“Dammit! How do I keep on missing these damn long shots?” Were the only words I remember saying that night in Solitude’s solitude, like trying to convince myself that this was an erratic movement path of the cue ball instead of the natural and usual display of my in existent athletic ability. It was all [...]
Back in those days Solitude had become what it once was, a place where dreams were born, adventures were lived through and life was… well, lived. I remember that day, mostly because it was precisely a day and not that metaphorical night where nightmares can make their way into your bed. Daylight was breaking an [...]
As I look through my 2,400 pictures on Facebook, I realize that just 2 years ago, on a day like today, I was in some silly adventure with Hisham, and Sarah around Boston, walking around Downtown, having a good beer at some bar, planning out trip to the Zoo, buying some crazy Arabic Pastries in [...]
Laughter; left and right, old and young, we were all laughing, dancing, enjoying our time on this solitude we all live. Solitude was crowded like it used to be so long ago; old friends, mates, musicians, we were all there to celebrate the end. So many of the seen, and so many more [...]
Since no matter how tired I am, my already restless mind don’t stop, therefore I started wondering what would I be doing if I knew the day of my death. What would I be doing if this would be the last year of my life? I’m pretty sure most people go through this at some [...]
101. I once turned down a date with a gorgeous Venezuelan for Chris (Gay Alert #4)
102. I’m afraid of babies; they are tiny and I’m big… you do the math.
103. Ricardo Arjona (a songwriter) taught me most of what I know about love.
104. Chris, Nelson, Jose and I ended up in the middle of St. [...]
As I hold my new nephew for the first time, I can’t stop my mind from wondering into the unknown. It’s so wonderful to see the world of possibilities in front of this new helpless tiny creature in my arms. I found myself wondering how many hearts he will break, or how many times he [...]
One purpose and one purpose only
was the reason of your creation; if only
More than 100 ramifications in your soul
in that little script that takes commands, no control
The urge of breaking free haunts you
your dream escape the improbability of the same
Like a forbidden candy, attacks your rigid heart
in the same way it beats for what made [...]
Lately it has come to my attention that I grew-up in a small world, where everyone was in one or more ways like me. We liked the same things, had fun the same way, aimed for the same success, and laughed at the same geeky jokes; it was a happy place. I never had to [...]
My Dad used to say, that when the fridge breaks you should get ready to call the mechanic, the doctor, the vet and the handyman all at the same time (paraphrasing); and I have to agree with my always wise father.
In the same month, I started a new Job, moved to a new apartment, left [...]
As I sip the last 8 ounces of sugared milk left on my cereal directly from the bowl (don’t tell mom) like I used to do when I was a kid; I start thinking of my childhood. I of course had my encounters with toughness, some coming from my parents in order to correct the [...]
Soon my life will change forever. Two of my closest friends will move farther from me, and I don’t know what to expect. It is a funny thing what a new friendship can mean in our lives, but I’m not laughing now. I have always said that people come and go, but there is always [...]
It has taken me a long time to write about this. Maybe because last month I had to write something similar of Heidi, or because writing about it makes me think of the friends that left and the ones I left behind; maybe I was just too busy dealing with all the curve balls live [...]
I looked over my hand, holding that dark oak twig that promised the Ivory body to suffer a sudden but painful death on his way to his circular crypt; I had a glimpse of the past. Past was wearing a tight chuck berry red dress that only served as a warning to all of us [...]
I love virtual machines. My home office used to have 6 servers (3 Intel, 3 SPARC), 2 laptops, and 2 workstations. On top of that I was about to add 5 more Intel servers when I decided I had to do something! I decided that the number of servers could not increase [...]
With so many Windows based servers, how do you prevent viruses from roaming across your local network? I have a home based office. I buy Microsoft Live OneCare Anti Virus for my physical machines. But then I noticed my virtual machines didn’t had the a reassuring icon on the taskbar tray showing [...]
It is fairly easy. Most Linux distributions auto mount usb drives. However, if you are like me, you may have a Linux system that has just the barebones for the purpose you have in mind. For example, I have a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) server as a photo webserver. When [...]
I was setting up my subversion server on a Linux Ubuntu machine today. Not a simple task. However, setting up a Solaris subversion is not necessarily a simple one either. Solaris binaries can be found in one of two places:
Sun Freeware - for Solaris 9.
Open Collab Net - Available for Solaris 10.
For [...]

I tried the simple stuff:
apt-get install subversion
It got me somewhere, but I wasn’t able to find the module for apache2. Maybe it is hidden somewhere within the Ubuntu installation. Who knows. I also tried the procedure described on the Ubuntu Forum to no avail. It requires
So I decided to go the [...]
