Destination… Barcelona

Proyecto urus

Finally I have finished my exams, tomorrow I will stay three days in Telefónica I+D Barcelona to go work in a part of an European project, the Urus project. I can not comment the details, but I will tell you all the details that appear on the official web page of the project. The part of this project that I develop is the mobile communications with the server that coordinates the robots.

This project is based on a series of robots, which features guiding, transport and taxi. For example if you are in a great exhibition centre and you dont know how to reach the exhibition area of “60’s classic cars”, it would be possible to request a robot from your mobile to provide you one of the above functions.

Solve the “White Screen of Death” in Acer Laptops

May 8th, 2009

After a month of inquiries, it seems that I have found a solution. Until now, many models of Acer laptops suddenly display a white screen (calle “white screen of death”), this usually happens after a couple of months after purchase.

It’s very difficult to identify the problem because it’s a random error, so I start to work in the solution because I prefer to touch my computer instead of sending it to the service. Many users have sent his laptop to the Acer Service and have returned with the same fault, with the screen replaced!!
