<title><![CDATA[Pre-generate thumbnails using convert of imagemagick in a Linux or Mac terminal]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Previously I wrote some articles about how to handle the thumbnails in PHP:</p>

<a>https://en.jveweb.net/archives/2010/09/how-to-create-scaled-thumbnails-in-php.html</a>
<a>https://en.jveweb.net/archives/2010/09/how-to-create-cropped-and-scaled-thumbnails-in-php.html</a>

<p>This articles talks about the creation of thumbnails on the fly, somebody requests it, it is then created, served, and removed.</p>

<title><![CDATA[What is color space in images]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>When I create thumbnails of images or when I scale them, I utilize several parameters and not just the size.</p>

<p>This has to do with the color space of the image. What am I talking about?</p>

<p>There are two ways in which the information of an image is saved.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Return of JVEWeb.net]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>This "update" has been so long in the making that the idea of the website coming back was almost a personal joke. And every year I tried to get something going but at most I managed to post a small note about it coming back. But there was no system to write, and there was no system to publish.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Happy New Year 2016]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>
    When I take a look at the last entries of the blog, I realize how far I was from imagining what my life was going to become in the following years. But I also realize that besides everything that ocurred, the part of me that have kept me going has always been there. I was not myself outside of the Internet, I lacked confidence in myself, and I am still discovering it.
</p>
<p>
    I am writing this from a very different world than the one I used to live in when I started more than 10 years ago. The weather is different everywhere, violence and chaos are two things that are seen now everyday, maybe things have always been like this, only it hasn’t been this clear due to the limited technology. But we live in a mobile world now, a lot of people carry Internet in their pockes, and a camera...
</p>
<p>
    Unfortunately I didn’t share my journey as I planned to do, but it is ok, it has been a journey of failures, of pain, of tears and even some blood has been spilled. Some functionality of the body has also been lost during the process. It’s funny the difference between your journey and how people sees your journey.
</p>
<p>
    There are some who consider me successful because I have travel the world, because I have accomplised some things that look quite fancy, because I have had the opportunity to live in the most expensive country in the world. And technically speaking, I have delved very depth into server administration, scripting, databases; I have played some with app development for Android, Chrome extensions, and the last couple of years, my world is Machine Learning, and of course making the tools to gather and prepare the ridiculous amounts of data that you need for that one.
</p>
<p>
    And that is what people sees, what they don’t see is that I am technically not just homeless, but stateless, and pretty broke. I haven’t been in my country in years or seen my family, including a new member that I am yet to meet but that I love very much already. I am always moving around, from place to place, carrying a laptop and my notes to keep on working, getting online from public wifi spots, libraries, and of course from friend’s houses many times.
</p>
<p>
    But that is what my journey has been. I learned how to do many things, but I did not value them, I lacked confidence in myself. I made some terrible mistakes and as I result I fell off the system. But the one thing I had to handle first was the depression I fell into after losing contact with my child, which maybe biologically isn’t my child, but in my heart he still is. I have become extremely social, but if feel someone starts getting close to me, I unconciously get away so I am also quite lonely, but I call it solitude.
</p>
<p>
    But enough of it. I have become very mobile, and I have documented everything that I have done in the last years. I think it is time to get all of that information out. Despite everything, I have reached stability internally, and I am happy. I want to share what I have learned so maybe others can find a more, hmm, profitable way to use the techniques, the code and the information that I have.
</p>
<p>
    Oh yes, and more photographs are coming. I documented, I wrote scripts, and I took photos.
</p>
<p>
    <img src="../archivosvarios/2015/collage2015.png" style="width: 100%" alt="Un poster de fotografías" title="Un poster de fotografías">
</p>
<p>
    And so it begins...

<title><![CDATA[The actual future of this Web Site<br>Edit 2015-12-31: Yeah right...]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>
    Well, I don't know if anybody still reads the frontal page of this site, I know there are some articles that still bring about quite a bit of traffic, but the frontal page, not so much.
<p>
    Lets face it, this site never really had the best name, it was a name of an old user account from an old free hosting company that no longer exists. But I was quite nostalgic and I bought it.
</p>
<p>
    Things have changed a lot in the world of Linux and in the world of Web Development, now Linux is incredibly easy, and everything in the Web Development revolves around HTML5 and responsive mobile web development. And as it changed, I changed myself. Some times I really do feel like everything I learned before, the way in which I used to do things, has become completely obsolete. But that is a good thing, isn't it?
</p>
<p>
    I overcomplicated myself with this Web Site, making it increasingly difficult to publish new things, but I do have new things to publish, a lot of them. Also my grammar has improved, and I am now writing this from the United Kingdom.
</p>
<p>
    So, to not make this even longer, all technical articles will be proof-readed, simplified and publish in a new site called <a href="http://codeffeine.com">codeffeine.com</a>, and a lot of new material will be added there. The motivational articles, and there will be more in the future, will be posted at <a href="http://wakeitnow.com">wakeitnow.com</a>. And this site will be used for my Photography and my personal thoughts and opinions. As for the Spanish material, anything that can be useful will be moved over to <a href="http://www.diezcuriosidades.com">www.diezcuriosidades.com</a> and the rest will remain here.
</p>
<p>
    The goal is to improve the designs, the quality and the quantity of the material presented, and to begin offering some Apps as well, coding Apps at Codeffeine, organizational Apps at WakeItNow.

<title><![CDATA[Happy New Year 2013]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>
    A whole year without publish anything in the website, but what a year. With new businesses, websites, and now engaged, this year was, without a doubt, the best year. But I'll make the next a best year, and I wish everybody a great year full of joy and fulfilled purposes.

<title><![CDATA[Ghosts from the past]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>
    Not only the great teachings and the technology are passed from generation to generation. Along with all of these, also comes the prejudices, the hatred and the social stratifications that were created along the way. Many times these were originated because of a desire of control, others because of pure greed, some because of fear, and some times because of a feeling of entitlement held by small groups of the population.

<title><![CDATA[Learning from a mistake]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>
    I had a new experience in life yesterday, one which I never experienced before: the experience of being robbed. While the details are not important (I am perfectly fine), I am going to sound a little crazy but I am actually glad that it happened, in this way at least.
