It’s like ages since the last “links” kinda post.. so here goes:
You can download and install Windows Vista (no, not betas or RCs, it’s the RTM - the real deal) today! Well, not technically today as it was RTM’ed like a week ago. The DVD ISO can be downloaded at leading torrent sites, or here. There’s some ways to crack it too.. BUT, before you take the dive, do check out the Vista experience index to have an idea how your PC will fair.
Turns out that there’s an alternative to Microsft SharePoint now. Called O3Spaces, it’s main target is OpenOffice.org and StarOffice apps. Of course it supports .doc files. Details at linux watch.

Linky time again.. hehe.. I didn’t expect Brozar to be such a fake. I can’t do a review on it since I can’t find any reason to try it in the first place. It’s just another IE shell, no, it’s even worse than one:
- New secure browser: Brozar is fake and full of adware
- Why is Apple so secretive?
- Google Revealed: the IT strategy that makes it work
- 21 tactis to improve blog traffic
- The Problem with Threads, doubt I’ll understand much of it.
- A little outdated: Risks and Rewards of AMD-ATI merger by John C Dvorak

- Pesonality traits of the best developers - title says it all, pretty good read.
- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - an online full-text of the 6.001 course at MIT. It’s a pre-requisite for Computer Science courses at MIT.
- Perils of JavaSchool - by Joel Spolsky. It’s a long artilce and many miss the gist of it.
Perils of JavaSchool
Here, Joel Spolsky whine about the current state of Computer Science graduates, who are only trained in Java and nothing else.. the point he’s trying to make is seen in the following excerpt: Read the rest of this entry »

C’mon, everyone knows how important reading is. It’s good to have reading habits. How I wish I could find the time to read a few pages from a lovely novel everyday. My bro’s right. In this day and time, everything’s so damn competitive. What differentiates me from the rest? Sigh.. hardly much..
My programming skills aren’t that great y’know.. though the sad fact is I’m already the top 10-20 (rough estimates, looking at my coursemates) in my course. Hey, I’m not trying to be cocky here, but facts are just facts. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons I get lazy at times..
College’s “requirements” doesn’t help much either. Check out my ASP.Net assignment 2, the base requirements are so basic. It’s like a barebones system in beta stage. The problem lies in the assesment criteria: Read the rest of this entry »
