About this site
This is just another site on the web.This is one of the top 500 sites
on the web according to Alexa.
In the past it has lived under different names—and perhaps it has belonged
to different owners—but at the moment its name has a very silly prefix
on it.
If there is anything that may distinguish this site from others is that
it is what I call a parallel web site. This means that for every page P
on this site, there may exist multiple versions of P and all of them co-exist
under the same URL of P. Take this page as an example: refresh the page
and you may get a different version of it; a version
that conveys the same meaning (sometimesmost of the time) but it’s
written in a different way. You can find out more about this
idea in the post Parallel Blogs.
It’s a silly idea,It’s a tremendous idea, I know.

About me
I’m Marcos.
To the other one, to Marcos, is to whom things happen. From Marcos
I find out through the e-mail and I see his name in a list of
meeting attendees, in the output of git blame, or in a Rundfunkbeitrag
bill. I like to read books, to take walks with my wife, to go out for
a run from time to time, maps, football juggling and computer programming;
he shares these preferences too, but in a vain way that turns them
into the attributes of an actor. Little by little, I am giving over
everything to him, although I am quite aware of his perverse custom
of falsifying and magnifying things (he usually talks to his colleagues
using terms like SOLID, good practices, DDD… and I
never fully understand it).
I enjoy very much the act of creating something (anything) from
scratch (at work I don’t practice this as much as I would like),
but Marcos always insists in making these creations useful in some
way… I never fully understood that either.
The About me section is paraphrasing the short story Borges y Yo.
