Articles

Well, I've written several articles, specially in the last month, where I've enjoyed more time for this kind of writing. But some of them are much, much older.

Alas, all of them are in Spanish as of now. I will start translating some, and when they're ready I will add local links for the translated versions.

I've included a Mentions section, where I've put articles that mention me, or where I've been quoted, and a Translations section, where I list articles or documents I've translated from English into Spanish.

There are also several mailing lists where I regularly participate, and several newsgroups --Palm OS related ones-- where I made some postings. Unfortunately, my employer didn't see those postings as something positive, and had to quit the newsgroups.

Translations

TidBITS-es

Translator & Editor for the Spanish version of the TidBITS newsletter, an electronic publication devoted to Macintosh technologies.

I was a translator for it from issues #519 (February 28^th, 2000) to #637 (July 7^th, 2002), and assumed editing chores first as assistant editor, and then I took as first editor from issue #611 (January 7^th, 2002). Had to quit when the number of volunteer translator made the effort for each issue unbearable for the volunteers.
