    SWIPER: Simple program for deleting empty folders (Windows)

    While reorganizing my files a few days ago, I came across a conundrum. It was how to automatically delete many empty folders. I looked for some solutions on the web and came across this page that has instructions on how to delete empty folders without having to install any software (because we don't like the idea of installing a software that would just be rarely used, right?). The procedure was nice and easy, but it was quite long so I built a simple program that would execute the procedure. I called it Swiper and made it available for anybody to use (for free, of course).


    Simply place Swiper in the folder which contains the empty sub-folders you want to delete, then run it. No installation, no hassle. If you would like to know how it works, read the contents of the "page." Good luck with your file management!

    Hey, this is my first post in several months! School just wouldn't give me more breaks like what I am having now because of typhoon Ondoy.

    Stupid SMS about Friendster's downtime

    Just minutes ago I received a text (below) that tried to explain the downtime Friendster is experiencing for a couple of days now.

    Please be advised that Friendster has suffered a great damage on their site as a computer named h4xor-nytmare had infiltrated their database.

    Please, do not log in your accounts or add friends for the time being for the team is currently recovering the losses that were inflicted.

    Please spread...

    Mail Goggles: Gmail for Drunk


    "Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together." If you are like Jon Perlow, the engineer who started Mail Goggles, as characterized by his statement above, try Gmail's newest feature for it might help you.

    To enable Mail Goggles, go to Settings->Labs, select 'Enable', then hit 'Save Changes'. Voila! It may now be configured in the General Settings.

    To be allowed to send an email during the times you indicated in the configuration, you must pass a test given by Goggles. Exciting, isn't it? Try to play on the difficulty levels as well.

    The much-awaited tenth-anniversary logo of Google (above right), together with a time line of Google's history, has just been released. Meanwhile, Philippine Science High Schol - Bicol Region Campus (aka Pisay Bicol), my alma mater, will also be celebrating ten years of its existence this coming October. The logo for the upcoming event (above left) was selected through a contest.

    Now enough of institutions celebrating birthdays. I celebrated my 18th birthday yesterday September 27 (GMT +8), and that makes me of legal age now. *evil grin* By the way, thanks to those who did not forget to say Happy Birthday", or "Palibre naman" (which is another way of greeting, LOL), you guys are the best.

    Hello David,

    I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days? I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.

    Dear Simon,

    Disregarding the fact that you have still not paid me for work I completed earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based on further vague promises of future possible payment. Please find attached pie chart as requested and let me know of any changes required.

    Dear Simon,

    You are correct and I apologise. Your last project was actually both commercially viable and original. Unfortunately the part that was commercially viable was not original, and the part that was original was not commercially viable.
    I would no doubt find your ideas more 'cutting edge' and original if I had traveled forward in time from the 1950's but as it stands, your ideas for technology based projects that have already been put into application by other people several years before you thought of them fail to generate the enthusiasm they possibly deserve. Having said that though, if I had traveled forward in time, my time machine would probably put your peer to peer networking technology to shame as not only would it have commercial viability, but also an awesome logo and accompanying pie charts.
    Regardless, I have, as requested, attached a logo that represents not only the peer to peer networking project you are currently working on, but working with you in general.
    Regards, David.

    You just crossed the line. You have no idea about the potential this project has. The technology allows users to network peer to peer, add contacts, share information and is potentially worth many millions of dollars and your short sightedness just cost you any chance of being involved.

    Dear Simon,

    So you have invented Twitter. Congratulations. This is where that time machine would definitely have come in quite handy.
    When I was about twelve, I read that time slows down when approaching the speed of light so I constructed a time machine by securing my father's portable generator to the back of my mini-bike with rope and attaching the drive belt to the back wheel. Unfortunately, instead of traveling through time and finding myself in the future, I traveled about fifty metres along the footpath at 200mph before finding myself in a bush. When asked by the nurse filling out the hospital accident report "Cause of accident?" I stated 'time travel attempt' but she wrote down 'stupidity'.
    If I did have a working time machine, the first thing I would do is go back four days and tell myself to read the warning on the hair removal cream packaging where it recommends not using on sensitive areas. I would then travel several months back to warn myself against agreeing to do copious amounts of design work for an old man wielding the business plan equivalent of a retarded child poking itself in the eye with a spoon, before finally traveling back to 1982 and explaining to myself the long term photographic repercussions of going to the hairdresser and asking for a haircut exactly like Simon LeBon's the day before a large family gathering.
    Regards, David.

    Anyone else would be able to see the opportunity I am presenting but not you. You have to be a fucking smart arse about it. All I was asking for was a logo and a few pie charts which would have taken you a few fucking hours.

    Dear Simon

    Actually, you were asking me to design a logotype which would have taken me a few hours and fifteen years experience. For free. With pie charts. Usually when people don't ask me to design them a logo, pie charts or website, I, in return, do not ask them to paint my apartment, drive me to the airport, represent me in court or whatever it is they do for a living. Unfortunately though, as your business model consists entirely of "Facebook is cool, I am going to make a website just like that", this non exchange of free services has no foundation as you offer nothing of which I wont ask for.
    Regards, David.

    What the fuck is your point? Are you going to do the logo and charts for me or not?

    CopiedText?

    This blog is not about you! And certainly not about me either. This is about the works of the unsung heroes [or villains, if you will] of the Web. CopiedText features chunks of texts lifted from many different forms, i. e. chain emails, IMs, facebook notes, tweets, plurks, other blogs, news, waves, etc., authored by persons we probably never even heard of. [Think about it, how many chain emails do you know whose author is?] Here you will find texts that someone may find interesting, funny, stupid, heart-warming, or whatever adjective.

    I am starting this blog because I am not feeling well. Yes, you read that right. Being sick is the reason why I skipped school today [I am currently a EEE student] and hence had some time to entertain some ideas that may appear to be not so smart to other people.

    This blog is not about you, but if you think this was for you, feel free to view its contents, and maybe share some of your CopiedText.

    Human Kalesa


    Just what the heck could this kid be doing?

    We saw this at a certain Henry Sy slavery institution located somewhere at the intersection of North Avenue and EDSA, approximately a kilometer west of Quezon City Hall and a walking/crawling distance from a rival business edifice.

    The function of the attraction is to carry the customer, a kid, and to serve as a miniaturized rickshaw pulled by a mechanical metahuman, but what this ride insinuate to a young human mind can have repercussions that are greater than the simplism of a money making scheme.

    The obvious issue here is the ride's implication that slavery is a positive thing. Even if the topics of a Marxist approach are present, and a society would only proceed thru violent revolutions by the people with lesser political power (french revolution, proletarian revolution for socialist societies, slave revolts, tribal wars of the primitive communalism/foraging societies, etc.), the thought of a pure dominance of a dictator is a difficult thing to take in a democratic-grounded society that is the Philippines. Imagine another dictatorship to occupy the government, the same hell and holy crap such as the overused People Power Revolution would again stir (although this I would truly recommend if Erap would be president again, or encourage a nationwide migration). And again the nation would relive the events and the drama that was the Martial Law period. The customers of this ride would not normally magnify the implications of subliminal themes such as autocracy and tyranny, but, come to think of it, a dictatorship can start from the realization of previous interests, and acceptance of the dictator's counsels on establishing a dictatorial government. When you point out a notion that all members in a group agree, one involuntary action is to eradicate all contradicting notions on their belief. If you think this is an impossible assumption, this is exhibited by The Crusades, The Holocaust and The Maguindanao Massacre. In contrast with the ride, if a majority of the customers would congregate to follow their prevailing instinct of controlling people by force or money, a negative concept can emerge from that. As responsible citizens, we cannot afford to have mistakes amidst faulty governance and questionable legislation.

    I am not saying that the ride is a work of the devil, but we must train ourselves to notice the details, so we can be aware of existing occurences and its causes.

    The Eddie Gil Connection

    Who is Eddie Gil? Do you know him? And, please, what is under Eddie Gil's wig or pelukang itim? Do you know the answer? Amazing. These are the questions that we need to answer as we read this article and, no, amazing is not the answer.

    Eddie Gil is a not-so-well-known actor(?) and singer(?) who ran for president during the 2004 Presidential Elections. However, he was disqualified when Bro. Eddie Villanueva, his rival for the Presidency, filed a complaint to the Commission on Elections on the ground that Eddie Gil was a dubious character and cited his inability to mount a national campaign.

    Would you doubt this man?!?

    While he was campaigning, he said that he would pay the Philippines' debt with his own money, completely disregarding the fact that the Philippines' debt amounted to a shitload of money that would make Bill Gates cry. Crying Bill Gates aside, the amount of money that Eddie Gil is willing to spend to pay our debt would make him one of the richest men in the world.

    On the brink of tears

    It turned out that Eddie Gil might have been lying after all and Bill Gates might have been laughing all the time when Eddie Gil said that he would pay our debt, because, in an amazing and comical set of events worthy of a film, Eddie Gil could not even afford his hotel accommodations and one of his checks even bounced like a ball on steroids. It turned out that Eddie Gil was no billionaire but a poor delusional man who hoped to become president.

    However, the true intention of this article is not to make a mockery of Eddi Gil, but to shed light on the Philippines’ problems using Eddie Gil as a starting ground. The problem is that our current situation is so troubling that it is as if Eddie Gil won the presidential elections. Yes. Let that sink in for a moment. Eddie Gil won. Imagine that. Nice huh?

    Woohoo! I won!

    The problem with the Philippines is that we are so ready to believe our current set of politicians, that we lap up their lies, vote for them, and rush ourselves to total annihilation. We believe that this politician will not steal, we believe that this politician will help us rise from poverty, even a 10+% of the Philippine population believe that Erap Estrada is still a "VALID" candidate despite the fact that he is found guilty of plunder [beyond reasonable doubt]! WTF? I might reconsider my vote if it were jay walking or littering but PLUNDER? Between Erap and Eddie Gil, I will choose Eddie Gil although they have the same hairstyle.

    See?

    The point is, the Philippines is a country led by a bunch of Eddie Gil's. They are the ones who keep promising us progress and, yet, cannot deliver. They are the ones who are raised to power to help themselves and not the Filipino people. They are the ones who pose as Jose Vidal, and the ones who shout 'Hello, Garci' on the phone. However, the sad part is that most of us are powerless to stop it. Powerless because we do not care, because we cannot do anything, or because we become like them when we have the power to stop them. The Filipinos have always been a conquered race and we never became free from oppression even if we have gained independence from the US. It turned out we only became prisoners of our countrymen who supposedly had the power to free us but never did. We must now shake these chains that bind and shout, "No more to Eddie Gil's and LIES!" and with this shout we can be freed from the chains. No need to wear yellow or orange; we only need to collectively shout and take action and then freedom will follow.
