I just recently made my HTC Touch Pro2 to boot in Android and I am loving it thanks to the folks at XDA!  Well the android for HTC Touch Pro2 is not yet fully compatible having the phone originally built for windows.  For one, it still doesn't have sound, you can place calls and talk to the person on the other end of the line but you cannot play music or have a ringtone, not even hear an alert message.  Another is the sleep mode, which is what I have the most trouble with.  Right now, it just emulates the "sleep" mode by blanking the display but it is still very active and is still displaying something, only it is black (I can still see some light at the sides of the screen).  Thus the battery is still draining while in sleep mode and is actually making the phone heat up a little.

But all in all it looks very promising!  And it didn't disappoint me at all with my first encounter with Android.  In fact I'm loving it.  Windows 7 aside, I love Android more than Windows mobile and I can't wait to create my own apps for it!

This a good list of websites too get some inspiration in photography. Click on!

I have been out of sync with the latest and the greatest of web application development these past years due to my growing interest in project management.  Thus, since I am currently a programmer, I feel that my knowledge is not at par with my peers or even way down below the level that I should be in right now.

So to at least up my ante, there are a few things I want to do right now.

For each of these goals, I want to create a project -- not big projects, small ones but useful.  For #1 I have already created a Google code hosted project named "liban".  It's an online leave and absence management tool that is appropriate for small to maybe up to medium-sized companies.  There are no source code checked in yet as it is still in the inception phase and I still have to read on the Spring Framework.  As for the other goals, if you have some projects in mind, do shout it out at the comments section.

Of course these goals does not just end here.  Incidentally I will also need to study or brush up on the different persistence framework, design patterns, design concepts, and AJAX libraries.

I just hope these just doesn't end as a list here. *grin*

I have been rather unsatisfied of whatever I have right now especially my work and the fact that I am working in a land far away from my home. Maybe its home sickness or maybe a form of depression. Whatever it is, it sure has grabbed me by my balls!
