Going to PyCon 2008
March 10, 2008
There's only 4 days left before I fly to Chicago to attend the PyCon 2008 conference, the biggest event for the Python community. This will be the second time that I go to PyCon, last year the conference was held in Addison Texas and I really had a great time, I met cool people, visited a few restaurants and learned interesting things about Python.
Here are some photos that I took last year, and you can see more on my flickr set:
I'm sure this year's PyCon will be great!
Update: PyCon 08 is over, here are some of the photos that I took.
It's nice to meet intelligent people and be surrounded by all this enthusiasm around this cool language and all the projects that are being built with it.
Installing a Realtek RTL8185 wireless card
February 25, 2008
On this post I explain how I made my wireless card with a Realtek RTL8185 chipset work in Slackware GNU/Linux.
I recently moved to a new apartment and the Internet modem had to be placed in the bedroom, separate from the living room where I have my workstation, so I had to choose between buying a wireless card for my pc or drilling a hole through the wall to slip in an ethernet cable.
Since I don't have a drill, and my girlfriend wouldn't have liked a cable going through the middle of the makeup mirror, I got an Encore Electronics Wireless-G PCI Adapter (ENLWI-G2). Actually this is just a card with a Realtek RTL8185 chipset on it, and you can get the linux drivers from the Realtek website.
