I've just finished migrating my old site in the UP Manila servers to eoncomputing.net. Since I'm shutting down my current company in favor of setting up a new corporation by next year, I figured I'd use the empty webspace of my company for the meantime as my own consulting site.

Why does this have to happen at the worst possible time - my laptop's hard disk just crashed! I don't mind working on my dual Xeon workstation... but I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT CARRYING a 4U machine as a portable! Now I need to find some cash to buy a new laptop hard disk...

I've made a lot of progress with the ERP I'm building. Just incorporated charting functionality via ZGDChart. It's still a bit slow (I haven't really optimized the database yet as there's still no data warehouse yet) but hopefully in time I'd be able to do an audit and fix all these problems (or at least a whole lot of them).

The initial interview with Google came out fine. Now I'm a bit worried as they haven't replied with an updated schedule for the second (technical) interview. I can't make it Monday morning on my time as I do have a class by 8AM. Big problem... Oh well...

Somehow I've made my dual proc workstation stable under kernel 2.6 by disabling ACPI and recompiling the kernel to remove the ATI radeon loadable kernel modules. Not cool, but until I get some cash to buy an Nvidia card or hopefully the OpenGraphics card (I'd buy it even if it cost $200) which would work real fine on Linux I'd stick with my flakey ATI Radeon 7000 running on VESA.

I got reelected to the board of the Philippine Linux Users Group a month ago (and I didn't write about it back then! Sheesh...) There's still a lot more to do for me in PLUG, and hopefully we would pull those projects off and tasks well done.
