Protecting yourself with FreeBSD... good article for securing freebsd...

Mozilla.org site design si so slick... me likes it very much!

novell's free linux technical resource kit came today... 3 dvd's full of novell+suse+ximian technology... hope i can find free time to try this out...

the weather is gloomy... i feel gloomy... my spirit dampened... the price of working in IT... everything is a blur... everything is volatile... nothing is contstant... i worry not for myself, come to think i never worry for myself nowadays... its always for my loved ones, my children specially...

rain, rain... go away... come again another day...

seriously reading effective java now... man, this book rocks! geez even my iterator drill is lame... as the book points out using while for iterators is a no-no, for loops is better and more efficient... at least my being stubborn of insisting separating those layers is paying off... i can do a lot of fine tuning and unit testing of the business logic without giving the front end dev a lot of headache...

its raining cats and dogs outside... time to drink some coffee...

also been hacking this hal+dbus based applet to use static ip addresses for a while. the current gnome cvs version doesnt allow for static ip's and Ad-Hoc wlan mode...



of course, since am a gnome coding newbie, the end result was the network applet having hard coded values... but it *somehow* works...

as a result of my frustration with firefox sage plugin and gnome straw (gentoo build doesnt compile cleanly) for rss feeds, i downloaded the planet aggregator python app to have a local version of mig's pinoytechscene... a few minutes of configuring planet and pixel pushing with gimp resulted to this (click on the link get a bigger picture):



i'll try to find the wackiest pictures of those people in the list and create hackergocthi versions of their heads soon ;)...

lately, this two little angels has been my finely tuned excuse for not blogging and not sending emails to my friends and relatives. the eldest seems to have adjusted to the fact the she is now a sister and the lil' boy is insanely increasing his cuteness factor each day ;)
