I started programming in the '90s, when computers were more expensive than cars and there was no Internet. Those were the times of MS-DOS, Turbo Pascal, floppy disks. In the early 2000s it was really difficult to find good technical material on programming in Spanish. There were no online translation services either. So, I started translating some articles, tutorials, books, mainly in English and Russian. That's probably the main reason why I was hired as a professor at the Faculty of Systems Engineering. I also worked for BellSouth, developing CDMA software before the smartphone era.

Currently I develop telecommunications solutions for an aerospace company, edit the CelerSMS Journal and volunteer at the Educamas Foundation.

Your book mentions that there is an XM file which is just 905 bytes. Where can I get this file? Is it the smallest XM file ever?

Vladimir Kameñar That is «mini.xm» by ReSampled, a famous Russian music producer. The file is included into the freeware uFMOD delivery: https://ufmod.sourceforge.io/
T…moreThat is «mini.xm» by ReSampled, a famous Russian music producer. The file is included into the freeware uFMOD delivery: https://ufmod.sourceforge.io/
The VB6 example has this file. The uncompressed file size is 905 bytes in "stripped XM" file format. You can convert it to standard XM file format using the xmstrip tool, which is included into the same delivery. Just load the file, select "stick to standard", and then click "Go!" to overwrite the file. The file size in standard XM file format is 1162 bytes.
More information about this track in Russian here (the author has published a remix in 2020): https://promodj.com/synthwave/blog/11...
This is the smallest composition in XM format I have ever seen. Maybe the smallest XM file can be an empty song, without any patterns. However, the smallest full-fledged composition in XM format is this «mini.xm».(less)

I found some claims that you created a telecommunication protocol CriptoNukak. Is that the correct name? Not Crypto? Where can I find the specs or further information?

The last part of the name stands for the Nukak-Maku, an indigenous tribe in Colombia. There are some papers describing the use of this protocol in several hospitals in Colombia. I don’t know if there is anything available in electronic format though. This protocol was created in 2004 when technical specs were still written on paper. I believe that the intellectual property belongs to the National University of Colombia.(less)

Vladimir Kameñar and 1 other person liked Waqar Ahmed's review of Performance Analysis and Tuning on Modern CPUs: "This book is about 170 pages, but don't let the size fool you, because there's a lot of useful information packed in these pages. Warning: This book is not for you if you are looking for performance optimization. This is about performance tuning" Read more of this review »
