Free Program Creators
Posted in Software on Nov 12th, 2007
Years ago, creating programs takes a lot of time and effort. Even our simple 8-bit games take years to develop. Programmers would have to deal with thousands of codes just to get a simple program running. In order to do this, years of practice and actual work has to be put up before a programmer […]

The moment you read this, I can sense your eyebrows raised and exclaim “Huh?!”
Ha ha, I used to have this wacky theory that when Google Earth, and all the other in this suite like Google Maps, Google Moon and Google Universe came out, people no longer see the need to travel and spend money because […]
Programmers of the world, be prepared for multi-core processors
Posted in Software on Aug 10th, 2007
It came as a surprise to me when one of my programmer friends told me that chip makers are no longer outdoing each other to develop the fastest microprocessors with single ultra-fast calculating core. They have instead changed focus on multiple cores. And he said this development worries him to some degree.

Developing with Linux
Posted in Software on Jul 20th, 2007
For a time, Linux, which is a Unix-like operating system, was confined to the domains of the computer geeks and servers. In fact, the first Linux kernel was created by the geeky Finnish software engineer Linus Torvalds and development by the open source community around the planet kept springing up bringing hundreds of different “flavors” of […]
Java Universe
Posted in Software on Jul 9th, 2007
I have always been a big fan of Google Earth. Like I had been blogging in the past, I noted that that I am aspiring to be a space tourist when I can afford it but for now that I can even hardly afford to have vacation in another country, I am sticking to Google […]

Posted in Software on Jul 7th, 2007
I am a web developer. And to be specific, I have been using php and mysql for quite some time after I moved from Microsoft’s Active Server Pages (ASP) simply because php and mysql are free and of course very stable.

Millions with Malware
Posted in Internet, Security, Software, Learn on Jun 29th, 2007
I just read an article saying that according to a research by Google, approximately 10 percent of all webpages published on the internet contain malwares. The research sampled about 4.5 million pages and found that 450,000 of them have scripts and codes that contain spywares, viruses and Trojans.
Just last week while traveling with my boss, […]
Developing and managing a website is an extremely daunting task. Well, actually it depends on the kind of website. For static websites, which means web pages having contents never change at all, it can be easy. But static websites are already very out dated. Today’s websites are very dynamic with pages that gets updated every […]
My Firefox
Posted in Software on Jun 26th, 2007
I have been using Mozilla’s Firefox browser for many years because a developer friend recommended it to me. Before that, I was a purely Microsoft oriented guy, and I had been using Explorer solely for my browsing. Since using Firefox, I had been very content with the default installations. I liked the security options of […]
No, I do not mean computer languages like C, Visual Basic or Java, which of course can be easily learned with the hundreds of thousands of programs available on the internet. I am talking about learning a real language, a spoken language like French, Spanish of Chinese.
I used to work for a Japanese outsourcing company […]

Posted in Software on Jun 24th, 2007
I can still remember the time my computer had 32 MB of memory and 64 MB of hard disk storage space and I was happy. Later, I had 128 MB of RAM and 4 Gigagabytes of storage space and I was happy until another higher storage came.
