Sunday Work and Naruto Fillers

I have to work today And probably tomorrow and the day after as well, although both are local holidays.
On what may very well become one of the company’s biggest projects I might add, if we get the contract.
On an unrelated note, these filler Naruto episodes are just silly. It doesn’t make sense that Raiga, [...]

Games - Walk of Game

Voting for the Walk of Game is up.
My votes were: Starcraft, Civilization, Final Fantasy and Street Fighter II. Also Sid Meier and the Pac-man guy.

After seemingly being the last man in the Philippines without a cellphone for so long, I broke down and bought one a couple of weeks ago. I’d post a picture, but I can’t find the digicam, and the phone can’t take a picture of itself.
The 6020 itself seems pretty okay, although as a phone newbie [...]

Idyllic Sundays

It nevers fails, every week, around 1-2pm on a Sunday. For some unexplainable reason, an overpowering drowsiness steps in, and I must sacrifice 2-3 hours of my time to sleep.
it’s not a normal sleep either, it’s the kind of sleepm that’s very hard to break. You wake up it’s 4pm, and think “There’s some stuff [...]

On Journalling, or How Hard It Is to Keep Up a Blog

In my line of work, which is to say “large-scale database systems”, there’s always the idea of “journalling” or the “audit trail.” Basically, it means that for every transaction of significance, a record is kept of that transaction, stored in a log somewhere, so that should something malefic happen, the logs can be parsed and [...]
