(ootips) Should Distributed Objects Be Stateless? picked this up from pinoyjug... will read later...
Maemo SDK Tutorial... gotta love this developer docs!
Nokia - Nokia 770, bummer... you can't use it as a phone... voip perhaps? cant find where the mic and speaker is placed. but it does have bluetooth.

now this competes with palm's lifedrive, albeit 4gig seems to be on the lifedrive's favor. on the linux front, this one goes head to head with the zaurus product line.

more reason to pursue my "as titilating as the wet corners of the mind" pet project. but damn, its a bit akward to go back to developing stand alone apps when you're basically surrounded by 365 degrees of server side programming in the past few years.
Nokia - Nokia 770 runs on linux! way to go nokia!!! palm, do take the hint ;)

Google personalized page also supports drag and drop for arranging your portlets... google's javascript hackers really rock!
Personalized Google... hmmnn... getting more portal like as each day passes by eh?

i like the quote of the day feature... i just hope it could be much more like the fortune cookies that unix has... and word for day is a nice feature too. today's word -> suffuse: spread through or over; to flush; so instead of saying " flush me baby" you can say "suffuse me baby... suffuse me".. . the latter sounds a bit sexier...

Plugins in Mono... a good place to start for my "an idea as titilating as the wet corners of the mind" pet project...

wonder what it would take if we can form a community that aims to build on ubuntu's success and produce a distro based on that with the typical Filipino desktop user in mind. bundle that with the ongoing tl translations and massive word of the mouth campaign and just maybe, just maybe, we could have something better than the current efforts to bring open source to mainstream pinoy desktop users.

iaudio X5... should be cheaper and BETTER than the proprietary ladden ipod...
A Conversation with Anders Hejlsberg... for later reading... AH is one of those Giants in the phrase "standing in the shoulder of giants" when spoken in a hacker context...
The BileBlog... interesting take on the harmony project...

Too much backend work for the past few years... Thats why using Glade feels somewhat weird... also the fact that my undergraduate thesis is exactly like Glade... except of course it was made to run on top of DOS...
an idea as titillating as the wet corners of the mind. :D
Miguel de Icaza comment's on firefox search model that takes away the annoying popup dialog box for searches. mentioned there was that the feature has been available for emacs and xemacs forever.

not to be outdone, am posting here a screenshot of vi:

yes, it has that feature too :D
managed to get the acegi working at last!!!

the current getting started articles on the web are quite confusing... now is the time i really wished i had not slept on english class... it would make writing tutorial type articles easier...

at any rate, i will take a stab at doing an article about acegi authentication for web applications soon...
