For the first time since I could remember, I’ve been doing nothing but eat, sleep, bloghop, eat then sleep again during these past few days. Unlike last year and the years before, I spent the entire Christmas day at home, locked up in my room, listening to music then watching some movies on DVD, bloghopping [...]
With the extended suspension of classes over the weekend, I thought I’d be able to bloghop like there’s no tomorrow and finish some posts in my ever so-growing drafts list. Boy I was wrong.
In the past 6 days my energies and bandwidth have been diverted not on this blog, but on the other sites that [...]

I’m a follower of Max Limpag. Every tech experiment he does, I follow and try to recreate on my own. The difference is that I don’t document my experiments that much, sole because I lack the tech tools and gadgets that are almost part and parcel of a tech blogger-wannabe’s tool box. A digicam or [...]

Looking back at my 21 years of living on this planet, and not that I’ve been to others, one could say that I’m not that good at keeping or fulfilling those things I’d included in all my previous lists. Mostly because they were too idealistic, grandiose or simply downright inhuman. Like acquire super human powers, conquer the world, become the next .com millionaire or win a Nobel Prize for something.
Joking aside, I really am not good at fulfilling new year’s resolution lists. Out of say, 4 items on every list I make, every new year, one or two are only fulfilled.
So this time around, after much thinking over and reviewing the past lists, years and experiences they represent; I decided to make my new year resolution list for 2007 a lot simpler and very, very practical. Something that would closely qualify for the S-M-A-R-T way of doing things or achieving goals, which what new year resolutions really are.
From Pinoy Explorer to the BioTech Chronicles and now, for good and in the spirit of things returning to their roots: Casino Royale and “Kami nAPO namanâ€, I’m back to writing The Four-eyed Journal. Hard for me to make up mind eh? I’d like to tell the story in a more polished manner but I think that going straight to the point and sharing with everyone else the real-story that led me to re-launching The Four-eyed Journal.
In essence, it works like the group mail services I mentioned before. Group messaging, file sharing, a central calendar to keep track of meetings and events. The advantage Group Loop has over those long established group mail services is that anyone in your group irregardless of their e-mail service providers could join in via an invitation from the account owner and manager.
Aside from this, Group Loop gives users the ability to pick their own subdomain.grouploop.com for their account giving way for easy web access instead of that long and often hard to remember Yahoo! Group or Google Group URL.

I know that it would not most likely happen overnight, (unless of course I come up with that Digg-inducing phenomenal post that would catapult me to big blogging sucess) and I would have to slug it out by working hard to improve my craft, writing, relating and dealing with my fellow bloggers and readers. I would have to adapt continuosly to the ever-changing landscape of the blog-o-sphere, the readers and audience, and the web for that matter. Come up with some innovations, twists and strategies of my own and master SEO to stay near the top of this blogging game.
Expanding into learning and eventually mastering some under-the-hood blogging like designing my own theme from scratch, hacking WordPress or even writing my own plugin to combat spam and other neat stuff.
Back in August, I saw this news item about a ceo advocating and launching a campaign to remove the Caps Lock key from the keyboard.
I symphatize and agree with the reasons he has espoused as to why the Caps Lock key could be a hazard in our productivity and everyday PC usage, reomving it from our keyboards altogether is somehow overreacting and neanderthal a solution.
Would you like to keep a finger constantly pressed down on the shift key while you type lines of text that need to be set in an all caps format?
The Caps Lock key is there for a purpose, a good purpose. It’s just a matter of wise usage and common sense to turn it into one of the most vital keys in our keyboards.
You get into a shop, (not Starbucks or any other A-class place), tell the person in charge you just want to use a pc for internet service because of number 8 above or you don’t have a pc at home. You’re given the unit number, you go look for it and OFMG! It’s right in the middle of two users playing online games. You take your chances, log in to your accounts, your blog included and as you type along (you’re quite in a hurry because the rate’s quite high) and every now and then you would feel and notice that the users flanking you take occassional peeks at your monitor screen and even spends a few seconds to actually read what you’re working on. It’s enough to make you borrow some of Garci’s infamous lines, “right to privacy!â€
