no blog

medyo matagal na din hindi ako nag blog (ilang beses ko na ba nasasabi to?) kung nagtatanong kayo kung bakit.. 1st busy ako sa work (yep serious yan).. 2nd nakakatamad (isa akong tamad).. 3rd busy sa kakalaro (natural sayang naman yung 4870oc ko).. 4th uh nakakatamad

medyo masaya ako sa work ngayon.. aktwali sa lahat ng napasukan ko dito ako masaya kasi challenging (hindi katulad sa iba admin lang ako walang challenge) ngayon programmer na ako hehe.. problema lang malayo yung work nasa makati at hindi basta basta sa sa makati nasa chino roces.. medyo mahabang lakaran para makapunta sa ayala.. pero walang problema yan.. kasi araw araw ako nag ta-taxi papunta at pabalik (katulad ng sinabi ko tamad ako).. gastos ko sa transpo aabot na agad ng P500.. wala pang kain yan.. kaya konti lang naiipon ko hehe.. aktwali nagbabalak naman sila lumipat sa 'the fort'.. pero ganun pa din malayo.. unless bigyan nila ako ng condo..

ano ginagawa ko sa work? isa akong lead programmer (yep.. pinagyayabang ko yan kasi hindi talaga ako programmer by default hehe) at meron din akong 4 na hinahawakan na programmers (php/asp/vb/vb) ang kulang ko nalang is java (aktwali naghahanap ako ng matinik na ui developer either java or vb bastat marunong lang mag sockets)

gumawa ako ng api namin.. bali lahat ng programmers co-connect sa aken tas ako mag bibigay ng data (i do the dirty work).. nung una soap yung ginawa ko.. kaso may drawback sa soap... masyado mataba yung data (xml!) tapos may http overhead pa.. so gumawa ako ng socket service (ginaya ko yung packet format ng cimd2 [link] at ucp/emi [link] na merong zlib compression [zlib]).. so far ambilis.. gulat nga yung yung vb programmer namin.. nung una ang bagal sa soap.. matagal mag export sa datagrid nya tas etong sockets mas mabilis pa kaysa kumonek sa sql mismo hehe.. dahil nilagyan ko ng compression.. sa 16kb worth of data nagiging 8kb lang.. nabigyan din ako ng idea ni lagur.. gamit ako ng binaryreader at mag stick ako sa 8byte packet.. pabor yun kung integers ang data pero kung strings uh... siguro pag may time mag eexperimento ako.. kaso mahihirapan yung mga php programmers.. kelangan yung api ko open sa lahat..

yung nature ng work ko ngayon ay bpo(outsourcing).. karamihan ng clients namin ay government agencies.. hinahandle namin yung computerization ng system nila, sms service at voice service..

msdn connection termination

I got an email from microsoft@newsletters.microsoft.com today. And it states that MSDN will be closed temporarily. Although they will start another program which is similar to the current MSDN but with nice features and ui. Who needs msdn if we've got Google? In fact it's better and faster to search in Google than msdn.

MSDN Connection Termination

Thank you for your participation in MSDN Connection. As a valued customer, we want to give you advance notice of some exciting changes you will see over the next several months. MSDN Connection online service will be transitioned into a new offering later this year that will make it even easier for you to learn about development on the Microsoft platform.

Here's what to expect. MSDN Connection online service will be shut down on July 31th, at which time you will no longer be able to access the MSDN Connection portal. The new program is expected to be launched shortly thereafter based on a phased implementation plan. During this transition phase, please visit the newly redesigned MSDN portal ( http://msdn.microsoft.com) or the local MSDN site for all your support and information needs. We apologize for this disruption in service - we expect the new program benefits will outweigh the inconveniences.

Although the MSDN Connection portal will no longer be available, we will still push through with local MSDN Events. We will update you regarding the upcoming sessions or you could visit msevets.ph as well as msforums.ph for news and announcements.

For those that have taken advantage of the MSDN Connection PTR (Personal Training Roadmap), we will be announcing the program which will be replacing PTR within the next two weeks.

thunderbird 3 with tab support

According to David Bienvenu [link] thunderbird 3 will support tabs. I haven't tried it yet but tab support is already available in the thunderbird nightly release code. You may download it at the mozilla developer central page [link]. Currently there are issues with tab support eg.

1. The close button doesn't work (though context click | close tab does work)
2. Strange things happen with messages open in a tab if you switch the 3-pane layout
3. The context menu on tabs gets confused if the tab is not selected
They've probably fixed it already since the announcement was made on Jun 27.

thunderbird and lightning

Last time I used Windows XP as my main OS, I was using Outlook 2003. If you're wondering why I was using Outlook as my MUA (mail user agent), it's because it integrates with my pda via activesync. Calendar, email and contacts are synchronized. Now, I am using Debian GNU Linux. What are my options? None. Although I don't use my pda anymore I still need a better mua that has at least a calendar, html and image viewing feature.

I tried using Sylpheed, Sylpheed-claws and Thunderbird. Sylpheed is the fastest (send, receive and loading) but Thunderbird is more complete. I have a lot of email addresses (14 to be exact) and Thunderbird handles them well (spam filter, thread sort, images, html etc). The only problem is a calendar feature. Last month Mozilla release Sunbird 0.5 and I just found out lately that they also released Lightning 0.5 (the standalone plugin for Thunderbird). Sunbird and Lightning is the calendar application I was looking for and frankly it's in par with Outlook.

I tested adding events, tasks and alarm. All are working great. I've added some screenshots of Thunderbird with Lightning installed.

thunderbird with lightning installed

2.6.21 at sky2

nilabas na yung kernel 2.6.21 (mga 3 days ago?) and maraming improvements hindi ko alam yung technical details pero ayon sa nabasa ko malaking improvement daw sa mga gumagamit ng virtualization (vmware at xen).. tapos me bagong dagdag pa yung 'high resolution times' medyo improvement to (speedwise) ang problema hindi ma detect yung lan card ko (builtin sya) yung mobo ko ay 'Gigabyte GA-965P-S3' so bumalik ako sa dati kong kernel (2.6.20.6) eto yung nilalabas ng 'lspci -v' para sa lan card ko

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 4364 (rev 12)

ang gamit kong drives dati yung 'sky2' sa 2.6.21 may 'sky2' pa din pero hindi ma detect yun lan ko me bagong drivers naman na me kinalaman sa 'marvell yukon' yung 'skge' ni try ko ayaw pa den ma load :( .. so stick muna ako sa lumang kernel at intayin ko nalang me maglabas ng patch (sure ako me updates pa yung 2.6.21) maraming gumagamit ng 'intel 965' at kung nag li-linux sila tas mahilig mag update sure ako problema din aabutin nila hehe

na adik ako sa vmware

medyo na-adik nga ako sa vmware link balak ko kumuha ng extra mem para sa gateway box ko.. ang nakalagay ngayon 512mb gusto ko sana kahit 1gig man lang tapos install ako ng win2k3 or xp tapos me mga guest os ako.. siguro isang firewall at isang squid para testing.. ayon sa nabasa ko possible i-virtual yung external nic (sample mydestiny) tapos yung isang nic naka bridge sa local network dito.. ansaya diba hehe ram lang talaga kelangan... at balak ko den gamitin vmware sa production environment (sa opisina) tutal hindi naman graphics mga hina-handle ko puro server types so 'ram' pa den kelangan

kesa bibili ng maraming pc para sa servers pwede kumuha nalang ng 1 pc tapos mataba yung mem at hd tas virtual lahat ng process/applications.. mas tipid sa space (1 pc/server lang compared sa maraming pc/server) pero pag nasira yung pc sira lahat e.. pero ang kinaganda naman basta me backup ka lang ng virtual os pwede ilipat sa ibang pc at pwede ka mag save ng snapshots para madali i revert sa last snapshot (nag ka virus / palpak mga pinag gagawa mo na hindi mo na alam ano gagawin) o diba.. hd space at ram lang talaga kelangan...

sa isa kong employer meron syang dual xeon box at nakalagay centos tapos webserver lang (sayang diba).. pag kinontak ulit ako propose ko virtualization yung xeon na yun sasalpakan ko ng webserver, firewall, squid at kung ano ano pa.. separate os lahat (sayang naman kasi yung processor tapos walang ginagawa e)

enlightened

nag download ako ng e17 cvs at sinubukan ko sya ulit (dati ni try ko sya kaso marami masyadong problema lalo na pag add ng apps) pero ngayon medyo ok ok na sya isang beses palang ako nag crash hehe (nag open ako ng video sa konqueror) iniisip nyo ano kinalaman ng konqueror sa e17? ang e17 ay naghahandle ng windows (window borders etc) window manager ang e17 sa ngayon (alam ko kasi hindi lang window manager ang target ng e17)

sa pag add ng apps sa menu medyo madali na sya ngayon ginagamit na nya yung desktop entry spec link tapos yung categories mo sa favorites/application menu ay directory based na so madali na talaga mag add ng apps... for short ang gagawin mo lang mkdir at copy paste ng .desktop file tas rename/palitan mo nalang yung mga contents nya sa loob hehe.. dati kasi medyo pahirapan pa

ang ginagamit kong theme ay yung gant
