Gianna Jessen and the Silent Holocaust

I think most people will deny a holocaust until they begin seeing the victims. Fortunately this is starting to happen. Abortion survivors are speaking up, and what we are learning ain't pretty.

Alfa Romeo Brera

You simply cannot not love this car...

Best Description of the Alfa Brera I´ve found: italiaspeed.com

Roadtest at europeancarweb.com

Barbarians at the Gate (or the world of Private Equity)

Today I was at a lunch with the portfolio manager of a big PE firm and among the things I picked up was the title of this film which, from the trailer at least, looks like a pretty good orientation/introduction movie for those thinking of going to this industry. Has anyone seen it?

Shipping from Boston to Chile

Today I talked to a friend at MIT who needed shipping advice.

Once you graduate and start a new life, one quickly forgets how valuable all that logistics experience actually is.

So in order to contribute to our collective memory (and my own fragile memory) I am listing a couple of useful website for those who are leaving MIT. It mostly applies to those going to Chile.

Shipping:

I used http://www.iqglobal.com/ and was very happy. It is very straightforward and you do everything online. They come pick it up at your place.

For those going to Chile you will need to hire someone to do all the paper work at Valparaiso.

Pacific Anchor Line "Chile" (www.pal.cl)

And then for getting your stuff from Valparaiso to Santiago you can use Servicios Portuarios del Pacifico. They don't have a website but you can reach them at 02-7534080 and 07-7958579. 

Again all of them were excellent.

Ubuntu Linux: Mouse Moves on its own...

I'm sure we all have experienced that we are typing and the cursor suddenly changes place and starts typing somewhere else. Apparently this is due to the fact that we accidently touch the mouse pad of the laptop. 

After unsuccessfully trying many solutions, which include installing Gsynaptics and getting the following message: 

  GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics

I found a simple beautiful way to get around this. Go to the Ubuntu Software Center and install  the TouchFreeze application. And that's it! What this application does is freeze the touch pad while you are typing and re activate it after a configurable delay based on your last key stroke.
