Desktop Fixed, Screen Resolution Fixed, Containers Fixed

Got my Computer Fixed. It cost me about Php4100, including tip and labor at PCexpress. I was planning on going to Villman to buy a new CPU and was prepared to spend Php16,000 but it looks like I dodged a bullet and won't have to spend that much for a Desktop until 2 more years.

for the record I got:

  • A new motherboard, MSI G4 IM-P28 G4 dd3/VIGL for Php2440
  • New ram, compatible with the new motherboard - 4G Kingston 1333 SODIMM ddr3 for Php1,200
  • Labor of Php500
  • Tip of Php100


When the guy opened up my CPU, the processor had its thermal paste rubbed off*. Those bastards who fixed my CPU around august or September screwed me over. Ill look for that receipt in my files and post it. I was too busy to test my computer, it would have failed within the warranty date if I wasn't so busy and fixed up my system later on. I freaking paid for re-application of thermal paste.

Today I installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 into my new desktop, because of my fear for the unity GUI's irreparable work on the 11.10 gnome desktop. I can't use my right click options, I don't know why. I got interested in 10.04.3 when I saw the ubuntu training material in the website referred to this version.

I was able to finally fix my screen resolution to fit my viewsonic va2226w 21.6" monitor (1680x1050). This is thanks to ubuntu geek xrandr and the original source . When i tried to see if I can do the same changes but this time with the nvidia driver, no luck. I really have to learn to compile a kernel and make my own driver (the way a friend helped me with one last time for a 64bit)

I also learned that the skillset or task I need to research more about is called Compiling a Kernel. This is helpful because in the future we are going to try to make everything our company uses linux compatible, particularly CentOS and Ubuntu. CentOS is the OS of many of the free tools

Airsoft chores.
I figured out how to transport my guns. Two 20"x20" balikbayan box joined together fit even my longest guns. unfortunately my mom's household finished all our packing tape, so I had to hold off on a very promising project.

Things I learned this week and last I posted (as many as I can recount):

  • Elastics is a way better PBX system that Trixbox,
  • I need to find time to learn and master bash scripts aka the Terminal.
  • More about what it takes to make an Ideal BPO IT and system.  (This reminds me I need to create a GAP analysis on monday).
  • More about networking, will get material about Huawei.
  • Getting better in reading between the lines in IT Resumes.  



*note to self, I didn't see if the guy put thermal paste. I assume it comes with the labor.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
