The e-commerce Summit 2010

Many people are interested on making money online nowadays but really only a few have actually earned as much that they can actually leave their current corporate jobs and be a full time internet entrepreneur (whether thru online selling, blogging, advertising, or whatever... the possibilities are actually only limited by your imagination and determination). Me myself haven't earned a penny on the internet via blogs, advertising, google ads or what-not. I have the excuse to myself of being too busy being a corporate java programmer and doing other goals like working out to be fit... But to actually earn from the internet I have not had any success right now. But... right now, I have no more excuse for this, since I am in between corporate jobs right now and aside from working out I really don't have anything else to do. So now is the "perfect" chance for me to actually really put the effort on making money online. How? Well, I have ideas flowing like bees on my mind (blogging, advertising, google ads, selling something, programming as a freelancer). It is up to me to make this a reality. But to really implement a bullet proof way for me to make these ideas a reality and actually earn from them... that's another story. Adding to this is will I earn as soon as possible as I need or want to earn online? This is the big question. And I found my answer on this year's e-commerce Summit.

WHY E-COMMERCE SUMMIT?
I am a java programmer. I consider myself as a techie geek. So I really do know that I can get myself started on the internet business by searching on google. Searching on tutorials on how to monetize a blog, how to be paid for advertisements, etc... BUT I admit somehow it really isn't my strong point right now. Having spent 4 years on doing programming work and other techie stuffs that are a bit far fetched from these marketing things. THOUGH I am really interested to jump ship. So why not just search google and try to start things on my own? BECAUSE OF SPEED. Nowadays you have to make every opportunity into something with the shortest time possible. Especially on the internet. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING ASAP. So if you are also like me who is interested in really earning on the internet and leave your corporate jobs permanently consider the E-Commerce Summit 2010. It will definitely open up doors (and windows). JUMPSTART ON YOUR IDEAS. DON'T WASTE TIME.

Just Bought: Close Up White Now

Just bought it at 7-eleven for 66 pesos. I hope this works :-) Though my teeth are decently white but it doesn't hurt to make them extra whiter :-D

Funny Experience re a Programming Book

I had just finished writing a code sample in a programming book about internationalization and then I load up my application to see the implementation but then it doesn't work! I tried turning the javascript on and off to see if it works but to no avail... I searched google for a similar problem.. it seems my current locale (EN) being reloaded and the locale Spanish (ES) is not... I spent a few good minutes searching for a solution... I was totally clueless why it was not working. I even replaced my source codes with the source codes that came with the programming book but to no avail!... then I decided to skip the internationalization part for a while and just take note of the i18n page... then I went on to progressing with the next page... then.. it turned out that the internationalization implementation was not yet finished on the previous page and I was lacking codes for the implementation to work! LOL!!!!

Second credit card bill (Good or Bad?)

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/business/10/12/10/second-credit-card-bill-pushed-congress

seems good, right? IMO it's really seems good upfront. The only downside (or worry) here is, will this make more people more "reckless" in their credit card purchases? How will this affect the credit card industry (or the banking industry) as a whole? Will it be likely that banks will now be more and more strict in lending? If banks will be at a disadvantage here won't it create more of a bigger problem for the big picture? Power to the people. Power to the people. As long as each person who has a credit card is happy, right?...

The future of Java

http://bit.ly/axiwgu
for me, it's important to learn and be adept with other languages as well. I still love coding in Java and IMO it will stay for a long time especially on the enterprise. So no worries for us java developers out there. I think if you become an expert in Java enterprise especially in the future then the big bucks will be really there. But, it will certainly be fun and necessary to learn more effective languages that are newer and better designed for your problem domains. If not to stay fun coding but also to be sure you'll still be marketable. It also keeps the fire in you as a geek. lolz.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

I've been waiting for so long for this movie to come out ever since I saw a poster of it in SM months ago. When I finally saw it I can say that I like it :-) Maybe not as much as I like the first Wall Street but I can't really compare the two movies because the concept on my opinion is different enough to be compared.

The first movie for me is a coolness and sleazy type of story.
The 2nd movie is a cheesy redemption type of story. So there's really nothing to compare. Oliver Stone did a good job of emphasizing the difference of the wall street scenario back in the days and the current setting now. Of course, you can see that the office back in the first movie has all this CRT monitors and not much style. But in the 2nd movie you can see all these cool LCD monitors and the stylish office too. And also very importantly you can see the difference in the software used between the two movies.

Michael Douglas (then and now)
I think Michael Douglas did a great job of portraying the Gordon Gekko character not only in the first movie (w/c he won best actor) but also in the 2nd movie. He puts the bravado in the film. I'm not sure if I would have still watched the movie if it wasn't Michael Douglas in it. I love this man. I hope he recovers from throat cancer.

Charlie Sheen vs. Shia LaBeouf
Personally, I like Charlie Sheen better than Shia LaBeouf comparing the two wall street movie. Not just the character but how they played the character. Charlie Sheen gave more powerful expressions and delivery. Though I also like how Shia portrayed being a yuppie and i like how he portrayed a confident one.

Going back to FireFox

I experienced some "buggy" things on Chrome when using yahoo mail. Like when I have opened a mail it does not change its color to being already read. It doesn't happen to me on Firefox. And sometimes when I already deleted a number of messages on my Inbox, when I open yahoo again the next time the deleted messages are there again!

Though I really like Chrome, especially the ability to enter search strings on the address bar is so cool. But IMO Firefox is way off more stable for now.
