penoycentral — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:55:12 +0000

Apple launched Iphone 4 in Singapore today. Early queue was seen as early as 6pm yesterday. Starhub Tampines was already out-of-stock before the day ends. It shows how strong the marketing strategy of Steve Jobs despite complains over the phone.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Unboxing

penoycentral — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:19:38 +0000

This is not unboxing post anyway since this is an overdue entry on my blog. Quite busy with work eh. Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, my 4month-old smartphone. The flagship of Sony in the Android-phone arena. At first im kinda angry with this phone because the battery life would not last for 24 hours of normal usage with no mp3′s sound trip and movie. But since SE released the updated firmware version R2BA020, battery-life goes with 3 days of normal usage. Not bad for a smartphone if you ask me. Can’t wait for the next update due Q4 of this year.

Package includes free pouch, phone, and headphone

Back of the phone

This is the old Firmware, new update is available now in Singapore and Australia thru SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service)

Bazooka Joe

Bazooka Joe

How i miss Bazooka Joe. Kung ikaw ay kabataan ng 80′s at early 90′s, malamang kilala mo si Bazooka Joe. Ito yung bubble gum na may free comics ng mga misadventures ni Bazooka and the gang. Nangungulekta ako nito, pero sa kadahilanang nakabalot sa bubble gum ang comics, madalas itong pagpyestahan ng mga langgam sa aking taguan.

May bago ng henerasyon ng Bazooka, pero wala pa akong nakikita dito sa Singapore o kaya sa Pinas na nagtitinda nito.. Sana maging available na ulit ito sa suking tindahan natin para maipakita ko ito sa magiging anak ko at para maikuwento ko na kay Bazooka ako natutong magblow…. ng bubble….

Palpak na PCOS machines

penoycentral — Mon, 03 May 2010 21:58:23 +0000

Bakit kaya pumapalpak ang SMARTMATIC PCOS machines pagdating sa barangay tally. There’s no room for erros lalo na sa time na ito na kung saan, ilang araw na lang ay eleksyon na. Programmer at technical nightmares pag nagkataon. In a worst case scenario, baka mag-manual count pagdating sa barangay pero na-defeat ang purpose ng kaunaunahang Philippine election automation. Nagbayad pa naman limpak na salapi na kinuha sa ating mga buwis.

Im not against with automation, since nasa IT field ako. but with thorough planning at testing sana. Hindi yung ganitong bara-bara. Reactive sila sa mga technical problems with poor alibi. Basa ang papel, umurong ang papel, dahil ng moist, eh kasi manipis ang papel. Hindi na ako magtataka na pati ang alignment ng buwan at araw ay gawin na ding alibi

Novell Data Center Technical Specialist

penoycentral — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:22:06 +0000

After the free Novell Certified Linux Administrator certification, now Novell again gives free certification. Novell Data Center Technical Specialist. Everyone who received this cert is clueless what does this means. Quick search on the Novell site does’nt give any result or info.

I’m not sure if i will add this cert on my CV. Free cert without exam? Bad idea i guess..
