Hi, I am a dog-publisher---what a surprise, right? I am mexican and, as you can
|
||
|
|
see, English is not my first language. But whatever. My education background
|
||
|
|
is on Philosophy, specifically Philosophy of Culture. My grade studies focus
|
||
|
|
on intellectual property---mainly copyright---, free culture, free software
|
||
|
|
and, of course, publishing. If you still want a name, call me Nika Zhenya.
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
This blog is about publishing and coding. But it _doesn't_ approach on
|
||
|
|
techniques that mades great code. Actually my programming skills are kind of
|
||
|
|
narrow. I have the following opinions. (a) If you use a computer to made
|
||
|
|
publications, not matter their output, _publishing is coding_. (b) Publishing
|
||
|
|
it is not just about developing software or skills, it is also a tradition, a
|
||
|
|
profession, an art but also a _method_. (c) To be able to visualize that, we
|
||
|
|
have to talk about how publishing implies and affects how we do culture. (d) If
|
||
|
|
we don't criticize and _self-criticize_ our work, we are lost.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In other terms, this blog is about what surrounds and what is supposed to be
|
||
|
|
the foundations of publishing. Yeah, of course you are gonna find technical
|
||
|
|
writing. However, it is just because on those days the spine of publishing
|
||
|
|
talks with zeros and ones. So, let start to think what is publishing
|
||
|
|
nowadays!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some last words. I have to admit I don't feel comfortable about writing in
|
||
|
|
English. I find unfair that we, people from Latin America, have to use
|
||
|
|
this language in order to be noticed. It makes me feel bad that we are
|
||
|
|
constantly translating what other persons are saying while just a few homies
|
||
|
|
translate from Spanish to English. So I decided to have at least a bilingual
|
||
|
|
blog. I write in English while I translate to Spanish---so I can improve this
|
||
|
|
skill; also: thanks +++SO+++ for help me to improve the English version xoxo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That is not enough and doesn't invite to collaboration. So this blog uses po
|
||
|
|
files for its contents. You can always collaborate in the translation or edition
|
||
|
|
of any language. Just [contact me](https://perrotuerto.blog/contact.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's all folks! And don't forget: fuck adds. Fuck spam. And fuck proprietary
|
||
|
|
culture. Freedom to the moon!
