The joys of cooking
February 23, 2008 – 8:26 pmOver the past few months I have started to learn how to cook and I must say, so far I have enjoyed it quite a bit. In the hopes of celebrating a new found semi-passionate activity, I decided to write a little about how I cook. Read the rest of this entry »
Design Patterns
February 3, 2008 – 12:36 amYesterday I came across this site that shows you all the common design patterns and their applications. It definitely is a great site to add to your bookmark, specially for all those technology enthusiasts, developers and hardcore coders! I personally do not like the video tutorials that they have, but I’ll leave it up to the audience to decide what their opinions are about them.

Plastic dependency
February 2, 2008 – 10:50 pmRegardless of what was said in The Graduate (1967), “There’s a great future in plastics” we ought to know that plastics are one of the main factors that are causing grave harm to our present environment and they have been doing so for many a decades. People need to start using less and less plastic products where applicable and refrain from using plastic bags as much as possible!
Do you need some motivation? If so, I suggest you read this article from The New York Times.
SAVE THE WORLD, REDUCE YOUR PLASTIC USAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Play your part in conserving the environment now, while you can. It will also benefit your health and your conscience! Think about it!!!!!!
Cheers!
Sun & MySQL
January 16, 2008 – 3:21 pmI don’t think anyone saw this coming. Sun to acquire MySQL. The vision of Jonathan Schwartz seems to lead towards the “Open” arena. Although MySQL has been pretty popular within the open source community, not a lot of large enterprises have adopted it for their enterprise class applications (Google is an exception ofcourse). It would be interesting to see the climb that MySQL could possibly attain now that it will be backed by a large enterprise such as Sun.
This is great news, hopefully as Schwartz put it on his blog “we’re putting a billion dollars behind the M in LAMP”, let’s see how far this investment takes MySQL.
Cheers!
Canonical Landscape Beta
January 16, 2008 – 10:31 amAfter some waiting, finally got the beta invite to try out Canonical Landscape. To sum it up in a few words, Landscape allows for managing of Ubuntu systems possible via the web. Click the link above to visit the main page. Over the next few weeks, I will add various of the Ubuntu servers I have running and get them setup on Landscape. Hopefully I can manage the servers while at work.
Cheers!

January 1, 2008 – 4:38 pmKeith Olbermann says it like it is. In the recent months, I’ve been watching some of the facts and information that Mr. Olbermann has presented against various people in the political office. Mr. Giuliani, you better start listening!

Information R/Evolution
October 22, 2007 – 4:40 pmHere is a great video that shows the evolution and revolution of information gathering and storage. To think that there is so much information out there, and we are still in our infancy of knowing what to do with it. (Referred by: David Humphrey via Facebook) Read the rest of this entry »
