So i was able to locate my old wordpress database, which i thought was lost in the latest server migration.

Once I found it, I thought it was time to move on from Wordpress (which i always thought lacked functionality), and went ahead and sucked it into the best CMS there is to date.

Lots of things need to happen on this site to restore some of the audio and video, but changing platforms was a nice first step.  I am currently super bogged down with loads of webwork at our company, so this may take some time.

i had installed Vista on my DELL laptop to test out some custom software for work. Dell's have a recovery utility that restore your PC to clean factory default settings with no need for a CD installation (a huge plus for me).

Vista beautifully fucked up the master boot record making the recovery impossible. luckily i found the great DSRfix utility online, but this was only the beginning. i was forced to return to the floppy disk days as the countless (like 5 or so) bootup CDs to DOS failed to work.

I was surprised to see all computers at internet cafes in La Paz running windows vista. It turns out they weren't. Don't want to pay for Vista? Not ready for an upgrade? Then install the Brico Vista Inspirat patch.

It had me fooled.

So, I have a couple cool posts coming, but just to keep the blogging momentum going, I'll write about my drupal site not indexing properly. Since I'm getting closer to this CMS launch for our company's new Asia Pacific office, I had to make sure I got this solved ASAP.

Ever since the 1990's, I've been shooting amateur footage with friends about the things we were really interested in at the time. It was great to capture those moments and to be able to share things visually to our other friends and acquaintances.

It seems our conversations about data have stopped being about megabytes years ago. When we talk amoungst ourselves in terms of quantifying data, we discuss gigabytes and terabytes! Even that won't last much longer as managing media in the 1GB and above file size becomes more mainstream.

Last month's Cavalier outage that affected the entire DC metro area certainly had me thinking megabytes. When Cavalier's router failure took out our phone and internet for 24 hours, all of our communications were pulled from undeneath our feet simultaneously.
