This morning an email was waiting from a travel friend. It was this link – http://www.galeriaelcuartito.com.ar/ – lot’s of FLASH, sorry.

I think that this week is 2 years since we visited this fantastic pizzeria in Buenos Aires. We enjoyed it enough to eat there twice – including the last night in town.

Since returning from that trip, I’ve had pizza, but only about 5 times. I’ve been ruined because I thought that I knew good pizza. I was wrong all these years. None of them compare. To me, El Cuartito has THE BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD …. so far. It is cheap too. Primera buenos!

If you are running any version of Lucid Lynx with X/Windows, these instructions should work. There is nothing specific to Gnome or KDE or any other environment here. Heck, they may work for older releases too.

What’s that saying? Some days you eat the bear and other days the bear eats you.
Or perhaps Stupid is as stupid does fits.

Ooops is something you never want to hear your system/network admin say. I’ve heard it said elsewhere and then watched as 200+ NASA servers all started rebooting. No time to save your work. No time to do anything before the screen flickers and a bios screen is displayed.

Today, I said, “ooops.”

The story is a little old, but it was new to me and I figured many people here would also be interested.

The presentation is by Mr. Rutan, famous aviator and aerospace engineer. Here’s an overview. The full PPT presentation isn’t without flaws, but using longer term temperature and CO2 data, it shows how the presentation that Vice President Gore and other we’re all gonna die people has been selected for effect.

I do system patching on servers every Saturday morning during a maintenance period. Almost always, nothing goes wrong. I’ve seen some really big patch sets for huge, complex systems go in cleanly … then there’s Java. Every Java update causes some kind of problem for Adito.

Here’s the fix to the latest and most future Java update issues with Adito … I hope.
