it was too hot in the house — 37 degrees centigrade on the mercury and 39 on the digital clock. nifty little thing. and since ironman hit the big screens yesterday i invited my wife and son to watch it. it was a good excuse to go to the mall and pay my overdue phone [...]

earworm — music or song that repeats and repeats in my head. it stays until it gets replaced by another. i don’t get to decide which song or music my head chooses to play. it just comes. it usually lasts anywhere from a few days to several weeks.

the weekend has so far been very nice. it hasn’t been hot because there’s a thick blanket of clouds overheard. it has been a bit breezy, cool and dry — a perfect day to go out and take a stroll or bike or just vege out.
but its robin’s long exams this coming monday and tuesday [...]

today i got an e-mail from someone-that-cannot-be-named in huge (about 2cm high) bold letters, “please stop sending me notices“. or something to that effect.

biases notwithstanding, my gut tells me a merger between the two is a bad idea. for both companies.
my take:
44 billion is a huge amount. microsoft may be desperate. competition or not, if this bid will go through it will stress microsoft out. maybe a year before real results become visible. changing logos on websites doesn’t [...]

january 2008 is ending and i think its been a good month. granted that there has been glitches here and there and i’m late on some of my workload (with good reason) but no one under my care has been hacked and work-related stuff are moving forward although at a slower pace than i [...]

i’ve always thought that doing two (or three) things at the same time is cool. my mother on the other hand always told me not to. “it’s not good”, she would say. i would also receive the same advice from my father.
well, it appears that they’re right. i found this article (via /.) by walter [...]
