Sporting back in the elite

I have a post pending with my humble hommage to the return of my football team (Real Sporting de Gijon) to Spanish First Division... or "Spanish La Liga", as the guys at CNN funnily say. In the meantime, the managers are trying to make a proper team to survive in the competition and are preparing a pre-season set of friendly matches to start the engines of the team. From my vacational retirement in the Canary Islands, I proudly read that one of these matches will take place against AC Milan (one of my fave teams ever since the times of Gullit, VanBasten, Rijkaard, Costacurta, Massaro, ...). By the way, the only time both teams met was in UEFA cup, in 1988 if my memory does not betray me, and I was there. We won 1-0 although we (unfairly) lost 1-3 in the 2nd match. I hope that we win this upcoming game, although it's been long since then and the difference between the rich and the poor is greater. Anyway, it is time to dream of great matches against excellent teams in El Molinon. I wish I can go on dreaming like this for years. It would be the sign of Sporting settled in First Division.

First post from Maemo WordPy

Trying maemo wordpy from an N810 for the very first time. Nuff said :)

Android on N810

Thanks to the easy install procedure made available in internet tablet talk, I am enjoying android in my N810.

Slow, smelling like alpha software, but working. It seamlessly detected and used my WiFi (I suppose it takes data from the N810 install because otherwise I wonder how he managed to crack WPA :-) ).

I hope it will get improved along time. Looking forward to new and faster versions.

How open will the Symbian platform will be in the future?

After Nokia acquired enough shares of Symbian, they promise Symbian will be a fully open platform. Maybe they do it to stop Linux-based initiatives like Android or Limo. Whatever the reason, openness would mean to me that I can flash my N80 (abandoned from Nokia updates) with features only available for newer NSeries models so far. In my dreams :-(

Juego guapo

Preparate, jogo bonito. Llega el juego guapo. Nos vemos en el Mundial en un par de anos. Brasil y Argentina tiemblan. En Europa no hay rival.

Maps and mobile phones

This cool video is the winner of the S60 video contest. It perfectly shows some of the great possibilities of maps applications in mobile phones. A video is much better than a googolplex words so there you have it.

Symbian Foundation

The greatest mobile manufacturers join forces in order to make Symbian a big open platform and their instrument will be Symbian Foundation. It is great that Symbian becomes an open development platform (please start killing Symbian Signed!) but the only idea of a single Symbian flavour is good enough news. You can read it with more detail in this Nokia Show Press Release and I got to these URI from a post in Barrapunto.

To the semifinals!

Mediamarkt Spain offered to pay back the 25% of the price of all their HD-enabled TV sets sold in the last weeks if Spain reached the semifinals of the Euro 2008. Time to pay!
