Menos aÃºn en un viaje con escasa planificaciÃ³n, casi al arbitrio de un round the world ticket de Star Alliance comprado con mucha premura.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;IntuÃ­ que sÃ³lo despuÃ©s de hallado, sabrÃ­a lo que estaba buscando o, en el peor de los casos, el viaje tendrÃ­a algÃºn sentido en retrospectiva, como en la primera &lt;a href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html"&gt;historia&lt;/a&gt; del discurso de graduaciÃ³n de Steve Jobs.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;De Kerala fuimos a  Mysore, a ver a mi maestro de Ashtanga yoga, que estaba recibiendo clases de Pattabhi Jois, la "fuente". En Mysore recibÃ­ las claves, ahora lo veo, de un bramÃ¡n, estudiante de yoga, que trabajaba en un &lt;em&gt;call center&lt;/em&gt; en la vecina Bangalore vendiendo &lt;em&gt;identity theft insurance&lt;/em&gt; a clientes del &lt;em&gt;Chase Manhattan Bank&lt;/em&gt; de Tejas, que no paraba de hablar del Che Guevara y encima le estaba huyendo a un matrimonio arreglado por sus padres (esto, seÃ±ores, es la representaciÃ³n corpÃ³rea de la globalizaciÃ³n), al poner en mis manos un ejemplar del &lt;em&gt;Bhagavad Gita.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Los meses que siguieron fueron introspectivos y muy felices; una especie de zambullida en el mundo natural con los ojos bien abiertos para buscar respuesta a las grandes preguntas: quÃ© es la vida, quÃ© es la muerte. En Bangkok hay demasiadas distracciones para pensar en estas cosas, y en Pai, al norte, cerca de la frontera con Burma, mÃ¡s de lo mismo. Los &lt;em&gt;hippies&lt;/em&gt; que la "descubrieron" hace unos aÃ±os hoy estÃ¡n obligados a compartirla con &lt;em&gt;backpackers&lt;/em&gt; de la misma especie que ha conquistado todo el sureste asiÃ¡tico y amenaza con hacer metÃ¡stasis en suramÃ©rica.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;En &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;om=1&amp;ll=9.695647,100.078583&amp;spn=0.015567,0.019655&amp;z=16"&gt;Had Tien&lt;/a&gt; encontrÃ© el sosiego entre tres playitas separadas por unos farallones franqueables, donde naturalmente se dan tres ambientes. El lugar no es accesible por carretera, sÃ³lo se llega por mar. Yo no buscaba nada, y eso era lo me hacÃ­a feliz. Pero si se buscase algo, allÃ­ lo que hay son yoguis, &lt;em&gt;vegans&lt;/em&gt;, comida exquisita, tertuliantes hablando del DMT o bÃºscando su nÃºmero en el &lt;em&gt;Enneagram&lt;/em&gt;, egresados de retiros de &lt;em&gt;Vipassana&lt;/em&gt;, hogueras en la playa, &lt;em&gt;shiatsu&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;rolfing&lt;/em&gt;, cielo estrellado, un &lt;em&gt;rave&lt;/em&gt; a la semana, y deliciosos batidos de frutas y "vegetales".&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;De Vietnam casi hubo que huir. En Laos, todo amabilidad, gente buena, con la boca llena de risa. Alguna pobreza, pero no de espÃ­ritu.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Esta entrada se estÃ¡ haciendo larga. Me quedo a contar de Ubud, Bali.

Una semanita en el IndostÃ¡n que se me ha ido volando. Primeras dos noches en Colaba, barrio de la zona sur de Mumbai, en un hotelito cobarde para amortiguar el jetlag. Colaba no es un gran caos, pero si una ruina de lo que fuÃ©. Calles amplias, arbolones de hojitas muy verdes, imponente el Gateway to India y hotel Taj otro tanto. Me dicen que los hippies, en los 60's, se podian baÃ±ar en la piscina por dos rupias y yo me lo quiero creer.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Durante todo el trayecto en taxi, de camino al aeropuerto el viernes pasado, mi campo visual no tuvo un instante despejado de personas. Dentro del aeropuerto tuve que soltar un &lt;em&gt;baksheesh&lt;/em&gt; (que lo mismo es propina, que redondeo al alza, que dinerito para que las puertas se abran, que comisiÃ³n indebida o no tanto) a un maletero con cara de yo no fuÃ­. Lo aceptÃ³ de buena gana, ladeando la cabeza con esa ternura infantil que tienen los indios. El inmaculado Airbus 320 de KingFisher Airlines (live TV, comida de verdad, sobrecito inÃºtil con tijeritas, lima de uÃ±as, etc) saliÃ³ a Cochin con un retraso muy razonable de una hora.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;SÃ© que el recuerdo de Fort Cochin se me va a vaciar pronto de la memoria. Me quedo con el de los almacenes de especias (todas las imaginables, tanto para la cocina como para la medicina AryuvÃ©dica). Hay, como dice Luistxo, unos langostinos de pura raza, y gambas, y langostas y todo lo que se pueda uno imaginar. Eso si, Ernakulam, al menos la parte de atrÃ¡s del mercado a la que llegamos deslizÃ¡ndonos desde el atracadero del Ferry, es un basurero habitado, que no habitable.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;El lunes caÃ­mos en el corazÃ³n de los backwaters, al sur de Allepey. Lugar idÃ­lico, propicio al yoga, a la lectura (terminÃ© de leer una novelita light weight -El camino del corazÃ³n, de Sanchez DragÃ³- que me dieron una noche antes de salir y empecÃ© India, de Naipaul). No podÃ­a faltar el paseito en canoa, el  amanecer en los mismos parajes de Apocalipse Now -tranquilamente se hubiesen podido ahorrar el rodaje en el Mekong-. Un espectÃ¡culo ver cÃ³mo fluyen las rupias por esos rÃ­os; llegan hasta el que te hace la lavanderÃ­a por 25 rupias, el que te resuelve, solÃ­cito y veloz, el ticket de tren, el vecino que engalana en 2 horas un par de bicicletas para alquiler, el anciano con la espalda curva como el anacardo y un ojo que le baila en la Ã³rbita, con una mano llevÃ¡ndose de una caÃ±a por tierra con la misma cadencia de un punter en el agua y con la otra pidiendo su rupia -y se la doy-, el taxista que madruga lo que tenga que madrugar, etc, etc.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Estoy tecleando esto sentado en un tren, despuÃ©s de engullirme un plato de arroz a mano limpia. La entrada al tren no fue nada triunfal; por un despiste, tuvimos que atravesar medio tren -todas las clases y las castas-, con los backpacks nuevecitos, reciÃ©n comprados en la Ripiera de Curtidores; miradas de fastidio, y algunas de asombro, como si tuviÃ©semos skornels en la boca en vez de mochilas en la espalda.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;SerÃ¡n unas 7 horas en tren, camino a Calicut. La ventana me estÃ¡ enseÃ±ando de todo. Acabo de pasar un aparcadero de vacas flacas, amarradas a los pilares de un puente sin terminar, trunco como un muÃ±Ã³n; le siguen otras vacas casi suizas, escoltadas por garzas muy blancas, pastando en idÃ­licos arrozales. Hay mil contrastes, como en todos lados. La Ãºnica constante es la humareda de a dos tiempos de los &lt;em&gt;Rickshaws&lt;/em&gt; y la  basura, tanta basura, lo nunca visto, por todas partes. Los rÃ­os tienen de todo menos agua. Ecologistas de todos los paÃ­ses, unÃ­os. La batalla hay que ganarla aquÃ­. Ni en el Manzanares, ni en el TÃ¡mesis, ni en el Almendares, se vale.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8501058604226559352-9007340504449878873?l=www.ubaldoh.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/feeds/9007340504449878873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/2007/01/kerala.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8501058604226559352/posts/default/9007340504449878873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8501058604226559352/posts/default/9007340504449878873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/2007/01/kerala.html' title='Kerala'/><author><name>Ubaldo Huerta</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111269464263263929393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PRc5-NSaPXM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/MQnoENjlJ4Y/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501058604226559352.post-9101876112423903024</id><published>2007-01-15T19:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T06:57:28.902-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><title type='text'>Soltando amarras</title><content type='html'>De nuevo otro intento por resucitar este muerto.

Wrongggggg! As everyone knows (but me), youâll till need a separate contract from TelefÃ³nica (and billing hassle) to get your basic voice line, and then (and &lt;i&gt;then&lt;/i&gt; means 21 days at least) you get your DSL line&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So, once friends were surveyed and &lt;a href="http://www.internautas.org"&gt;sites&lt;/a&gt; consulted, I narrowed down my choices to jazztel; for silly sentimental reasons, the fact that CEO is a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba"&gt;compatriot&lt;/a&gt; and a entrepreneur hero (depending on who you talk to), also weighed on my decision.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now the tragic dilemma: &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jazztel.com"&gt;Jazzhell&lt;/a&gt; has incredible courteous customer service folks; they're knowledgeable, they even instruct you to run &lt;i&gt;netstat âa&lt;/i&gt;  to see if you have a neighbor sucking up all your bandwidth with wifi client, etc. No complaints, really, specially compared to the lemons they recruit at &lt;a href="http://telefonica.net/"&gt;TimofÃ³nica de EspaÃ±a&lt;/a&gt; that without remorse hang up the phone on your face. It has happened to me, several times.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The problem is that &lt;strong&gt;jazztel service sucks&lt;/strong&gt;. Here is the list of problems with my DSL/voice integrated flat rate plan, in no particular order:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1- Download speed changing all the time, some days I only get 50 Kpbs. Have they ever heard of &lt;a href=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=define%3ASLA&amp;btnG=Google+Search""&gt;SLAs&lt;/a&gt;? To be fair itâs been better recently (last 3-4 days). Still, though, I havenât seen the 4 Mbps I was suppose to have by end of September&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;2-	Modem wonât synchronize for 15 minute to 2 hour interval 2-3 times a week&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;3-	Both DNS servers not reachable via ping or not responding anything meaningful several times a day. Iâve been rsyncing a lot of files lately and need to restart cron jobs all the time&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;4-	Certain local numbers (in Madrid) are simply not reachable. If you use the telefonica prefix 1077 youâll get to them. They havenât solved this after repeated calls to CS. In total I have 3 tickets opened.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;5-	Calling international is even more insidious. A lot of calls donât go through (message sayings circuits are busy). You call using the telefonica prefix and bum, youâre in  (I donât know if 4 and 5 are part of a larger telefonica conspiracy to obstruct free competition since they own and operate some circuits but I this point I donât even care anymore)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Why should I do folks? Should I give &lt;a href="http://www.ya.com"&gt;ya.com&lt;/a&gt; a chance? Any other reputable operator out there? Iâll do everything (within reason) in my power not to give my business to telefonica out of the silly (perhaps) principle that Iâm promoting competition with my actions (and the time it takes me to write this note). I also had too many nightmares with TelefÃ³nica 2 years ago; wounds are still open, don't even want to go there. I waited 2 months for the suckers to install it&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gimme a hand, would ya! Which operator should I pick?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8501058604226559352-7997234437087542840?l=www.ubaldoh.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/feeds/7997234437087542840/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/2005/10/jazzhell.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8501058604226559352/posts/default/7997234437087542840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8501058604226559352/posts/default/7997234437087542840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/2005/10/jazzhell.html' title='Jazzhell'/><author><name>Ubaldo Huerta</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111269464263263929393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PRc5-NSaPXM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/MQnoENjlJ4Y/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501058604226559352.post-2442143921734202092</id><published>2005-09-24T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T06:57:28.810-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><title type='text'>Re: Soul of a start-up</title><content type='html'>Light sunday morning reading:  You don't have to be a religious person to appreciate that &lt;a href="http://bostonvcblog.typepad.com/vc/2005/09/the_soul_of_a_n.html"&gt;every start-up has a soul&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8501058604226559352-2442143921734202092?l=www.ubaldoh.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/feeds/2442143921734202092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/2005/09/re-soul-of-start-up.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8501058604226559352/posts/default/2442143921734202092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8501058604226559352/posts/default/2442143921734202092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ubaldoh.com/2005/09/re-soul-of-start-up.html' title='Re: Soul of a start-up'/><author><name>Ubaldo Huerta</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111269464263263929393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PRc5-NSaPXM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/MQnoENjlJ4Y/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501058604226559352.post-9093603060384909928</id><published>2005-09-22T23:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T06:57:28.896-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><title type='text'>Loquo &amp; Rita</title><content type='html'>Don't want to scare anybody but there is a chance that Hurricane Rita will hit loquo's hosting provider in Houston, TX.

Please, take a moment to give him feedback on &lt;a href="http://www.vivirama.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;vivirama.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a nice mashup of &lt;a href="http://www.loquo.com"&gt;loquo&lt;/a&gt; + &lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/"&gt;google maps&lt;/a&gt;. The idea is to make life easier for those looking for &lt;a href="http://www.loquo.com/english/cat/302"&gt;shared flats&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.loquo.com/english/cat/313"&gt;real state&lt;/a&gt; for sale and &lt;a href="http://www.loquo.com/english/cat/312"&gt;flats for rent&lt;/a&gt; in Barcelona by dropping the corresponding loquo listings on a Barcelona google map. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Vivirama is still in its infancy, partly because google doesn't provide street information for Spain yet, only satellite images which aren't nearly as useful. Also, the GIS that he's using is prohibitively expensive, so he's including only a small subset of the barcelona housing listings. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Can someone point &lt;a href="http://www.vivirama.com/xavi.html"&gt;Xavi&lt;/a&gt; to a free (or inexpensive) service to get latitude/longitude for a given Spanish (or European, why not) address?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Xavi, next thing is to include a reference to the image stored in loquo (if itâs available)  Congrats!

Reach point where tuning doesn't help".  I'm in the middle of dealing with scalability issues. The difference is that, right now, I'm having a lot of support to figure this out until &lt;a href="http://www.loquo.com"&gt;loquo&lt;/a&gt; moves to a more scalable architecture. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here is a good read on &lt;a href="http://geminis.dyndns.org/wordpress/index.php/2005/06/05/performance-analysis-on-linux/"&gt;linux performance tunning&lt;/a&gt;.

Fresh chipirones (minute cuttlefish eaten whole) and pescaditos (tiny fish) with a roughly- chopped salad and chilled PenedÃ¨s wine are quite something sitting on this desirable terrace under tall palm trees. Lunchtimes only.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The restaurant sits in the worst location (I'd say 90% tourist concentration) of Barceloneta. That's why it's never too crowded.  Check it out some day, you won't be sorry. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nen, I'm going to miss Barcelona; I walk on average 3 to 4 KM a day in Barcelona. I don't know if Madrid is, like Havana, a walking city. I'm afraid it isn't.
