Recently, my MacBook Pro’s video card failed and I was really disappointed with it. It came at a time wherein I most needed my MBP to work on some very important tasks. Moreover, my unit  is already out of warranty. When I Googled around to hopefully find a solution without bringing it to the Apple Service Center, I stumbled upon an advisory from Apple’s Support Site which stated that Nvidia admits a defect with their graphic processor on MacBook Pro, models with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors manufactured between May 2007 and September 2008. I was also happy to know that there’s a chance that my MBP would be fixed for free. (more…)

Just to be fair with BayanTel SkyDSL, I believe that I should also blog good things about them as it happens. I recently posted a blot about my woes on their DSL’s intermittent disconnects which most of the time makes their service unusable especially during rainy days. But for several months now, I must say that things had greatly improved with their DSL service, at least in our area.

For some reasons, I don’t experience intermittent disconnections anymore and the speed is pretty stable. With this improvements, I would like to thank and congratulate BayanTel SkyDSL for doing a great job fixing my internet connection.

Finally, Aphilo agreed to replace our old (but still working) Asus A3N Notebook for a brand new Macbook. I had been discussing this with her for quite some time now especially when I see her editing some of her product or personal photos and see her frustrations most of the time when her laptop starts to crawl. Things were really getting slow for her an even though she always mentions that its just ok and she can live with it, I know that she would be much happier if she can get hold of a faster machine for her photography work. Well, I just told her that if you really want to get serious with photography then you must have a machine were you can truly view and appreciate the quality of your digital phot0 and somehow give you the right tools for minor enchancements whenever its needed. Moreover, an important occassion is coming soon and I told her that this is the best gift I can think of for her.

It’s been a while since I had a true vacation or let’s say a getaway from my work. But just last week, I finally got the chance to take a break from work and go out of town with my family. Since it’s summer, we decided to go to a private resort just outside the city.

The resort was really cool. The pool is big enough, there’s a small outdoor jacuzzi, and most of all the rooms are cozy it’s comparable to a 4-star hotel. There was also a multi-purpose hall where the kitchen is and the videoke machine as well. Regarding the price, I think it’s reasonable enough. It might be a bit pricey, but it was well worth it. Just seeing the whole family enjoy our 2 days, 1 night stay at the resort was priceless.

The short vacation, really helped me a lot to somehow unwind ang re-energize myself with work and may day-to-day activities.

Just a few weeks ago, I started considering again to purchase an iPhone 3G since I was able to get my hands on friends unit and found the interface being so cool. Besides, adding iPhone development to my credentials might be useful cool and learning more on Objective-C application development would be quite fun when you are able to test to an actual unit. Then again, something held up my decision and this is the inability of the iPhone to natively support 3G or Wi-Fi network tethering or in layman’s term using it as a bluetooth or USB modem for your laptop when on the go.
