Just a few minutes ago, I surrendered my ID card to the solutions delivery section at work. It’s my last day here.
On Monday, I will be reporting for work at the new workplace. It’s going to be pretty exciting. At the same time, I’ll miss this place, with the laid-back yet interesting environment. I sure learned a lot, and I got to try new things.

The phone, that is. (But come to think of it, *that* would make a nice pick-up line. Er… As I was saying…)
This is the LG KS10 phone, the first of a series of mobile phones with Google services pre-installed. Now, that’s even sexier.

My son, Gab, joined a pizza-making camp last Saturday. Conducted by Greenwich, the camp taught kids how pizzas were made, and they were provided materials to make “solo” pizzas. They also had a tour of the kitchen. The kids got to eat the pizzas they made.
For Php120 (~ US$2.50), that wasn’t so bad at all.
From Diesel Sweeties: “I used to have an amazing rack, but I gave it to my administrator.” 
Ealden, here’s how I do it:
- Install and prepare the Windows tools: Tortoise SVN and Putty.
- Create a session in Putty, named svnsession, for example. In Connection > Data > Auto-login username.
- Using the Tortoise SVN context menu (when right-clicking), select SVN Checkout. For the repository URL, type:
svn+ssh://>putty-session-name</path/to/repo
You may be prompted for a password. To avoid that, try using SSH keys.
Update: Also, make sure that the SSH client field (in Tortoise SVN context menu > Settings > Network > SSH) is left blank. Tortoise uses its own built-in SSH client to establish the connection.
