Hi, I'm Juan Pablo Pincheira, a CS Student from Chile. This is just a log with random things I'm interested in.
Multi-line commenting in TextMate
I was wondering how to do multi-line commenting in TextMate and I just found it’s so easy to do.
- Just select the text you want to be commented
- press
command + ⇧ + 7to comment, and to uncomment it too. : )
iPod touch
I finally bought an iPod touch. It’s just great, I’m in love with it. The out-of-the-box version that it had was 1.1.2. I updated to the 1.1.3 version using iTunes and then I did a jailbreak to it and installed the January applications using the Installer.app I’m happy and really not feeling regretful for the bought!
The other day I prepared this Eggy at the basket for breakfast. I discovered this through a nice flickr contact I’m always visiting.

Starting to learn Ruby
These days I’ve been doing a little search of resources for learning Ruby. I’m really interested in this object-oriented programming language. I want to share some links with you:
- The first site I started to read was about object-oriented programming concepts at the Java tutorials site. It was useful for me since I didn’t have a clue about objects, classes, methods, inheritance, concepts you’ll be able to get in touch in that site. I also mixed the reading of those concepts with Wikipedia & Google searches.
- Then I recommend going to the Ruby official site and read some examples of the language. You’ll notice that it’s so powerful and practical. Things I did in the C programming language are so easy to do with Ruby, I really love that. From the same site you’ll be able to access to a web application called Try Ruby! which is an interactive console that will show you in some minutes how Ruby works. With all these links I could get a very basic background about Ruby.
- Now I’m in the process of reading a book called Learn to Program, which is focused to beginners in programming using Ruby. I started to read this book thanks to a Ruby course I joined today, so if you want to learn Ruby you can join too!
I want to buy an iPhone but...
I saved some money during the summer (december+january) for getting an iPhone. I haven’t explored the underground unlocking world out there, that’s why I didn’t know how difficult is the iPhone unlock these days. There are a few methods to unlock it but they all need hardware intrution and I’m not going to open my future iPhone and probably get it broken. Then, what am I going to do? I’m just going to wait for a software unlock method which, some rumors say, will be out before the Apple iPhone/iPod Touch SDK release late in february. I’m thinking about buying it directly from the US Apple Store, it’s far cheaper than buying it here in Chile. 3 months agororro on object-oriented programming clarifications
“The object-oriented approach is allegedly more flexible, by separating a program into a network of subsystems, with each controlling their own data, algorithms, or devices across the entire program, but only accessible by first specifying named access to the subsystem object-class, not just by accidentally coding a similar global variable name.”rorro: “eso quiere decir que toda la funcionalidad de una clase se encapsula y se desarrollan interfaces especiales para su utilizacion desde otro sistema o por otra clase” “para acceder a las variables necesitas acceder a traves de metodos especiales y no vasta con declarar las variables” 4 months ago
