And as if telling us how perfectly fine he is, our baby showed us the clearest view of his face for the first time. Amazing.
Okay, Han said it's the second time already. I missed the first time (I was running up to the infirmary from the UP lib).
Thanks for the Prayers
Praise God and thank you people for the prayers. Our baby turned out to be in perfectly good health. Yup, mommy Hannah has still more-than-the-average amount of amniotic fluid in her tummy, but our baby is fine.
And as if telling us how perfectly fine he is, our baby showed us the clearest view of his face for the first time. Amazing.

Firefox 1.04 Security Update
Firefox 1.04 has been released. The update fixes a critical vulnerability found in Firefox 1.0 - 1.03 that could allow a malicious code to run on a user's computer. Specially vulnerable are those who have added additional sites to Firefox's software installation whitelist. Although no real world exploit has taken advantage of this vulnerability (yet) , I still highly recommend that you guys DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE UPDATE NOW.

Secret
Stumbled upon (through stumbleupon ;p ) this great site: postsecret -
My favorite secret? Maybe this one:
an ongoing community art project where people mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.Great read. (someone cried while we were reading this. hehe )

Wow. It's ugly here...
Planning a redesign. So i decided to use the simplest template that I could get as a placeholder. Im almost sure that my redesign would be uglier, but as Jaemark said before (im already too sleepy to link back) at least it's (well) mine.
A couple of notes though...

- See that white band on the upper right part of my page? I put it there for a reason, so click away. And while you're there, get one for your blog.
- My blog roll is a rip-off from Pisay 98 blog, of course. (i see that more and more people are blogging now) hehe. So again, click away.
It Just Works
Microsoft is touting a new slogan : It just works (gulay, pati ba naman slogan di na pinalampas?)
Anyway, reading the comments on Slashdot, I found this gem:

*raises hand*hehe.
Gates: "Yes. You there with your hand up."
Me: "Mr. Ballmer? Mr. Gates? What about spyware and virii on the Longhorn platform?"
Bill: "As our slogan says, 'It just works!'"
Me: "Oh."

Hehe...

More on that Adobe - Macromedia Merger
As jem said, the magic word is 3.4B.
Also, Jason Kottke posted a very good roundup of reactions to the deal. A good starting point if you're interested to dig a little bit deeper.

3 x 5 index cards as your ultimate PIM tool.
I heard (read) the idea first from a post in the plug-misc mailing list as a reply to one user's post asking about the PIM tools that others were using. The idea is so simple and yet well reasoned that I quickly bought the idea (quite naturally, the cred of the poster gave the idea a hell of a backing). I didn't actually follow the advise right away and sure enough, forgot it a few days later (Mark the procrastinator 1, Mark the OC, 0)
Fast forward one week. I stumbled upon (thru del.icio.us, hehe) this very cool hack: "The Hipster PDA". Great Men Think Alike, huh?
I'll definitely be making my own Hipster PDA. Now.

Geek (boring) News
Ouch. That's a really effective way of rubbing it: Announcing on your team blog that you just pirated a key Engineer (one with a PhD)from one of your key competitors (and posting links to his page still hosted on that competitor's own site). Anyway, I think that MS surely hit gold (and spent some) in hiring Dr Gary Flake of Yahoo (Overture). Let's wait and see what key Yahoo people have to say about this...

What's on my iTunes Party Shuffle
SmartPlaylist - Artist is Eraserheads
It's the ultimate background music for walking down the memory lane. Ever.

Reminiscing.... the ROTC days.
wow... only three more signatures and I'm officially done with my college (sa wakas). Then there's still the clearance, but I don't really care about it right now. Manuscript muna.
Pero may lumabas pala na added na deficiency sa records ko nung last ko syang tiningnan early this week. 5 PA DIN AKO SA MS21 (VIP-CWS). Some Alfredo Gamis got the change of grade that I rightfully earned way back 2001. Of course there's no Alfredo Gamis in UP, which made things easier for me, but I still had to go back to the mighty (and full or memories) DMST building. Shucks. ganun pa din. Syempre Sir Lantican is still there (sa mga nakakalimot, sya yung isa sa mga nagdidistribute ng baril pag drill time na nakikikupal din), but I think sya na head ng CWS.
It took them almost an hour to patch up the mess with my record so I had to wait there for a while, and gave me enough time to try to remember memories of my (our) ROTC years (actually i didn't have to try). Fabros definitely came to mind. And Sweet Corn. Tapos si Yancy, and of course si Tentoy... and his waffles. The best pomelo juice in the world, yung mga lumpya and turon - hmmm, nakakagutom pero at the same time nakakapagod. hehe. Syempre nothing beats the experiences sa field. Naalala nyo pa ba yung wakwak na fatigues ni Mads? Eh yung pink na type B uniform ni Jonas (dapat kasi hinihiwalay sa white shirts ang red underwears eh)? Eto the best: yung hand-drawn ROTC shirt ni Ruben (di ko nga lang maalala kung may gumamit nga nun). Ewan ko lang ha, pero looking back, im really happy na required pa Miltary Training sa batch natin dati... ansarap din kasi i-reminisce. hehe.
I could have started this post with something like this: "Pagmulat mo ng mata, sarap ng pakiramdam, weekend - walang klase. wohooo! tapos bigla mong maaalala sabado pala. ROTC!!! ....wala na... parang gusto mo na mamatay."
pahabol. alam nyong naging si Yancy at sweet corn, di ba?
sigh. sobrang late, pero ggraduate na nga ako...

GreaseMonkey rules | Firefox pop-up blocker
What I have now:
1. Persistent Search in Gmail
2. Ad-free Yahoo mail (free version) (don't follow this link unless you have greasemonkey already installed)
3. Autocomplete in my Post to Del.icio.us bookmarklet
all thanks to Greasemonkey. The uber firefox extension. Definitely worth installing (even only for no. 1 above, but there's a lot more...)
...
Firefox has a sort of unofficial update to its pop-up blocker engine (as of now packaged as a POP-UPS MUST DIE! extension). Problem is that it catches even gmail's valid pop ups (and a few other non-evil pop-ups I guess), so you must add gmail.google.com to the allowed sites. The most apparent effect for us is the removal of friendster's pop ups (which nikki correctly identified as flash-generated pop ups).
update: they have an updated, "less draconian" extension (hopefully it now plays nicely with Gmail). Get it here
...
Greasemonkey is one of the hundreds of extensions (stuff that adds extra functions that your firefox browser can do) that you can add to Firefox, the best web browser I have ever used. If you still haven't downloaded firefox, please, help yourself. Get it now.

Google Maps has Satellite view!
Google has finally integrated Keyhole into Google Maps (as if the current implementation doesn't kick competitors' butts hard enough...)
So now the AJAX - powered Google maps has satellite imagery to boot! 'cha... magkakaroon din kaya tayo nito?.
Hulaan nyo kung kaninog address to? Clue - the destination leads to Jona's place. (i'm not suggesting anything here, just to be clear). Address lang kasi ni ****** at ni Jona ang meron ako eh..

Googles and Yahoos
Gmail just turned 1! Now we have 2GB of mail storage (woopeedee!). I wonder how Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers feel right now.
And of course, Gmail has rich text editing now, so prepare for the onslaught! of annoying HTML emails.
And in case you missed the Birthday bash, see it here....
....
Oh, one more thing. I managed to get a Yahoo 360 invite, so, yun. Of course it's still in Beta so glitches are present, but overall I think this is going to be a great thing. Something that is really for the users, not just tech heads... If you're interested you can always buy an invite from me, hehe... kidding. I'll be inviting most people on my Messenger friends list, but just in case I miss your name or if you just want to join 360, just drop me an email... Just make sure I can recognize you though.
I hope I can manage to post a good review of the product...(and hopefully soon)
