October 31st, 2007 We were wrestling with a weird problem in Windows the whole day. We were trying to transfer access rights to files from one user to another but we keep ending up with some directories that still can’t be accessed by the new user. We were stumped for quite some time before we found out that [...]

Erwin wanted to do a refresher dive at Anilao as a prelude to his trip to Bohol. So he, his friend Claudine, and I went to favorite dive destination Anilao. [...]
October 27th, 2007 Of course, I’m not the only one who has problems with hibernate and standby on Kubuntu and Thinkpad X22. I saw this post at an Ubuntu forum. Which in turn led me to this post at ThinkWiki which led to the solution. In a nutshell, you just need to change your video driver to VESA [...]
October 27th, 2007 My college dorm mate posted in our mailing list this link to a blog entry written by her friend: Why I Don’t Like Using A Digital Camera In My Personal Life. It’s a personal preference thing but I do have comments on some points:
With a digital camera, it takes at least 30 seconds to get [...]
October 24th, 2007 Alex lent me a DVD of Kubuntu 7.10. Kubuntu is the version of Ubuntu that is packaged with KDE. For some reason he likes it and since he’s the Linux guru, who am I to second guess him? Hehe.Soon as I got home, I installed to Selene, my Thinkpad X22. The installation went without a [...]
October 21st, 2007 Sometimes you get to thinking most– it not all– people are mature, responsible, considerate, thinking… If ever they’re not, they would just be a little bit off and it’s still okay. And then you encounter some people who are completely off, people so damn immature, irresponsible, inconsiderate, and STUPID!
This morning, my neighbor left his house [...]
October 21st, 2007 Another badminton day, another badminton milestone. We have this running match-up since I started playing doubles: Edong and Jem vs James and I. So far we have been losing. But today we finally won 2-0! Woohoo! Time to think about that badminton racket milestone again. Yeah I got a guitar already, but I still don’t [...]
October 16th, 2007 When we were kids, my grandfather gave my brother and I a ukelele each. We never got to learn to play those but that didn’t stop us from making like we know how. We even put water-transfer decals on them. That’s how my affair with the guitar family started.
My brother went on to get a [...]
October 14th, 2007 This morning Edong suddenly called up and said paintball was going to push through even though half of the attendees have backed out. Apparently, he had committed to the owner of paintball field who just happens to also be his godfather. So off the four of us remaining players went to the field, a newly [...]
October 12th, 2007 Car invited me to join a climb to Manabu. I was reluctant at first because I have paintball planned for the weekend and I didn’t know if I can handle both in one, albeit long, weekend. But when paintball became uncertain, I decided to go. I met up with Car and Lem at Kamias then [...]
