Another step forward May 9, 2007

I received my grades for the last semester under my Masters degree program, and I lack a few points in my GPA to be considered for the final exam. That sounds bad, but I have this semester to cope up. I won’t be needing passing grades – I need very high grades.
With that, I made [...]

What ruined Spiderman 3 May 2, 2007

Glad you asked. It’s all about pacing. Let me explain.
The early parts have been very good in the way the events unfolded, especially in pace. The  changes in the scenes and the development of the characters had been slow and deliberate. This led to an experience where one can see how close to reality such [...]

Narrowing the obssession April 28, 2007

The past year had been quite a discovery for me. Not a discovery of a place nor of a thing – it was a discovery of self. Know thyself, said the Greeks. Now I think I have made considerable steps to follow that advice.
I had once turned to many different interests as a way to [...]

The first step April 26, 2007

6. You mislead me when we first [...]

Psalm 10111 March 20, 2007

The Computer is my taskmaster; I need not think.
He maketh me to write flawless reports

Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the endless GOTO,
I will fear no error messages;
For thy User’s Manual is with me.

I got another one March 4, 2007

And so it begins. I got another affiliation, and its online. I’m supposed to work at their time zone, which is 16 hours behind mine. That means their morning is midnight here in my country. I hope I can pull this off – I like PHP a lot.

First office day February 27, 2007

Second day at the company, first real at the office. I mean real in the sense that I’ll be staying here for the rest of the day, doing nothing but programming work for our client. Well, almost.
I was happy with our meeting yesterday in that our big brother Bong Ricafort realized that RFID was the [...]
