At Attempt To Write My Story – Part I
Apparently there’s been a great upsurge – well at least in the blogs that I read – about getting out and starting your own biz. And obviously I’m all for it. I mean duh. I’ve been ‘freelancing’ for several years now, my last job having ended at the start of this decade. But you know,…

Parents Ponder, Phoebe’s going, and yes, Another server memory upgrade
First off, congrats to my main girl Jen for hosting a terrific parenting event for Mom.Exchange.Ph, sponsored by Verdana Homes, last Sat the 16th, at Coffee Tea Bean and Leaf (is that right? or something like that. I mix up that name often.), at the Convergys Building Makati. I peeled my lazy ass off bed…

Phoebe don’t like cables. Only does Wifi.
I spent waaaay too much time trying to get the Davicom USB NIC to work on Xubuntu 7.04 on Phoebe (my laptop. I name my PCs after funny sitcom characters. The others are Tobias and Kramer.), as detailed here, and finally gave up. First, it was difficult trying to get Make to run in the…

Aspiring DIY Online Publishers: Learn Photoshop

Sometimes I wish
I could just spend my days writing movie reviews or expounding on my thoughts about Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, or whomever is making the news in the NBA these days, on my laptop at some coffee shop (with free or as free as possible wifi), and just live off of that. There was a time…

Thoughts on Heroes, JLA and The Sopranos
I got a complete copy Heroes the other month, admittedly caught up in the buzz, and sadly, I’m not very impressed. It was interesting at the start, but soon that gibberish Suresh is mumbling at the start starts to grate on you, and you realize that, dang he isn’t making any sense at all. Everything…

I haven’t been updating this much because
I’ve been worried about my host server’s RAM consumption, which at 352mb. has once again proven not enough. Last night it started to kill processes again (usually mysql), and the sites weren’t connecting. I checked Analytics and at some point around 10PM, visits spiked to almost 100 just for kikay for that one hour, and…

Unbelievable.
Lebron James has come up with a performance we all knew he was capable of and we all had been waiting for. In a double overtime victory, the Cleveland Cavaliers have taken one game ahead of the Detroit Pistons 3-2. Here are the stats: 48 points, 7 assists, 9 rebounds, 10 of 14 freethrows and…

I’ve always wanted to be a writer
Since I can remember. Which is why it was very difficult for me to make the decision to finally decide to forego contributing to the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Partly because I had been doing it off and on for five years, and partly because it is just time for me to do so. Events of…

Server RAM Upgrade. Again.
From the server grease monkeys at my host: Hi Gabriel, I logged into your server to investigate the problem and I’ve found that you’re in dangerous territory concerning memory: > root@exchange:~# free -m > total used free shared buffers cached > Mem: 256 250 5 0 0 1 > -/+ buffers/cache: 249 6 > Swap:…
