Google Maps

By Benj Arriola • Jun 29th, 2005 • Category: Web

While working I saw Andy Waer’s desk an image of the earth and it was zooming in. Ah, some animation of a zoom in I thought… Then I noticed he was looking at streets in clear detail! Panning, rotating, zooming, wtf?
I sent him an ICQ right away and he gave me the URL, earth.google.com. What? [...]



Rest? Or No Rest?

The first half of 2005 was cool but busy. New hosting deals in the Philippines and US. Sponsoring the Philippines 1st Blogging Summit was worth it. I also have a new hosting client in Saudi Arabia and colleague John got a hosting deal for his uncle in Macau.
Welcome new web hosting clients: FilPGFamily, Lex Tandog, [...]



Miryenda

Just had some snacks.
Mama made this dip for plain generic tortilla strips.
Cilantro, onions, tomatoes and sweezed a lot of lemon.
Hmmmm… that was good. I do not have a tongue for sweet foods and this snack was just great for me. It had a strong taste with some sourness in it that tasted real good.

Recently Jamie did something she really should never do. She is just one brave kid doing crazy stuff and how I felt on what she has done made me also reflect on how my parents felt when I did tons on crazy stuff when I was young. It was a very hard kind of feeling [...]



Busy, Busy, Busy

Yes, when your busy, you can’t blog that much. Even if I thought of something nice to say in my blog, I just can’t blog right away since I’d be finishing something. And after sometime, you forget about what you wanted to write about.
Right now, I needed to run my other computer that I haven’t [...]



Treo Data Imported from Zire, Successful.

By Benj Arriola • Jun 20th, 2005 • Category: Computers & Gadgets

Well the way the problem was software was by simply using the Treo’s Palm Desktop, and synchronized with the Zire. Did a hard reset on the Treo and re-installed the Treo software and synschronized.
The problem just seemed to be a version incompatibility of the Palm Desktop softwares I was using.



Treo Import Unsuccessful

By Benj Arriola • Jun 19th, 2005 • Category: Computers & Gadgets

-Back up of Zire 72 data Successful.
-Installation of Treo Software Successful.
-Import of data to Treo, has errors.
Compatible Applications Transfered. But Calendar, Memo Pad and Contacts not transferred.
It says some data failed to transfer to SD Card.
My guess is…
On my Zire, I have a 64MB SD Card with some data on it. Maybe also the data [...]



Palm Treo 600 Switch

By Benj Arriola • Jun 19th, 2005 • Category: Computers & Gadgets

Yeah just received mine a few days ago. My first experience with Palm was with a Palm m100, then Palm IIIxe, then Palm Zire 72, and now a Palm Treo 600.
I jusr like the PalmOS compared to Windows CE on PocketPCs and SmartPhones. A lot just fits so much in PalmOS that sometimes will not [...]

Reason to build my Pentium PC that is in pieces.

By Benj Arriola • Jun 14th, 2005 • Category: Computers & Gadgets

I’m currently running an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ at home my Pentium 4 1.6GHz is out of commission right now. All into separate parts, but I think there is a good reason to put them all together again. I’ve been hearing about this so often, but I guess the video did the trick in making [...]



US Citizenship and Naturalization

By Benj Arriola • Jun 12th, 2005 • Category: Family, Life, Social

For many Filipinos, being in the United States is a great privilege. You cannot please everyone and there are also a few people not happy in the United States and opt to go back to the Philippines. But most like here mainly because of the financial benefits and what they can give to their family [...]
