 Ubuntu

I’ve been playing around with Fedora 7 on Selene, my Thinkpad X22, and I must say I was disappointed. Hibernate and standby didn’t work. Not even with Software Suspend 2. I consider those two to be critical features for a notebook so their not working just won’t do. Upon the recommendation of Alex, I installed [...]



 Globe Crap

I’ve been receiving these SMS messages from Globe on my phone updating me on my account status. It would have been good to receive it once a month, maybe weekly. But I’m receiving it daily and it was becoming irritating. So one fine day when I was in a foul mood (oh, that would be [...]

 Pacquiao vs Barrera

 Galileo Enoteca

It was Ann’s birthday yesterday so Paul and I took her out to dinner at Galileo Enoteca. Friends have been recommending the place for a long time but I haven’t had the chance to check it out until last night. I wasn’t disappointed. Even Paul who wanted to go somewhere “tried and tested” was won [...]



 FonePrint Has Moved!

FonePrint has moved from Stall 11, D2B, Multilevel Parking Building, UST, Espana, Manila to 3rd Level, G-Box Entertainment, Robinson’s Place, Ermita, Manila. It’s been great fun and learning at UST but opportunity calls at Robinson’s Place. I hope we eventually also get space in Robinson’s Galleria. I’d volunteer to check on it maybe not daily [...]



 No Reservations

I met up with Val at Trinoma to watch Stardust, a movie based on a book of the same name written by Neil Gaiman. Click The City said is already showing but, unfortunately, they were so wrong. There was no Stardust anywhere! So I ended up agreeing to watch No Reservations which is what Val [...]
