Y se inicia el Campus Party Iberoamerica! en mi tierra natal!

Me alegro mucho por mis compatriotas...que podran festejar en esta fiesta tecnologica tan afamada!, quisiera poder compartir con mi gente y aquellos visitantes pero lastimosamente mi situacion (migratoria...H1-B) no me lo permite!!! sino hasta el otro año!.

Watch live video from CampusParty 2008 El Salvador on Justin.tv A aquellos que van, ciudadanos salvadoreños les sugiero una cosa nada mas...sean mis hospitalarios y hagan cuanto amigo puedan, pues son estos eventos los que no solo abren barreras tecnologicas en la region sino unen culturas y tienen el potencial de crear amistad que duran mucho mas que un evento de dias...sino se logra crear "campus parties" de años!!! Estoy ansioso por las fotos y videos de todo lo que haran!!!....tengo mucha expectativa para que los jovenes de mi lindo pais salgan motivados de tal evento y se conviertan en agentes de cambio en sus lugares de origen y asi lleven tecnologia y mas a cada rincon de El Salvador! Sinceramente, guanacux

freelancers..

El otro dia estaba pensando que queria seguir trabajando en desarrollo de sistemas y diseño web, pues sino me voy a volver obsoleto, y encontre unos tips en la web muy bueno de como hacer dinero con proyectos cortos y aun seguir usando nuestras habilidades y experiencia:

Aqui estan:

1. Get involved in an open-source project
It's where the most interesting and influential products are being developed, and more importantly, many open-source projects are filled with people who are also connected to companies that pay their engineers. Plus, obviously, working on a development project will keep you sharp and expand your skill set.

2. Go to start-up fairs
Wherever people are pitching new businesses, be there. They're all hiring. If not now, then soon. I am partial to the Under the Radar series (I helped start them and moderate at many of them), and there are several a year. Update: I just talked with the organizers of the next UTR event, which focuses on mobility startups, and they've created a special pink slip discount: $200 off admission, includes entry to the opening night reception for even more networking. There are 20 tickets at this rate.

3. Get project work
You may not have a daily gig, but you still have your skills, and there are people who need them. Head over to a project marketplace like oDesk and pick up some work.

4. Update your profiles
Go to your pages on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter etc., and let people know you are available for new projects. While you're at it, proactively send out notes to your trusted associates that you are looking for work. As we say here at CNET: "duh."

5. Learn some new skills
No, I don't mean to learn Rails if you're a Java guy. That's obvious. I mean cooking, rock climbing, riding a motorcycle--something that you didn't have the time to do while you were an FTE.

6. Answer some questions
Scan Friendfeed and Twitter Search for people asking questions in your areas of expertise, hang out in message boards on things you know stuff about. You'll see what's going on in the industry, you might be able to help people out (always worthwhile), and you might also land a tip for a gig.

7. Get a girlfriend or boyfriend
Don't let the fact that you have no job, per se, slow you down. You can still earn some dough. You will have more control over your schedule. And you can spend some of your newfound time with your new friend, assuming this friend doesn't have his or her own 18-hour-a-day engineering job.

8. Campaign in a swing state
Hurry up, though.

9. Take some time off
"Invest a little and travel to a seaside town in Mexico, even if it's just a few days. Mexico is easy to get to, it might be cheaper to live there, and lying on a beach is certainly not a bad way to contemplate what you want to do with the rest of your career. At the very least, you'll see people who get by on a lot less than we make."

10. Move out of the Bay Area
Just a thought: This is a very expensive place to live, and the economy is heavily tilted to tech. If you have other skills, you might find a better market for them elsewhere, and it will be less expensive to maintain your lifestyle. Plus, you can continue to do project work.

11. Buy a new rig
Yes, you're going to have to do the obvious and odious task of taking a financial inventory and cutting back on your expenses, but you will also need current tools to pick up projects. You'll be more positive about working on those projects if you're doing it on a shiny new system configured just the way you like.

12. Take pictures
Put your $1,500 dSLR to use by selling stock-art pictures of household objects to Fotolia, ShutterStock, iStockphoto, StockXpert, etc. "It's cheap for people to buy images compared to the traditional stock (photo) market, but it can be lucrative over time because images sell over and over. I've made money without trying too hard. But quality standards are going up, so you can't just upload any old crap. Brush up on your model releases."

13. Volunteer
"It can build new skills (like leadership), a new portfolio. Someone capable of making their kid's Boy Scout troop turn a profit suddenly looks a lot more proactive than the shlub who catches up on reruns while waiting for Craigslist to pay off."

14. Start your own company
If you have some savings and can afford to work for peanuts (or less), it's a great time to start a company. Without the annoying distraction of a booming economy, you can focus on building a product to solve a problem you know people will have again when the economy loosens up. There is still funding, even, for early-stage companies. What should you build? We leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Ten Indictments (A Historical 21st Century Message) by Paul Washer
http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=17378&commentView=itemComments

Preached Wednesday, October 22nd at the Revival Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Paul Washer delivers a urgent appeal to the Christians and Churches in North America that many have been believing a false gospel and have false assurance of their salvation. He lists 10 indictments against the modern Church system in America. This is a historical urgent message, tell others and spread the message. We need a reformation and revival of a biblical standard!

Bendiciones!

Sayonara a Dell de nuestro querido pais...Hello Stream!

En un comunicado de prensa, el dia 15 de octubre se oficializo la venta del 100% de los activos del contact center de DELL en El Salvador (fuente: stream.com)

El diario de hoy tiene esto en español de igual forma (ver noticia aqui)

Quisiera saber que es lo que realmente se murmura o se conoce dentro de DELL en El Salvador, la estabilidad laboral de tanta gente que estuvo en empresas de telecomunicaciones antes y ahora despues de a penas 3 años estan siendo tomados (en lo que algunas llaman una toma al estilo white knight) por una nueva empresa, el choque de culturas laborales no es algo facil de manejar en una empresa, especialmente cuando viene una que toma todas las acciones...mis mejores deseos a mis ex-colegas de Telecom que partieron a Dell en el 2005. Que DIOS les guarde en esta transicion.

Hemos dicho a todo que esta bien...no es hora de reflexionar en todo esto?

Bienvenido a Chase....

Ayer fui a depositar unos cheques al banco (WAMU) y me dice la cajera, no desea abrir una cuenta de ahorros con nosotros....y yo le dije no gracias...ella me responde porque?....le digo: Realmente quiere saber? (quiza esta tipa no ha visto las noticias, pero trabaja para este banco)...fui un poco cortes y solo le dije que aun no me decidia con quien hacerlo pero la verdad es que aun la cuenta corriente pienso en retirarla de WAMU...
