Review:Good I guess. Sets up a magic system but then there are exceptions to it, which is not great. Quick read. |

Nunca pude volver a sacar una foto así.
Hoy me encontré una cámara, y me dí cuenta: es la cámara que llevamo a Estambul, se nos cayó al piso y nunca más funcionó, y que no veía desde que volvimos! Y tiene la tarjeta de memoria puesta!
Así que acá están las fotos (sin filtrar), para la familia y amigos.
Finished reading Cloud Atlas, gave it 5 starts. Here's a quick review:
I am not going to explain this book. It's enough, I think, to say I loved it, and that it's strange, and that it's a bit of a mistery.
Imagining a universe in which all the contents of the book could be real at the same time in a way that would allow all the pieces to be written as they are and yet, be, somehow, not the novel they are, but a found artifact, is both depressing and ellusive.
At the end, I felt something I can only describe as retrospective hope, the feeling that things were supposed to end up better, but that even as terribly as they did end, were it not by that earlier hope, they would have been more grim.
The control the author has over his own style is impressive. This book feels written by half a dozen completely different writers.
Some quotes (which may only make sense once you read the book):
"The sun was deaf'nin' so high up, yay, it roared an' time streamed from it."
"In the first set, each solo is interrupted by its successor: in the second, each interruption is recontinued, in order. Revolutionary or gimmicky? Shan't know until it's finished, and by then it'll be too late"
"What wouldn't I give now for a never-changing map of the ever-constant ineffable? To posess, as it were, an atlas of clouds."

¿Cuál es el servicio de CloudFlare? Toman tu DNS y ponen un proxy inverso entre tu sitio y los clientes. Ese proxy inverso entonces usa una CDN para servir tu página desde algún server en una ubicación conveniente, y puede reescribir el HTML/CSS/JS de maneras que lo hagan más rápido/ seguro/mejor.
Así mismo se supone que protege mi sitio de distintos tipos de ataque (el único que podría afectarme es un DOS pero gracias igual ;-)
Así mismo, ofrecen una plataforma para que apps me puedan proveer servicios como detección de intrusos, analíticos y otros, que es una muy buena idea.
Así que me creé una cuenta en cloudflare.com y la configurá para que //ralsina.me (que es este mismo sitio excepto que no cuenta bien los comentarios) sea servido via CludFlare, y ralsina.me se sirva directo.
Conclusiones hasta ahora:
El setup es muy fácil.
Funciona, aún los features experimentales.
Parece ser ligeramente más rápido, lo que no es una sorpresa, ya que el mini server que tiene este sitio tiene buena conectividad y muchos recursos libres.
Hace un buen trabajo de optimizar automáticamente cosas de maneras generalmente aceptadas como correctas (en otras palabras, mis números de Pingdom y YSlow mejoraron)
Así que no duele, capaz que sirve. Creo que voy a mover todos los sitios esta noche.
