Others that they are a drug. I'll say that they are part of the humanity. When we are happy, when we are sad. In the success and in the tragedy. Alcohol has been always part of our lives. Wine, beer, fruit derivatives. A lot of options, a lot of flavors, a lot of circumstances. The fact is, they change (for a couple hours) our perception of life. My wife considers the wine the most mystical beverage (influenced a lot by her love for the ancient Greek's culture and philosophie). I tend to agree with her. I agree with her fully in days like this. The Wine has a very tasteful flavor. And the sensation of being drunk with wine it is very different as being drunk with tequila, for example. It is soft. It is happy. In fact, I don't think that someone sad could wish to be drunk with wine. The wine is for special moments. For happy ones. For memorable things. Or just for communion with the life. In this moment I don't care for anything except this peaceful, grateful and happiness moment.
My wife, the love of my life, is reading her book.
I feel the taste of the remains of the wine in my tongue. Delicious.
My son is in the room besides ours. Every now and then we hear his breath.
Today I played with him. It is growing very fast.
My son, Aline, the wine, the peaceful state of mind.
A very good moment.
