OMG... I'm gonna kill somebody... :D
It's been crazy with Swapper in the last days!! I found out that the Spanish web page that I translated was up and running and now... They just posted a new entry on their blog... WITH MY CRAZY PICTURE IN IT!!
It's horrible... when I imagine how many people are gonna see it... Embarrassing... :P
I guess it's the price of being famous...
I'm gonna kill you Anne Laure!! :D

My professional life
I know, I'm only 20 years old and I'm still studying... But it's been crazy lately!
I never ever thought about working & studying at the same time. I always had some English/Math/Physics classes to give, but I don't consider those a real job. It's more like a hobby, a paid hobby where you also help a younger boy/girl.
Everything started to change some months ago. I was on my computer doing nothing in particular when this woman added me on the MSN. Her name was Anne Laure, and it turned out that she was working for a recently born techie company from California (some of them are actually from Stanford, like Katie!) and needed help translating their program into Spanish.
At first I thought it was some kind of joke, cause you don't always receive such an offer without even looking for it. After visiting their web page I realized that it wasn't a joke at all, so I accepted happily. I had to translate the whole program into Spanish, a long work but not very difficult. That first work was the translation of Wambo, a multi-protocol messaging program with enhanced features for transferring files. After that I kept in touch with Anne Laure but nothing else came up. At least not for a while...
After a couple of months of that translation, Anne Laure contacted me again. In Wambo they decided that they were not gonna continue with the multi-protocol messaging. Instead they were gonna release and application JUST for fast, secure and private transfers between friends. The name of this program is Swapper and they also needed help translating the web page of Swapper (where they explain what Swapper is and how it works) into Spanish. I didn't give it a second thought. As the result of that, the actual Spanish version of the web page is my translation! It feels good to see that your work is shown to everyone...
Swapper is already available for download on their web page. Only for Windows XP/Vista so far...
So that's the story of Wambo & me. They're super nice people (I'm planning to meet them next time I go to SF... I'm still invited, right?) and I wish them the very best. If they ever need me for anything else, they know I'm here ready to help! :)
Anyway. That sounds like a really good experience for a 20 years old guy from Madrid. But there's still more! It has something to do with FON...
I've always loved FON. I became a Fonero a little while after they started. I was with them since the very beginning, suffering with the Linksys WRT54GL...
I always dreamt about working with them, so I visited the Jobs section on their web page.
A year ago they were looking for someone to help with their Technical Support Department. Apparently, they were going to offer assistance through Skype and they needed people who knew how FON worked and with a high level in English. I applied for the job thinking that, since it was through Skype, I could do it from home and during some certain hours... It turned out that it was a full time job, but I couldn't leave Teleco, so I passed...
It was a pity, cause it sounded like something I could have done very well and I would be working in FON... Anyway, life kept going... I kept checking the Jobs section to see what they were looking for. It was more a curious thing than something I needed... But seems like destiny had something prepared for me, cause a year later after the first interview... voila!
So yeah, I'm working at FON right now. They didn't choose me because of what I was studying, they chose me because they knew I was in the "Fon world" and that I had the required abilities.
It's been great so far. I've met everyone from FON Spain (Xabi, Karl & Antonio) and from other departments. I've seen the office from the inside, I've worked (it sounds soooo weird! I've worked at the main office! :D) and I've also eaten there...
I'm in charge of doing something really geek that I enjoy very much. I can't talk about it yet, but I'll tell as soon as I'm able to...
Talking about the work itself, not everything was pink and beautiful. The first 4 days I went to IMAN07 with Xabi & Karl. It was a Marketing event that we went to offer free wifi. The thing is that we weren't told with enough time in advance, so at FON Spain they were really stressed about it. They were so stressed about it that they brought me with them, when I was supposed to start with my "project" the very first day...
It was a good disaster. It was good cause we did a good job, but it was a disaster cause nothing was planned. We solved the problems as they came. I spent the 4 days fixing laptops from the stands nearby and checking that the Internet connections were up and working... That was my first experience at FON and the first real-working situation with the Foneras...
After that I went back to my original assignment. I worked there for a couple of weeks when they asked me If I would like to go to Malaga. FON was going to Mundo Internet and they wanted me to be there to manage all the techie stuff...
It was way different than IMAN07. We still had some problems with the materials (which we solved with a lot of imagination... :D) but we had enough time and people to set everything up. It was Xabi, Karl, Fredrik & me this time, plus the two hostesses.
Here you have some pictures that Andreu took while we were setting everything up and while we were running the stand...
I even appeared on the front page of a newspaper from Malaga. Everytime a newspaper said anything about Mundo Internet, they showed a picture of the FON stand, cause it was the most crowded one of all...
Anyway, that's been pretty much all. Now that I think about it, sounds like a great experience for a 20 years old guy, don't u think?
Whatever happens, I know that this is just something temporary that I'm doing because I love this work, because I want to help FON and because... I need money (duh)! I don't discard helping them in the future, though... We'll see!
So far I can say that I'm part of FON and I'm really happy about it!
If anyone has any doubts about configuring the Fonera or wants some information about it, leave me a comment and we'll see what can I do... ;)

Natasha Bedingfield
Hay una serie de artistas de los que me gustan el 90% de sus canciones. Eso, cuando hablamos de La Oreja de Van Gogh, es normal, porque todas sus canciones son iguales. Lo difícil es cuando sus canciones son variadas.
Es lo que me está pasando con el último disco de Natasha, N.B.
Antes os he puesto una canción, y aquí tenéis otra.
What if I squeezed myself into any shape
And I still don't fit
What if I bend myself so much that i break
And I cant mend it
What if I burned so bright that the fire goes out
And I cant stay lit
Whats the point in it
I could get good at crying crocodiles tears
Just to get along
I could carry on telling you what you want to hear
Til my voice is gone
But if i finally get to the place that I think is home
And i don't belong
Whats the point in it
Wheres the benefit
When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it
Its not worth having
If its too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That your left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold
Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge, rather then be lying alone
Just a pile of pirate bones
Uh yeah oh oh
If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
Uh yeah oh oh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having
What if I stake everything I am on a dream
And its counterfeit
If I reach the end that justifies the means
Could I live with it
And if its true that I have to much of any good thing
Can only make me sick
Whats the point in it
Wheres the benefit
When I'm gaining all, but I'm losing it
Oooh
Its not worth having
If its too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That your left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold
Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge, rather then be lying alone
Pirate bones
Uh yeah oh oh
If i forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
Uh yeah oh oh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having
Its not worth that much to me
If loosing out is what it means
This way may shallow victory
Is empty
Empty
Its just not worth the prize
Its only a fools pirate dies
If its draining every drop of lies
Til I'm dry
Lie.
Pirate Bones!
(Its not worth having) its not worth having
If its too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That your left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold
Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge, rather then be lying alone
Just a pile of pirate bones
If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
Ooh ooh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having
Pirate bones
(While the thought was treasures just a pile of....stones)

Mi primer trabajo serio... FON
Pues si! Como leéis!
Hace ya algún tiempo que estoy trabajando en FON. No lo escribí antes porque tenía un post atascado que quería acabar antes, no por falta de tiempo...
Mi historia con FON es muy curiosa... Hace cosa de un año mandé un email por un puesto de atención al cliente a través de Skype. Por aquel entonces yo ya estaba involucrado con FON, peleándome a brazo partido con el Linksys e intentando compartir mi conexión... El caso es que me contestaron y fui a la entrevista. Me recibió Asunción y me hizo la entrevista. En un principio iba todo bien, hasta que me dijeron que era un puesto de trabajo de tiempo completo. Pensé que al ser por Skype podría compatibilizarlo con mis estudios, pero siendo así no podía aceptarlo...
No problem. La vida seguía y yo tan contento.
Sin emabrgo el destino quiso que nos volviéramos a cruzar...
Hará dos semanas me respondió Asunción acerca del terma del instalador. Ya nos conocíamos, así que realmente no era una entrevista propiamente dicha lo que querían. Querían a alguien como yo para ese puesto y simplemente me llamaron para que conociera a Xabi, con quien tendría que trabajar en el proyecto que me sería asignado más adelante.
Y poco más! Al poco tiempo ya estaba currando en FON tras firmar mi primer contrato laboral y haberme dado de alta en la Seguridad Social.
Empecé yendo de "apoyo" en el IMAN'07 porque les faltaba gente. Fue una dura prueba de inicio. Teníamos un stand en la feria y dábamos acceso gratuito a Internet. Tras situar las foneras estratégicamente en el Palacio de Congresos de Madrid, las configuramos con antenas omnidireccionales y direccionales de SMC. Teníamos unas 6 foneras detrás del escenario del auditorio principal y otras tantas repartidas por las salitas de conferencias. Al final tenía que ir de un lado a otro comprobando que todo funcionaba y sobre todo, CONFIGURANDO los portátiles de la gente (algunos me daban muchísimos problemas por el PUÑETERO Internet Explorer...)
Al final todo salió bien. Fue una experiencia bastante dura para ser el primer trabajo como parte de FON pero cumplí mi función...
Nada más terminar me puse con "mi" proyecto, del que ya os enterareis pronto... Podíamos decir que está en fase "beta", pero cuando salga os avisaré... ;)
Este fin de semana estuve en Málaga, en MundoInternet. Otra feria más, pero de otro rollo. Teníamos un stand en condiciones y estaba prevista desde hacía tiempo nuestra presencia, así que estábamos preparados. Allí nos fuimos Xabi, Karl, Fredrik y yo. Buena decoración, mejor música, buen ambiente y mucha, MUCHA gente. He acabado afónico pero contento de haber ido allí a echar una mano... Hasta he salido en la portada de un periódico de Málaga!
Es curioso, porque siempre que algún medio hablaba de MundoInternet sacaba una foto del stand de FON, el único con una afluencia masiva de gente (será que somos guays?). El resto de stands estaban muy solitarios...
Eso es todo en cuanto a FON. Aquí os pongo una pedazo de canción. Me parece una de las canciones más alegres que he oído en mucho tiempo! Espero que os guste...
I wanna have your babies, de Natasha Bedingfield. Su nuevo disco es increíble, os lo recomiendo!
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,
But what if it don't?
What happens in my head stays in my head,
But sometimes it won't.
What if you knew what I was thinking?
Would it make you like "Whoa!"?
I don't wanna risk putting my foot in this
So I keep my mouth closed.
[Chorus]
All you hear is
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh"
Gonna button my lips so the truth don't slip
Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops! Did I say it out loud?
Did you find out? (oow yeah)
I wanna have your babies
You're serious like crazy
I wanna have your babies
I see 'em springing up like daisies
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Some of my feelings keep escaping
So I make it a joke
Nonchalant I keep on faking
So my heart don't get broke
I'm in a big, big, big, big ocean
In a tiny little boat
I'll only put the idea out there
If I know it's gonna float.
[Chorus]
All you hear is
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh"
Gonna button my lips so the truth don't slip
Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops! Did I say it out loud?
Did you find out? (oow yeah)
I wanna have your babies
You're serious like crazy
I wanna have your babies
I see 'em springing up like daisies
'Cause in my head there's a slot machine
And I'm betting you're the one in my hopes and dreams
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la, la la...
Trust me it'd scare you
If you knew what was going on in my brain
Trust me it'd scare you
That I picked out the church, or the schools or the names
If you knew it was all about you
Every wish, every candle, every coin in the fountain
Trust me it'd scare you
That's why I go, Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh
Uhm... yeah
[Chorus]
All you hear is
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh"
Gonna button my lips so the truth don't slip
Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops! Did I say it out loud?
Did you find out? (oow yeah)
I wanna have your babies
You're serious like crazy
I wanna have your babies
I see 'em springing up like daisies
All you hear is
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh"
Gonna button my lips so the truth don't slip
Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops! Did I say it out loud?
Did you find out? (oow yeah)
I wanna have your babies
You're serious like crazy
I wanna have your babies
I see 'em springing up like daisies
There's one, there's another, there's one, oow...
Babies, babies, babies, babies...
I wanna have your babies
I... Yeah yeah ha ha and maybe you'll find out...
But what if it don't?
What happens in my head stays in my head,
But sometimes it won't.
What if you knew what I was thinking?
Would it make you like "Whoa!"?
I don't wanna risk putting my foot in this
So I keep my mouth closed.
[Chorus]
All you hear is
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh"
Gonna button my lips so the truth don't slip
Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops! Did I say it out loud?
Did you find out? (oow yeah)
I wanna have your babies
You're serious like crazy
I wanna have your babies
I see 'em springing up like daisies
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Some of my feelings keep escaping

Nonchalant I keep on faking
