Our company recently updated my colleague’s aging Powerbook to a brand spanking new dual-G5 desktop with a 20” Apple Cinema Display. (I expect his productivity to quadruple :-) This is the same setup I have at home, and so Mike ask me to put together some notes regarding my backup strategy. I decided to write this up as a blog article, for later reference.

This morning I spent about 45 minutes sitting in the office of someone working in professional services (a "Gestoria" as it's called here. It's a business that handles the paperwork, accounting, etc. related to running a company.). Of those 45 minutes, I'd say more than half were spent listening to the lady attending to people phoning in with questions.

Those closest to me know that I suffer from bag addiction — a condition characterized by a never-ending search for just the right bag, for just the right occasion. My latest fix arrived today in the mail (thanks, Mom!) — a Timbuk2 Euro Tote.

This past weekend, we decided to stay a bit closer to home, and take a little tour through the local mountains. We started the day by heading down the coast towards Estepona (about 15 minutes away), and then turning inland to climb the towering mountain of "Los Reales."

MakaluMedia has an urgent need for a software engineer to work onsite at our office in Darmstadt, Germany, beginning September, 2005 (or as soon as possible). The successful candidate should have considerable experience in the design, development and deployment of web-based applications on the Linux (or similar) platform, the PHP scripting language, and the MySQL (or similar) database. Additional experience with system installation, configuration and administration (web servers, databases, networking, etc.) is considered a plus.

Today we took a trip to a day trip to Ardales, Spain - about an hour and a bit from home. We'd hoped to visit El Chorro, home of the (in)famous Camino del Rey. Unfortunately, the road to El Chorro was cut, and, being Spain, without any notice of why or how long it will remain so.
