Google Calendar “Tasks” not yet available in Google Apps
May 22nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Tools
I had high hopes when I saw the news which said “Tasks, now in Calendar too” from the Gmail Blog. I have always been searching for a decent TODO app nicely integrated with my other appointments.
Unfortunately, when I checked the Calendar application from our Google Apps Standard, the link was not there. I then checked [...]

I’m relatively new to Mac OS X and have been struggling to find out how to quickly “Show the Desktop” to see all the icons I have in there.
I have been used to clicking that little “Show Desktop” icon on the bottom left of the screen in Windows and was looking for an equivalent on [...]

Web Hosting Anyone?
January 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Business, Philippines, Tools
We’ve finally decided to get a reseller hosting space to accommodate our growing number of sites.
It’s quite pricey to get a hosting account for each site so we’re now getting one big space and divide it accordingly.
To help us with the initial costs of setting up the account, we’ve decided to offer the remaining space [...]

Being a *nix noob, I found it really hard to figure out the problem I had with a cron job last week.
The fact that sendmail was disabled in the machine I was working on also didn’t help (no emails were sent during failed cron task execution).
To workaround the problem, I found a useful tip from [...]

I’ve seen this ad pop up in our site before but this morning I decided to give it a try.
