When divine and human love collide

I know this isn’t really newsworthy, but I gotta tell you, stories like this really break my heart. Anyone who really knows me, knows I have a “pusong mamon” when it comes to stuff like this. I [literally] have cried over shows/movies that you never would have thought a person could cry over; it’s one of things about me that my friends and family make fun of.

So I’m going to just say it; after reading this, I fucking cried. I imagine being in that man’s shoes; being up against God in that context – how do you win? How could you win?

How could you even begin to be happy for the “happiness” of someone you love when in a situation like that? Losing someone that’s directly tied to your own happiness – It just seems so unfair even if it’s really not. How could God be such a dick and let stuff like this happen, right? When I think about the futility of it all, how could I not cry?

I feel for you bro, I’m hoping against hope that God gives her back to you. Oh, and I can’t even begin to fathom how much it would suck if it turned out there wasn’t a God.

Classy Retro Feel!

I just got my Lumix LX3 a few days ago and I’m lovin’ it! Having just purchased a Sony W120 a few weeks before, I’m sure you can think of a bunch of questions; Why upgrade? Why Panasonic? etc. etc. I’ll be discussing that as well as talk about my experience with the LX3 thus far. Read More

Fast, clean and reliable iPhone backups

As iPhone users know, iTunes’ backup facility is sketchy at best; It can corrupt backups, it can be ridiculously slow, and on a personal note; I don’t like the idea of “trace files” creeping into a newly restored device.

So I’ve decided to outline a “workflow” I personally use whenever I’m up for a restore session. Everything here assumes a jailbroken device of course.

How it was before

On a 2.x device, the way you could get your AppStore apps’ settings restored was by using iTunes’ backup images – buggy as it is. There’s also the issue of bugs during normal usage; there have been cases of legitimate apps randomly crashing – and the only “cure” was to erase the app and reinstall it. This would’ve been fine, only they forgot to mention that when you erase/uninstall an app, that’s exactly what you’ve done – along with all its data.

Color Management in Firefox

Firefox disables color management by default. This means it won’t honor a color profile embedded in a digital image – which annoys photographers who post pictures online to no end.

Here’s how to fix it; in Firefox’s addressbar, type in: about:config

Then search/scroll the list of options till you see the following option:

gfx.color_management.enabled         user set        boolean      false

Double click on it to toggle its state to true then restart Firefox 😉

There you have it OSX users, no more reason to stick with Safari for the sole purpose of “proper color management”
