home screen with cocoppa
I used to have a couple of those cute Korean planner notebooks that seemed like a collage and had cutesy characters all over. They were usually in soft pastels. In high school (or was it grade school?), my humble splurge was on cute stationaries that they sold in the book shop inside our school. To […]
Unicef Donation page screenshot
While I was looking for an organization to donate to, so I could help in some way families who have been devastated by the typhoon. There was one site that stood out from those that I’ve looked at (which aren’t many, to be honest): Unicef (PH)’s donate page. Most sites that would ask for money […]
For work, I had to help test a cordova iOS app and port it for Android. For some reason, the usual deviceready code wasn’t working: if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPhone|iPod|iPad|Android|BlackBerry)/)) { // is on PhoneGap $(function() { document.addEventListener("deviceready", deviceIsReady, false); }); } else { // not on PhoneGap } Instead, this worked: if ( window.device ) { document.addEventListener("deviceready", […]
Ultralinx published a very good review of the 2013 Nexus 7. And I agree with them: great specs for the price, even if it is around $60 more expensive in the Philippines compared to buying from the US (roughly around $330 compared to $270). But Oliur Rahman echoed exactly the reason why the 2013 Nexus 7 […]
I’ve been doing front-end code for a Cordova/PhoneGap app. Despite the whole debate on Native vs. HTML5/hybrid, there are just some projects wherein I have no say when it comes to the client’s preferred language to use (I agree that 100% Native code is better, but like I said, the decision isn’t mine to make). […]
customized the firmware update to get 2GB internal storage, 512MB cache
I didn’t really wait for a week before updating the firmware and changing roms for the Ainol Novo Venus 7 / Cherry Mobile Bolt. I’ve been doing it a lot during the week: rebooting, installing, testing, and it’s left me quite tired and frustrated in a lot of ways. That’s one of the drawbacks of […]
“Wake up every day like you mean it, sacrifice inconvenience for kindness; surround yourself with good people. Cry when you must, look for inspiration where you must. Never fall into any extreme; be truthful, be loyal, be a person of class no matter your status. Love more than you think is possible; forgive always. Be […]
I blame Carina for making me curious about Fangirl, so I got an ebook version and ate it all up yesterday — gobbled it up like I’ve been starved of a nice, romantic story for a while. Spoilers ahead, since I want to reflect more on my feelings towards the story instead of an actual […]
It was pay-day last week (MONEY!!!!!) so I bought myself a mid-to-low range tablet (not that much money!!!): a Cherry Mobile Bolt (rebranded from Ainol Novo 7). I was thinking if I should get the 2nd generation Nexus 7, but I’m actually waiting for the new iPad Mini to be my main tablet so I […]
