Just a space to drop some of my thoughts and ideas... and maybe share stuff, don't know... looks like a good idea anyway...Remember, this blog reflects my own thoughts and not those of my employer.

Basic rule: Always, Always do a backup
Hellooo,
Sad day for the IT industry... or at least for one of the new comers... hey! wait a second, that's not right... MS has being with us for a long time (for our sins, or glory). But, this huge mega company, make mistakes (loads of thems...).
Now they broke one of the basic rules of IT support, "whatever you do, do a backup first!!", or the classic, "you only have what you back up!"... and MS has nothing of their sidekick DB nowadays... or for what it is worth, probably no procedure to do the backup neither
so read, and cry.... Sidekick used to be quite a popular system, I wonder if they will still be alive after this...
Perhaps get a BB or an IPhone (and remember to do your own backups...)

What about a great job in NSA?
Hi,
Remember when you used to think that becoming a hacker was the coolest idea ever? You have loads of fun, play with technology, play a bit more, become a super spy for the biggest country in the world (tsk tsk... not the US of A), and then if somethign goes bad... well, obviusly you get a great paid job in the NSA finding all your other hacker friends...
Well, the fun is all gone, now they look after hackers the same way they do with any other criminal...but, are they really criminals? Well, they are many types of hackers (yeah, I know, there are several types of criminals as well, but stay with me...). You have the good guys and the bad guys...
so why not still keep the good guys around, and use then to hunt the bad guys? It doesn't seem like a bad idea, you give someone a great job, and their dream job, they can work for you 20 hours a day (because they were doing it already anyway)... and they know what the bad guys are doing...
But well, probably Gary is not the best example, and he will most probably try to catch UFOs instead of the bad guys...
So, now instead of the great paid job, now you can get your name in wikipedia - And you should be happy about that!!!
Anyhow, keep looking at the sky... you migth see a rock or two...

There are really lots of wine to try, but this one might become handy... or perhaps not...
I don't know I'm playing with my solaris box again, this time, trying to get Picasa to work on it... and it is becoming a challenge...

Tacto
Ceremonial - UK vs USA.
El avión presidencial Air Force One aterriza en Heathrow y el presidente Bush se dirige a una recepción por parte de la Reina de Inglaterra.
Luego, Bush y la Reina son transportados en un magnífico carruaje del siglo 17, tirado por seis caballos blancos.
Van hacia el Palacio de Buckingham, saludando al público de miles de alborozados británicos; todo va bien.
De pronto, el último caballo de la derecha se tira el más horrendo y fuerte pedo que se haya oído en todo el Imperio Británico. Sacude el carruaje, el olor es atroz!
Los dos dignatarios hacen lo posible para disimular el incidente.
La Reina se dirige al Presidente Bush:
- "Mr. President, por favor acepte mis disculpas. Entenderá que hay cosas que ni siquiera una reina puede controlar".
Bush, con su aplomo habitual, contesta:
- "Majestad, no le de al asunto la menor importancia. Hasta que Ud. lo mencionó, pensaba que fue uno de los caballos".

TEXTO:
Las bebidas alcohólicas pueden reflejar la personalidad y las intenciones de
un hombre. Un experto realizó una lista sobre los tragos que un verdadero
hombre jamás debe elegir
Hay que tener mucho cuidado con la imagen que uno da en un bar. No basta con
seleccionar una buena vestimenta o arreglar con esmero el peinado. Mucho más
revela la bebida que se elige.
Para evitar "meter la pata" a la hora de impresionar a una chica en una
salida especial, el barman Dave Jacobson, encargado del bar del Restaurante
Miami, en Minneapolis, dio sus recomendaciones a los hombres que quieren
sorprender, las cuales fueron publicadas en el diario 20 Minutos.
* Nada de mezclas: un verdadero macho no pediría jamás esas bebidas que
incluyen frutas y colores extraños. No hay que llamar la atención de esa
manera.
* Sin adornos es mejor: alejarse de las sombrillitas, palitos para revolver
o cerezas. No hay que pedir tragos para niños.
* No a las pajitas: pocas cosas son menos sexies que un hombre succionando
un sorbete. Jamás funcionará para conquistar a una mujer.
* Seguir los consejos de un profesional: pedir un martini preparado con
ginebra o vodka con vermouth, como lo haría el agente 007, es siempre una
opción recomendada.
