I am going to be merging my philly_mac/señor internacional blog with this one, and just make use of categories. Easier for me to manage, and I am all about making my life easier.

From Mirai to Xing
So after 1 year and 3 months I have decided that I will be making a move from my current company of Mirai España, in Madrid to Xing in Hamburg.
I have previously lived in Berlin for a year, so know what the German lifestyle is like. But even though I am very much looking forward [...]
Firefox Add-on Collector – What A Pile Of Crap
2.30 am local time, Spain. I have just been trying to use FireFox’s Add-on collector to manage a bunch of extensions that I like to have on my FireFox install. And my verdict, FAIL!!!
I don’t even want to go into the detail of why this is a good idea, but poor (maybe even the worse) [...]
To Puppet or to Chef, that is the Question
I have taken a break from coding ruby and rails for a couple of weeks to try and get my company’s administration is order. To do this I have been using the sysadmins automation tool called puppet, which is written in ruby, but uses an external DSL, meaning that you don’t get all the power [...]

No sooner had I decided to use Mack as a framework, that the developer announces that it will no longer be maintained.
I am being pushed into a corner.
The only frameworks left that have the maturity I would like is Rails and Merb. Rails I am not too [...]
rEdit is dead. Long live…..
Well at the moment long live textadept. All the things that I wanted to do (well not all, but easy to extended), and none of the work.
Now that is my type of project, one that I don’t have to do much work.
Textadept – A Spanner In The Works
Well a spanner may have just been thrown into the works of rEdit. But this is a spanner of the good variety.
Yesterday I was looking through some old bookmarks that I have (as you do) and came across one that I couldn’t remember why I had bookmarked, so I looked at it and found a [...]
wordpress 2.7
I just upgraded to wordpress 2.7. Very nice I must say, and with the svn upgrade it took about 30 seconds to do. Just like it should be
