November 22nd, 2008 I have belatedly discovered Defender of the Ancients or, as it is more commonly called, DOTA. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would know that it is a scenario map of Warcraft III. In the scenario map, you and the other players play heroes against each other. To aid in this pursuit, you [...]
November 17th, 2008 It was bound to happen sooner or later. I was driving home when suddenly my airbag light started blinking. I put it off as some electrical ground but after a few minutes, it started blinking again. This happened two or three times before my car suddenly stopped cold. Of course it had to happen right [...]
November 13th, 2008 In-Yo is one of Katipunan’s best kept secrets (so I guess now it isn’t). Actually it isn’t really along Katipunan per se so that would be one reason for the seclusion.

We woke up early despite the fact [...]

It was pretty straightforward unlike in some other netbooks. First, you’ll need to buy a full 2GB DDR2-667 SODIMM as there is only one memory [...]
November 9th, 2008 Driving in Metro Manila is such an adventure. You just can’t imagine what you’re going to see next. Here are some of the ones I’ve actually seen, I kid you not.
I’ll start with the infamous bus lanes. These lanes are dedicated for buses and run along the outermost lane of the whole length of EDSA. [...]
November 3rd, 2008 I tried my hands on JSF last Friday. It didn’t go as smoothly as I expected.
Being the bleeding edge kind of person :P I set it up using Tomcat 6 and a quick start package from Exadel. The package already has all the jar files you need and you only need to type in (or [...]
