Supr Flickr!

Wow.

I'm currently really really busy but I have to blog about this. Anyway, the Firefox extension I created just yesterday, Supr Flickr, got a review!

Thanks Josh Lowensohn and to the makers of Better Flickr, where my extension is based. Also thanks to Anthony Lieuallen for his Script Compiler.

I made this extension because I noticed that Better Flickr has not been updated for a long time now, and several of it's functionalities are broken, like photo magnifier. I also wanted to add several features. So there. I hope it gets out of the Sandbox and hope it helps a lot of users.

Marica Gonzales is a viral campaign

I'm sure a lot of you have received this email from a certain Marica Gonzales. I tweeted about it immediately because I knew there was something fishy about it. It was well-constructed with correct grammar and punctuation. It was sent directly to me, but I knew right away that it was spam.

Well, it turns out that it was a big viral campaign for Datu Puti's soy sauce (or toyo), according to Azrael.

They have set up a YouTube channel as well.

I don't know what to think about this. Before, I vocally hoped that Pablo Banila is a viral campaign for a hair product or something.

But this Marica Gonzales thing is a bit different. It was an email directly sent to individuals, whereas that Pablo Banila thing created a buzz when a lot of users got freaked out by his weird viewing habits, gross looks, and disturbing website. But the email was a bit uncreative in the opinion and pushing it too far. How did "she" get our emails by the way?

It was a great idea, but should've been executed better.

Mercury retrograde

I really hope that the current state of my laptop's battery is attributed to the Mercury retroagrade. My laptop used to beep really loud when the battery is about to be fully drained before hibernating. But now it just hibernates without even alarming me! And I think it drains faster than before.

Please let this be due to the Mercury retrograde. I don't want to buy a new battery.

Firefox 3

Firefox 3 is blazing fast, I don't know how I was able to surf before without it.

Blogging from...

Conlin's Lifestyle Cafe in SM Southmall.

It's pouring again! And I don't want to get myself nor my laptop to get wet.

I am not a fan of their coffees and fruit smoothies, but their vanila chai latte is fantastic! Their pastries are good as well, although their cinnamon roll is too sweet for me.

Oh, did I mention the connection was great awesome?

Blogging from...

Mandarin Wok in Mall of Asia. You get free WiFi for a minimum of Php 30, powered by e-yellowpages.

Argh. I find myself spending just so I can avail of free WiFi. Should've went home instead - no food expenses, probably faster Internet.

I. Should. Break. This. Habit.

Well, I'd just convince myself that since it was already 8pm and I was already very very hungry, the hundred bucks worth of dinner and free WiFi was worth it.

How I wish I was that foolish...

Why I love WikiMapia

I finally was able to commute to Greenhills by my own. Okay, I had help by asking my friend to alert me when we are at Recto so I could alight the FX. Sorry, I still don't recognize Recto. They all look the same to me. But I digress.

It has been a habit of mine to "review" my travel by looking the route the public transportation took on a map. And I found myself on WikiMapia. While tracing the route, I came across several comments that really cracked me up. Here are some gems:

Why I love Burger King

Free Wi-Fi. Free gadget and cellphone charging. Free entertainment.

Oh, and good burgers and onion rings as well!

Dead

I've got the first dead pixel on my laptop. Why oh why does this have to happen?

I have Obsessive-compulsive disorder especially when it comes to my things.

China Inc.

What did I expect when buying a Lenovo? Shaun was made in China.

Being the old skooler that I am, paranaoia immediately sank in. I did some online search for Lenovo reviews. Complaints here, raves there. Which shall I believe?

Nothing I could do now. Except putting into mind that other laptops by the "big" brands are being manufactured by Taiwanese companies, which in turn set up factories in China.

And that Lenovo was IBM's manufacturer way back in 2001.

Dear Lord I hope Shaun dies old. Really really old.

Shaun

The past few days, Shaun has always been in my mind. He keeps me awake all night. When I sleep, I savor the thought that I could see him the next day.

I think I'm addicted.

Surface computing has arrived

Have you checked out Microsoft Surface yet? I don't know about you, but I'm very very excited by this.

It basically is a touch-sensitive computer with form factor of a table. Surface can connect with the Zune, your credit card, and your mobile phone. It can act as a concierge, or a trip organizer. Visit the site to learn more and be amazed. I know I was.

Now if only consumer versions would arrive in our country before I have kids...
