Before I proceed with the main objective of this blog post, I just want to say that being sick just plain sucks. I've been dieting (seriously) for the past week now and have been on track with my workout routine, and suddenly, this bug hits me. It's hard because I'm being forced to skip out on another workout (two days in a row) which I didn't want. I'll probably do another post regarding my workout in detail separately but I just want to express how I feel about being consistent and all. Anyways, read more if you want to find out how I recovered/transferred my music from the iPod to my PC. Read More...

I installed Windows 7 Beta last week but finally have decided tonight that I need to uninstall it for various reasons. It's not because I dislike it but I was forced to after running into issues. It first started when I installed a virtual drive and I'm almost certain that it was the cause of the issue. The responsiveness of the Operating System just went down fast and everything was slow from that point on. Since my install was an upgrade (from Vista to Windows 7 Beta), the upgrade itself since it's only in beta might have been a bad idea. I strongly recommend the beta testers to do a dual boot or a fresh install of the OS since upgrading could cause conflict between current installations. And the fact that it's a fresh install means that you're not going to risk your files and PC setup once you have decided to downgrade. If you decided to upgrade, it means that you're stuck with it and a format/re-image may be the only way out. Read More...

I've been a Google fan as long as I can remember and have been using most of their services (iGoogle, Gmail, Greader, search engine, etc.) except for Blogger which I carefully dismissed a year ago. As far as Blogger goes, to make it a long story short, I preferred Wordpress for its extensibility among other things. Obviously, I'm using neither services but suffice to say, Blogger is the only Google service that I actually disliked. Read More...
