    things are catching up

    I’ve been holding out and/or waiting for projects since I quit working full-time for Save22 in July (I also no longer work freelance for them due to an onslaught of work), and finally everything caught up with me. 1. I found part-time work (still daily) at Eastwood, where I’m learning to make Phonegap stuff for…

  • Intro on Task-oriented Information Architecture

    Intro on Task-oriented Information Architecture

    I’ve been looking for some online articles to read up on task-oriented IA for a project, and haven’t found many. The first blog post I saw, and that have been linked by others, was Michael Andrew’s short introspective entry about it. Here he says: When experimenting with task-oriented IA, here are some issues to keep…

  • One day with a Nokia 520

    One day with a Nokia 520

    JJ saw me using my phone and said, “Do you have the same phone as C?” YES. YES I DO NOW. Because I mentioned it to my mom, and told her how my iPhone 4S is broken (and the people said they can’t fix the wifi), and that this Lumia 520 is only P7k. So…

  • A List of Windows Phone Apps I Could Use

    A List of Windows Phone Apps I Could Use

    Ever since C bought his Lumia 520, I’ve been justifying to myself why I wouldn’t mind switching to a W8 Phone. It’s like selling an idea to yourself, hahahaha. So I helped him (or myself) find a list of pretty Windows 8 apps that could be useful and/or fun to have:  First the official apps…

  • Lumia 520

    Lumia 520

    I want to get a Windows 8 Phone. I really do. C just bought the cheap Lumia 520 (it cost 7k in Greenhills) and it’s really cute (the plastic looks better than Samsung’s stupid silver borders on the S4). I used the phone for a bit and decided that like the Windows UI more than Android’s…

  • Chinese class, last day

    Chinese class, last day

    Today is my last day of Chinese 1 class at the Ateneo Confucius school. Even if my team epically failed the final activity this afternoon, it was still fun. I think I’ve learned a lot: I just need to practice more. I’m not so sure yet if I’m going to enrol in Chinese 2 in…

  • Tooltips and Popovers not working on Bootstrap

    Tooltips and Popovers not working on Bootstrap

    For a while I couldn’t make Bootstrap tooltips and popovers work. I had all the necessary js and css files, with the right js code. Been googling the issue and found this ticket: Tooltips custom selectors does not seem to work. I’m not using custom selectors, but for some reason I just couldn’t make the…

  • All I really wanted to do was to build stuff

    So I was cleaning up one of my domains today and decided to check out one of my old projects: ZAGGER. It’s a CMS I made for my friends’ original table-top game. I was really proud of it when I started coding it in 2011, since it was my own way of learning some PHP+mySQL…

  • Manila sidewalks

    Manila sidewalks

    Walking from my office to C’s — sidewalks are narrow and everything is not very pedestrian-friendly. But like Ron says, you get used to the concrete, the smells, the puddles, the urban decay. First is the odd smell of the creek. There is a tiny karenderia right beside the creek (is it a creek, really? There’s…
