Do upgrade. It makes things Just Work.
Right now I’ve got my Nokia E62 connected to a WinXP instance without having to do any additional work than what I did before. So it’s all good now.
Hey! My third gen iPod works too! The halcyon days of Winamp + ml_ipod have come back. No more suffering around [...]

VirtualBox 2.0.6

Ubuntu 8.10 Static IP addresses
2008/November/11 – 1:48
It looks like I’m not the only one to have run into difficulties with NetworkManager 0.7 in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.
Myself I was forced to get rid of NetworkManager for two reasons:
I needed my virtual machine instances to have Real Networking (better known as Host Networking) in VirtualBox.
My ISP’s DNS servers suck. They like to point [...]
Virtualbox on Ubuntu 8.10
2008/October/25 – 21:54
So I finally built a new computer (more on that later). Put the Intrepid Ibex RC on the system and it’s been working flawlessly. For a release candidate, it’s working out much better than Hardy (it was installed for about 20 minutes).
Since I’ve got enough CPU and RAM to put a couple of VMs, went [...]
Over the weekend
2008/October/7 – 0:59
Last Friday we had Naza Space Circus here in Tijuana. Loads of fun, during which I met a special girl who managed to get me into a creative mood. Which itself is extremely strange, as I haven’t got an ounce of creativity in my bones. But manage she did, much to our shared enjoyment.
Got to [...]
Of stubborn registrar
2008/September/29 – 19:30
I registered this domain through Moniker.com. Not the cheapest registrar around, but they seemed like a good place to register domains for a good price for a good set of features, plus comments made in various webmaster forums recommended this company over other registrars.
So a few months back I went ahead and got this domain [...]
slotMusic
2008/September/27 – 11:19
I was going to put here a full translation of my rant about slotMusic, that new misbegotten product shit out by SanDisk and the Big Labels, but it’d would be a bit redundant given the reactions throughout the blogosphere; so I’ll just list out the more salient points:
Big Labels refuse to accept the way people [...]
$100B “Internet Idiot” Industry Set To Explode
2008/September/25 – 17:45
Over at TekPopuli:
To many geeks, the billions of dollars that are exchanged every year through the misunderstanding of what constitutes a link freely given, and a link that is either paid for, or is associated with an affiliate marketing program, or multi-level-marketing program, is so shocking that many simply refuse to believe it.
It hurts to [...]
De Snobs que se Creen Hippes y les gusta Linux
2008/September/18 – 15:23
Over at Atijuanate, a metroblog based here in Tijuana:
No comprendo el afán de estos linuxeros por defender un modelo como lo es el software libre, el cual me impide a mi como programador que me mate mas de 5 años perfeccionando mis conocimientos en x o y lenguaje y en claro la lógica y modo [...]
Of snobbish shops
2008/September/8 – 17:12
Even though I wrote this a few days ago, I got pissed off again when I was translating this.
Two weeks ago I decided to get a new battery for my third-get iPod since the battery gave out a long time ago. This would be the second time I change it and judging by this situation, [...]
Simple but effective hacks
2008/July/25 – 23:17
I’ve been using these hacks for a long time now… since Firebird 0.7. Thought someone might find good use for them.
The first one up is userChrome.css, located in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile_dir>/chrome. There is a built-in file called userChrome-example.css which you can build on top of, which is what I’ve done. To this file I only made a [...]
