Plone, one of the best Open Source CMS, is celebrating its day this November 7, a lot of activities are planned in different cities all around the world in order to promote, meet and discover the possibilities of this software in goverment, business and education.

If you are new or you don't know anything about Plone, take some time and give it a try, yes it's one of the hardest to develop, but once you get in... it's harder to get out!

I'm working with Zope/Plone in SEMIC Internet, so following the open source community spirit, we are goint to sponsor WPD too and maybe doing something in Lleida.

I've discovered this documentary in the past edition of artFutura in Barcelona and it was great! my friends, myself, everybody love it, it was the best of all the activities that weekend.

It is a 80 minutes documentary that tells the whole story of Pixar, with interviews at John Lasseter, Ed Catmull, Steve Jobs, George Lucas, Tom Hanks, and lot more famous people related with the life of the company and their projects.

This is an absolutely must-see for every animator, designer, modeller and so on... it is not a simple story, it is a story about making a dream come true.

I've been busy last week (no posts...) because I was building my new workstation, it's all up and running now but I had some problems with the VGA, nothing that a motherboard BIOS update cannot fix ;)

Intel Core 2 Quad 8200
4 Gb RAM DDR2 1066 Kinston HyperX
nVidia GeForce GTX260 896MB DDR3
