I’ve bought the “Agile Web Development with Rails” book on a business trip to Australia as an added motivation to start learning it (I couldn’t find a copy of it in my hometown in the Philippines) So ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2007/01/22/agile-web-development-with-rails/ I’ve been practicing with eating using chopsticks whenever I’ve had the chance to eat at the local Japanese restaurant. Just this afternoon, after ordering a chicken bento with my brother, I’ve decided I’m already good at it. Now I can say that I won’t go hungry if I’d go to Japan ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2006/04/03/88/ I know. I haven’t blogged anything for the past few, er, months. And, as if having one blog which I can’t even manage to post regularly isn’t enough, I’ve just set up another blog. I’m thinking of it as a tech-oriented blog. So, no more mushy stuff in there - only ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2006/03/26/new-blog/ Since people have been messaging me like I’m their 24-hour technical support… #!/usr/bin/ruby 1000.times { print "I will not log-in to YM during office hours! \n" } http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2005/12/13/i-will-not-log-in-to-ym/ Bought new books last week. Practical JavaScript for the Usable Web - I have yet buy a good JavaScript book. Already have the Peachpit one but it was more of a copy-the-code-and-paste-in-your-html type book that never really teaches you about the JavaScript language. This one is better. Just the right ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2005/12/08/new-books/ These guys are crazy! Hahahahaha! http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2005/12/08/what-the-heck/ Mabus (12/7/2005 1:13:46 AM): it reminded me of pirates of silicon valley…. when Bill Gates was trying to hit some chicks..what a loser mbaluyos (12/7/2005 1:14:26 AM): well.. now that he’s a zillionaire I doubt if he needs to even try… And yeah, if you’re looking for something “amusing” to read, ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2005/12/07/geeks-and-girls/ I’m thinking about putting my blog on a real hosting service. Any recommendations? Would also like to know if it’ll be better to have a “catch-all” blog or to have two or three blogs that are more focused on certain topics? In the latter case, I just might split the ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2005/12/05/im-looking-for-a-hosting-service/ Finally checked one item off my 43things - “fill up my piggy bank.” In case you’re wondering, the total amount inside was P1,981 (pretty amazing, I was born in 1980 - so it was just a peso more, I wonder what that could mean). I’ll be using that money to buy ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2005/12/05/filled-up-my-piggy-bank/ Something worth posting. This is from “The Rule of Four” by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. Jen had me borrow the book after I finished the ever-popular but hard-to-get-a-copy-of (at least for me) “The Da Vinci Code.” Still stuck on Chapter Two though - probably be reading this again during ... http://divisionbyzero.blogsome.com/2005/12/05/counting-the-stars/
