Ika-26 ng Linggo: Bayanihan, Debian, Kombucha
English Version Bayanihan Paulit-ulit akong namamangha sa konsepto ng bayanihan kaya tuloy-tuloy kong pinagaaralan at isinasagawa ito. Natapos ko kamakailan ang librong Practical Anarchism. Sinasabi sa libro na ang pag-susuporta at ang pagalaga sa isat-isa ay napakahalaga sa anarkismo. Nakakasabik ang aklat na ito, pero medyo malalim at masalimuot ang kanyang paksa. Ang susunod kong […]

Praxes for 2022
Inspired by https://aklas.xyz/2020-praxis/ Using a 15-year-old computer I learned about permacomputing in 2022, and I wanted to put those concepts of sustainability and maximizing hardware lifespan into practice. I’ve been yearning for a tiny personal laptop that I could bring with me wherever I went, so I got an EeePC from 2008 instead of buying […]

Ika-23 ng Linggo: Pasko at ang Low-end na Kompyuter
English Version Pasko Nasa Maryland ako ngayon kasama ang pamilya ko. Bukod sa pagdadaldalan at pakikisalamuha sa pamilya, naudyok ko rin ang iba sa kanila na manood ng mga ibon at mga bituin! Medyo maraming puno dito kaya punong-puno ng ibon ang paligid namin. Hindi ko sila lahat makita, pero nakita ko ang tufted titmouse, […]

Week 23: Christmas and Low-end Computing
Tagalog Version Christmas I’m in Maryland right now spending time with my family. It’s relaxing over here. Aside from catching up and hanging out with family, I got to convince some of them to go stargazing and birdwatching with me! We’re in a wooded area, so there are a ton of birds around here. I […]

Hello again, Linux
I’ve been running Linux on my laptop for a little over a week now, and so far I’m really impressed with it! It’s probably almost a decade since I last used Linux (outside of Windows Subsystem for Linux and accessing remote machines) so I wanted to see how well it works as my main OS. […]

Budgie Released
I might be the last person on Earth to realize this, but I recently learned how useful spreadsheets can be in my personal life. This whole time I’ve been avoiding spreadsheets because I thought they were for serious business people who need to do serious things like projections and reports. So I’ve been pushing myself […]

Caps Warlock and Alarm Pup Released
I recently released two new apps on itch.io: Caps Warlock and Alarm Pup. Caps Warlock is an AutoHotkey script that I’ve been working on to make the Caps Lock key more useful. It adds useful keyboard shortcuts to desktop apps like Figma, Firefox, and Sublime Text. It doesn’t support that many apps yet, but I’m […]

Ear Transit Released
I made a desktop app called Ear Transit! It’s a tiny tool that lets you listen to background noise on your computer even if you’re not connected to the internet. It currently has 4 background noises at the moment, but I’ll be adding more pretty soon. Right now it only runs on Windows, so I’m […]

Figma ♥ AutoHotKey
I found out about AutoHotKey last week because I was looking for a lightweight alternative to Logitech Options. My plan was to remap the buttons on my mouse and be done with it. But after going through the AutoHotKey tutorial, I realized that it’s actually much more powerful than I thought. It got me excited […]

Moving to Windows
Repairability has become a big part of my decision making when I buy new devices these days. I don’t know much about electronics, but learning to make minor repairs on my iPhone, Android, and Roomba made me realize that I could easily give new life to old and hobbling tech. It felt good to keep something going, […]
