The late Stockholm

Few weeks ago when I signed up as volunteer on The Gather Festival on Stockholm city. I were in Gothenburg back then, so I deceided to move to Stockholm via FlixBus (the cheaper long-distance buses on the european union).
Due to a calculation error I were waiting 15 hours on the Central Station of Gothenburg with nothing to do but wait. In that moment I realized that the polices of Sweden doesn't allows you to sleep in the station, and in the exact moment you get into confort on the non-confortable seatings, the blue dressed guys wake up you telling you need to seat or left the place. Outside was so cold, so for me was ok to wait in a seated way. In the while, I fell asleep near 5am in an unconfortable position, I waked up rapidly and start walking because the need of mantain me active. I forget my mobile phone in the seat. 5 minutes after when I back for my phone it just wasn't there. So there I was: alone and with no phone. I tried to find it via Google but it was off, someone stoled it. I need to add that the Gothenburg's station have no active plugs to connect my laptop and in few minutes it turns off too. Was a real disaster and I was angry as shit.
The time passes and I almost finished the book that a huge friend gifts me time before. I never finished it maybe because maybe I really bad reader.
When the bus comes I got on board, and I not remember nothing until we arrives, except one or two stops. I was really tired and get sleep all the road.
When in Stockholm, thankfully my friends were present. In fact one of them that helps me a lot, maybe the only need I had in that moment was to be heared by someone. I appreciate every word she listen; I almost sure if I receive a hug I would cry as a condenated, so that never happened and earned my tears for later. The message I received was that I am an adult person and I needed to get a job and stop making troubles. I accept it, she was right.

Back in the move into the festival, that people confused about my profile and expect I had a driver licence (and no, I might had, but when arrived to Stockholm the first time I get stolen it with my cards, id, residence permit, money and much more.) 

It might continues...

The wire - less madness

Lately working with Lora device I have learned that we are really close to create big impact changes with relatively little investing.    I've started my mesh during a research to communicate my postbox with my Home Assistant setup. In all the apartments where I lived this really got me; I wanted that when the post agent left something for me it should notify me somehow. This could have been because I've worked far from my place, or even because otherwise every time I need to go check it. During this mission I only counted with a bunch of ESP32s that could be used for communication using WiFi, Bluetooth and ESPnow. That's awesome but unfortunately not enough.  Suddenly when looking for sensors for other project, I've found SX126X and SX127X which are modules for LoRa communication. And pretty cheap ones!    2022 I've got some Heltec V1 (Stockholm)   Is good to mention that this technology uses ISM which basically is that the states provide a license-free b...

My own Departure Board (V1)

A screen that tells you when the next train is coming, built with the same complexity as a Mars mission. It all started on the blue line to Kista , riding Stockholm’s Tunnelbana. Half asleep, I was staring at the glowing “next departures” board when it hit me: "What if I built one of those for home?" Sure, I could’ve just opened an app like any normal human, but I chose the long, slow, bug-ridden path. Naturally. A while later, for my birthday, Roberto gave me a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W . Why? No idea. But clearly, it was fuel for my urge to overengineer things. With that little board in hand, my fate was sealed. Weeks later, we went to a Hopsworks meetup in Södermalm. Being a good Scandinavian tech event, it was full of beer. And not just any beer— Hopsworks has its own craft beer line , with labels that look like they came straight out of a DataFrame. Absolute chef’s kiss. They were showing how they use the Trafiklab API to feed an AI model that predicts public transport del...

Shoot: Derrotas políticas y nuevas oportunidades

A lo largo del tiempo, como Argentinos fuimos encargados de llevar la política a nuevos espacios. Fuimos pioneros en debates abstractos, generamos discusiones de todo tipo contemplando todos los aspectos y aristas que un tema puede encontrar. Así y todo íbamos olvidando gran parte de nuestra gente. Así y todo nos íbamos blindando del otro. Así y todo, conseguimos ser de mente abierta pero tan cerrados para no entender que hoy no es ayer, para no entender que somos muy distintos y debemos vivir juntos. Nos dimos cuenta que ni la distancia ni las rejas nos separan del todo. Que la "necesidad" se hizo compleja, y que los derechos son un reflejo de esta nueva lucha de clases. Podríamos asegurar que el conflicto es lo nuestro, y que no sabemos cómo resolverlo. Así y todo es nuestra misión llevar paz y construir. Así y todo debemos saber que no somos tan diferentes, y que esa distancia que generamos no es más que una diferencia de potencial o voltaje político. Todo nuestro ...
