Thoughts at the End Of 2010
Looking Back...
It's interesting that this year has been quite interesting for me. 2010 will forever go down in my memory as That Year. Some of it has been good, some bad - however, I am tremendously grateful for everything, one way or another, as they have all contributed to my tuition in the School Of Life.
Where do I begin? I guess I should ( Read more... ) -
Sporadic Update #42
(And Yes, I am Still Alive).
Notably, I've grown a year older, I'm still working at one of the best companies to work for, in the Philippines, in my opinion, and I'm still taking pictures. Mostly ( Read more... ) -
Still Alive

I only wanted a simple list of open windows on a particular desktop and a clock, and I didn't need too ( Read more... ) -
Emacs as a Java IDE
(Note: Geek post ahead. You have been warned.)
Admittedly, I'm an Emacs power user (and no, I am not as hardcore as some people). Emacs has been my primary text editor for the longest time- the first time I picked up Emacs was way back in 2004, a little over four years ago, when I decided to just sit down and learn the little bugger. Now, I do a ( Read more... ) -
