Freaking Bs. As. summer


Every time the thing goes above 30, the shit really hits the fan, if the fan hasn't melted already.
Damn I miss the snow.

Ain't this funny?

So I got a MiniDisplay Port adapter (to DVI) so I can use the huge (and really) Apple Cinema Display (link 1 link 2 link 3) and the ADC to DVI adapter with the Macbook Pro.
Guess what, there is a bug that makes the WiFi goto Hell when the MiniDisplay Port adapter is in use...
Great thing I got an el cheapo Dynex adapter and not the expensive Apple one I guess... So much for my internet research as well...
issue with minidisplay adapter and wifi

SU Mystery Theater (25)


Long time no postings, holidays are over, and hard work ahead...
Installed these updates today, all of them in a whiff, no problems so far, after a reboot and a sleep.

Even Mighty Mouse seems to be working A Ok.

Snow DC (2)


This time, the real stuff.
I have never seen a thing like this in my life.
One moment no snow, and then the biggest snow storm I've ever seen, thick, slow and sticky snow flakes, it looked like a regular rain but on slow motion.

Vacation TV ads

I hardly watch any TV at home -don't even have cable- so, I try to make it up during my vacations :P
By far, even over the years, the best ads are the ones from Geico, close by Progressive.
The ones from Progressive don't change that much over the years (unless they change the schedule for December every year)
The Geico are out of this world, besides they seem to be everywhere all the time (this year it looks like they are a little less abundant).

Snow DC


I got my snow and sub zero (centigrade) temperature.
I'm a happy camper.

Capitol City



Once again, at DC.
I freaking love this town, amazing museums all over the fucking place, and, at least on January, a lovely cold weather, without going to radical extremes.
The best city, also, to melt down the new cheapo camera.

The torture goes on...




Some misc pictures from today's walkabout...
The one with the pipe is simply because it shocked me how many certifications/ approvals it has.
The other ones are beautiful by themselves.

New torture device


Got me an el cheapo P & S camera, so it'll be really easy to transfer here the stupid pictures I take.
Boy I'm gonna spam this place to the ground with crappy pictures from now on...

Isn't the exact opposite?


Am I wrong or the message is incorrect? The Time Machine backups, on a File Vault enabled box, should only work when the user is logged in.

TRON

Ok, I saw it today.
In 3D and all, the first movie I saw on a theater in over 6 years.
I simply love it. Period.
It is obviously impossible not to love this film after seeing the original one as a kid.
Even my little goddaughter and her cousins love it, the haven't seeing the 1982 one for obvious reasons.
