Chasing Daydreams

I was pretty excited when Asus launched the EEE PC 900. But when I learned that it doesn’t have the Atom processor, I decided to wait for the EEE PC 901. However, when Asus decided not to sell the Asus EEE PC 901 locally, I finally decided to just get the EEE PC 1000H.
The 1000H [...]

Finally got the car back yesterday. It had been undergoing front-end repair as well as a full-body repaint at The Wet Look after that unfortunate collision last December. And damn, does it looks good! The headlights have been replaced with new ones. Along with the fresh paint job, the car was gleaming almost looks like [...]

In my quest to avoid working at the mentally and physically draining night shift (especially the ungodly hours between 2 to 4 A), I’ve been going to the office in the afternoon for the past week or two. I’ve noticed the horrific traffic congestion that seems to be everywhere lately. It seems that every car, [...]

One big cause for your computer getting infected by viruses, worms, and other malware would be Window’s autorun “feature”. Plug in a hard disk, optical disk, memory card, etc and autorun launches and runs a program. Guess what that program usually is? Yup, malware.
So one of the easiest ways to protect your computer is to [...]

So I started reporting back to the office as per instruction. And what do I learn when I got there? We were to report to the client tonight! Good thing they had the mind to let us go home right after the meeting to prepare. I’m off to sleep after this.

I’m off to work after the holidays. Supposedly it was going to be tonight but I got an SMS from my project manager Lui that due to some contractual issues, we’ll be working daytime at the office until further notice. I still  feel like vacation. I hope I can haul my lazy ass up early [...]
