My name is Oleguer Canal, and here are some FAQs:
Are there really any FAQs? Or are you just asking yourself stuff to sound smart?
The second thing.
What does “bocachancla” mean?
Boca-chancla is a Spanish colloquial term which combines: “boca” (mouth 🫦) and “chancla” (flip-flop 🩴). It is used humorously for people that speak carelessly or without deep knowledge (suggesting that their mouth is as loose as a flip-flop). If you read my posts (which I suggest you do), you’ll see that some arguments might be a bit hand-wavy. So, as a disclaimer-kind-of-measure, I thought I’d be better off directly embracing my bocachanclesness.
Besides blogging like a drunk monkey, what are your interests?
I have more hobbies than time (and skill) to do them properly. In particular, I like climbing 🐒, and many other sports 🚴♂️🏃♂️🏊♂️🧘♂️🏔️, but mainly climbing 🐒. I also enjoy wasting my time dancing salsa 💃, taking horrible pictures 📸, living la surf lyfe 🏄♂️, being an ornithology connoisseur 🐦 (I know of its existence), and traveling 🌍 (yes traveling, yes I am very unique, and yes I also enjoy drinking potable water).
Why so many ramblings on your posts?
I can’t help it! I have a condition that, whenever I start talking about AI, my brain switches to old-guy war-story-telling mode. This makes it impossible not to go on random tangents whenever I see the sightliest topic connection. This is a self-diagnose which hasn’t been confirmed by any doctor, so I don’t have any proof of it. But I don’t have any doubts either! I know because I possess a pair of sandals that allow me to see reality as it is. I don’t put then on much because raw reality can be a bit demotivating… Anyway, going back to the main topic, this scene perfectly represents my psychologically-concerning and digression-based writing style.
This “about me” page is awesome! Is it humanly possible to write an even better one?
Good question! And yes, check this out 😎. I know you didn’t ask but I had other blogs in the past (CampusAI, Medium) which I intend to improve and move here who am I trying to fool…
Btw, I support global health and climate change mitigation through effective altruism: A philosophy and community focused on using evidence to fund the highest-impact initiatives (most people helped per $ invested). Not a flex; just leaving the links in case you’re unfamiliar with it and want to learn how to help (others, animals, and the environment) as much as possible. Talking about altruism, big shoutout to Oleguer Canal for sponsoring this blog 🔥
