I have a 2013 Nexus 7 and it’s still not good enough
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

Beginner front-end resources for HTML5 mobile/web apps
—
in WorkI’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).

From one custom android rom to the next
—
in TinkerI 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

in ReadI 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

From an iPad to an Android tablet
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

un-fixing the position of the navbar in mobile view on Bootstrap with CSS and jQuery
—
in WorkThe floating navbar on responsive/mobile Bootstrap templates has a fixed position. But when the menu becomes longer, I needed to make it ‘relative’ in position so that the person can scroll down the items to see the other links. jQuery function mobile_header() { /* on mobile, opening the menu scrolls to top and removed the

shame at feeling bourgeois

in TravelI was supposed to go to a client meeting today, and the building was somewhere around Chino Roces Avenue. With the usual Makati traffic, it took me an hour and a half to get there from Eastwood. It was the first time I’ve ever gone to Chino Roces, and I had to get dropped off

no longer the first day of september
—
in WorkIt’s sort-of the start of September, and I may have not done everything I said I wanted to do back in July, but this week has been a week of learning new things, so time hasn’t been completely wasted. I managed to try out and install Jekyll, and I’m still evaluating how convenient it is
