Today is our last day of stay in Astoria Park singapore. We will surely miss this place because its nere Kembangan MRT. But hopefully next year when rental in Singapore goes down we will be back.

At last, my new domain myiphone5.net propagated. I did not know that i have to use free NS of web.com.ph. Thanks to the online tools provided by network-tools.com.

I never liked games since Final Fantasy era in Sony Playstation, but i admit, im hooked on NY Zombies for Iphone. You will earn money for every people that you saved and by killing zombies. Money is needed in upgrading bombs and guns. Blasting zombies head will never the same again. NY Zombies is available in Itunes and its FREE!!!!

Hello world Kurdt Cristof Lirio Perez

been busy for the past days.. my wife almost due with her pregnancy... my long overdue second Solaris exam that i need to complete before Oracle release Solaris 11 :) on that note i created my own Wiki page. Its a work in progress and will update any technical stuffs that i do at work and anything that i come with my self-paced study. You can check the wiki at Penoycentral Wiki Page

Apple launched Iphone 4 in Singapore today. Early queue was seen as early as 6pm yesterday. Starhub Tampines was already out-of-stock before the day ends. It shows how strong the marketing strategy of Steve Jobs despite complains over the phone.

This is not unboxing post anyway since this is an overdue entry on my blog. Quite busy with work eh. Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, my 4month-old smartphone. The flagship of Sony in the Android-phone arena. At first im kinda angry with this phone because the battery life would not last for 24 hours of normal usage with no mp3's sound trip and movie. But since SE released the updated firmware version R2BA020, battery-life goes with 3 days of normal usage. Not bad for a smartphone if you ask me. Can't wait for the next update due Q4 of this year.


Package includes free pouch, phone, and headphone

How i miss Bazooka Joe. Kung ikaw ay kabataan ng 80's at early 90's, malamang kilala mo si Bazooka Joe. Ito yung bubble gum na may free comics ng mga misadventures ni Bazooka and the gang. Nangungulekta ako nito, pero sa kadahilanang nakabalot sa bubble gum ang comics, madalas itong pagpyestahan ng mga langgam sa aking taguan.

May bago ng henerasyon ng Bazooka, pero wala pa akong nakikita dito sa Singapore o kaya sa Pinas na nagtitinda nito.. Sana maging available na ulit ito sa suking tindahan natin para maipakita ko ito sa magiging anak ko at para maikuwento ko na kay Bazooka ako natutong magblow.... ng bubble....

Seems that the local test will post the speed that i paid for. But across the world test shows that i only have 3Mbps of speed.

Bakit kaya pumapalpak ang SMARTMATIC PCOS machines pagdating sa barangay tally. There's no room for erros lalo na sa time na ito na kung saan, ilang araw na lang ay eleksyon na. Programmer at technical nightmares pag nagkataon.  In a worst case scenario, baka mag-manual count pagdating sa barangay pero na-defeat ang purpose ng kaunaunahang Philippine election automation. Nagbayad pa naman limpak na salapi na kinuha sa ating mga buwis.

Im not against with automation, since nasa IT field ako. but with thorough planning at testing sana. Hindi yung ganitong bara-bara. Reactive sila sa mga technical problems with poor alibi. Basa ang papel, umurong ang papel, dahil ng moist, eh kasi manipis ang papel. Hindi na ako magtataka na pati ang alignment ng buwan at araw ay gawin na ding alibi :)
