New laptops should also have the option with no software bundled

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

On the topic of bundled softwares which are added costs to a new laptop or PC- I think that laptop manufacturers should always give the option that there is no bundled software in their products. I used an alternative operating system – (Ubuntu, Kubuntu) so I really have no need for a Windows OS. In these times of trials, any savings would always be big. Calling the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)…

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.

So you think you are good enough in minesweeper!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

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.

Minesweeper

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.

Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I have not seen the Manila Ocean Park yet (I will soon), but this one is a great aquarium sight. I just wonder how it would be if I have one like that in my house (dreaming that I have a house big for that).

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

For anyone wanting a cheap Mac-Netbook, here is a great setup. I recently managed to triple boot my MSI Wind with OSX, XP and Ubuntu (and if the disk space would permit you may be able to accomodate more Operating Systems). Here are the steps on how I got it done. (Be ready for a technical blog post!)

Some tips to be more productive with gmail

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

So, you want to be a Gmail ninja?

If you got 100 new messages, how long would it take you to get through them all? An hour? Five minutes? How would you find the important ones, reply to the ones that require an immediate reply, and mark the ones that you needed to take care of later? Would you use stars, filters, keyboard shortcuts, labels? What about Gmail Labs like tasks or canned responses?
