Google Malware Warning

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

You guys probably already know that sometimes when you’re using Google, it labels certain websites as harmful. And most of the time…Google’s right. But what happens when Google labels it’s own website as harmful? Hahaha. Something’s definitely wrong right now, Google is labeling every website as harmful. And when you click on it, it tells you that it may harm your computer! Looks like Google’s glitched right now. Check out the screenshots I took.

OpenSUSE 11.1 KDE 4.1.3

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Well since my desktop is now fubar…I’m just using my laptops now, one has Windows XP and the other one is my GNU/Linux test bed which is currently running OpenSUSE 11.1. I first used GNOME since I was used to Fedora’s GNOME desktop environment. I figured out that I should at least try the other desktop environments for a longer period of time. In case you’re wondering I tried KDE a long time ago and I hated it. But since KDE 4.1.3 has been around for a couple of months now, I told myself that I should use it. And quite frankly…I’m impressed, hehe. I mean just a few tweaks here and there and it looks awesome. All I did was change the wallpaper and change the theme to Oxygen and it looks fantastic – probably better than Windows 7 in terms of first impressions. Take a look at it yourself…

I Can’t Talk, My Mouth Hurts

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Damn this! It’s been weeks now! I can’t talk! All I have is a keyboard, and a bunch of papers and pen if I want to talk to people. I feel like ranting all day…rant rant rant I go. When will this end? Sigh. Anyway, when I get better, I’ll post a cuople of pictures of my new toy(s).

I Will Miss You Uncle Boy

Monday, January 19th, 2009

My dear Uncle Boy passed away at around 2:00 AM this morning…I will miss him. It was just over a week ago that I was in Houston, TX paying him a visit. And although I already know his condition and that every single day that he wakes up is a miracle in itself, there was this little hope that somehow he will recover and I may get to see him again.

It’s Official, My Dad Has Signed Up For Friendster

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Lol, yeah he signed up all by himself though I did help after a couple of failed attempts to sign up. Let me upt it this way, he’s 60 years old and instead of just typing hotmail.com in google.com and just checking his e-mail, he actually went to another website which is well friendster.com. That’s awesome! I know y’all are a lot more literate than my dad when it comes to the internet but I mean come on! He’s 60 years old and he’s signing up for Friendster! Reason? To chat with his cousins and other relatives! Unbelievable! Lol! And you know why this rocks? He did it in CentOS 5.3 which I’ve setup for him and mom, hahaha. Take that you parents who use Microsoft Windows. Not so computer literate parents can indeed use GNU/Linux, they just need a little motivation from their nerdy and geeky son.
