Manage your time effectively
2008-01-22 00:00:00 Poor management of time will prevent even the smartest of people from reaching their full potential. You either end up doing very little or not at all and living an unproductive life is much worse than not living at all. All of us have the same amount of time so the challenge that face us is using this resource effectively. Here’s a few tips to help you get started: Set Goals Goals are not just for a sense of direction, they help you keep track of where you are, what you’ve done and what still needs to be done. Just remember SMART: Specific - Set very definite goals. It’s constrictive yes but it will prevent you from getting sidetracked from what you reall want to do. Measurable - When you’re doing something, you want to be able to track your progress. Goals you can’t measure are difficult to attain because you won’t know where you are. Attainable - Set goals with common sense in mind. Set goals that you have the attitudes, abilities, skills... More About: Time , Manage
Geeks and Valentines #1: Gift ideas
2008-01-22 00:00:00 The big day is still a 26 days away and already people are stocking up on gifts like flowers, cards, chocolates even gadgets. And with good reason, anything branded valentines either disappear or rise exponentially in prices. Items such as these include but are not limited to: Valentines plush toys Valentines day cards Valentines chocolates - this includes everything from Hershey’s to Goya. Valentines day flowers - roses or tulips if you run out of roses which you most certainly will. Small bundles called Valentines memoirs Now, as a Geek, I usually buy before the rush and buy what I know my girlfriend will love. It saves me the hassle of coming up with excuses and the headache of thinking something up. Now, if you’re at a loss on what to give this valentines here’s a quick list. Note that Geeks will most probably love this list of gift ideas more than regular people. E-valentines message - This can be in the form of an e-card, an MMS message or even a vi...

News you just missed: Link Love #1
2008-01-22 00:00:00 Thank God and Geeks for inventing the RSS reader. Can you imagine if you had to read all those 50+ blogs in your bookmarks? Well for one, we’d all be stuck in front of your computers getting flooded with surges of new items and we’d never get anything done, there’d be no conflicts since we’re too busy reading and we’d all require glasses ^^. Now the premise of this so called News you just missed… is just that. News just you just missed. I’ll link (or at least try to) to the most interesting news on my RSS feeds (and God knows that’s a long list). This series will be out on Fridays or Saturdays so be sure to check it out.

Protecting your content
2008-01-22 00:00:00 Scrapers are the worst type of visitors to your site. Why? They “scrape” everything, your posts, your images, even links which are likely at the bottom, and post it as their own. Here’s a prime example of a scraper. See the title on the page? It was sraped from my post over here. Now it’s not like I have a Million Dollars worth in my content but see, this is why this guy is in the feed. So how do you prevent things like this from happening? Let’s break it down to 2 parts: Hotlinking RSS Scraping Hotlinking is not only stealing content, it’s stealing bandwidth as well. It’s bad enough if your site has to deal with the Digg-effect on a regular basis but couple that with images on your server getting ripped then you’re on a one way ticket to exceeding your monthly bandwidth limit. This could mean as little as a few bucks added on your tab or getting your account suspended indefinitely. To prevent the horrors of hotlinking, her... More About: Content
Custom Firmware 3.80 is released
2008-01-22 00:00:00 As you’ve noticed in some of my posts, I’m slowly shifting this blog to a gaming niche to make way for Pinoy Tech Guy. It wouldn’t make much sense to have 2 blogs on the same niche right so bear with me with the changes. Now on with the post. If you’re new to the PSP scene, then this is the first time you’ll hear the name Dark Alex. His M33 group releases the custom firmware that allows PSP users (both Phat and Slim) to enjoy freedom from UMDs and use Homebrew Apps. A few days ago, they released CFW (Custom Firmware ) 3.80 M33 that added Internet Radio to the PSP’s arsenal. Note that when you’re upgrading or downgrading firmwares, there is always a tiny risk of bricking your PSP. The risk increases when you don?t follow instructions so before you proceed a step, READ and RE-READ. What do I need? A PSP-1000 (Phat) or PSP-2000 (Slim) with a CFW of at least 3.52 M33-4 or higher. If you’re still on Official Firmware (OFW)and want ... More About: Released

Gundam 00 - Episode 14
2008-01-21 00:00:00 Gundam 00’s first episode of the year starts out with a bang. There’s a new intro (and outro) for the series and like all others before it, spoilers abound but before we get to that, let’s start with what’s revealed with the episode. Many forum-ers have predicted that the Celestial Being’s “base” is some sort of orbital platform. This was not far the truth, their actual dock is hidden within an Asteriod field near the HRL’s first Space Colony (reminder of how the Klein faction in Gundam SEED Destiny were able to construct the new Gundam models). Back on earth, all 3 powers (HRL, AEU, Union) are now aiming for the Gundams, not individually but as a big group. They’re still aiming to get one of these shiny units for themselves but overall, their respective military forces are moving for one big deployment. This is a list of anti-Gundam Units of each of the powers. HRL - Aside from Sergei Smirnov, theres mention of a Project G(i... More About: Episode , Gundam , Gundam 00

Did Gentoo just die?
2008-01-21 00:00:00 While no official body has yet to confirm or spread news about it, Daniel Robbins, creator of Gentoo Linux, confirmed that the Gentoo Foundation’s charter has been revoked for the next several weeks. In layman’s terms, as of this moment the Gentoo Foundation no longer exists. Apparently this happened because the people who are supposed to be in charge of keeping this alive have mostly resigned or are MIA. Aside from neglected online duties like publishing newletters, updating the site, etc, they didn’t file routine paperwork with the proper authorities, which puts the legal status of the Gentoo foundation in jeopardy. No one has explained why to the community, or said much of anything until Daniel stepped forward. What will happen to Gentoo now? Referring to the foundation, Daniel is offering to return to his post as president of the foundation (as posted on his blog) so things at the enterprise end will remain stable. On the distro end, even with the ...
syl re-plays RF Online
2008-01-21 00:00:00 I’m officially from my school after a long and tiring completion period so I follow Mcbilly’s advice and decided to spend the next few days playing. I removed the dust from my PS2 (it has been so ever since the Wii arrived), and played some good old Final Fantasy 12. After I got bored of watching my character roam the map, automatically killing everything on site (the wonders of FF12’s gambit system and some rubber bands), I’ve diverted most of my attention and free time to my current MMO, RF Online . so pardon the lack of updates. I wanted to catch up to several online buddies who as of the moment are now playing on a different server (sucks to be left out). Long story short, here’s the very reason (click for a full view) why I was not out posting nor launching my new blog (check it out here, it’s still bearing the Under Construction sign): Total playing tim: 32 hrs and 41 minutes (according to Xfire at least) While PL-ing (Power Leveling, if...

Blogroll Page for Wordpress
2008-01-21 00:00:00 Over time, your Wordpress blog accumulates blogroll links that limitting a fixed amount of links to show on your blog becomes your last option. If you want to share more link love to your co-bloggers, why not use a blogroll page instead? Easier said than done, I tried looking for a widget for this purpose and found the Blogroll page widget but it wasn’t quite showing what I wanted: Doesn’t look very appealing right? Using the theme editor, open up your current theme look for your Page Template file Copy paste the contents of the Page Template file to your text editor Add this to the top of the file: <?php /* Template Name: Links */ ?> Look for a php tag with “the_content”. It may look like this: <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry<»</p>'); ?> and replace it with this: <?php wp_list_bookmarks(''); ?> note that you can use any argument you want.

Google on your TV
2008-01-21 00:00:00 The idea of a major internet company on your home tube (TV for the misnomer) is not as farfetched as it was 5 years ago. Sure, we already see so much ads that we get sick of it but consider the benefits of having your TV integrated with major net-based services like YouTube. Of course there’ll be ads (it’s Google ) but wouldn’t it be great to be able to download content straight (stream it actually) to your TV? Panasonic, a major Japanese manufacturer has signed a deal with Google to do just that. The hardware at the center of this deal are Internet-ready Flat Panel Plasma Television with built-in access to YouTube and as well as other Google services. Big Deal I can do that with my Rig on a XX” screen Take note that not everyone is a geek and willing to be one. People who do casual computing (and watch online videos) would very much appreciate the technology. Imagine popping up an interesting video like this one while your favorite show goes on it’...
RF Online PH?s New Server - Xenos
2008-01-21 00:00:00 I entirely forgot to post this last night since I got excited re-participating in the 9:00 pm Chip Wars and ended PL-ing my Hecate to level. Lo and behold, RF Online Philippines has upped a new server, Xenos. As of yet, no details concerning the Exp, PT and drop rate for the new server has been announced but I’ll keep you updated any news that comes my way. The winner of the name that server contest will be announced probably later in the day during or after maintainance. The contest mechanics stated the list was to be available after the server has launched (which it already did) but as of the moment there’s no clue as to who won the contest. If you’re interested in joining us on Novus, register now to play the first sci-fi MMORPG and download the full RF game. Also take note that the next patch for RF Online (Update 6?

PSP to a PSPhone
2008-01-21 00:00:00 Sony has confirmed what many of the PSP gurus have been expecting, that Skype is coming to the PSP Slim. Though there’s still no official word on what features it will contain, many speculate a full version of the program that runs all of Skype’s PC/Mac features will soon run on your PSP Slims turning it to a cellphone (so long as you’re still on a Wifi connection) Sounds enticing doesn’t it? I’ve been using Skype for quite sometime now (chat with friends and family) and mobile access is quite simply, a dream come true. Sony has set Skype for the PSP to be enabled via the next firmware update at the end of January. Once installed, you’ll see the Skype icon (as above) on your XMB. What can you do with Skype? Free Skype to Skype voice calls Contact management (a phonebook literally) SkypeOut? to call landlines and cellphones anywhere in the world (not Free) A SkypeIn?
