Don’t worry about the title, nothing drastic. I’m still alive, sorry for the inactivity. Unless you want me to bore you on how my life is right now. No, you don’t want?! Fine!

What have I been doing while I was away, might be your question? Well, nothing much, brainstorming, trying to keep my blog clean and so on. you know, the usual. I might even post some reviews of random things just to kill this boredom!

Anyway, I’ll be around writing some ’spiffy’ posts

Be panicked, very!

What do I really do in my free time? Well it’s not like I’m some kind of nerd learning programming languages; I do have a life after all. Python is impressing me in so many ways that it’s hard not to get sucked in.

It’s probably the first time I’ve looked at other programming language, I’m not really a programmer, and I’m personally getting tired of PHP. Sad fact is that I’m working on a blog software written in PHP called Applemint, but I’m thinking of moving it to Django once I learn Python. I guess I need to finish the PHP version first before moving on, leaving things unfinished is bad after all.

Now to stick with the title, after snooping around I found a fountain of information about PyGTK, PyGlet and so on. Building a GUI, how to make applications and so on. Yea, you probably know what I mean.

Well , whatddaya know? I’m sick!

This throat infection is killing me, and the common cold is trying to get me. Oh well, oh well, today I will tell you how to look-up things faster, and no, it’s not google.

For this, you will need:

1) A browser that has tabs, if you can help it use IE7 because if you want to do a wide search(tabspree), FF is going to eat your poor ram.
2) Patience, music and lots of caffeine

So, how can you make your life easier if you want to learn X or Y thing, easy, just *beep* digg, reddit, del.li.cious it!

Why’s that? they are just sites that receives news, right? But that’s the good thing because it’s not limited, digg has a lot of CSS articles and that have been digg up or buried, reddit is the same, and in del.li.cious you can look-up the tags you are interested.

Designing? Programming? Drawing? Piano Lessons? How to be a monkey for dummies?

You can search these kind of stuffs, and not limited just to those I named above.

Oh and instead of extending my links in the sidebar, I will share them through del.iciou.us

What a boring day! I’ve been nothing but working on IceBB new skin and listening to music. Right, boring indeed! Well, at least I had the time to work a little on my project Applemint which I’ll be talking in the future when I finish the administration panel.

Oh don’t take me seriously :P, this was just for fun to kill time.

I really wanted to make it look like there’s more than an “island” but working on these kind of things takes a lot of effort and patience, and more for me when I have no absolute skills in this kind of graphics. Oh well, hope you like it

Wherever I go, there’s a linux user; Wherever I go there’s a feeling inside me, asking me to come back to linux.

It’s been a long time since I last logged into my Ubuntu partition. Oh, how much it amazes me the speed of the forum grow and the volunteers that posts daily. Before Feisty and Gutsy, my computer runs Edgy. Although, to tell the truth what really shocks me is the grow of game developers. I’d expect someone will soon make a game that matches popular games, like Ragnarok Online, Unreal Tournament, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Halo and so on.

And for the new users, don’t look everything that linux achieves as “complex”. It takes effort to gives you people simple applications to daily use. Just learn and you’ll see how convenient it can be. After all, free has a price, but it’s not money! Its learning, knowledge, wisdom or whatever you want to call it !

Inner Thoughts: Well, if you are a gamer you are doomed to wait for a few years for either game developers to get experience or Wine developers to make your games run in linux. *Pats*
