Impressions I would like to start, by stating the obvious, this article is just my opinion and experiences with the Lenovo W520, it’s not a comprehensive, nor professional review.

Impressions of Lenovo’s W520
27-May-11Emacs Daemon! Hell Yes!
29-Sep-08I’m late to the party, there have been several blog posts on this through the intertubes, but I have to add my w00t! For those wanting to play with this, It’s only available on the development version, meaning you’ll need to get the source from CVS/SVN/Git repos, (some distros have packages for emacs23 so look [...]
I like simple things, and I believe I’m a very simple person –though my wife of 13 years begs to differ. My quest for software that’s as simple as my needs, is an on going one, my good friend Tamgo, jokingly asks me: “What’s the OS of the month?” and he’s right I do change [...]
Design as the silver bullet (my take)
12-Jun-08While I agree with most of what Elvis say. There is a need to look deeper, there are open ends: 1.) How do you determine individuals are “qualified and prepared”? 2.) Assuming you can consistently solve point 1, if the individual does not care, is not motivated, then all preparedness and qualifications, and even professionalism [...]

I’ve read several blogs, and news sites discussing this utopian possibility, I think most make valid points in favor and against this move, but I think they still miss the big picture, and here I will detail what I believe that is. The Windows argument Some believe Apple should release OS X as an OS [...]
iPhone. The saga.
20-Sep-07By now everybody knows that Steve Jobs is a Stud evil genius. Apple has reduced the price of their iPhone product. The cries of outrage from the “Early Adopters” were so loud, that Steve thought he had discovered a new level of high definition in his iTouchPod, cause he had never heard that chorus before [...]
Busy with work.
27-Jul-07It’s been a bit since I blogged. I’ve been busy with work. I’m working on a non-deterministic algorithm, that will be used for random data generation that serve as seeds for a more complex algorithm that generates serial keys.* I know the above is very ambiguous but that’s all I’m allowed to say. It’s not [...]
