Macintosh OS 10.5 a.k.a. Leopard is out and it beckons. I am seriously considering one, most likely in the form of an iMac 20-inch. I’ve never owned a Mac before but in my head right now, there’s this big debate on whether to make “the big switch” or not. Thanks largely to the iPod, Macs…

Friendster vs Facebook
A few weeks ago, I received an email from “Facebook” saying I was invited by a friend to join Facebook and that I was tagged in one of her pictures. “Yet another social networking site?”, I told myself thinking about my social networking account at Friendster. Fastforward a few weeks… I am now loving Facebook,…
Dell Sucks
I’ve always loved Dell… until now. I ordered my laptop last August 2nd and back then, the expected date of delivery was first week of September. The other day, they sent me an email saying it may further be delayed. Fuck that! Yesterday, I canceled my order.
Vista is Coming
Last week. I ordered me a Dell XPS M1330. After much consideration, I decided not to wait for OS X Leopard and just get me the latest and greatest Vista. Ultimate no less. Why Ultimate? So it can support downloading the English pack and switching everything to English. I also customized it to come with…
Information Overload
In just a matter of a three days, I was able to… Cable TV is good for the brains but not for the body.
Picasa Slideshows
Google Picasa has this new feature where you can create slideshows from any of your albums and post them to your website. Here’s a slideshow of pictures from my “Starred” Album, an album where I put all my favorite pictures. http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf Enjoy!
Dell and Ubuntu
It seems that Dell will be releasing computers with Ubuntu pre-installed. It’s about time! Notwithstanding my previous rant about Firefox and YouTube, I believe Ubuntu is ready for prime time. I really do. My Sony laptop has been running Ubuntu for the past 4 months (!) already and I don’t feel like coming back to…
Firefox and YouTube
When using Ubuntu‘s latest 7.04 (codename Feisty) release, Firefox and YouTube don’t work well together. Firefox hangs when exploring the YouTube site!!! This bug is so irritating, I believe it is enough to stop a LOT of people from using Firefox and Ubuntu altogether. Too bad. This had to happen just when I was starting…
Orange iPod Shuffle
How many times have you lost something and as you look for a replacement, you end up getting something identical to the one you lost? That happens to me a lot… shoes… shirts… wallets. It happened again today. A few weeks ago, I lost my orange iPod shuffle. Today, I bought a brand new orange…
PASMO: Hello and Goodbye
A few weeks ago, I got me a Pasmo card only because Hibiya line does not support commuter passes from Suica. My Suica stayed in my phone while my Pasmo card stayed in my wallet. All was well until my Bic Camera Suica card came and I needed a place to put it. I cannot…
Unexcited About Vista
When Windows 3.1 was released, I crashed my scooter into a wall of barbed wires, because I was so excited to get home and have it installed to my 286. The excitement was pretty much the same when Windows 95, Windows 2000 and later on, Windows XP were released, of course, minus the barbed wires….
Switched to Ubuntu Linux
It’s that time of year when I get tired of looking at my Windows desktop and start exploring other operating systems. I’ve tried Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core before but one week is all it took for me to move back to Windows. This time, I tried installing Ubuntu Linux. And surprise surprise, I’ve…
