LINUX-THERAPY

Quite often we hear about new techniques to relieve stress. As in specific environments you shpould avoid saying that you go to the football on Sunday afternoons to yell "bloody bastard" to the referee and it's not "cool" and "trendy" enough saying you go out with your grandfather to the field to pick mushrooms, have appeared in gyms and "spas" chocolate therapy sessions, wine or flamenco-therapy, for example.

Ricardo Miguel Casilla, whose aunt teaches yoga, reiki and trascendental meditation classes, has thought to kill two birds (angry or not) with a stone: make people send to /dev/null their stress and at the same time contributing to the expansion of free software. Then, titled "Linuxterapia" there is a course open to any retired person affiliate to the Center of Day Activity for The Elders that, through the compilación of the Linux kernel hearing in the background traditional Tibetan chants, assures the complete relaxation of the participants.

Ricardo Miguel, wearing a saffron robe, receives us in a room lit by a salt lamp where we perceived the subtle aroma of incense and hear him giving us details of his technique: "When you make the first 'tar' from the source code you have downloaded, if you take good control of inhalation and exhalation, you note the pace  of your heart slows and your brain begins to emit beta waves. Then you do "make" and see how the command line shows what you are doing and the feeling of entering nirvana grips you to the point that some veteran programmer begins to levitate while pronouncing the sacred mantra 'Om' "
