Days Are Being Counted For Nokia's N-Gage

Posted by Boffill Saturday, October 31, 2009

When I first got my N82, I was so happy that there's a built in N-gage application in it. I made ways to get updates on the games and to download the latest games that N-gage will release. One of the best is the "One", my all time favorite. But this doesn't seem to work at all. I just heard some rumors that the N-gage gaming platform of Nokia will soon be closed.



What I like more in N-gage is that its bundled with my phone. No need for me to bring any additional gadget just to pacify me when I'm out waiting for nothing. But it seems that the Market is not that fund of playing N-gage games. Classic games has been released by N-gage like Worms World Party but competitors like PSP, Gameboy, Nintendo and other portable devices are still on top in the industry. The only problem with N-gage is that there's no way for you to transfer the your paid content to a different device.


What I heard is that it will soon close on September 2010, after how many years of service.

Comparing 32bit to 64bit Windows Operating System

Posted by Boffill Friday, October 30, 2009
People might take this one for granted but this feature of our computer is important specially if we are installing drivers and softwares on our computer. Basically, 64bit is more efficient compared to 32bit. 32bit cannot handle more information than that of the 64bit. 32bit can only handle up to 3GB of Random Access Memory (RAM) compared to 64bit than can handle higher RAM. When you're running lots of application at the same time and you transfer window to Window, you will notice that transferring is slow if you're running a 32bit Operating System (OS). Sometimes, computers don't load that fast in 32bit compared to 64bit. As what have been mentioned awhile ago, 32bit cannot handle loads of information compared to 64bit. And FYI, only 64bit capable processor can run a 64bit version of Windows.



It is important for us to know if we are running a 32bit or 64bit Operating System when we are installing a software/driver to our computer because software or driver that are written for 64bit only won't work in 32bit Operating System and vice versa.



For you to know if you are running a 32bit or 64bit in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, just click the Start button or others call it Pearl then right click Computer and then click Properties. Under System, there you can view the system type. For Windows XP users, just right click My Computer in Start or on your Desktop and then click Properties. Check if "x64 Edition" is listed. If its not listed, then you are using 32bit and if it is listed, I think you know the answer.

It is part of the "Open Happiness" campaign by the Coca-Cola.

Its a year event and they will start their journey on January 1 next year. Adam Brown, Coca-Cola's director of Office of Digital Communications and Social Media, said, "It's not about having the Coca-Cola brand first and foremost, center of the screen. It's about telling the story that involves Coca-Cola, that involves the attributes of what Coca-Cola is about, optimism and joy."

I remember my girlfriend's mom telling us that Coke has been a witness of all the ups and downs of every individuals. Coke has been with us for how many years and is really bringing us "Joy".

President Arroyo recently announced two long weekends for November. The first long weekend will be on the first week of November. The dates will be on October 31 (Saturday) to November 2 (Monday). November 1, All Saints' Day and November 2, All Souls' Day, are special non-working holidays. The second long weekend is a four-day weekend from November 27 (Friday) to November 30 (Monday). The first two days, November 27 and 28, is a declared non-working holidays in observance of Eid'l Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice, held by our brother Muslims after the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. And on Monday, on that second long weekend, is a regular non-working holiday in celebration of the Bonifactio Day. This dates are gonna be a very exciting dates for me since this are the days that we call "Double Pay". I'm actually planning to talk to my supervisor to change my day off so that I have shifts on this dates. Greed! Well, you can't blame me because we all need money for us to survive. Lame reason but I think this'll work. Ciao!

Ramil, a powerful vibrator!

Posted by Boffill Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Something weird happened when I was at the office taking in calls. I am aware of the storm coming over to the Philippines. I even got soaked in the heavy rain while I'm on my way to work. Never in my life that I experienced a very powerful thunder that can make a building vibrate. Its as if Japanese bombarding Hawaii from the movie "Pearl Harbor". My station was shaking and the only thing that I can do is to stare at my officemates and smile. Hehe. I was thinking that maybe the typhoon Ramil with International name "Lupit" is a lot more scarier than the typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. I just hope that what happened before won't be happening again. That was really a traumatizing event that has been stored to the memory of every citizen in Luzon. God bless our country!

Posted by Boffill
The blog that keeps me go online bids goodbye to their thousands of users. I first noticed it when I went to topblogs.com.ph to check for my status and then went to the humor category and I was wondering why the Number 1 Pinoy Blog in Humor category is now gone. Went to their blog and seen the evidences. The previous posts are now gone and been deleted. All the addendums, the panday rules, the trabaho lang rules and other crazy shits are now gone. Will be missing them guys so much and hope that they will be back soon. Me and my girlfriend have been reading their blog for how many months now and was really upset about what had happened.

Add Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and Youtube to your Nokia Share Online application

Posted by Boffill Saturday, October 10, 2009


Its been a month since I started looking for an application that can let me upload pictures or videos in my Facebook using my phone. I use Facebook regularly and there are times that I want to post pictures from my phone directly to my wall but unfortunately, I am unable to do so because the mobile wap site of Facebook doesn't have an option to do so. Facebook has an option to upload a picture but that's via email and that's a hassle for me. Until yesterday, I discOVIred something, I can now add new services in my Share Online application. Just the other day, I was searching for new services but unable to add any because there's no new services available for my Share Online. I'm stuck with FlickR, Ovi and Vox that I don't really use. This brand new services are from Picasa and Youtube both owned by Google, Facebook and Twitter. I'm so excited to try this one when I'm at home resting. I waited so long to have something like this in my Nokia N82 and its like a dream come true to me. Now, me and my girlfriend won't have any problem uploading pictures in Facebook and any other site. No need for you to create an additional account for this one nor downloading and installing any application. No need to purchase something and subscribe to something because this one is for free. What you only need is a Series 60 3rd Edition or 5th Edition Nokia Phone and a Share Online installed in your phone that normally is a pre-installed application when you buy a Nokia phone. Below is an instruction for you to download those services to your Share Online application.

1. On your Nokia browser, go to http://furtiv.mobi/

2. Select the settings that you want for your phone

3. Once your done, go to Share Online and the service is ready for you to activate. You just need your credentials to activate the service.

4. Enjoy!

Top 21: Boffill Bernardes' WebCrib

Posted by Boffill Monday, October 5, 2009
Been into blogging since 2006 and haven't achieved anything from it until today, I noticed that my rank in Pinoy Top Blogs hit the Top 21! It isn't really normal since my previous ranking is at over 50s and sometimes over 100s. I was so happy that my blog has been recognized by people from all over the world. Well, what I noticed is that most of my visitors came from Stumbleupon. It all started when I posted my blog post to Stumbleupon just for nothing and that nothing resulted to something, my blog is being read by people from all over the world specifically from United States, United Kingdom and Canada. With this, I am now inspired to post more article and share some thoughts and ideas. I just wish that this thing won't stop, coz I can't stop. Thanks for the people who took time reading some nonsense shit in this blog.
