Foggy afternoon in Bs As


Actually, it was like that the whole effing day... Humid to the bone, with some gutsy winds a few intermittent tough showers.
At least it is the winter, and we aren't liquefying onto the pavement.

On food


This turned out with a little complication, nothing really serious, but I have to take care with the food from now on; I'm officially old.

Not that I didn't take care with what I eat to begin with... I don't eat junk food, perhaps used to eat to pizzas a month -with luck, the best pizza is was just a couple of blocks from home, Tomasso- and perhaps a Burger King Double Whooper every two months or so... And no alcohol whatsoever, not a drop, I don't like it, for instance, I guess there are literally years that I don't drink a beer.

Got banned from Coca Cola I can't believe that one... Used to drink something like two fucking glasses a day, that's nothing! Moved to Sprite... And no more empanadas, that's a tough one, used to lunch one of jamón y queso on a daily basis... The best in the universe a block and a half, Via Appia.

I'm already a tall/ skinny MF (1.80 mts & less than 70 Kgs) with this new diet gonna look like a POW camp survivor.

Flash and Twitter are the scouts


The first ones, the forward forces... The little green men will come later, and chew and spit whatever it is left of our brains.

A riddle inside of a mighty book

Covered by work?
Yes indeed, but, always, come hell or high water, making some little time for reading... No matter what, matter of fact, I've unplugged my TV/ DVD player, literally, no temptations whatsoever.

Finished the Beevor one on D-Day; it was really good, certainly I can see why it got all that attention it got, but, for the moment, my favorite on the Europe campaign remains Ambrose "Citizen Soldiers".

The one I'm reading now, Beevor's one on Stalingrad it is, to put it simply, quite an amazing book.

Su Mystery Theater (22)


Installed these two today, things seem to be pretty much ok.
The new releases of iTunes looks like they have fixed the sluggishness of prior version 9, at least on my Quicksilver.

Have a better one

Right.
There is no doubt now... The lows don't even go below 10, so sayonara.
The forecast for tomorrow claims that we will even reach 25, so... Once the 26 mark is passed upwards, we are royally screwed, and thats final.

Lucid Lynx: after install tidbits (II)


Impossible to left out the magnificent GTK theme, the so-called "controls", of Dichotomy.
The hot looking theme that goes hand in hand with the Ambiance one.

The current Ubuntu theme

Plain & simple, nothing fancy nor complicated for the poor and underpowered Inspiron 1000.

Trading Places

Switched the hard disk drives from Hercules, the Sony Vaio mighty (and freaking noisy) beast, to the new portable baby I got, the Inspiron 1000.

This being Linux and all, I had to do absolutely nothing, besides switching the actual hard drives, after that, the new drive inside the Inspiron booted, recognized the WiFi card, connected me to the Access Point and thats it, end of story.
Linux magic.

Stone cold winter (3)


Winter is still among us, thanks goodness...
This has been not the coldest, but the one with the most continuous days of cold temperature that I can remember.

Another Jawa Saturday


Well, got me a new baby... Been pretty busy lately, lots of work around, but at least got this "new" computer for playing and ripping it open during this long weekend.

Yesterday cleaned its guts, its amazing how much of us ends up inside a computer, much of us in the disgusting sense of the word (dirt, hair, crap).
The box (named Zeus on my LAN) is not rocket, a Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz, but it certainly beats the shit out of Orbis Tertius (link 1 & link 2).
Lucid seems to go along quite well with the ASUS MoBo too.

Stupid (& dangerous) menu option


Of course, you'll still have to confirm the option if you choose "Format"by mistake, but, nevertheless, I believe it should be farther away than the "Safely Remove" option.
