3 days nang nakaraan mula ng official launch ng Microsoft sa kanilang bagong OS na Windows 7. Noong August pa siya nai-finaliza at naging RTM at noong October 23 lang nakaabot sa “General Availability.”
Eh ang tanong: May Windows 7 na ba sa mga tindahan natin??
Mamaya ko pa tatanungin yung mga PC stores sa SM Bicutan.
Since malapit na matapos bakasyon ko (natin, kung ikaw ay isang college student etc [at naextend pa nga diba..?]), medyo puro Visual Basic programming ang pinaglalaruan ko noong mga nakaraang araw. Ayan tuloy may mga nagawa akong mga programs hehe!
LightSabre – A simple and portable utility that can do the following:
- Enables Folder Options Dialog Box, Task Manager and Registry Editor.
- Enables and disables Autorun on all drives and the CrashOnCtrlScroll* key.
- Scan for and delete autorun.inf file on all drives.
STRING-2-HEX – A small application that converts the entered string into its ASCII equivalents on base 16 (hexadecimal) and vice versa.
You’ll need to download the .NET Framework 2.0 for them to work but if you’re running on Vista or higher then 100% you already have it
*BTW CrashOnCtrlScroll key is a registry entry when enabled, forces the Windows system to crash itself and display a BSOD. Very useful to debuggers and troubleshooters who know Mark Russinovich’s way of troubleshooting hard hangs, etc.
Pwede niyo bang i-test niyo sila sa mga PC’s niyo kasi nai-test ko na sila sa PC ko eh? Paki tignan kung may lilitaw na bugs/errors-kung meron paki sabi nalang sa akin ng detalyado. Maliliit lang sila mga wala pa sa 50,000 bytes sila. Nakapost rin sila sa aking ‘yavinfour software site’
Ano Ok ba??? MARAMING SALAMAT PO!! ng marami!
IT IS NOW OFFICIAL!!!
Announced yesterday, Microsoft revealed that it will complete development of Windows 7 in late July and then make the system broadly available to customers on October 22, 2009. (This is called General Availability, or GA). This date is one week later than what my sources previously told me (October 15, 2009.)
Huli ko pala siyang nagalaw noong Agosto pa nung isang taon(2008). At sa ngayon hindi na siya accurate at mukang hindi na malapit sa akin ung mga sinasabi ko dun.
Since tapos na yung mga classes ko at nagcocool-down na ako mula sa pagiging college freshie ko, may oras na ako ulit tulad ng dati para sa blogging at iba pang kalokohan sa internet! “Le Retour du Jedi” hehe!
Nakita ko ito mula sa JCXP:
After a rough start with distributing the beta, Microsoft must feel guilty. They have extended the time available for public testers to download and obtain keys for the beta.
All the way up to February 10, downloads and keys will be available for public download. After that date, if you have the download, keys will still be available.
This cutoff date does not include MSDN and Technet subscribers; the beta along with the keys will be available throughout the entire testing phase.
The expiration date for the beta is August 1, 2009 with an RC release to selected testers scheduled for before that date.
Kaya guys may chance pa kayong itry ito! idownload niyo na siya dito.
Medyo nagmamadali lang kasi nasa cafe ako ngayon ;D
Nakita ko sa JCXP ito:
Instead of using benchmarking programs, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes from ZDNet put together 23 real-world scenarios to see which operating system would be the quickest to complete all of the tasks.
He tested the 32-bit versions of Windows 7 build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows XP SP3. Two separate test machines were used:
An AMD Phenom 9700 2.4GHz system fitted with an ATI Radeon 3850 and 4GB of RAM
An Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2GHz fitted with an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS and 1GB of RAM
Neither of these computers is top of the line, but Windows 7 managed to outperform both Vista and XP on both. Kingsley gave a 1 to the operating system that finished each test first, a 2 for second place, and a 3 for third. Windows 7 scored 25 points on both systems, placing first in 21 tests, and second in two other ones. On the AMD system, XP scored 61 points and Vista scored 52, while on the Intel system, XP scored 56 points and Vista scored 57.
Mukang mangingibabaw sa lahat ng mga OS itong bagong version ng windows sa hinaharap. Sana naman totoo talaga ito at matindi ang pag-iimrove ng microsoft sa Windows 7. At sana din gumana siya kahit papaano sa mga kahit PIII-PIV almost legacy PCs.
Nandito yung mas detalyadong report: http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=3236&page=2
More than a week ago some B’laans visited us at our parish after performing their unique dance at the Passionist’s 50th anniversary concert last January 25th. They stayed for a few days here before going back home at Polomolok, Mindanao. I was really anxious to meet them before, but now that I’ve made friends to them, we’re a bit close to each other. I talked to them and we had a nice conversation actually a night before they go home. One of them, Irene, gave me these list of some of their word translated into tagalog. The B’laans are a group of indigenous people living on the mountains of South Cotabato at mindanao.

I’ll be posting soon some of my pictures of me with them.
Drawings: Graphic representation of real objects formed by various combinations of lines.
1.artistic drawings
2.technical drawings
3.mechanical
4.aesthetic
5.abstract
Technical drawings represent objects to be constructed.
Mechanical drawings are made with the use of instruments: T-sqares – triangle – compass – French curve or computer etc.
Drawing is a skill that can be acquired by anyone with good eyesight and eye-hand coordination.
Drawing images of our idea or perception of something is not difficult. Seeing is the problem. In artistic drawing we rely more on our creative, intuitive and imaginative resources.
This kind of drawing is akin to a method of information processing. It helps us to perceive things more clearly, awakens our eyes to more creative solutions to problem solving.
It is like a meditation/a shift in consciousness as in listening to music, typing, jogging or even driving a car .While driving a car we are aware of various special information – sensing complex components of road condition, speed, visibility and overall traffic situation.
Likewise in drawing, we are constantly evaluating the various aspects of the drawing or design.
The rhythm, balance, line, color, and shape and size are being adjusted throughout your composition. When all the elements come together, you have completed your work of art.
Drawing involves thinking and doing, trying and discarding, discovery and rejection.
Line – color – or tone – form – shape – volume are some of the main elements expressed on a two dimensional surface to create your masterpiece.
Artistic creation arises from humanity’s need for emotional expression.
Drawing usually starts with a line. But, there is no line in nature. What you we usually think of as line is in reality the division between forms. Line is of little value to the painter who must learn to see in terms of light and shadow. The tool of the painter is Value – the science of light and shadow. Light and shade can be measured in precise values on scale from zero to ten, or from black to white.
The artist’s job is to create the illusion of a three-dimensional form on a two dimensional surface. We perceive that form mainly because of light and shadow. Most students have a little experience with drawing and their knowledge of proportions is limited. Proportions deal with measure, and measure is the best taught with line. There are two types of line, straight and curved, plus four different directions: vertical, horizontal, right, and left obliques
In drawing, it’s important to perceive the contours of a subject and variation of the contours in relation to above standards. Imagine a head tilted to one side of absolute vertical. If we are drawing a person’s head we must determine how many degrees, away from the vertical is the tilt of a person’s head. The precise tilt of a person’s head away from the absolute vertical can be found by using a vertical line next to the drawing of the head. The space between vertical and the tilt of the head is called negative space. You must learn to translate your perception into some graphic form of expression, to communicate your idea.
Art is the making well or properly arranging of anything whatever that needs to be made, whether it be a drawing, a painting, a statue or sculpture, a garden or an automobile.
This is the specifically catholic doctrine of art which in the words of St. Thomas that “there can be no good use without art.” (i.e. if things are not properly made.)
It is obvious that if thing required for use, whether for intellectual or physical, if not made properly made cannot be enjoyed. Poorly prepared food will disagree with us and in the same sense sentimental or auto-biographical art necessarily weakens the morale of those who feed on it.
The practice of goodness is accomplished by spontaneous spiritual joy and splendor of spiritual beauty. Truth is beautiful in itself.
Truth in words, the rational expression of the knowledge of created and uncreated reality is necessary to man who is endowed with intellect. But that truth can find other means of expression. Above all when it is a matter of evoking what is beyond words, the depths of the heart, the exaltation of the soul, the mystery of God.
Even before revealing himself to man in words of truth, god revealed himself to man in the universal languages of creation, the work of his word, of his wisdom.
The order and harmony of the universe which both the child and the scientist discover.
From the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their creator.
“For the author of beauty created them”-wisdom 13:35.
Created in the “image of god” man also expresses the truth of his relationship with God the creator, by the beauty of his created works.
Art is a distinctively human form of expression. Beyond the search for the necessities of life which are common to all living creatures.
Art is a freely Given superabundance of human beings inner riches, arising from the talents given by the Creator and by man’s own effort.
Art is a form of practical wisdom, uniting knowledge and skill to give form to the truth of reality in a language accessible to sight and hearing.
To the extent that it is inspired by truth and love of beings, art bears a certain likeness to God’s activity in what ha has created. Like any other human activity , Art is not absolute end in itself, but is ordered to and enabled by the ultimate end of man.
The Creator whose sermon is not the expression of a private opinion or philosophy, but the exposition of a traditional doctrine, is speaking with perfect freedo, and originality, the doctrine is His, not as having invented it; but by conformation, even in direct citation. He is not a parrot, but giving out of himself a recreated theme. The artist is the servant of the work to be done; and it as true as in the realm of conduct “that my service is my perfect freedom.”
