Well.. I admire what certain people can do. Some are very music-friendly. Some, like me, are geeks. But when the two of your passions join, you can chive things like this: Or like this: On this last sample, you can watch some of the very rare RSoD  Read More →

I’m VERY exited about this… The first TEDx (x is for independent talks) in Buenos Aires is about to be materialized next April 8… And I got my ticket!! Finding one was a truly adventure. Just 1 in 6 or 7 pre-registered got his ticket. But.. What is TED? TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along... Read→

I’ve just saw this on XKCD… Impressive.  Read More →

Microsoft Live Labs has a new baby: Pivot. Pivot makes it easier to interact with massive amounts of data in ways that are powerful, informative, and fun. We tried to step back and design an interaction model that accommodates the complexity and scale of information rather than the traditional structure of the Web. My firt impression: Huuge potential. It is what I think that future search methods should be. A mix between related data, context information, and visual search. The only thing that I... Read→

I have been using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and TFS 2010. They are awesome! VS2010 is going to be a great poroduct, when it goes RTM. I see a lot of effort on making may life as developer a lot more easy. The integration with Visual Studio Gallery is good (could be better, like allowing to search by cost of the extension, more a la site version). On the PDC 2009 MS that the free version of Code Rush will also be available for Vs2010 developers. I will include some captures as soon as possible. On... Read→

Right now I am playing With Oxite a Open source CMS made by Microsoft. This is an Alpha release and I must Admit, once i managed to build it (yes, the setup process needs some corrections, but the comments helps a lot with the process). Once it has been compiled… works like a charm. It is a low end blog. It does not have any of the fancy or the minimum features yet (ie: No RSS/Atom, no anti-spam). The developers also say that is not production ready yet… but I saw some sites using it. Adding... Read→

On the main page of the blog, on right side is a section Called Digsby. This allows you to contact me using IM. Instant communication at your service. Digsby is a all-in-one IM + Email + Social Network client that helps me a lot to be communicated with everyone. Plus is a very good Twitter client (but I am still preferring TweetDeck as my main Desktop client). Update: By security reasons I removed The twitter integration on the Blog. I’ll attempt to restore it… But all the options I tried... Read→

In the past days I called the Tech support for my HP laptop, the optical dive is not working as it should (crazy sounds when reading CDs and DVDs), so, I called on order to obtain a replacement. I have a year of warranty. The First thing that a call center agent should NEVER do is to ask you to erase ALL your data (it does not matter if you have a backup or not). The Second thing that a call center agent should NEVER do is to assume is talking to an idiot, specially if the customer is giving you... Read→
