Busy at Pretty since two of the latest projects we've been working on have gone live this week. And they look good:

I don't know if it's because of laziness or because they're busy but if you look at programmers' blogs you'll see that they usually post once every 3 months or so. I hope I won't end up like this... I mean there's no excuse, especially after the end of this month when I'll be saying goodbye to full-time employment.

Thumbs up for Google's new Google Labs product Transliteration. To those who speak Roman alphabet languages it means absolutely nothing... But for the rest, no need to say how important it is being able to write in your own language anywhere, any time and without having to change complicated computer language settings.

I've just been on a 3 week holiday in Cuba. Even before I left I was quite interested on what's the internet situation there as there were a lot of opinions about censorship, restrictions etc.
From my short stay I saw that internet is expensive and some times access is impossible, especially in small cities. But despite what I read, I was also informed that many Cubans have internet at home or are financially able to go online using public computers. They do have email and sometimes facebook or online dating accounts. Also even if the governement has internet control centres to monitor usage and restrict access to "anti-revolutionary" website content, there are so many online resources that it's practically impossible to control. And as far as software is consered, despite the "socialistic" open-source technology I expected, windows OS was used in the police station I visited (I had to go cause I lost my camera - that's why there's no photo on this post).
All the rest remains a huge and very interesting debate [comment 65 and upwards].
