Saturday Spent Lounging Around!
The big issue about my consulting gig continues to be the terrible commute. At times, and due to the fact it’s Christmas, I spend up to 3 hours or more going just one direction, and it is very tiring. There is no way I will bring Joe (my car) with me because I’m positive it’ll…

Joe
For some odd reason I had an inescapable urge to go to the gym today, and so I did, resulting in an adventure of forging my 20+ year old car through a waist deep flood (as to how I could not have foreseen that coming I.Do.Not.Know). First things first. Joe, my ancient car, is quite…

What I Learned From My Bosses (and other sources) Part 1
When you run your own biz, you hang on to the core reasons why you decided to go off on your own as well as remember every little thing you learned from your superiors. I dunno if I’ll get it all down on this post, but today I decided to try. Here goes. My Scottish…

Puppet, Pauper, Pirate, Poet, a Pawn and a King
Been feeling less than stellar lately. But nothing ol’ Frank can’t fix.

What I Learned From My Talk
The talk went well. I thought there were only a few attendees at the start but 5 minutes into my talk it was SRO. I learned a few things about myself plus a few observations. Lemme break it down so I won’t forget. Detailed pics of the sites won’t show up well on a not…

Got Super Sick But Now I’m Ok Again
I decided to wash my bedsheets a few days ago, substituting an old ratty one for the night. BIG mistake. My allergies flared up which quickly worsened into whatever horrible sinus related ailment and before I knew it, everything ached, I couldn’t even walk and essentially I became a vegetable. And due to the fact…

Getting My Programming Ducks In A Row
I know my previous post has probably revealed more about me than I’m usually comfortable writing about, but I took the time to let it sink in and have decided its gonna stay as is. I’ve always thought the way to grow was to take yourself out of your comfort zone, and by golly mission…

Yna
I hadn’t had a vacation until, let’s see it was the end of the UAAP season then, so was it Aug 2007? Anyway it was at Boracay, but for some odd reason it wasn’t as fulfilling a holiday as I’d thought it’d be. I remember going there in 1995 and back then Boracay was TRULY…

I want a new PC
So according to the PCX’s handy downloadable pricelist, I can buy these: Athlon 64 X2 4400 Dual core Box (P3,120) Transcend 2GB 667 (1,560) and the ECS 6100SM-M/M2 nForce/V-pcie/S/L (P1,980), which as far as I can make out is otherwise known on the ECS website as GeForce6100PM-M2 (V2.0), although I wouldn’t be surprised if I…

Saturday PM Panic
I was dead tired from the gym and was nodding off to sleep around 130pm last Sat when I heard a neighbour frantically banging on another neighbour’s door. It was enough to tear my aching lazy ass from bed to look out the window, where I immediately noticed the inordinate amount of smoke and ashes!!!…
