iBlog Mini in November

Monday, August 24th, 2009

I hate to be one of the first to break it but an IBlog Mini in November is already in its planning stage. Details are still sketchy but CEL (Consumer Electronics Live) will be a big sponsor. GREATWEBHOST.COM.PH will also be part of it from day one just like the previous IBlog summit and we hope to give away free BLOG plans for a year to attendees of the event (except to the few who have availed of this in the last summit). I would personally attend the event if the work hours and situation in the Philippines would permit it.

Asus a8j well supported in Ubuntu

Monday, August 24th, 2009

I scouted several ads websites to buy an affordable used laptop and got myself an Asus A8j yesterday for just 15000 Php. My only other choice was an even cheaper Neo B2165 N which is usually locally sold preloaded with another version of Linux when brand new- and I figured that I would not have a hard time putting Ubuntu on it. So far, considering the performance for the price I got it, I say this is very much worth it. (Much like the Nokia 5800 I bought recently, that too is a price per performance winner at less than half the price of an Iphone.)

So you think you are good enough in minesweeper!

Until you encounter a situation like this where in no matter how many mines you have discovered you will end up depending on your luck (and not skill) to solve the puzzle.

That image is at least 6 years old dating back to my college days. After that, I think I have stopped playing minesweeper never mind that I was already rarely on a windows desktop back then. Good thing Mandrake linux back in the old days have Powermanga bundled and it was a good outlet when ever you are already stressed out studying.
