learning linux

i've always wanted to learn linux for years. but i'm still stuck with this crappy w!ndows v!sta - yes, v!sta. the crappiest of them all. and now that i have some time and a spare laptop to use, i managed to install ubuntu studio. why ubuntu studio? i just got fascinated with the programs it came with.

the first thing i checked was if i could go online, wireless that is. sad to say, the browser couldn't fetch anything. fortunately, getting the laptop wired got me online. and that's one less trouble for me.

now, the problem at hand is that there is no wireless connection. solution - search the web.

i landed on ubuntuforums.com and found out that ubuntu studio doesn't install the gnome network manager which is like the "view available networks" on xp and "connect to a network" on v!sta. so, lets just install it. i mean, lets try to install it.

next: installing a program in linux

saving money weekly

I came across a an idea called 52 Week Money Challenge. Let me share to you how it works. The idea is to save Php62,900.00 in 52 weeks(one year) and we start with only Php50.00. What is it? From the label 52 Week Money Challenge, it's a Challenge. It's about saving Money. It runs for 52 weeks (1 year). In a nutshell, you religiously save an increasing amount for the whole year. How do you do it? For the first week, you save Php50.00. On the second week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php50.00 - plus additional Php50.00. That's Php100.00 On the third week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php100.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php150.00 On the fourth week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php150.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php200.00 You repeat the cycle for one year or 52 weeks. Enjoy your money. Minimum Requirements: Make sure you can wait for one year You have an income for at leas...

On Philippine Constitutional Reform

For years, my country, the Philippines, has lived under a plague of uncertainty, disorientation, and quiet despair. It’s not even dramatic anymore; an undeniable pessimistic prognosis. I’ve witnessed graft, corruption, and bribery so many times across administrations, from Ramos' all the way to Marcos'. To which, the electoral process itself feels less like a democratic ritual and more like a cyclical delusion. Trust eroded not in one catastrophic moment, but in countless small betrayals. If you know what I know, you will not vote either. Yes, I stopped voting from Ramos. Don't ask. Halfway through a PGMN YouTube episode “ The Ultimate Discussion on Constitutional Reform ” hosted by James Deakin, something snapped. I paused the video, sat back, and realized: I’ve heard this same conversation for decades. The panel was articulate, the arguments compelling, and the intentions sincere. They circled around a central thesis: the constitution needs to be changed. And on that, rig...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 27: A New Way Forward

The Question Changes Everything You've traveled from Newton's boundaries to your own internal conflicts, from quantum mechanics to daily choices, from the cosmos to consciousness. You've seen one pattern emerge everywhere: reality stratifies, frameworks have domains, boundaries are real, and Q=Fλ, Q⊆M explains why. But understanding changes nothing, unless it changes what you do next. This isn't the end of inquiry. It's the beginning of different inquiry. Not seeking final answers but asking better questions. Not forcing unity but navigating plurality. Not eliminating boundaries but recognizing them. Not claiming completion but accepting permanent incompleteness. Not one truth but understanding how truths relate. The framework is complete. The implications are just beginning. This final chapter asks: What becomes possible if we think this way? What questions should we ask? What might change in science, philosophy, education, culture, life? And most importantly: Wha...
