Status Quo

Hello, hello, hello.

It has been a long time since I last wrote for this blog. Actually, it has been a long time since I have written anything useful. Why? Well, internship report (now ready, but the presentation is yet to come), job interviews, my current job at CERN… everything has been conspiring, lately, in a way that prevents me from getting enough “free” time to keep this humble blog of mine up to date.

Well, in spite of the lack of time (OK, I have time, but it doesn’t reach the threshold for me to come here and write), I have been thinking about three main things:

  • I urgently need an open source MIDI arpeggiator. Generalizing, the world needs a decent open source MIDI arpeggiator;
  • Web 3.0, and the way it blends with REST and Service-based architectures;
  • OO Content Storage - An easy, QL-less way of storing and retrieving OO data… it’s still a germinating idea, but that I find quite interesting;

The summary of the Status Quo follows:

  • Reading: “Weaving the Web” (T. Berners-Lee and M. Fischetti) , “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” (P. K. Dick)
  • Recently read: “VALIS” (P. K. Dick)
  • Willing to watch:
    • “Conte d’hiver” (E. Rohmer)
  • Recently watched:
    • “Ma nuit chez Maud” (E. Rohmer)
    • “eXistenZ” (D. Cronenberg)
    • “Lost in La Mancha” (T. Gilliam)
    • “Ken Park” (L. Clark, E. Lachman)
  • Currently listening to:
    • Porcupine Tree
    • Frank Zappa
    • Goran Bregovic
    • Scanner (DJ)
