Migration completed!

I have migrated my blog from b2evo to WordPress and all redirections were done from the old posts to the new ones here…
I will write a tutorial on how to migrate since what I found online was not the whole deal and it will be useful for others.
New design coming shortly as well!

Lips Burnt by Chili

I am a big fan of spicy food?so much that I crave for it if I dont have a spciy dish often enough. Last week I went to this restaurant that I usually visit twice a month and the food was particularly more spicy than usual?or at least I felt it so.

I think I can eat really spicy food?but this time around, altough I enjoyed the dish tremendously, my lips burned during the meal. I didnt think it was anything serious?but now a few days later, I find my lips still burning and a bit puffed up. Taking a closer look to them revealed they also have tiny blisters?and this is when I discover this was my first chili related b

The Slanket: a personal Review

I dont usually review products I buy?unless they are really good or crappy enough to make me share it with world!

This time is Slanket Review time. I ordered a Slanket online and I must say a few things:

1. The United States Postal Service tracking is awesome. I knew exactly where the packet was at all times. I found out it was stuck in customs before I received the official notification for me to pick it up here in the country.

2.  The Slanket is double awesome. I know, I know?big fuzz over a blanket with sleeves? Well, it turns out that even though I love cold weather, I start suffering when we are on

About Design, startups and other random rants

Taste is subjective and design is a matter of taste. I truly believe that in order to be able to work with a client and have a happy relationship, you have to be able to know when to draw the line and move on. And I am not talking about limiting the customer?s choice?not at all. I am talking about stepping back when you and the client are clearly not on the same page.

I never thought I would end up working on web design. Never occured to me even once. I am a programmer at heart and I studied computer science.

But all true entrepeneurs out there will share this fundamental truth of a startup: you have to be willin

Cricava’s Pic from Munich Included in City Guide

A while back, a woman wrote to us about a picture we had published at Flickr and that was taken during a trip to Germany last year. She asked our permission to submit the picture and make it a candidate for an online city guide of Munich.

The picture in question was simply a picture of the angel of peace, located in the city, near the south tail of the English Garden. Wit great joy, I saw this message in my flickr account a couple of days ago:

I am delighted to let you know that your submitted photo has been selected for inclusion in the newly released seventh edition of our Schmap Munich Guide

Yay! I am so glad

Mi slanket esta en camino

Hace unos dias ordene una slanket y segun el tracking de mi orden, esta en proceso de envio. Igual con el calor que esta haciendo en esta epoca, se me hace que no le voy a dar taaaaaanto uso este invierno. Pero probablemente con el no-tan-lejano-en-el-tiempo cambio de latitud, me vendra bien en futuros inviernos :)

Lack of Dates in Posts

I find myself looking for a date in a certain article only to be either dissapointed because I couldnt find one or tired after looking for a while only to see the date in the most remote and hidden corner of the page. When I read stuff especially news or IT articles, I want to know how old it is, dont you?

About complains from users in the open source world

I just read the article ?Why You Should Reconsider How You Use Akismet? at OptiNiche. It came up as a result after doing an Askimet related search on Google. Now, the post has a point but what called for my attention was the comment?s thread which is where you usually find the most useful and juicy tidbits anyway.

The post was about the fact that you have to be careful because Askimet is not bullet proof.  In the comments someone dropped Lorelle?s name and she reacted and there was a chain of comments.

People complained saying Lorelle was too defensive but I understand Lorelle?s reaction. I oft

Guia Oleo y los snobs…

Yo uso el sitio GUIA OLEO para buscar restaurantes de vez en cuando y es muy util, pero la verdad les recomiendo que no lean las recomendaciones de los usuarios en los comentarios porque salvo una que otra excepcion son todos unos snobs o simplemente estupidos?

Ejemplo sobre una crítica de un usuario a cierto restaurante de comida asiática:

?Hacia tiempo que no comia tan mal. Ni en los mas simples comederos de las calles asiaticas se encuentra el mal servicio y la mala comida que nos sirvieron en *******. De minimalista pasaron a cero decoracion, servicio basico, vajilla occidental,

Cubecart Skin changes not on browser

If you happen to be skinning a Cubecart v4 and you seem to go insane because you dont see the changes reflected on the browser, try going to the general settings on the admin panel and go ahead and disable the SQL Query Caching which by default is set to YES.
