Learning is a lifetime activity. As long as you can hear, see, smell and/or feel you have the capacity to find out about something new every single day. But for some of us (like myself), there's a slight problem with retention of data. While reading Lifehacker I learned about some programs that could help me in reviewing the information I read earlier as well as help me create presentations that might be useful for future conventions and seminars. Welcome to the world of flashcards! READ MORE ABOUT IT »

I've been a long time fan of D.I.Y. Planner since the day I ditched my Palm Zire 72. But somehow I can't seem to schedule stuff correctly and end up putting off some tasks. Recently Lifehacker featured the Muji Chronotebook, a day planner that takes a much different approach to scheduling your everyday routines.

Even the new air conditioner seems to want to give up. Global warming has really changed this world we live in. Speaking of change, enough has happened the past couple of days for me to go and talk about how blogs can also change the lives of one or one million people. READ MORE ABOUT IT »

When I decided to write this entry, I had in mind to do it for posterity and for history. Little did I know that the Philippine Week in Tech (PWIT) was actually planning a comeback. Absolutely perfect timing! So I had a chance to interview the man who started it all, Adel Gabot, about his geeky project. READ MORE ABOUT IT »

Wal-Mart has recently been under the microscope for selling really cheap computers with a relatively different linux flavor called gOS. So I decided to go and try out the new OS. First thing I did was download the newest version of VMWare. More specifically, the VMWare Server 2.0 Beta. (Hey! Might as well hit two birds with one stone.) Little did I know I would run into a slight problem. I can't seem to install VMWare on my newly installed Windows XP SP2.

As usual, a couple minutes of searching gave me the answer I needed. READ MORE ABOUT IT »

I've been long overdue. So much stuff to do and yet so little time to do it! So this comes in as a long overdue post. Recently I've been invited by Steve Spalding of "How to Split an Atom" fame in a social network blog experiment. So us plus four other really cool bloggers results in a new kind of network aptly called "History of Blogging". READ MORE ABOUT IT »

Apologies for the sudden interruption of your daily viewing. Apparently my web host experienced a major unforeseen power interruption. The likes of which would never really have happened had their building manager actually informed them of it. The loss of power to their whole floor resulted to several of their servers getting fried when electricity was switched back on again.

But all's well now. Back to regular programming!
