Google Zeitgeist 2006, the analysis of the most frequent searches in Google, has just arrived. So, we have that the most usual it is to go to Google in search of other specific webpages, such as Bebo in the first place, MySpace, Metacafe (yes, before YouTube), Radioblog, Wikipedia or Mininova.

About people and organizations, the most wanted is fictitious: Borat. Hizbullah also has known to gain the attention of the internauts, like Paris Hilton that is the most looked for in... news! (isn't there more interesting news?).

Barcelona is declared antibullfighting and prepared the closing of its bullring, El País publishes a survey that says that the interest by the bullfighting has descended. Are we seeing the end of bullfighting? I hope so.

There are many antibullfighting webpages on the Internet, but not so well documented as En buenas manos, Shark or Underave about the technics used to torture bulls.

About the title, I took it from a song from Ska-P with Orujo de brujas.

In the latest comic strip of Raulito el friki the hexadecimal numeration is mentioned and some readers are sorry not to dominate it. Here comes the explanation.

The decimal numeration begins with 0 and when the 9 -the last symbol- is reached, the next is 0 and we carry 1 to add it to the following more significant digit; i.e., if we add 1 plus 9, the result is 0 and we carry 1 for the following digit.

1. It's a thing
2. You hold it when you use it
3. It is colorful
4. It may be found on a desk
5. It's probably made of plastic
6. It doesn't have face
7. It sometimes burns
8. It sometimes gets really hot
9. It sometimes produces heat
10. It produces light
11. I doubt that you give it as a gift
12. I doubt that you use it at work
13. It contains liquid
14. It's sometimes black
15. You can't open and close it
16. It can fit in an envelope

Do you give up?

A little exaggerated and of course biased, nevertheless interesting. 1990-1995: Microsoft's Yellow Road to Cairo claims that Microsoft business is a fraud and its software is vaporware.

A skinned horse being ridden by a jockey with the front and the back separated to see inside, a pregnant woman with the womb cut away to show the unborn fetus, a swimmer with halves swimming away from each other... these are examples of some of the things you can see at Body Worlds, an exhibition of the German anatomist Gunther von Hagens made with donated real corpses prepared with a technique invented by himself to be able to exhibit the bodies called plastination.

Creative art or macabre morbidity? The controversy, of course, has not kept us expecting.

It's time to change the wallpaper, this is how Eitrox trained me. In order to not be tired to see always the same, some new, some relaxing, some eye-kindy, or maybe some comic, or some about computing issues.

But, which one? There are too many to choose one... Well, I think I'll take this one...

The military cabinet that have taken the power in Fiji through the fourth coup d'état in twenty years getting the disapproval from the United Nations and a suspension from the Commonwealth has published an advertisement in the newspapers offering jobs in the Government, including the prime minister.

If you haven't criminal records, have not been declared bankrupt, and have a minimum of ten years working experience, congratulations, you can be a candidate for minister in Fiji and you have until Tuesday at 14:00 to send them your curriculum.

One of the heroes of the last 60 years has shown again his most critical side. If other times were GNOME times, now it's FSF turn again:

• Linux has never been an FSF project, and has never even been a "Free Software" project.
• The whole "Open Source" renaming was done largely exactly because people wanted to distance themselves from the FSF.
• So go fight the problem [DRM] at the source of the problem, not in my project that has got nothing to do it.
• I absolutely hate how the FSF has tried to use my code as a weapon, just because I decided that their license was good.
• [To Michiel de Boer] Write your own kernel and poll which one is more popular.

Some people say Linux is flaming, others just think he's the voice representing against the FSF what many of us think. Or may be they are just humans after all.

I set up my new website over PHP. I tried to improve its appareance and functionality to a less about:blank based schema, though it still need much improvements. When it become developed and tested enough I may do it open source, but nowadays it's still too much beta and untested. It also has not much content (in fact, most of I added it for testing), more will be added.

Mid term planned improvements include:
