Had really bad chills last night. I had also the weird dreams that comes with the fever. I was dreaming about SugarCRM and troubleshooting IT problems again. The dream emphasized the overwhelming gap of knowledge between me and the technology I'm facing at work. It seems my subconscious is panicking and I'm not even aware of it. I guess thats a good thing, it shows the level of control I've achieved. There are concepts of the dream that felt very real, especially the facts about the program being thrown back and forth in my head. Its about the sub-systems like the apache2, php, and the mysql database. It felt real, but its just gibberish in reality. I had a massive head-ache when I woke up.

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...

Unhealthy and run ragged So I've been working 3pm to 3am. I really get in and come from work at these times. Its doing a number on me and I really do feel at the end of my rope. Health wise I've experienced fevers, flus and chills since June for every month. Because of that I've finished all of my leaves (1 vacation and 1 sick) every month since. This month, is so crucial that it was fortunate my fever, chill and boil came exactly Friday night. So I've not taken a sick leave yet, but I feel like I really need the chance to rest. I would normally fluctuate between 174 and 172lbs, now I'm at 175 and 177. Already bursting at my size M clothes or 34" pants. They don't feel comfortable, and I find myself between getting bigger clothes or wanting to lose weight. My fighting form needs me to be medium, so I really can't let myself go without wasting all my cammo and clothes. There area lot of things to self study. Unfortunately Ubuntu 11.10 is one of them beca...

will finish up some more.  Just came from Tagaytay and I got to thinking about a daydream scenario of a Vacation Business. Particularly a themed vacation spot. For the sake of the exercise, 65 ha farmland is worth Php60 or Php39M. Assume you make a down payment of 10% and payments for 10 years (automatically adjusted for inflation), thats php 350,000 per month. Again lets use the Sulit.com for the approximate cost of Horses in the Philippines cost Php 45,000. Foals cost at about Php 15,000 (I know this from my notes after talking to a Baguio horse keeper). Lets make the assumption that 2/3 of the land will be used on for pasture, hiking and "adventures". that means the area can support the population of up to 51 horses. Assume that at any one time there will be only as many as 20 vacationers who would want the cavalry man experience. Buildings and Structures Administration Building 500sqm 2floor building completely furnished. admiin area looks lik...

[Game Theory] Volunteers Dilemmas and Global financial Crisis in Prisoners Dilemma, Axelrod discovered that played multiple times unlike a one time game, that people tend to cooperate in a prisoners dilemma, hence cartels in polygopolies. the less heard about Volunteers dilemma, is very similar to Prisoners Dillemma. In Prisoner's Dilemma a cooperating group getting a better payout for everyone relative to the mutual self destruction of self interest. Volunteers Dilemma is just the same, everyone is better off pitching in, self interest tells everyone to "free-ride" that someone else will pitch in the tiny effort to help everyone. They say the bigger the group the larger the chance of no one paying that relatively small cost to make everyone better. In volunteers dilemma fairness kicks the balls of self-sacrifice. Why sacrifice when this would make people "free-riders" or more appropriately parasites. You can find the game theory formula of Volunteers dilemma i...

Goal - By 2013, I am cable of building a call center from the ground up (as Open Source as Possible!). By ground up, I mean understanding all the parts that allows one to build an office from a " warm shell ". Then the IT infra structure: Email server, database, Domain Control, Financial Systems, HR systems, IT systems, Inventory Tracking System, Filing/Documentation Systems, Security, Desktop Systems, Phone, DID, PBX, Enterprise Wiki, Website, and of course the money-maker: the call manager. Then start and run a campaign: personally learning to use the program and its key functions and how to program a campaign, then how to run a campaign and collect and document all industry "doctrine". To document everything and create all the data sheets and templates needed for this. To make myself able to replicate a call center again and again from start to finish, assuming with a team. To systematically record, update and test for best practice. To do all these self impro...

I hate complications at work, who doesn't? Anyway, I'm still sick right now. My fever relapsed yesterday, but I'm better now. I think I would have gotten better sooner if I remembered to take the decongestant I had in my medical bag. I don't have sniffles, I do have a less phlegm today than yesterday. My cough is not that painful, unlike yesterday, I can't say the same for my wife. still I have cough, some phlegm, and eat up a lot of tissue in the course of a couple of hours. overall, I'm sick and with my reduced performance I am also tired. Tired, I'm not that sharp or quick with ideas and seeing solutions. Although, when I'm sick I have freaky dreams about the stuff that bugg me. The fact that a Vendor who is supposed to be Cloud Services, through the internet, is selling us the infrastructure for the International Leased Line, which will not improve their product costs. Its like someone selling you the Public Vehicle Subscription (Cloud se...
