pink v.smile tv learning system for sale

My wife and I are selling one of Kysa's barely-used toys. It's one of Vtech's multi-awarded preschool consoles and one of the best educational toys around.

It's called the V.Smile TV Learning System (the ones they're selling now are new models), and it's in pink! It also comes with the Dora's Fix-it Adventure game cartridge.

We're selling it for only P4,000, after we've taken off 20% from the original retail price. It is practically brand new as it is barely used, and it's readily available for anyone here in the Philippines.

There will be no shipping charges if you're in Cebu or in Cagayan de Oro; meaning if you're somewhere else, we'll have it couriered to you and you just pay COD for shipping.

If you're interested, and would like to buy, please email me privately (jon at doblados dot net)

you're looking good, opensource!

opensource gets another breakthrough today, as canonical launches launchpad personal package archive (PPA), an ubuntu linux developers service intended to extend collaboration in software development and give the community equal opportunity to build and package code for ubuntu on the desktop, server, and for mobile applications.

great news for those itching to modify packages and contribute to the furtherance of opensource! users can make changes on packages of their choice, and these will be published in the PPA system, somewhat like a special repository.

aptly, users get the updates from the system whenever new versions of the packages become available.

more agua

just how much water can your body take? doing a little experiment while i'm on treatment. one freakin' mug-full an hour. bloated.

on work and blogging

i haven't been updating for several important, albeit lousy reasons.

work has been keeping me up at nights and i feel that if i were to write entries, i wouldn't be making much sense.

technobabble is fun, but i've long outgrown this preference for writing. call it a maturing of sorts, and i'm now ready to take things (read: blogging) to higher levels

i've almost completely forgotten about deepest sender, a cool firefox extension for blogging, and it's great to be using it again
