28 Hour Day

There are days that go by in a blink. There are others that seem to last forever. The main differences for me is the work load/stress, and the fact of knowing what is laying ahead for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow is going to be one of those never-ending days for me. I will have to wake up early, so I don't get stuck in traffic while heading to Madrid downtown. CENATIC (A Government Organization that promotes F/OSS and open technologies) is running a pilot course, to which they have been kind enough to invite me. Of course, I don't want to miss it. It will be pretty interesting to see how what these guys are working on.

Right after the CENATIC pilot finishes, I will have to cross the city to give a talk at the LibreSoft's Master on Free Software. Once again, I'm glad the Master course organizers invited me to speak about the projects I'm working on. Even though it isn't one of those big and fancy conferences, the LibreSoft group is formed by great researchers (and Free Software advocates), so it will be a pleasure to collaborate with them.

When I finish my talk, I'll have to hurry to head back home. I will have just a few hours to pack before my flight departs to New Your City. It'll take me an hour to reach the Barajas airport, around seven of flight, and a couple of hours more to get from Newark to my hotel in Manhattan. At that moment, it would have finished for me the never-ending day that started around 28 hours before.

Now that I have written it, I'm realizing what a hell of a day it is going to be. (sigh!).. I'm looking forward to it though. :-)
