That New Staff – Hi again! I bring you here new post_tag to renew l’Oasi staff. Here’s their respective presentations to the group. (The real “Trizion” actually resembled and acted a lot like Weird Al)

Those Names
Those Names – Hi again! This is an update before Monday finishes! Here I introduce the new character, “Chilla” (her real name is actually Leela)
New Illustrator
New Illustrator – Ta-Da! How’re you doing? Everything fine? Here we do an update on time! Seeking new members for l’Oasi, where many come but few stay.
New People
New people – Hop! Secret Thursday update! I’m going back to a simpler format, also I currently have less time to do stuff.
Morning in Campus Nord
Morning in Campus Nord – Hi again! I’m here again, with a new chapter of JRS “L’Oasi Needs You!”
(‘Morning in Ponyville’ was what I was singing in 2013 around the Campus when I only had to write down my thesis)
A JRS Comic
A JRS Comic – 400th issue of JRS! Also, this Friday June the 1st is officially the Tenth Anniversary of “Johnny, Roy and Steffy”. Actually, Ziritrion drew the three post_tag before, and I drew the first strips months before in my personal blog, but the JRS webcomic blog started on June the 1st of 2008.
I have in my To-Do list to put all the comics in a single volume, even digital, for whoever wants to have them all together. I’ll tell you about this soon! Also, Karibul, Fubu, m0d, people from l’Oasi, also Ziritrion (if he doesn’t forget about this) told me that, possibly, they send me something for this anniversary. I’m putting this together, also. And if somebody else wants so send something, you’re welcome to do that!
Now, I’ll be a couple of weeks preparing new story arcs, and update the “character sheets”.
Thanks to everyone who read me during this decade, at any time, and from any place of the world! Let’s keep going 10 more years!
J.L.B., El Pitiflí
P.D.: I hope that, at some point, I will learn to draw
Desing Engineering
Desing Engineering – Hi again! Another week here!
The Software Engineering 2 exams were about designing software for invented scenarios like “software to manage a gym/club/whatever”, using UML patterns. Those exams always had the same formula “We want to keep register of members, with their data… also activities, with their name… each activity has 1 to X editions, each edition 1 to N users, …”. Those problems were not much funny, like Data Structures and Algorithms, where each semester “Johnny, Roy and Steffy” had some problem reducible to some NP-difficult problem, to be solved by the students.
The Replacements
The Replacements – Hop! Tuesday night update!
Time to start replacing “real” post_tag with “invented“ ones. When I started this, I filled the JRS universe with post_tag based on real people from FIB/UPC/Casal, and made the bad choice of preserving some of their names, linking the character to the real person. That prevented me to put some of them in compromising story arcs, to not offend that real people. I also attempted to “alter history” by modifying published issues, but it was kinda complicated, although some post_tag were already anonymized/unlinked.
People come and go from the faculty and the “Casal de l’Estudiant”. Associations pass from the older generation to the newest when the first ones graduate. And this is the excuse to substitute the “real-named” post_tag. Obviously, the new post_tag will represent clichés and protagonists of real stories, but this time under new secret identities.
Abstraction in Class
Abstraction in Class – Hop! How’s it going? Fine here!
Today’s issue is featured by Borja Vallés (”But duuuuuuuuude….!”), a teacher known-by-everyone at FIB.
Selling l’Oasi
Selling l’Oasi – Hi again! Here we are.
When we sold l‘Oasi we set up a table in the middle of the Faculty Plaza, with piles of magazines, while we went down across the campus on top of an Ikea shopping cart shouting that l’Oasi was on sale. We also camped outside the computer rooms, where all the students went between sessions to check on-line their schedules, before we had smartphones.
