I havent blogged in quite awhile, but reading about The Mojave Experiment pissed me off just enough to log in here and post about it.

Quite frankly this is total BS: a deliberate deception from our pals at Redmond. I am surprised they had the balls to use deception as a PR campaign. Of course, they just tested the user interface and a few new features (parental controls, etc), because CONVENIENTLY, Mojave didn't cover installation drivers, drivers, drivers, the migration hell, unsupported devices, etc.

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 started using audioscrobbler in the fall of 2004 when I was working all sorts of crazy hours. Since then, they've expanded the service and taken the model many many steps further - and at a mind boggling pace. As usual, metalheads adopted the web service at amazing rates and last.fm did a great job about not discriminating taste as it catered to music lovers across all genres.

Jesse over at www.daylightdies.com has posted a killer video our latest creation. We had a blast -- pre and post beer production.

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.

With today's workday about to start, I figured I'd put this out in crappy condition than get stuck not putting anything out at all. Well, the quality here has suffered in the name of sharing.... maybe over time, I can work on getting something cooler put together.

Disconvenience crashed at my place during their 2006 Euro tour on their day off. The next day, we took their van for a ride out to Koln, Germany and I got to watch them play at a killer dive there. Check out the video.

I haven't been here that long and some fairly extraordinary things have occured, at least, extraordinary according to a tech living in the DC area. These are the sort of events that used to be common experiences for me a decade ago. damn. Just 1 day off the plane and I'm asked to acompany Mauricio down to Sorata to meet up with some semi-pro riders from Colorado, USA who are loving the "best terrain in the world for downhill mountain biking".

Jessie filmed the following footage while she was over in Europe over Spring Break. It's rough and I put zero time into the edit, but it's sufficient to get the point across. This is my first video post on alejandro-nogales.com

Last week I migrated our Sacramento office’s web/mail server from their former unreliable host. Under my tight schedule, I based my decision on the crème-du-la-crème datacenter and their level of support.
