    Previous: May 2021. The second quarter of 2021 is over, and it was an intense one at work. I’ve been working on some features for WordPress 5.8. It’s a packed version by my standards and those of many others. It will be published in a few days, and I’m excited to see it in the…

  • O André

    Neste verán, un dos memes que agromou na galego-esfera do twitter foi o de actualizarmos o perfil poñendo o artigo antes do nome: a Berta, o Ricardo, a Teodora, etc. Este meme inspiroume a revisar a historia e normativa da antroponimia galega.

  • Shelter from the Storm

    Mars soundtrack (the National Geographic tv-show) is fantastic. Nick Cave is just the perfect voice to convey that feeling of exploration and fear. Moon, Interstellar, The Martian, etc; it seems sci-fi movies got an appreciation for soundtracks that have a major role in the film – and I enjoy that. As much as I like Cave’s main…
