It Begins: Holiday Online Shopping Spree
Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at November 29th, 2011
As a gamer and well, an all-around geek I look forward to the months of November and December for one reason: the beginning of the holiday sales.
Take note: this period starts from the day after Thanksgiving which has been coined as ‘Black Friday’ in the USA which symbolically marks the start of the holidays. This is the time of the year when stores offer insane discounts and as the all0around geek that I am I frequent three sites: Board Game Geek, Amazon (doh!) and the digital PC gaming store called Steam.

Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at October 12th, 2011ASUS unveiled their latest ultrabook just a few hours ago. Touted as the Zenbook. I can lust after it.

Rohan Closed Beta Philippines allows you to sell your character for money
Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at February 14th, 2009
With more than 500 seeders, ROHAN Closed Beta is jump starting its way to local shores.
Kiven just announced the opening of ROHAN CLOSED BETA Philippines. I’ve been curious with this particular game franchise as a good number of people have been talking about it – all MMO games are a dime a dozen, especially the ones we franchise into the Philippines. But ROHAN seems to stand out mainly because it is an A+ grade game that’s completely free to play.
Another thing ROHAN permeates into its system is a phenomenon that was actually frowned upon by the industry – although the game is free to play, there is an option to SELL your character once you’ve achieved a desirable level! Hmm another intriguing way to make money online if you aren’t into the blogging or online store gig. In the past, avatar sales from RAN Online and Ragnarok have raked in five digit figures in pesos. Level Up was quick to recognize that this is indeed a lucrative business model – don’t ban it. Encourage it.
You can download the game via FTP or via Torrent (as seen above).
Windows 7 Taskbar “Superbar” brings Hope to Microsoft
Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at November 6th, 2008
Obama inspired Hope to America, and a litttle bit of that Hope is rubbing off Microsoft’s new Windows 7. It’s no secret that PDC copies are already out for developers. Rafael Rivera and Ed Bott discussed about the new “super taskbar” that highlights Windows 7′s new GUI.
From what I’ve been hearing, the new Superbar draws a lot of inspiration from the Mac OS X dashboard launcher with a little bit of the Google Chrome shortcut icon feature. The new Taskbar isn’t just a launcher but serves the purpose of adding and remembering sub windows within applications. In other words, what used to take five clicks to get to now only takes two.
I’m excited for Windows 7. Id like to believe it’s a second wind for Microsoft.

Video: How to resize photos quickly using Apple Mail
Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at March 7th, 2008A short 3 minute video I created on how to make use of Mail to resize huge photos. This isn’t really a trick – a lot of Apple Mail users know about the resize option but don’t necessarily use it for resizing photos back to the desktop.
