Ubuntu Madness

OS or Operating System as we call it, is a program that consists of different softwares that provides users easy access to different computer capabilities such as document editing, program development, web designing, web viewing, and many more. These OSs nowadays are a big part of the computer community for many years now. It has served many establishments, individuals for different purposes such as document editing, graphic designing, web programming, gaming, etc.

The number one Operating System that is currently in use around the globe is the Microsoft Windows Operating Series. These operating systems offer an easy click-and-understand capability to different users. It also offers a user-friendly GUI that creates a more comfortable environment for them and easy access to different softwares that is fully capable with these systems.

There are many operating systems that have emerged within the past few years. I personally didnt have the chance to see and test those systems besides the famous Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX systems. Until yesterday...

I have been eye-ing Ubuntu for quite some time now. The good reviews it has on the web, the easy access to missing resources, the cool interface, friendly community, and the speed has made itself to my top list of priorities after graduation. Pursuing a programming career requires one to learn different environments in program development so I took one, and gladly I was not disappointed on the results.

The interface of the OS is cool, orange, gray and black, with a little bit of purple makes this OS an eye catcher. The fast booting and fast processing of different application also makes this a top-notch one. I loved it the first time I tested it and is still loving it after the few days of testing. The Ubuntu/Linux community is approachable and friendly unlike those I know of, which could only be approached with a wallet on-hand. Missing drivers are automatically searched through the use of internet.

On the other side, the applications are rather frustrating upon finding. For example, Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver are nowhere to be found in the os. So an emulator is installed (WINE) which proved very effective in the installation of my Office 2007 and other Windows Based Programs. Glitches and bugs on graphics could be seen but not that noticeable.

All in all, Ubuntu is the Linux OS for me. I would gladly offer my time upon learning and understanding how a Linux OS work and how could I be of service to the Linux Community, specifically the Ubuntu community. For everyone who would want to try this OS out, I suggest downloading *Wubi, a Windows Installer that would install Ubuntu in your windows os via control panel. To use Ubuntu, you just have to restart and choose the OS you prefer in the bootloader. To uninstall, log into your windows system and remove the Ubuntu OS via control panel.

It is time to learn new things, new environment, and new commands to further enhance our skills to fit in the fast pacing world of today. With a jam-packed brain of knowledge in our heads, we would surely achieve greater success in much lesser time.

Graduation 2011

It has been a mystery how time works its own wonders in the life of humans. One day you are born, then another day you made the worst-mistake-of-6th-graders, then you are with the most influential friends, then....

It has been, what, 15 years since we entered the realm of the academes, especially I...

During the past 5 years of our college life, we have faced numerous challenges that brought us to the tip of our lines that sometimes gave us thoughts to surrender everything up and give up the fight. We faced unimaginable characters of in the academy, encountered different sins and saw different shortcuts and breakthroughs. But through it all, WE have successfully tumbling those challenges down over and over again that led us to this moment...

This morning, we have received the final confirmation of our success in the field of Collegiate Academe- our diploma.

As students patiently sat through the program, as they fought their teary eyes, as they forced themselves to laugh in the midst of the solemnity, thoughts and ideas rummage through our minds- 'what is next?', 'what now?', 'how can I help them?', etc. Mostly, the students were not excited in receiving their papers, but rather excited in the challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the professional world.

I was one of those students with the mind-boggling thoughts rummaging through my head. I really do not know what would be next, I do not have the slightest idea on what to pursue, what opportunities to grab, and what failures might be in hand. Confused, I sat and wondered through that 5 hour program thinking what would be the best entrance in the gates of the corporate community.

I was lost in thoughts, lost in sight, lost in the future. My passion is creating programs and learning systems but deep inside I do not know what to do next. I know I have talents, I have skills, but I feel I am not ready. Just then, an unusual thought came into me. God have been there to provide me with everything I have been needing since the first year I stepped into the institution. That means that God has plans and has WORKING plans for me and for my fellow batchmates. NO NEED TO WORRY and just LET HIS PLANS HAPPEN. Then i just remembered something..

I have a part time programming job offered by Version791.com (Ma'am Maj Labindao & Friends) that offers not only experience and money, but also new knowledge and new challenges that would surely create a better Psalm out of me. God has mysterious ways of working things out, especially time. He assures us that there would be something out there that would offer many opportunities, it just up to us to see those things as opportunity.

Today, March 30 2011, am now a proud alumni of the EARIST College. I offer my deepest gratitude to those people who made a big difference in my life- Nanay, Tatay, Flor, Tim, Joy, Francisco Family, Figueroa Family, Friends, Best Friends, and to the Creator.

Friends, we have still lots of grounds to cover and this path is just the beginning. Do not forget that there is Someone who guides us, strengthens us, and provides for use. Let us see things as opportunities, not hardships. In time, we may realise that everything we have done since the very first day of our lives have changed our lives in their own differences. May this part of our life be a start of something new...

Congratulations Batch 2011!

"kulangot" and "kamote"

Kulangot and Kamote. These are the names of the hamsters my mom bought this morning in the Public Market. Im not sure of the breeds but they are beautiful.

Kulangot (male), a fat gray haired hamham, as I see it is the jolliest of the pair. He runs around the cage (BIG bird cage) and plays on the hamster wheel my parents bought from the supermarket.

Kamote, another fat hamham with a spotted brown and whitish fur, is a gentle one. She tends to sleep in her cage and poop often. But when you hold her, she always tends to escape. Obviously she doesnt want to be held.

With a big and tall cage, its really frustrating if the remaining space could not be used. So my dad plans to make a second-floor level for the hamsters, and later improve and add more play-thingy for the new pets.

Welcome Kamote and Kulangot! I hope we dont have to buy new pets to replace you! Happy Staying!

Invisible Harry Potters!!!

If you already read or watched the Harry Potter Series, you could probably remeber the very special cloak Harry's dad had gave him-the invisibility cloak. Most of us think that those "invisible cloaks" do not exist in the real world. Wrong...

A scientist in Tokyo University named Professor Susumu Tachi has developed a coat that was made with a "retro-reflective" material that makes anybody who wears the coat appear invisible. This is how it works- a camera is attached to the back of the coat and the image in it is projected into the coat, making the wearer appear visually transparent.

To see a video of the cloak in action, click here, and here.

The said invention is for medical purposes says Prof. Susumu. When surgeons are operating, they are unable to see any parts of their patient obscured by their own hands and equipment - a problem Mr Tachi hopes will be overcome by his invention."The surgeon sees the patient as if they are transparent, and can see the whole body structure," Mr Tachi said.

There are numerous purposes this invention was intended for. Hopefully, one of these days, we can see the improvement of this invention and we can see this technology being utilized and used in our everyday lives.

toothache?

Toothache, toothache toothache!!! I think it's the world's number one common problem. Sometimes, aspirin just aint the best solution (well, besides removing it).

My girl has experienced this kind of pain on the morning of Monday, November 9. When i looked at her tooth, it has this big hole. I tried giving her pain relievers but that didnt help.

After days, the pain was gone but i still want to know what could be the best remedy for this kind of pain. So this night, november 13, i searched the web for simple remedies for this kind of pain.

After googling on the web, i found some simple remedies for this kind of pain. These are some of them:

1. Putting plain salt directly and around the tooth. It will sting a little but the pain will subside later.
2. Peeling a clove of garlic then chop/mince it and then place it around or in/on the tooth that is aching.
3. By Acupressure. Appying firm pressure and massaging both the bottoms of the index fingers just below the nails relieves the pain...

There are so many remedies for this kind of treatment but these are the easiest way i saw. I'll tell my girl first thing in the morning what i discovered.

so long...

its been so long since i updated this blog.. as you can notice i have so many posts (3).

I have been really busy establishing a new blog since i thought i forgot this account's username and password.

Well, the other blog i am establishing is about just anything that comes to my head... but since i recovered this account, i decided to continue this blog and delete the other account..

Another reason i havent been able to update and manage this account is the time. I am currently at 3rd year College level at EARIST Manila, Philippines and taking up Computer Engineering. This year is a very complicated one and fun-time comes just once-in-a-blue-moon. Projects and exams are really heavy and hard.

i'll update this blog further later. I still have to do some housechores. Loggin out!!

who could ever imagine?!
