Started on my journey on SEAM

Just 2 days ago I started reading SEAM in Action by Dan Allen. So far the journey is quite good. Reminds me of the times when I started reading about Ruby on Rails. I am impressed with Ruby on Rails, that's a fact. someday I might switch to becoming a Ruby on Rails programmer (at least when developing web applications that I think are of a small scale. meaning not enterprise level.). But right now I am so much invested in my pool of Java knowledge and experience. Aside from the fact that I still consider having Java as a tool for my creative output still a fun endeavor.

So now I am on my 3rd day of my initial journey to SEAM (version 2.0) and I can't hardly wait for the journey ahead. ciao!

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?...
