Pet registration for Makati City residents
Sunday, April 4th, 2010A belated goodbye
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Two years ago, I took on a job in advertising … with fear & insecurity. I knew the creative mind that is required. And knowing the ultimate left brain that I am, I doubted until the minute I was signing the contract if they or I were making a terrible mistake.
At this point in this entry, I’m supposed to give a summary of what transpired in the last couple of years. But a paragraph or two just can’t give justice to the experience.
A month ago, I officially left that company, & I’m guessing, the industry. I wish I kept a journal or took more pictures during my stint. I would’ve loved to remember all the details, especially when I’ve already moved on to my next adventure.
It was one helluva ride. And the people are still terribly missed.
Til next time.
Stay tuned
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010As some of you have probably noticed, this website is undergoing a revamp.
Although the posts & comments have already been migrated, there is still a lot to do:
- Redirecting the old URLs of the posts to its new URLs
- Making the theme more pleasing to the eye
- Possibly integrating with the Disqus commenting system (still deliberating)
- Clean up of all files & folders within the server
The Corruption in EMS Philippines
Monday, July 27th, 2009I lost my faith in the International Express Mail Service (EMS) in the Philippines. And lost a certain amount of faith in the country in the process.
I had two packages sent from abroad to the Philippines, worth $17 each. Both were sent on the same day. One was delivered right at my doorstep, and was paid P35.00.
The other package didn’t arrive. Instead, I received a parcel notice from EMS, informing me that I need to pick up the package at the EMS head office near the domestic airport in Pasay City.
The shrinking road to cross platform computing
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
They say that once you start using a Mac, you will never go back to Windows again. And I was a big enough of an idiot to believe it. So I prepared myself in the eventuality that I would become a fan boy, and converted all my data to work seamlessly with Apple’s OS X.
A Big Mistake
But then it hit me that there are a lot of things that Apple just can’t or wouldn’t do, and I had to start using Windows once again — at least for almost half of my computing tasks. Vmware Fusion or dual-booting just won’t cut it. I need these two platforms on their own separate machines for my productivity’s sake.
I also realized that the only things which makes me hang on to my Mac is its hardware, iWork Keynote, and how it renders fonts on the screen. The lack of keyboard shortcuts in the Mac is already becoming a big source of frustration, and I crave to once again be able to hit Alt-F to access the File menu.
These practically scream that I am on the brink of another big shift, especially with the looming launch of Windows 7.
I also discovered that I am not, and probably never will be, loyal to a single operating system … and that I would continuously make the change as I see fit.
Shake the fervents
There are probably other users like me who has gone past the Mac is the Greatest brouhaha.
There will probably be more, as we get additional information about Steve Job’s health, and we are reminded of the eventuality of life, and that it’s time to embrace technology & its changes without being hindered by fanaticism.
There are already applications & services who have started to make that shift: Dropbox, Evernote, Live Sync, Plaxo, and Remember the Milk, to name a few.
Others, such as Things, who had been more preoccupied with releasing their iPhone app than fixing the bugs that their users have submitted, and have not included in their roadmap a version for Windows, or even a web-based service to store data, would probably be left being used by their Mac zealots. Or whatever will be left of them in the next 10 years.
The road to cross platform computing is surprisingly not as long as it is perceived it to be. It is right here, right now.
