End of the Semester

I haven't been posting much due to a truck load of test papers.

This semester was among the best semesters I had. The students are great, I couldn't ask for more.

To all my students, my sincerest thank you for bearing with my attitude and being kind enough to me.

I hope that all your dreams will come true. So reach for that impossible dream and make it a reality!

See you next semester on a different subject or just see you around the campus.

Surfing 101: privacy protection.

Rule of thumb:

a. do NOT access your email, facebook, forums on a public Internet connection. Internet cafe or Wi-Fi hot spots are prime targets for hacking. So beware.

b. If you received a message that a friend is asking this money for whatever reasons. Throw it away! A friend in need will personally knock at your door to seek your help.

c. Be aware whatever you post can be read by anyone.

d. Be kind to people.

First Week of A.Y. 1st Sem 2010

A lot changes were starting this semester in U.V. like

• Old Student  started attending their classes
• Classrooms are assigned by Department
• MW and TTh Schedules were retained (YES!!)

I look forward to seeing new faces and hopefully inspiring people.  So If you are a student of mine be prepared for an enjoyable semester.

Debate, brother at sister!

 

 Here are some of the Photos taken of my students in their debate.  For the videos, I will upload them in Facebook.  So kindly add my name but make sure to inform me that you are my student so I will not ignore your request.  

Thank you everyone, you made my day!

Pathetic 2010 elections

My beef with the election is not so much on the manner but on the procedure.

The BEI (Board of Election Inspectors) decided adding "priority numbers" to the process of election.  It resulted to frustration and long queues, most of my relatives decided to forgo voting as it is not worth the hassle.


Clearly the teachers didn't expect a massive turnout of voters.  At least I can say that I was part of history.

Joliclould pre-beta: review

If you happen to have a laptop, you would be hard pressed to look for a windows alternative OS.  Linux has over 1,000+ distro to choose from ubuntu, openSUSE, linux mint and more.  This review focuses on Jolicloud.

Created by Tariq Krim, which focuses on making a laptop centered linux distro.  Can it compete with Ubuntu Netbook? Easy peasy? read on. 

Test machine: Asus EEEpc 1005ha. 

Most linux distro lack support for various hardwares.  Along comes Jolicloud, at first glance it looks like a ubuntu rip-off, as its based on ubuntu, but it strives to make an OS that is user friendly to those who have never tried linux/ubuntu.  it has the following features:

• customized for laptops (with over/under clocking options to adjust power consumption)
• "one click install" for its many app available for free
• supports 100% of the laptops in the market today. 
• after a software update it supports almost 100% of the 3G usb modems sold by smart / globe telcom in the Philippines.  

THE GOOD STUFF:
If you never used linux J-cloud is the best distro for you.  It has the simple click and install for that windows feel.  There are many apps available like adobe air, vlc for video, mp3, and possible iphone in the final release.

Making a bootable usb thumb drive is easy in windows.  For Linux users, UNetbootin works very well with jolicloud.

You can install it within Windows (Ubuntu users are snickering as this feature is very common to their releases).  Install takes only 15min as opposed to the movie like install time of Windows.

All devices work out of the box!  Internal mic works great, camera is fantastic though the volume has to be adjusted manually for the hard of hearing (like me).

Like most Linux, this one is FREE.  So between a free OS and a commercial OS, you'd go for the free one right? Windows license does not come cheap today.

COMPLAINTS:

• If you are a linux user, as of now you can download the ISO file via torrent only.  Window users have it easier.
• Office apps are not built-in as you have to install them one at a time, imagine installing writer, calc and impress.  Although linux master can always use the sudo apt-get command.

As you can see the benefit out weight the negative aspects.

If you are a I.T. student/enthusiast/professional, give j-cloud a try by installing it on top of windows or beside it.  Ubuntu users might have to adjust with the absence of the package/software manager.

Give it a try, and share the free knowledge to all.

Is Wikipedia good as a research source?

Most researchers and teachers (I am guilty of this one to an extent) would cite wikipedia as a holy grail of knowledge but one fact still remains:  anyone can edit entries in wikipedia.  The first entry I edited was a minor edit on the Ubuntu OS page of wikipedia, adding Lubuntu and its description. I am not saying that what I added was erroneous but we must not ignore the fact that it can be edited by anyone. 

There are many entries in wikipedia.org that are unbalanced.  Here's a good example from  penny-arcade.com click here to view the example.

Another one? 
Search for Eli Soriano on wikipedia and you will see the constant changes to its entries by the supporters of Soriano and his 'enemies' in Inglesia In Cristo and other religious sects.

Wikipedia must be starting point of any research but it must not end there.  Remember Validity and Reliability are the important factors to a research.  If people would say they pick that data from wikipedia, that's as good as saying they got the information from a reliable rumor mill. 

Always re-check with other encyclopedia based sites.  Do not trust everything that you read in the internet.

How to Unlock Smartbro (huawei)

NOTE: If you are in Cebu, as of March 18, 2010 Smartbro e1552 White models can be purchased at MSI / Accent Micro North Wing SM City Cebu.

If you happen to own a laptop and need internet access on the fly, I suggest you buy Smartbro E1552 model.  Its the only smartbro that can easily be unlocked/open lined.

Once open lined you can use any SIM card to access the net (Globe/Sun/Red).

google for "symbianize version of Huawei unlocker", download the software,

Enter the IMEI number for your 3G Dongle.  Write down the NCK code (8digits).

Remove the usb modem, and the Smartbro Sim; install any sim other than Smart (i.e. Globe / Sun).  Run the smartbro software and it will now ask for the unlock code.  Type the NCK code and press OK.  Go to settings and make a new profile with the following settings
Network Settings under the Smart Connection Manager

Go to TOOLS, Options, Profile Management, New

Sarang habid da booooo!

UV Free Wi-Fi?

Among the greatest mysteries in the U.V. is the presence of the UV Free Wi-Fi signal, if you happen to bring a wi-fi enabled laptop at U.V. Main Campus you will find a UV "free" Wi-Fi Signal but you can never connect.

I can only wonder if its some sick practical joke by a BSIT student, where his laptop acts as a Wi-Fi Hot spot and uses the UV FREE Wi-Fi name.  I can only hope and pray that UV can offer a free Wi-Fi service otherwise its all globe tatto / smartbro for me.

Sexually Transmitted Infection

Download here

As promised to my students for Society Culture with Family Planning, is the ppt (power point) version of my slide made open office

By the way, I am giving away free copies of Linux Mint 8 OS (but a new version is coming out in May).  Just approach me to request for a free copy of the 'best linux distro'... at least for me as I have tested Ubuntu, Puppy Linux and Slax.

Smartbro(ken) is now Smartbro(RYU)

I was stupid enough to try to "flash" my Smartbro ZTE MF627.  It 'bricked' my dongle so to speak.  I tried going to Smart Wireless at SM, which in turned refered me to Airtouch where I left my smartbro overnight with them.

The next day they told me they can't fix it and was that I can get a replacement form smart, who in turn told me that there are no stocks for smartbro usb. 

I used Windows7 (pirated), installed the ZTE drivers,I searched the net for QPST and installed the default smartbro iso on it and some tweaks to make it the usb run automatically.  I changed back to Win XP (pirated) to test if it will work on a fresh install and it did work.. 

Imagine the so called 'experts' at Air Touch say that it requires a high level of expertise to fix this.

thanks to the power of the internet, everything is just chicken feed.
