So everybody knows by now that three trains were bombed early this morning in the Spanish capital Madrid. The bombs went off at rush hour, when the trains were packed with workers, students and kids that were on their way to work, school or uni.

The footage on TV is quite horrible, but most of the info coming from the TV station sounds like unconfirmed rumours. As time passes, more and more officials talk about ETA being behind this mass murder, even if it's not their "style" (when they place bombs on public places, they use to call some newspaper to notify where the bomb is and at what time it's programmed to go off). On Sunday, there's a presidential election in Spain, so who knows if this is their way of doing their campaigning. Others talk about some Al Qaeda-like organization doing this, but as I said, nothing is clear right now, besides the number of dead (173 at this time) which will keep rising as hours pass.

Terrible :(

After my little crisis of last week (this blog entry I wrote last Wednesday, but in the last moment I decided not to publish it, just to see how it evolutioned), I spent the last 7 or 8 days basically ignoring most of my mail, and it was a relief. Ok, in the last day I've had to do a lot of cleanup, but it felt quite good.

I unsubscribed from many of the Debian lists I still followed, as well as some minor non-Debian ones. I still need to talk to many people to see how I distribute my work load with others, but I guess I'll find plenty of volunteers to help me with some stuff.

The Softcatalà people are organizing some conferences in Barcelona in April. I'll be doing a brief introduction to the GNOME translation effort, while Guillem will be talking about the Debian Catalan team. Other Softcatalà members will be talking about Fedora, OpenOffice and Mozilla, and the KDE translators will be around too. Sounds very interesting. Also, in July, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya will be hosting a Free Software congress, with plenty of Debian presence.

The duathlon season keeps going. Last week we had a very nice race, and I luckily discovered that my ankle pain was caused by my new training shoes. Since I went back to use the old ones, the problem is gone, so I hope I'll be able to run normally again.
