We chose the name!

Guess what? Naral and I have chosen the name Laira for our baby girl. Thanks to everyone who voted on my poll. ^^ My girlfriend sends you her thank you’s and a hug too. We’ll keep you updated on the little girl whenever we can. But the due date is fast approaching, hehe. I can’t wait!

So yeah, I’ve been looking for an iPhone lately. I’d so love to own one, and since my Business teacher has one, that’d make me look even more important in my class. Maybe I’m silly to say this, but seriously, I’m craving for one! I looked at one of the Wholesale iPhones on membersupply.com and I’ve fallen in love with it: the iPhone 3G for 16GB! *_* Yeah, but it costs $499 and I can’t afford it for now. *sigh* This iPhones Wholesale is the best website I could find around, and I’m just a bit sad because it doesn’t allow trial accounts, and it is members only. But maybe someday I can get an iPhone Wholesale account, right? Yeah, I haven’t lost my hope. I’m too sure my Business teacher would love that. Ahah!

Okay folks, I hope to be able to update soon. Love you all!

It's shocking..

My brother Hound was shocked when he saw this, and honestly, I was too Have you ever even imagined that a Yamaha Rhino Rollover could actually cause serious injuries to people, and that a special injury case has been set up just for this kind of trouble?! Well, I was astonished when my bro and I found out about this. Look at this to see proof of what I’m saying

And the reason behind all this? The defective design of the vehicle xP It’s really shameful, as a car/rollover should be designed for a human being’s safety and not the contrary Hound knows this very well, as he’s a Jeep himself, and he immediately said that the Rhino wheels are way too thin to guarantee stability on offroad terrain. Plus, the top of the Rhino is too heavy compared to its rear part, which makes it unbalanced and thus unstable. The result? People getting serious limbs injuries and broken bones. It’s good that Yamaha has recalled most of its defective vehicles now, and I hope they’re going to fix these defects before putting these vehicles back on the market. I don’t like the fact that they blamed the drivers for the accidents, anyway :grr: I mean… some drivers may surely be too aggressive, but how come that injury cases were so consistent? Maybe everyone should take ethics more into consideration when it comes to these things.. (Sorry about the rant..)

Programming contest! :D

Hey buddies! Today I’m here to tell you about a great contest involving all students, developers and IT hobbyists, which can help you increase your knowledge and improve your skills: the IDUG contest.

This is a list of the contest features:

it is about XQuery, XML and DB2 languages

there are 5 tracks, each for a different skill level, but one individual may join all 5 of them if he/she has skills in all them

the contest will use English as primary language

there are prizes, but they are not money we’ll find out what they are.. hehe

Surely, it’s a contest that can help a lot in improving our curriculum, especially for us students who need to look good in front of job givers and bosses Heh. I know for sure that I know nothing about XQuery and DB2 at the moment, and I only learned a few elements of XML. Anyway, there are a lot of resources for learning at the contest site, and I’ll be browsing them in a while, after I’m done with eating breakfast

Even though I’m studying social communication and marketing at University, I’ve never given up my love for programming and computers. Might be because I’m a machine myself? Hehe. I’m sure that next time they do a contest like this, I’ll be able to take part in it. For now… good luck to all of you who will enter it, folks! Enjoy it XD
