Nuestro bebé (Our baby)

Print
Cinco semanas y cuatro días

Esa es la edad de nuestro bebé ahora. Ya soy papá, aunque faltan algunos meses para tener a mi hija (o hijo) en mis brazos. Airin, mi amada esposa, está feliz que no cabe en sí, y mis padres y sus padres también están emocionados. Abajo hay unas "fotos" de nuestro bebé, ya pondré más luego cuando haya más material.

Ahora se viene toda una nueva etapa en mi vida, con muchas interrogantes y tierras inexploradas. Espero ser buen padre y buen esposo, que más puedo pedir en la vida sino exactamente eso, y poder estar orgulloso de mi hijo (o hija). Soy feliz, más que nunca.

Five weeks and four days

That is the age of our baby now. I am already a dad, although there are still some months to wait before I hava my daughter (or son) in my arms. Airin, my beloved wife, is happy beyond words, and my parents and hers are also excited. Below there are some "photos" of our baby, I will put more material when I get it.

A new phase is starting in my life, with lots of questions and unexplored lands. I hope to be a good father and a good husband, what else can I ask in life but exactly that, and to be proud of my son (or daughter). I am happier than I've ever been.

Merging KeePassX databases

Print

I've been using KeePassX to keep my passwords safe across the Operating Systems I routinely use (Mac OS X, Ubuntu Linux), or have to deal with (MS Windows XP).

KeePassX has been a time saver since I started using it (about a couple of years ago), and I really like its cross-platform availability and the way you can easily group accounts, apart from feeling safe due to the good encryption (AES, Twofish) algorithms used in the program.

But, I have a problem. Sometimes I will record a new user/password combination in one machine and then forget to do the same on the database I carry on my USB, to propagate that change to the computers I used at work and at home. At the moment, there is no option to merge or import into an existing database in KeePassX (there is a feature request asking for that), so I have to either do it by hand or look for a workaround. Being lazy, I decided to go for the second option.

Fortunately, you can import/export your data to the KeePassX XML format. That, coupled with the XSLT file at Oliver Becker's site (merge.xsl), provided the solution I needed:

  1. Export your datbases to the KeePassX XML format (let's say db1.xml y db2.xml).
  2. Run it through xsltproc:
    $ xsltproc --output merged.xml --stringparam with db2.xml merge.xsl db1.xml
    This will merge the contents of db2.xml into db1.xml and write the output to merged.xml
  3. Import the newly created database, and save it with a new (or old, if you want) filename.

Short and sweet. Not bad for a workaround, and seems to work just fine.

 

Early morning shaking in Lima

Print

We got a 10 second wake up call this morning. Fortunately it was only 5.4, but still the phone lines (land and cellphones) collapsed for a bit with all the people calling.

After the excitement passed, everything went to normal. Seems like another day in Lima after all.
