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

I recently got Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Beta running on my HP Pavilion dv2001tu notebook, and I'm very happy with the way it's running. Here's what I've done and have been doing the past month. Nothing out of the ordinary for me, but some of the activities mentioned here could have been keeping you up late at nights, coveting much of the understated successes ofrunning Ubuntu on HP laptops.

I am officially bringing down my old tech blog after Holy Week. It has virtually become a sinkhole for all kinds of spam links and I have barely done anything to keep it up-to-date. Two of the milestones that I've unknowingly and unwittingly accomplished would include (in order, sorry): 1.

I sometimes wish it were me. But I'd rather have my daughter bask in her moment. It's just that I clearly remember the feeling. You're all bubbly and excited, and you can't stop talking about it. My daughter's graduating from preschool tomorrow, and my wife and I are as much into the rush as she is. 1st grade, here we come. *groan*

Honestly, I haven't done any coding in the last 4 months, which is really odd, because I never thought I'd be this detached from programming. But I guess there's more to life than just developing or sustaining passion for singulars. So much for trying not to stay generalist. So I have this personal domain now, and I'm just glad google apps isn't as stiff with the applications anymore. The new

Forget the housemates! Mariel Rodriguez makes this reality TV show "watchable". Half past midnight since the new season launched and the server is already borked! Good thing I got to grab this pic of Mariel before it went down (it seems to be failing intermittently...but what can you expect from an M$ OS anyway?)Here's the error I see:Could not load file or assembly 'BizModules.UltraPhotoGallery'

Almost a month of downtime. The servers were fine, but our IP addresses were not. Somehow, a system bug from one of the hosting companies caused our plan to include 14 other IP addresses, and we only maintained 6 as far as I am concerned.So the hosting company eventually understood what was happening and started asking the right questions. The bug is that the system allowed network administrators

Over a year ago, we had several servers configured for high traffic websites. A mispartioning resulted in /var becoming obscenely small, and it was only after MySQL crashed that we remembered this. We couldn’t afford more downtime if we dealt with the partition size problem, so I thought of quickly moving the data files into /home/mysql/{dbname} from /var/lib/mysql/{dbname} and create the symlink

Sure, my bosses do this all the time...in airports, hotel lobbies, and coffee shops. The mere act of "connecting" to an unsecured wireless network doubles as a necessity and as a leaching of sorts. Gotta love wireless. :)

I love thinking. They say thinking burns as many calories as when you're having sex...so you may liken thinking to sex. Sounds good, eh? But be warned. Although you can easily fake either one, you don't lose as many calories as doing it for real! This isn't a sex column, so it's best I get straight to the point and present my thoughts on what aggregated thinking is (and what constitutes faking it

Casey Kasem's American Top 40 broadcast back in April 1988 is being streamed today over XM Radio. Def Leppard's Hysteria is currently playing. Measures and measures of this classic hit flood my ears and I can't help but smile. There must have been thousands of Icehouse, Def Leppard, and Nelson (to name a few) playbacks since I got them cassette and 8-track tapes. I still think that the 1980's was

There's a pretty slick Windows application that will allow you to post directly to your Blogger Beta account. The Firefox extension Deepest Sender, which allows posting to LJ, Blogger, and Wordpress, doesn't work with Blogger Beta yet, so here's a workaround that you can do meantime. I prefer FOSS applications that run natively on GNU/Linux, but sometimes, you really need to use a platform where

I wrote a memo the other day and could not help but emphasize on the importance of using good ol' wit and common sense, when on the internet. I probably had the gall to write these since I'm recklessly doing stuff on Ubuntu and couldn't care less if an intrusion breaks something. LOL. Windoze is like walking on glass.

This is how the rear of the NetBay rack in my previous company looks like now. I headed back to CDO for Halloween vacation and was able to drop by the office to pick up some of my personal stuff. They've slapped in a Cisco router (where the yellow fibre cable hooks up to) and another L3 switch. The old firewall appliance is still there, reliable as ever. Cabling got more structured as well.

Okay, it has been around for quite some time, and I remember writing an article about this in my older tech blog. I have a month to finish a pre-proposal on something GIS-related, so I'm seeing how this can be made possible with a renewed fascination with Google Maps.I'm currently catching up on readings for my thesis pre-proposal. Some projects are quite interesting, notably those that do

I had a good consultation session with my mentor last Saturday and I got great advise for my thesis. I'm planting my foot on GIS and applications, but the whole gamut of GIS is fairly large so I had to zero in on what I really wanted to focus on. Future research prospects on GIS led me to look up Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to as GRASS. It's so cool because for
