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 [...]

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 [...]

Like I said before, I finally got enough money to build me a new computer. I looked around for what would be the best components for a cheap machine and wound up using the list provided in the Ars Ultimate Budget Box System Guide, except for the case; all components were ordered from Newegg.com. I [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Music problems under Linux
2008/August/4 – 18:28
I have a big problem.
I’m currently unable to properly listen and administer my music under Linux. This isn’t a problem specific to Ubuntu, but it’s rather a problem caused by the media players available. On Windows I use Winamp with the ml_ipod plugin with the Classic skin. Between them I’m able to make effective everyday [...]
Change for the better

Migrated over to Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit, so haven’t posted much because of that. I’m trying to wean myself off Windows. The screenshot above is how it currently looks at 1600×1200. While it does look like Windows, obviously I’m able to do so much more (nmap, anyone?) plus I really don’t like the default GNOME look. [...]
