After not having much contact with Qt during the last months,
I decided to enter a new Nokia training in Warsaw. Qt for N8 and Symbian^3 devices.
Actually, the platform was not the most important point of the conference since you could do testing with Symbian S60 3rd edition, Maemo or the N8s provided by Forum Nokia to test in site.
The training consisted in two days, first one for beginners in Qt developing, more focused on just explaining what Qt is and how it interacts with different platforms, and second one more focused on advanced functionalities of Qt.
I have to say that the platform really improved from last time I had contact with it last year December in Copenhagen. Deploying for Maemo 5 was much more tedious that it is right now. And, apart from that, deploying for desktop, Symbian S60, Symbian^3 and Maemo, is really transparent for the Qt developer.
I think that all the effort that Nokia is putting on the Qt platform will bloom probably when the MeeGo platform will start using all the knowledge of the people who are developing for Qt right now.
But nothing can be assured, since Android and iOS are also going forward.
Let's see what 2011 is going to end up with.
It seems to be an interesting war :)

Our balance
My habits change a bit since I started to work and the blog was excluded of my habits.
I really hope I can catch up now and keep blogging more often!
Just coming back from Scotland and having some conversations with my friend Virginia, currently living in Glasgow, I was willing to talk about a very important thing in life for everybody. Our balance.
Is it more important to go out with your friends that night?
Or on the other hand it is more important to stay with your couple?
Is the job the most important part of your life? Do you think that it deserves all the time that you dedicate to it? Or you should dedicate more effort and strength to the people, family and friends?
These are questions that from my point of view are not really easy to answer. And for each of us the answers are different.
There is where we have to find the balance that will make us feel happy, comfortable with what we do and towards people who are around us.
I hope you all are finding your balance and you are happy with it!

¡Feliz día mamá!
Bien se sabe que solo hay un día de la madre al año, pero para ella, todos los días son los días del hijo, así que que menos que dedicarle a mi querida madre unas líneas en este mi modesto rincón de internet.
Siempre atenta, siempre expectante, siempre servicial, siempre ahí cuando se necesita.
Feliz día a todas las madres.
¡Feliz día mamá!
¡Gracias por estar siempre ahí!
Te quiere,
tu hijo Fer :)
P.S. Escuchando Canteros, de Felpeyu. Haciéndome estar un paso más cerca de la tierrina.

The day when I can breathe has come
After so much searching, after so much suffering and after so much patience, the day has come.
The day when I can say that I finished my studies, when I can say that I have something more than the high school studies, the day when I can say also that I am starting working, working in the field of my studies and in the field I feel so motivated.
After spending in Poland 2 weeks and a half (From February 17 until March 5) sitting 3 job interviews (Feb 17-Mobica.pl in Warsaw, Feb 19-Motorola technical panel in Krakow, March 2- Motorola HR Krakow) and to attend a day with Nokia Siemens Networks in Wroclaw (On Feb 25), on Monday the 8th I received a call from Motorola Krakow, telling me that they want me to work for them and to start working on March 16. I was quite excited, since looking for a job was starting to be quite stressful and everything but easy.
After the conversation I realized that I would not be easy to start on that day since I had to defend my thesis in Spain and the procedure was not one day long.
So the next date that the girl told me was 7th of April. A perfect date to have time for defending the thesis, to see some friends, to see and tell the family and to spend some time with my lovely family.
Detail: corporate building of Motorola in Krakow
So that was it, I arranged the defense for Thursday 18 March, 2010, having it at 9:00am.
One of the members of the jury was late and it was carried out with only two of them.
Anyway, and after not so much preparation I did not exceed the time (around 20 mins) and they gave me a higher mark than expected (9 out of 10), so I was more than happy after that, feeling that I was done with studies, that I achieved something big that day and all the previous work done was really really worth it.
Here you can have a look to a picture taken after the defense with the great groups of friends who came to see me at 9:00am defending my thesis:
About the job offer, my father was, actually, astonished and very happy for the first step I am taking in my professional career. He was so afraid of me taking a job with not good conditions and not appropriate for me. Now, he really breathes and feels the relief.
On the other hand, my mother always feels that her son is leaving home, now for good, and she was wishing to have me living at home until I don't know when...
Don't worry mom! I'll be always available when needed! ;)
My little 10 years old sister is in a similar situation, she wishes me luck with my new stage and hopes to see me soon in Krakow! (She starts very soon thinking of traveling :) )
True, I have to say goodbye to family and friends again. But a new exciting stage in life has come, a new door has been opened and I cannot miss this train, because it is sure that it comes only once...
For everyone that is reading me, please keep in mind that I am living in Krakow from April the 7th on, so if you need something or you are thinking of passing by, please let me know. You know where to find me!
A big hug for everyone and thanks for reading.

Ever closer!
Yes, it is true.
The first completed and edited release of my thesis is done. It is a reality.
After several months of learning, testing, hitting my head against the walls and many other fruitful experiences, it is done.
I have just sent it to my teacher in Poland, who has to correct it and give me the mark. I guess I'll have to smooth some things, but I feel like some weight is already off from me.
Tomorrow I'll sleep due to the lack of hours of sleep that I have right now.
Regarding that it is 4am, I guess I'll be sleeping until the morning dies...
When does the morning die? It depends on the perception of each of us. For me tomorrow I guess it'll die at 12 or 1pm :)
Good night!

Lots of news!
Let's say that today is a good mood day, as well as a fully loaded one!
First of all, I have been interviewed by Motorola Krakow for the test engineer position that they are offering.
It was just a first-step for checking my technical knowledge in communications, protocols and some other fields related with the job that they are carrying out there.
The writing of my thesis is finished in its beta version. Only the approval of my tutor in Krakow is needed for the next step, the defense.
Yesterday I've been with the group of software development for the Nokia S60 touchscreen devices and we are pretty excited and motivated about it, with new ideas, proposals and work to perform! (Thanks to the WRT offered by Nokia team)
The next weekend my ex-flatmate in Krakow and his girlfriend will visit me in Asturias, so I am also thinking on what we will do, where we will go and how I can satisfy their expectations in the best way ever!
And after the reading of "Revolución Linkedin" by Juanma Roca, I am inside that world 100%, getting more and more excited, increasing the number of contacts and growing as a (I hope soon) professional. (If you want me as a contact, you have a badget on the right of this post! ;))
So life really goes on, it does not stops, why should we stop then? ;)
Take care guys!

Catching up with Maemo and Android
The weekend that just passed by right now was starred by Android, Maemo and Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
I've been reading about how to implement applications in Android, the schema that they follow and I set up the Eclipse J2EE and the Android SDK and plugins for Eclipse.
Developer day will come to Madrid on February 13. I've applied but no answer was given still...
Hope they let me go and learn from them!
Yesterday night, a GORGEOUS 47-inches HDMI PS3 experience with COD MW2 occupied my night from 23:00 till approximately 3:30. A friend and me were completely absorted by this game, which, as it is nothing that we do in our common daily life, astonished us...
And today Maemo SDK was installed again in my Macbook, of course under VM. Since I had to install the OS again I did not install the SDK again...
On February 2 I'll attend a meeting in Madrid organised by Forum Nokia, and I'll try to force myself to arrive there with more doubts and thinkings about the Qt development...
Sincerely, I am focused on finishing my thesis, hoping to have it written next week and with a good rythm of work, but I should not skip and forget these probably sources of job in the future. I like doing it, so let's give it more than a chance!
Cheers and take the Monday easy!
