Happy Holidays from Google jueves, diciembre 22, 2005

It is what says today's Google logo. Don't understand what that mouse means... I'll make a little work of research ;-)

Eso es lo que dice el logo de hoy de Google. La verdad es que no entiendo la función del ratón... investigaré.

Upgrade: there's a new logo now and there are more ones coming... And I've seen clicking on the logo that their proper name is "Doodles"
Actualización: ahora hay un nuevo logo y van a haber más próximamente... Y clicando en el logo se ve que se llaman "Doodles"


Upgrade 2: It looks like we're viewing a sequence of facts: the mouse comes to the world from the opening "g", the cat and the mouse are going to connect two wires and the new one... the cat and the mouse struggle to get the wires connected! What will happen after?? Maybe they'll achieve it and some "Merry Xmas and Happy New Year" message will be shown. Bet it'll be tomorrow. Waiting...
Actualización 2: Parece que estamos viendo una secuencia: el ratón sale al mundo desde la "g" que se abre, intenta junto al gato conectar dos cables, y en la última... luchan por conectarlos!! ¿Qué pasará luego? Puede que lo consigan y aparezca algún mensaje de "Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo". Apuesto a que será mañana. Estoy esperando...

Actualización 3: ya estoy seguro de que esto es una secuencia, y el siguiente paso ha venido esta mañana. Gato y Ratón (con mayúsculas porque los identifico como personajes propios) siguen intentando enchufar los cables, y esta vez le ha tocado a Ratón arreglar la maquinaria, mientras que Gato observa meditabundo los cables sin enchufar. Por cierto, ¿no os parece que la figura de Gato, que está mucho más estilizada, le hace parecer otro?
Upgrade 3: I am already sure about these Google Christmas Doodles are a sequence of facts, and the next step has come this morning. Cat and Mouse (with capital letters, cause I identifie them as whole characters) go on trying to get the wires connected, and now is mouse who repairs the machinery, while Cat looks pensive at the unconnected wires. The last thing, ¿don't you think that the new silhouette of Cat -a lor more stylized- makes him look like another one?


Actualización 4: Por fin!! Ya sabemos cuál es el fin de la secuencia de Ratón y Gato: Ratón ha arreglado la máquina y se ha puesto a correr en una rueda para hámsters para darle energía al logo de Google, que ha cambiado sus colores y los ha puesto de fondo. Dos comentarios: ¿dónde ha ido a parar el cable naranja? ¿por qué cambia tanto la forma de Gato entre secuencia y secuencia?
Upgrade 4: It arrived!! We already now how the sequence played by Cat and Mouse: Mouse has repaired the machine, which was a hamster-wheel which provides energy to the lightning Google logo, which has now white letters among a background which is colored with the Google tradicional logo letters color. Better see it yourself. But before that, two questions: ¿where is now the orange wire? and ¿why does Cat's silhouette changes so much in the sequence?

Trends in Google Personalized Search miércoles, diciembre 21, 2005

Google has released a new option for his Personalized Search. It consists on giving us some statistics about what we have searched in the personalizedly: the 10 top searches, the 10 "top sites" and the 10 "top clicks" and the monthly and daily search activity.

We could say that it is similar to Google Zeitgeist (which we will talk about another day), but based on your own searches

Needed: a Google Account. (Very easy to get, in fact. If you haven't one yet: what are you waiting for?!)

In favor: it's useful if you are at least as geek as me and you will be able to analyse your online behavior from a objective point of view.

Against: (not found yet)

UNA NOVEDAD... A NOVELTY sábado, noviembre 19, 2005

A partir de ahora propongo una nueva actividad para el blog, que se podría decir que está muerto, pero yo creo que jamás llegó a nacer del todo. Desde este momento, me comprometo a contestar todas las preguntas que me hagan, es más: les reto a que me hagan preguntas que crean que no podré contestar, a ver quién gana. Envíen las preguntas a sximlabs@gmail.com o déjenlas en los comments

Since that momment I suggest a new activity for this blog, which we could say bout it that is dead, by I think it has never been totally alive. From now, I promise I'll answer all the questions you make me. And I can go further: I challenge you to make me questions you think I can't answer... Let's see who's the winner. Send your questions to sximlabs@gmail.com on leave them in a comment.

I'm excited! domingo, noviembre 13, 2005

For you Americans who have visited my blog: I am so thankful!!! I never thought my little not-important blog would be visited by people I don't know...And it's so wonderful!!! Please come back and tell me!

I'll explain what my last post was about to you: Gmail, the newest mail service, provided by Google. It's the very better I've ever found. The have a little problem, though. Their information page is only in English!! -well, I've never found it in Spanish, at least. So I had to tell the Spanish bloggers -mainly my friends- myself. But you have it easier -English is the telecomunications languages, you know. So just go to Gmail's main page if you want a little of information -though it is enough to be convinced on trying Gmail- or to Gmail's information page if you want a looooot of information.

The last thing. The only way to become a Gmail user is getting an invitation of one of your friends. So if you want to be leave me a comment telling it.

Thanks very much!!!
