  • Movin’ out

    |

    , ,

    After almost three and a half years I finally decided to move out from Daniel’s place. It was about time. Quite frankly, it was actually past time I moved out. I think I got too comfortable living there, and ended up staying longer than I should have. Living together with another person for an extender…


  • Master

    |

    ,

    I defended my masters last friday. Everything was absolutely great. In fact I was quite worried because I had a sore throat since the day before, and so there was a chance that I wouldn’t have a voice to use in my presentation. However, even though my throat didn’t get all better I was able…


  • My father.

    |

    The last time I spoke to my dad was about ten days ago. He was getting better from his illness (he suffered from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that slowly deteriorates the lungs with no chance of recovery), enough for the hospital to consider sending him home.

  • (good/bad/nothing) year

    |

    Back in new year’s eve, six and a half months ago, I had this funny feeling that this year was not really going to be a great one. Since then a lot has happened. Both good and bad things came up, and a strange, bitter-sweet feeling was already beginning to settle. My intention here was…


  • Debian, APT and gpg keys

    |

    For quite some time now Debian’s repositories have been relying on gpg keys to ensure the authenticity and integrity of their packages. One thing no one had the decency of explaining is how to get a certain repository’s key into one’s “trusted ring” so apt won’t complain when downloading packages from there. Well, I’m going…
