noise? adventure? game? i mean, if you’re gonna stage a revolution, better gather the people and muster enough support before barging in some hotel and crowning yourself a hero before anything “meaningful” happened. people are sick and tired of GMA but if trillanes is the only alternative, wag na lang. if he really wanted to show his sincerity to the cause, sana he stood his ground and hayaan nang mataaman ng bala. sus, sundalo ba yun?

as for the protection/sake of media men ek-ek kaya siya sumuko, i’m sorry pero they put themselves in danger by not leaving as told by the police. so dapat hinayaan na lang ni trillanes. at sana nagpakamartyr na lang siya and hayaan nang madaanan siya ng tangke. Wink who knows, that may spark a “revolution”. hehe.

i received a fowarded text message from my sister that sums up the manila pen seige:

“Lessons learned from Trillanes:

1. pwede pala maglakad from makati trial court to manila pen.
2. kasya pala tangke sa hotel
3. pag napoposasan pala mediam nakakalimutan ang nag-aaklas. sila muna pinaguusapan
4. di pala (ma)ganda si Pinky Webb pag walang make-up
5. kulot pala si Ces Drilon pag di nag-blower

Kaya mga kaibigan, wag kakalimutan Trillanes, d educator sa 2010, para sa pagkapangulo ng mga sundalong madaling sumuko!”

hehe. nagtext kuya ko na engot-engot daw si arnold clavio kasi ang sabi ba naman eh lieutenant sgt. i wonder who won the ratings war that day…Laughing


Shifting from Linux to Windows XP

it breaks my heart (i like Xandros na) but i had to change my OS from linux to windows XP home (same as my 15.2″ laptop’s OS) to solve my connectivity problems (nokia pc suite and external portable modem) since i wasn’t able to find any useful (or working) commands that would solve my asus eee pc teething problems. (oh yes, i was learning all those “sudo” ek-ek commands to update and install software and updates).

finally, i erased my xandros and installed windows last night. all night. *sniff*

but before that, you have to have a usb external optical drive to install windows and the suport disc from asus to install the drivers. i am P3,000 poorer because of this optical drive but it made life easier. someone from tipidpc was able to install windows using two bootable flash disk drives. i didn’t bother trying that out.


LG with lightscribe

me katangahan pa ako kagabi. after installing winXP and all, i loaded the asus support disc in the optical drive and waited for the autorun to do its job. somehow i misunderstood the prompt on screen and clicked and went back to DOS mode and after 5 mins my winXP was erased and i was back again to linux.

talk about frustration.

i had to start all over again and it took hours before i could make everything work. including this portable external modem. dang.


yup, it’s quite handy but it only works with windows

i have sacrificed battery life (now it’s down to 2 hours before draining it totally as opposed to the 3.5 hours running linux) and faster boot up and shut down just to be able to install this modem and my 3G phone. if you don’t really have to have modem and 3G connection, i advise you to stick with xandros. what can i do? the nature of my job requires me to have a modem…*sigh*

now, i lost all those cute games installed with xandros like the game where there a is penguin sliding down the snowy slopes (what was that called?), linux version of tetris, sudoku, etc.
