March 31st, 2009 I needed to make backup copies of some CDs. They are bootable CDs so I couldn’t just copy the contents. Unfortunately, I don’t have those fancy disk burning utilities. Not would I want to use those complex monsters. So what I did is download ISO Recorder.
ISO Recorder is a shell extension for Windows XP, 2003 [...]
March 26th, 2009 I just watching the latest episode of Heroes when it came to me why it is different. My sister had mentioned that the new “rebooted” season is somehow different from the previous season. That was the season when there was so much lovey-dovey going on and everything was shiny and happy (Sylar was goody-goody, wth!!!).

March 23rd, 2009 Last week, in what has become an annual pilgrimage, I went to Putipot again. Criso mentioned that she and some of her officemates are planning a trip to Putipot. She invited Chei and I. Coincidentally, I’ve promised Chei to take her there and I figured it would be a good time since I prefer [...]

And to think it’s an S40 not-so-smartphone. Thankfully, Nokia is aware of the issues and has actually been working on a replacement calculator. It’s still in beta [...]
March 13th, 2009 My Nokia 5310 XpressMusic bit the dust after a horizontal fall. I went back to my trusty old Sony Ericsson K700i while searching for the perfect replacement phone.
The perfect replacement phone has to be small, slim, and most importantly black. My first choice, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition fits the bill and is the coolest [...]
March 10th, 2009 The global recession is surely taking its toll. Accenture, Branders, Lawson… everybody’s been hit. This morning, I got to the office and Joyce told me another wave of retrenchments, the third in the company so far, have hit. Needless to say, it is very demoralizing. The first time it happened, they said they’re letting go [...]
