• El árbol que tú olvidaste
  siempre se acuerda de ti
  y le pregunta a la noche
  si serás o no feliz

  El arroyo me ha contado
  que el árbol suele decir:
  Quien se aleja junta quejas
  en vez de quedarse aquí
  

  Al que se va por el mundo
  suele sucederle así,
  que el corazón va con uno
  y uno tiene que sufrir
  Y el árbol que tú olvidaste
  siempre se acuerda de ti

  Arbolito de mi tierra
  yo te quisiera decir
  que lo que a muchos les pasa
  también me ha pasado a mí

  No quiero que me lo digan
  pero lo tengo que oír:
  Quien se aleja junta quejas
  en vez de quedarse aquí

  Atahualpa Yupanqui – El Árbol Que tú Olvidaste

  One year and counting.

• Maemo Summit '09 gave me the chance to visit Amsterdam for the second time. A city I love and can't get enough of it.

  

  All photos of Amsterdam, in its flickr set.

• Also, Berto and I took a couple of days of holidays after the summit. We visited Den Haag (flickr set):

  

  Delft (flickr set):

  

  and last but no least, Rotterdam (flickr set):

  

• Of course, I also made some pictures during the summit. Not all of these are so great as this one, though:

• I read the other day in a Finnish newspaper that the Chilean musicologist Alfonso Padilla was awarded by the Student Union of the University of Helsinki as the best international teacher.

  Of course, this is not very relevant to be in the Chilean news. We all care much more about Pellegrini's career in Real Madrid, and whether he is fired or not after every match.

• Arrived in Helsinki yesterday evening after a rocking Igalia Summit near Padrón in Galicia. Unfortunately, my luggage didn't make it with me.

  This is the third time in a row that my luggage doesn't make it with me (same happened when I came back in August after spending two months in A Coruña and on my trip to Amsterdam for the Maemo Summit in October). Downside is not having things I need with me, positive side is that it's comfortable to get your luggage delivered to you instead of having to carry it all the way from the airport. Of course it would be nice if this would be predictable, in order to have the important stuff in the hand luggage instead.

  Hopefully, it will arrive safely as it did the other two times.

Go backwards in time to October 2009.
