for sure

i'll be transferring to FEU-fern this coming schoolyear to take computer science. all i have to do is make a letter regarding my honorable dismissal, have it signed by my parents, dept chair and my adviser then pass it to the college secretary. if it gets approved, i'm off to accomplish my clearance.

now i'm thinking if getting approved is hard, just like how i earned my approval for transfer. oh God, please. -_-;;

problem is, my adviser won't be back to the dept till the 25th. oh well, i've got alternatives, hope they work. dmn.

Creative Zen 8 gigs (review)

Full Specifications: click here
- capacity: 8 gigabytes
- size: roughly the size of a credit card. 2.5in screen with 16.7 TFT color support
- weight: 65g. that's super light!
- supports mp3, wma, non-protected .aac (m4a)
- plays video (needs conversion though)
- voice recorder
- FM radio
- alarm clock: no built in speakers so you either have to put your earphones on or attach it to a speaker
- multi-tasking: you can view your photos while listening to music! :)
- very good battery life: when fully charged can play for more than 24hours of audio non stop!
- expandable memory: has a SD card slot!

PROS:
light. compact. handy. supports major music and picture formats. good sound quality. expandable memory. cheap

CONS:
plastic casing (very prone to scratches/hairlines). video needs conversion (available in cd installer). not much options for integrating external data to built in memory.

overall i would recommend this player to people who need functionality at budget price. price here in the philippines would not go higher than 10k (though i bought mine for 11k since it's a new model then). i've been using mine for more than a year now and it hasn't failed me since then. :)

OVERALL RATING: 9 out of 10

LJ serious - modified version (#2)

the better version with more features like the RSS feed link, Google Ads and Label Cloud (w/c doesn't work with IE).

also, i've fixed this version such that it will look pleasing on all browsers (IE included at last)

tested in Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Opera 9.24 and Internet Explorer 7

subscribe?

though there's nothing quite substantial in here yet, in case you want to be updated with this sad-excuse-for-a-serious-blog, either you follow me through blogger (it's an option somewhere in your dashboard) or SUBSCRIBE TO RSS. see RSS link above (with the feed icon).

just to let you know, i spent an hour trying to overlap that RSS image link with the header image because they are two independent widgets. what a pain in the neck, seriously. it's not like it's that easy! hah, you try.

TH

watermarks are only for celebrities, photographers and stock-quality photos.

i don't mean to ridicule/offend/discriminate but i find it funny that ordinary people would watermark their photos as if they're steal-worthy. as if.

first of all, it's a big waste of time photoshopping each of the photos.

and worst of all, by the end the day it'll be disappointing to know that no one actually stole it.

save the stamps when you're already hitting it big time.


K?
