Been writing elsewhere…

July 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, well, the short answer is I’ve been writing at Filipinovoices.com:
Reciprocity
My wife, a travel agent, got fuming mad at a “friend” last weekend. Her “friend” inquired regarding passport renewal application with a caveat: “friend’s” birth certificate has some problems, preventing her from obtaining one from the NSO. My wife [...]

I went to the Coke event with a tripod, not a digicam

June 29th, 2008 · 13 Comments

I had fun at last Friday’s Buhay Coke ng Blogger’s event at Taste Asia in SM Mall of Asia. It was too bad that I wasn’t able to bring a digicam to the event.
Ironically, I was lugging a tripod I had bought earlier that night.
I had fun hanging out with Tess, her friend Aiyleen, and [...]

At ang pinakasikat na akda sa blog na ito ay…

June 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Tadaaan!…
Alin, alin, alin ang naiba? Ang pagkakaiba ng Tagalog at Filipino
Ayon sa Google, matagumpay ang naturang akda sapagkat kabilang ito sa unang limang resulta ng search na “pagkakaiba ng tagalog sa filipino” o “pagkakaiba ng tagalog at filipino”. Samakatuwid, kinagigiliwan ng mga estudyanteng nabigyan ng naturang asaynment ang aking blog.

Sidney Snoeck of My Sari Sari Store is signing off

May 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Sidney Snoeck, author of my favorite photo blog, My Sari Sari Store, announced that he is signing off due to some unexpected personal circumstances.
I have been viewing My Sari Sari Store regularly for the past three years and to say that his photos inspired me is but an understatement. His style is a major influence [...]

A portrait of a software developer as hero

May 1st, 2008 · 3 Comments

Cross-posted from .NET @ Kape ni LaTtEX
When Microsoft came up with its Heroes Happen {Here} campaign as part of Launch {2008}, I found the campaign name cheesy. “Hero” is something you reserve for people who do truly great things, and hardly fits into the portrait of a software developer — someone like me. A flawed [...]

Unsolicited advice for improving Cebu Pacific’s Sky Sales system

April 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Cross posted from .NET @ Kape ni LaTtEX
One of the main points of criticism against my rather controversial, death-threat worthy posts regarding Cebu Pacific’s dismal service and the involvement of software development company Navitaire was that they found my posts too negativist and tried to bully me into suggested that I criticize more constructively.
In that [...]

I’ve just received a death threat from a Navitaire employee

April 24th, 2008 · 25 Comments

I’ve just received a death threat from a guy allegedly named Stevenson Salvador:

Highlighted text roughly translates to “stop this if you want to stay alive where you’re going”
From above, his email address is stevenson.salvador@linksys.com. His IP address is 66.114.104.164
UPDATE 1: I find it rather sad that the IP address above resolves to a Navitaire DNS [...]

Cebu Pacific’s failure isn’t in the software, it’s on the phone

April 22nd, 2008 · 20 Comments

In the ensuing comments in my previous post, Cebu Pacific’s monumental failure: A new online reservation system, several people questioned why I appeared to be singling out Navitaire and its online reservation system SkySales in the current Cebu Pacific brouhaha.
I gave thought to this after reading Aileen’s post on how she lost money because of [...]

Cebu Pacific’s monumental failure: A new online reservation system

April 20th, 2008 · 54 Comments

UPDATE: Due to the shortcomings of this initial post, I wrote a follow-up post entitled Cebu Pacific’s failure isn’t in the software, it’s on the phone.
Melynn, who operates I-NAV Travel & Tours, got pissed yesterday. She arrived at the Cebu Pacific ticketing office at 10 in the morning. By the time she was done, it [...]

Dreaming of a Green Car

April 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’ve never had my own car.
Whenever I need a ride I’ve always borrowed my father’s 15 year old diesel pick-up truck, and as one can imagine, using it is an atrocity to the environment. Even with constant tuning and overhauls, it still spews out too much smoke in its low gears, and registers a poor [...]
