Sir, your on-disk cache is full.
I forgot two mention two things in my two-step micro howto on plone caching. (more…)

Plone is slow. Sure, it does an awful amount of work for every request, but it really shows: in a standard install of Zope and Plone on nice hardware with plenty of memory, getting Plone’s index page takes about 250ms. Other, less complex objects such as CSS files or images take about a tenth of that. Unfortunately, as Plone’s default skin is amazingly complex (and for good reasons), you need to fetch anything between 10 and 50 objects out of the database before your browser stops looking busy. You can’t serve more than a couple of concurrent users with that.
Fortunately setting up a reasonable bit of caching is really trivial, should require no extra software, no recompilation, no nothing, and you can see speedups of more than 25×. Here’s how! (more…)
Just realized I never posted the pics of JoaquÃns biopsy. These are taken immediately before and after his op. Today, a week later, all he has as a reminder is a scab a couple of millimeters in diameter, about where you’d point to say where is liver is. Results are not due for another week or so.
The only thing that bothered him about the whole stunt was the IV line in his arm. Not the nearly twelve hours without neither food nor drink, not the puncture or whatever you call it in his liver. Ah, and all those doctors and nurses coming in to check his blood and pressure weren’t at all welcome either: after the first one, anybody and everybody that came in with a uniform on was requested to leave with a “¡¡TalÃ!!†that left no room for interpretation. This included the aide who brought us water, but fortunately didn’t include his pædiatrician.
At Except we’re constantly looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact. This year, we have carbon-neutral heating! That’s right, we’re burning dead trees of the late XX and early XXI centuries, instead of eons-old rotten vegetation and dead animal squash. Ain’t that something!
(Only half joking. And only half seriously.)
Gracias a la magia del internés, o algo asÃ, pueden mirar cómo era el barrio de adonde nos mudamos hace como dos años, más o menos. Este esfuerzo de producción es para no quedarse atrás de nuestro empleado, el terrateniente.
El viernes pasado firmamos contrato, y durante el fin de semana fuimos llevando algunas cosas: ¡nos mudamos! Acá van algunas fotos para que se entretengan.
Anthony se coló, esta vez de analista de computación. Tengo algunas fotos, malÃsimas, sacadas con el celular. Ésta es una de las mejorcitas… y aún asÃ, si no les digo, no se dan cuenta.
Por suerte, Ra también estaba sacando fotos, pero con una cámara de verdad. Con suerte puedo señalarles adónde las puso dentro de poco.
La OMPI, organización dedicada a acabar con cualquier acervo que se le cruce, celebró hace poco el «dÃa de la propiedad intelectual». Desde VÃa Libre señalamos que mienten como condenados a muerte. La OEI tomó pedazos de ambos artÃculos, los mezcló (a pesar de que se contradicen), y lo publicó sin citar las fuentes. Estuve riéndome un rato 
Gracias Bea.
