Am taking a break from tech posts to talk about what’s been keeping me really busy lately – which is coaching the Palmera Green Rams, one of four teams here in Palmera Heights composed of 14-18 year old boys (I’ve taken to referring to them as ‘my boys’ to my gf’s consternation).

Scheduled For World Domination
Probably owing to my background as a groupware purveyor (I used sell Lotus Notes solutions, and was also a Microsoft Product Manager and evangelized MS Exchange – for which I studied certification for), I am a heavy believer in the Calendar, the central focus of a groupware solution after the Inbox.
Hot Babes Sell Video Games? Really?!
Joey Alarilla would probably be interested in this bit of news about Lara Croft.
Not necessarily because of Lara (more on her later), but about how the article says how one of the problems of the video game industry is its ‘lack of celebrities’.
The Great Notebook Search Part Deux
First off, you would notice that I quite ingeniously used “Part Deux” instead of the more commonly used “Part II” to mark the distinction that this post is the second part of an ongoing process, namely to leech a laptop off of my client, as discussed here.
Using the French version done ostensibly, of course, to parlay the message that I am a smart person, incidentally one of the many, albeit hidden reason why this blog exists. Other than that of course, is the fact that I am a fan of stupid Charlie Sheen movies, one of which is Hot Shots! Part Deux, which for some reason I dreamt of last night.
Healthrightsforall.org Almost Finished
Just about to take a trip back to civilization (I call Manila civilization, as opposed to the lush countryside (not) that is mountainous Cainta), to visit some clients, and maybe get paid before the stoppage of all normalcy and the start of all that is unholy called – Holy Week.
One would surmise such a lengthy undertaking as a trip back to the big city, specifically Makati, would entail an early head start. But nooooo.. it’s 8am and still here I am, blogging.
At any rate, best to keep this short, so I’ll go ahead and introduce my latest pro bono project:
Interview of Arnold Gamboa re Linux Migration from Windows
I promised I’d post my interview of Mr. Arnold Gamboa, Managing Director of Sparrow Interactive, regarding the successful migration of 16 of their Windows machines to Linux.
This has to do with my talk last April 8, Saturday, at the PLUG 2nd Quarterly Free Seminar Series. Incidentally, I learned of Arnold’s migration from his post about it at Pinoytechblog, so here’s some linklove in that direction.
Without further ado:

So you wanna learn Kung Fu..
The many fans of this blog (all two of them) will be happy to note I am speaking at the PLUG 2nd Quarterly Free Seminar Series, to impart my knowledge on the Black Arts, namely Interviewing, Writing Articles, and other related debauchery.
A Question About Boot Camp: Why?
I just read this Cnet article about Boot Camp, Apple’s effort to make their machines run Windows.
Have to admit it was a little hard concentrating, mainly because of the question that kept going on and on in my head: But In God’s Name, WHY?
Let me just state categorically that..
For the record, Metrobank’s P50.00 surcharge for interbank deposits, is the most blatant attempt I’ve yet seen by a bank to suck money out of anyone unlucky enough to have to deal with them.
Basketball Blog Invite
April 22 is a-comin’. That means the end of the NBA regular season, and the start of what gets every red blooded baller’s heart a-pounding – THE NBA PLAYOFFS.
Once again I’m in a position to do something I’ve always dreamed, but for some reason continue to procrastinate, or just plain screw up.
And that is, start a Basketball Blog.
