State of my nation (related to Maemo)
I have just promoted SharePy 1.0~alpha3 to the Extras repository (don’t scare you this version name because it should be stable enough).
This new stable version has the following new features from the 0.2 version that was until today in Extras:
- Flickr support.
- Picasa support.
- Youtube support.
- Blip.tv support.
- SlideShare support.
- Option to add an entire folder.
Now the application is coded in such a way that it’s easier to add new services, as if it was supporting plugins, still I need to improve this code to make this much easier to other developers who want to add other services easily.
Also I have dropped the support of the Share on Ovi service because from the change in the method of authentication in share.ovi.com it wasn’t working and I haven’t been able to get it working again. Sorry.
There some services that will be supported in the future like Facebook, Vimeo, Metacafe, etc.
If you would like some other service , don’t hesitate in ask it.
Also I have uploaded some python modules to the repositories like python-slideshare and python-facebook. With this names you will imagine that are doing them.
In another related topic, the last Monday I was coding a small application to show quotes from the markets. It gets data from Yahoo Finance.
I was launching a contest in the IRC and in Talk to choose to name, and the winner is StockThis.
Congratulations to man_in_ltop, he has suggested this name. Sorry, there isn’t prize.
The application is simple as hell, you can see some screenshots here:
It will be available in Extras in some hours or days when I fix the last couple of bugs. A new python module is uploaded python-ystockquote, to get data from Yahoo Finance.
To finish the post, just to say, last week I was in a talk that Frade gave about Maemo in the Asturlinux X Anniversary. Also, I did a free software course in the University of Oviedo, where jsmanrique spoke about portable devices with a part about Maemo too. Very Interesting talks.
I am very glad that one of my applications was put as example in both talks. Thanks!
Este sábado a El Molinón
Este post va a ir en español ya que la ocasión y el público objetivo se lo merecen.
El Real Sporting de Gijón necesita nuestra ayuda. El equipo está en la peor situación desde hace muchos años, quizá en toda su historia no haya habido una situación así. Se encuentra a un punto del descenso a la Segunda División B. Para remediar esta situación hay que ir a apoyar al equipo este sábado a las 18:30 a El Molinón. El equipo rival será el Numancia, aunque sea lo de menos.
El precio de las entradas hacen soñar con un posible lleno:
- Los socios podrán obtener una entrada de acompañante por 5 euros
- Adultos: 10 euros
- Infantil: 5 euros
- Fondo Joven: 5 euros
La gente va a ir a ver a Alonso pagando cientos de euros y nosotr@s, ¿no vamos a apoyar a nuestro centenario equipo por unos 10 miseros euros?

According to weather sources, a small tropical storm is approaching to Spain. It will come to the Asturian coasts approximately tomorrow in the night, so we will have to wait it patiently.
I live to a height of 7m on the level of sea in Asturias and here surely that it’s perceive. It will be hope winds of approximately 100 km/h, strong storms, and a strong sea. It is sure that then it’s not for so much, since here we live in a bubble that any weather effect does not affect.
The tropical storm, now it’s in Azores islands where it was hoping that it was a hurricane with level 1 and winds of 150 km/h.
You take hold of something that but assurance that we go out flying
