I found paper.li after reading an article from Guy Kawasaki, it sounds like a great idea for all twitter fans! It works like a newspaper with daily updates where you can find all the twits from a twitter user, list or tag.
Having a newspaper with some twitter tag is in my opinion the most powerful feature paper.li has. For example, if you like agile methodologies you will love the newspaper based on #agile tag!!
These are the newspapers I suggest you take a look:
Support: Free/Open or Privative Software?
2010-08-23 | Categories: Articles, Technology | Tags: foss
One of the most common concerns managers have about free/open source software is the product support. I’ve listened their arguments and I found that many of them are so valid concerns and I agree with them but I think there is something they are missing.
Is the privative software support exactly what managers expect and need? The answer is: It depends of how much money your company invests in privative software, so if you are a good client ($$$) it’s probably that you’ll receive support quickly but what happen with companies that don’t have a great budget? Well, they have to wait their turn and hopefully receive the expected support.
So, will it be worse with free/open source software? I don’t think so, the knowledge is spread in the internet and it’s highly probably that other company in the world had the same problem and there are many free/open source companies with highly skillful guys that can find a solution looking the source code or just searching wisely in the web.
The support contract can guarantee a certain level of support in paper but is it what your company really needs in time response and money? There are privative software with great support but it’s not easily to find or costs a lot.
I think free/open software is just another option that companies have to validate and decide just like they do with privative software so support shouldn’t be the big reason to avoid looking what free/open software has to offer.

Since I was a child I wanted to learn about photography but I didn’t have the opportunity to do something about that. Hopefully, everything changes the last year when I decided to buy a Nikon D90 (an amazing camera!) and started my new hobby: Photography!
It’s a complete new subject so I have a lot of to learn and practice,.. that is challenging and I like that!
This is my first post about photography and I want to share some of my best shots over the last year. Visit my Flickr account and have fun!

Lima Agile Day 2010 – Test Driven Development
2010-04-19 | Categories: Blog, Geek | Tags: agile, presentations
El fin de semana tuve la oportunidad de volver a participar en Lima Agile Day, en esta oportunidad compartimos experiencias con Heitor Roriz y Marco Mafra ambos de Scrum Amazonia. ¿Qué puedo contar? bueno que fue una buena experiencia y como siempre contentos porque hemos aportado con un grano más de arena para difundir las metodologías y técnicas ágiles en el Perú.
Mis presentaciones suelen tener poco contenido y muchas imágenes así que lo más practico es compartir el mapa mental con el cual arme la conferencia.
¡¡¡Gracias al equipo organizador lo hicieron muy bien!!!
