25 gig of data sure takes a long time to complete... both ends operating at ethernet 100 speed via a crossover cable (no hub/switch)... feeling sleepy...

been meaning to attend the pinoyjug-projects meeting tonite... very near to our office... but sigh, there's still a lot of things needing my urgent attention... would be able to help out tho... just cant attend the meetings for now...

wonder if when will be the first hackathon here in the philippines... ala openbsd hackathon were a bunch of geeks meet and hack opensource happy code...

also been thinking why there are not many (actually haven't met any) active open source developer in the truest sense in the philippines... maybe due to practical reasons that better do good first and be productive in a day job than live the life of true open source dev and be paid for doing cool stuff... wonder if there are open source companies here too... hmmnn... the closest thing i can think of is the ASTI DOST people... though not a commercial entity people here are paid to do cools stuff, purely research that may or may not have commercial value... i hope the people here do "enjoy" what they are doing... the hungry programmers society, hmmnnn...

been listening to some blues music while typing this... the harmonica, the guitar riffs.... nice soothing music...

oras na para bumalik sa aking kama at sa malupit kong unan... will leave moby (laptop) and wolverine (desktop/server/etc) to finish the backup routine... got to add a larger capacity hard drive, two identical ones and a raid card to my wishlist...

i wonder, who on earth would be on his right mind to waste his time reading this blog? and why do i blog? come to think of it, i blog because i feel like blogging... to spill the contents of the room inside my mind... practically, should be doing this often to have some sort of e-diary for tracking back things... kind of a remembrance agent... dashboard comes into mind... that project is certainly an itch i want to scratch... certainly if a had the luxury of time... ahhhhhhh... the mind of the married man...

one more thing, should i be reading stuffs for grammar... one thing am sure of i suck into doing grammatically correct (obviously have a lot of spelling mistakes too, but that might be forgiven because more often than not my fingers do fly on the keyboard)... should search google for writing styles too... prose and poetry... poetry, poetry... i used to write non-sense poems... back in circa 1998 got addicted to chatting as well... that was the inquirer chat room where i met some people really good at writing poetry that it inspired me to try writing one as well... hope i had a way to get those poems back.... no matter how corny they were...

whoa! this is my very first LONG post...
