Facebook iLoader App for iPhone
Are you addicted to Facebook? Yeah, me too. Well, we should all probably join a support group or something, but instead I am here to help you become a more engaged Facebooker. You’re welcome.
I basically don’t use a “real” camera anymore at all, because my iPhone never leaves my sweaty little palms and there’s no reason to carry extra stuff. And I also really like to keep a constant stream of mobile photos coming in, because I know that everyone… More »
Kevin Harvick is Ready to Race!
The third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series has been run and Jimmy Johnson looks to be fast and strong once again, but things are still early and reading a lot into the results so far is going to be a mistake you’ll regret later on. The Sprint Cup Series is just getting started and some of the teams will be slower starters than others. Jimmy Johnson is known for being a strong starter and even stronger finisher, so… More »
Ragnarok Online Ep 20: Into The Unknown
I may not be playing Ragnarok Online anymore, but new—and continuous—updates to this old school massively multiplayer online role-playing game sometimes makes it hard to resist the temptation, especially since the game’s free-to-play servers make it easy to enter the virtual world of Rune Midgard and continue the journey.
No, I will not give in to the temptation to reactivate my Ragnarok Online characters, but this won’t stop me from announcing upcoming changes to the game, both local and international. In… More »

Soulja Boy “Pretty Boy Swagg”
A new music video from Soulja Boy has been released. The video is for the song called “Pretty Boy Swagg.” It looks like the track is off of his upcoming album, “The DeAndre Way.” The album title refers to his real name which is DeAndre Cortez Way. Honestly, listening to the song and looking at the video, it just seems like a big joke. Is he being serious?! Maybe, it’s just me, but not only is… More »

A 9-race card is on tap at Santa Anita on Feb 28th. Sunny skies are expected with a high temperature of 68.
The opening race is a flat mile claiming affair. Outside Shot is sharp and breaks from 29% rail post. Late running threat for hot barn.
The 2nd race is an optional claiming event. Originally scheduled for turf, it will now be run at 6.5f on Pro-Ride synthetic footing. Gilded Gem drops out of a graded event and could tag these.

Plasma Netbook
KDE on your netbook. Sounds pretty. The eye-catching style of KDE 4.3 is growing on me, actually. And so I am beginning to wonder how it would be like to use it instead of GNOME. Heading to the KDE page on the Plasma Netbook made me drool. The interface for KDE on the netbook has the SAL acronym which stands for Search and Launch. Sounds like something I’d definitely use. The reason why… More »
Of Widgets and Applets
Some of the things that make KDE and GNOME awesome are the widgets and applets that they have. As well as some related applications. I’ve been using KDE almost exclusively on my older laptop at work and I’ve become pretty much accustomed to KDE there. In fact, I miss using KDE from time to time.So which KDE widgets do I like a lot?Picture frame. Yes, a simple looking picture frame makes my days happier. Why?… More »
Tonido for Sharing Stuff
I learned about Tonido from Scribbles and Snaps’ blog entry non two open source tools for photographers. It was stated there that Tonido is a tool which you could use to share photos with other people from your desktop without having to upload them to a different service. Although it is possible to share them online too. So what’s with Tonido?It’s one heck of an all-around server but a lot of the things you want to share, you don’t have… More »

Ubuntu on ARM
Familiar with how the Ubuntu Netbook Remix looks like? The screenshot on this article about Ubuntu on ARM-based devices made me think it was UNR. They’re designing a new user interface that looks quite like UNR. There’s a challenge with regards to graphics drivers and so far they’ve found a different interface to be the possible solution. The new interface will be using Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. This interface is also said to be based on… More »
Lubuntu 10.04 is Looking Good
Speaking of Ubuntu, the Ubuntu derivative with LXDE as a default desktop environment looks great. I just started looking at some of the screenshots of Lubuntu 10.04. There are screenshots from Alpha 3 and Alpha 4. Looks like I might consider upgrading to Lubuntu 10.04 instead of the Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Why? The screenshots I saw convinced me that LXDE in its netbook session mode is a good option. Although I’d have to see… More »
“Last Rebellion” Out Now
For those of you with that secret love of far away lands, creatures, and special powers, you may be drawn to Last Rebellion, where you’ll play in the world of Junovald. The place is ruled by two very different gods by the names of Formival and Meitilia. As you probably guessed, one is good (Formival) and the other is evil (Meitilia).

How young are they? They’re 8 and 12 years of age. Mirano Cafiero and Saskia and Malakai Wade were able to talk about technologies they use such as GIMP, Tux Paint, OLPC XO and Open Shot.

Offline Dictionary – Artha
As someone who writes blog entries, documentation, and stories, I find myself having to consult the dictionary from time to time. Especially when there are words I don’t use often and they are the more appropriate words to use. Fortunately, there’s an offline dictionary application. It’s called Artha.What’s awesome about Artha?Well, for starters, it’s available even when you’re offline. Also, the graphical user interface on this dictionary application is pretty good too. There is a space for entering the word… More »
