"Tu tiempo es limitado, de modo que no lo malgastes viviendo la vida de alguien distinto. No quedes atrapado en el dogma, que es vivir como otros piensan que deberías vivir. No dejes que los ruidos de las opiniones de los demás acallen tu propia voz interior. Y, lo que es más importante, ten el coraje para hacer lo que te dicen tu corazón y tu intuición."

Steve Jobs

Git is not deleting some items when Push [SOLUTION]

The other day i was working with my project and everytime i was making a push, it wasn't deleting the old files that have been already deleted in my localhost, and i noticed by doing "git status" something like this:

git status # On branch Master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) #

# deleted: file1.txt

# deleted: file2.txt

# deleted: file3.txt

# deleted: file4.txt

# deleted: file5.txt

and i finally found a solution after many attempts...

Just run this command after you make the

"git add ."=> groups all the files ready for a commit command 

then

"git add -u" => groups all the files ready for a commit command (it will make disappear your deleted files finally)

and "git commit -m 'description of the commit'"

And that's it, just type the command "git status" => to see what is going on now..  you souldn't now see any

# deleted: file.txt

i hope it helps, Cheers!

Como archivar mis mails en otra carpeta(Buzon de correo), MAC OS X 10.8

Como bien sabemos, ordenar nuestros emails solamente por cuentas no es suficiente, es por eso que en este tutorial quiero mostrar una solución que apesar de ser muy sencilla es muy util...

Entramos a la aplicacion Mail

Una vez dentro, veremos en el lado izquierdo la sección de Mailboxes o buzones de correo.

Veremos que tener muchas cuentas en un solo lugar puede llegar a ser muy desordenado, entonces crearemos una carpeta o Buzon de Correo nuevo (MailBox), para poder guardar los archivos importantes en esta carpeta.

Hacemos click en el "+", en la parte inferior de la imagen que se encuentra debajo de este texto.

Hacemos click en New Mailbox (Nuevo buzón de correo) 

y nos aparecerá la siguiente ventana: debemos ingresar el nombre del nuevo Buzon de correo, y el lugar en donde queramos guardarlo

Una vez creado, podremos ver en el panel de la izquierda nuestra nueva carpeta "Importante" en la cual podemos archivar todas esas cosas importantes, la carpeta se encuentra en nuestra Mac 

es momento de archivar algún mail en nuestro nuevo buzón de correo:

es simple, en el buzón de correo normal, en el cual ya tenemos varios emails... lo único que debemos hacer es: Click derecho en el mail que queremos mover.

Podemos ver la opción que dice Move To (Mover A >), hacemos click y nos aparecerán todos los buzones de correo, nosotros debemos seleccionar el nuevo buzón que acabamos de crear con el nombre "Importante" que se encuentra debajo del texto "On My Mac" (En mi mac).

Una vez realizado, vamos al nuevo Buzon seleccionando la nueva carpeta (Importante) que se enceuntra al lado izquierdo de la pantalla y veremos a los emails que han sido movidos a la carpeta o buzon llamado "importante"

Este tutorial ah sido creado para @iCades , por @chitopolo

Espero que les haya servido, saludos!

8 important Tips for travelling to Bogota, Colombia

1.- TRANSPORTATION

Taxis have a card on the back of the front right sit this card has all the prices based on the number of the taximeter it starts from 25, and 25 doesnt mean that you have to pay like this = 25 = 2.500 Pesos.. its completly another value it will be 3.500 Pesos in this case because the minimun ride is 3.500 but lets see: 

So if you see there  is UNID and VALOR... so be sure the Unidad matchs with the taximeter and just look for the right price (Valor) and pay.. don't ask otherwise they will try to charge you extra stuff...

They will try to see if you know the city asking you wich way to take.. (obviously we wont know which way to take, so they take the long way and charge you because of nothing, they told me more than 5 times that there was an extra charge because he got stucked in the traffic, but if you see the taximetter it keeps running even though we stop there, Thats normal...) so that's why is better to look at the map first so we will have more idea of where we are trying to get...

I didn't use the TransMilenio because it was very full all the time and because you have to be really carefoul with your pockets and stuff (that's what many people told me)

The price of the transmilenio on Jun 7th 2013, was 1700 Pesos (almost 1 American Dollar) and if there is some holiday they charge you 1800 (that is normal too)

2.-Shopping & Walking 

If you want to have a good time walking and making some shopping you can choose many different malls but i recommend you to go to "Zona Rosa" OR "Zona T" because there are 3 or more malls arround this part of the city and they are very close from each other.

if you want to go to the place you are staying at, late in the afternoon or in the night, it's better to take a Taxi inside from the Mall it's safer

3.- Zones

I've been in 3 different parts of the city and i will tell you my perspective

Chapinero is a good place to stay because you are in the middle of the north and the South, it doesn't take to much time to be in both of those parts of the city because Chapinero is arround the 48Street, (by the way there are many universities arround there), 

La Candelaria this is the Historic part of Bogota where you can find many historic places, Museums, the streets are very antique and everything arround there is like you where  30-50 years in the past

4.- Attractions

Museo de Oro (Gold Museum)

Museo Nacional (Historical Museum)

Plaza de Bolivar and its surroundings(Main plaza..)

La Candelaria Neighborhood..(Oldest part of Bogota)

in the Candelaria are there good handful of museums even one of Botero's (artist with the Fat People pics and sculptures)

Quinta de Bolivar ( Home of Colombian's Liberator Simon Bolivar)

Monserrate: Chruch on top of a peak....Awesome views of the entire city....

Maloka...Science musuem....

There are a tons of Malls....one to really visit is Hacienda Santa Barbara.....very beautiful.....

5.- Restaurants

depends on your tastes....

Casa Vieja is a good touristy type resturant....typical Bogotano food.

You can also try the resturants around Parque 93, Zona Rosa and Zona T.

For Fast Food nothing beats : El Corral! 

For good beer....Bogota Beer Company! 

6.- Hotels & places to stay

if you are a backpacker, i recommend you www.hostelbookers.com, www.hostelworld.com (its better to see the reviews instead of the price or another stuff)

if you want to be ina family house or something similar, you should use www.airbnb.com (i've used like 6 times) and i had a great time meeting families, and people who wanted to rent a private room, a bed or the entire apartament

or you should check www.despegar.com

7.- People

The people are friendly and helpful. Just be careful who you begin trusting....unfortunately... there are some of the best scam artist ...but this does not mean to shy away from people...just be cautious....

8.-Outside of the city

Zapaquira....for the Cathederal of Salt!! i've never been but all the people told me its amazing.... (takes more or less 2 hours from the city, people told me to take the TransMilenio heading north until you get to the "Portal Norte") and to ask wich bus goes to Zapaquira they told me it is very simple and the people are very helpful...

Guatavita: nice traditional town nearby Bogota...Lake of Guatavita has this whole legend behind it (i couldn't bee there).....

Villa de Leyva in Boyaca is such a traditional town.....its not close(i think 3-5 hours) but its worth a mention.... (i couldn't bee there also)

  I live in Bolivia and i Just arrived from Bogota so i thought is a good idea to write down some important things i've notice...

Thank you very much for reading and you can Follow me @chitopolo and like this comment, Best regards!
