quick iso images on windows October 24, 2008
Posted by Alvaro Ramirez in : tips, windows , add a commentWhile at work, I needed to create an image of a dvd. Before I went off to search for some free utility on Windows, I checked if cygwin actually had dd. It does!

Posted by Alvaro Ramirez in : uncategorized, cooking, food, restaurants , 2commentsA few months ago, I went to Wahaca (mexican restaurant). On the way out, they hand out matchboxes with chilly pepper seeds. I planted them them on a spare pot I had. I wasn’t too optimistic about it, given the weather in London.
