We've come to terms wherein the client prefers a visually orgasmic web site by a graphics designer over my fast and efficient interface design and she's going to drop me anyway. I was told, <em>"Mas maganda ang gawa ni</em> [name of the graphics designer] <em>kesa'yo. Ito na lang seguro ang kukuhanin ko. </em>I think he's better than you." ([Name of the graphics designer]'s design looks better than yours. I am now contemplating to hire his service instead of yours. I think he's better than you.).</p> <p>Backgrounder:<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm an old-school web designer who started working on static web sites since 1996. I am proficient in HTML and Javascript and adept in tinkering source codes via text editors (i.e. Notepad). For the touch of graphics, I commissioned graphics artist to do it for me and splice their work to my web interface.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Content management system (CMS) and blogging platform such as Wordpress and Blogger provided an avenue for fully-automated yet cost-effective web site development. I ditched static web pages and embraced blogging tools to build web sites that are fast, effecient, yet economical. Depending on the needs of the client, the web sites I created for my client are usually "automated" which simply means it is almost comparable to high-end database driven web sites where web site owners can post entries or articles by themselves (e.g. <a href="http://www.wfwp.asia/" target="_blank">http://www.wfwp-asia.blogspot.tw/</a>). All these without the high costs of maintaining a database-driven web sites.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Technology advances for the better and I was left behind with a very awkward know-how of HTML5, DHTML, XHTML, XML, SGML, and any other modern type of markup language for web browser display. Since then, I no longer hand-code web design from scratch but rely heavily on free or premium web templates readily available across the web. It is cost-efficient and save time for me and my client.</p> <span class="fullpost"> <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <div style="float:right;padding:12px; margin-right: 18px;"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4666122850568088"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; /* Travelogue_336x280_Body, created 4/1/09 */ google_ad_slot = "6076273560"; google_color_border = "999999"; google_color_bg = "000000"; google_color_link = "999999"; google_color_text = "666666"; google_color_url = "333333"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p>As an interface designer, I work side-by-side with graphics designer <u>who can provide graphics works that I can splice into my web interface</u>. Interface designer and graphics designer are two different professions. This is why to compare me with a graphics designer is simply not right. As a general rule, these are completely two different discipline in the web design industry that complement with each other - not compete.</p> <p>There are also instance that interface designer and graphics designer cannot work along with each other. It's not because of competition but more on compatability issues. One time, I was maintaining a <a href="http://www.ilhwa.com.ph" target="_blank"rel="nofollow">particular web site</a> operating on Blogger platform. Posting and updating with entries were as easy as a breeze. Yet, while the domain is country-level, still it didn't incurred much expenditures as even web hosting is being provided by Google (or more appropriately Blogspot) for free. The owner commissioned a friend graphics designer to "redesign" the site. The plan included getting a paid web hosting service, flashy static web pages, and the tedious FTP jobs. I decommissioned myself from that website because of difference in ideas on how to implement user-friendliness environment for both web site visitors and web site administrators. Fast forward today, I was tasked to update the web site and there lies the problem. The redesigned web site being on static web pages became too difficult to maintain. There was never a problem if only the graphics designer could design an XML-based web template. Blogger platform is XML-based and had XML-based web template was implemented, there was no need to practically overhaul the whole site.</p><p> Nothing is wrong with the graphics designer. He is a very very good designer and talented at that and in fact, an experienced graphics designer working in some prestigious graphics designing company in the country. The only thing is that he's not designing XML-based template.</p> <blockquote> &#8220;Interface design is when one is designing something that will be used by humans. The understanding of how a user thinks, learns and adapts is important knowledge.<br /> <br /> I&#8217;m not down playing graphic design in any way, it&#8217;s just different. For example, graphic designers have the intention to grab an emotional response visually. While Interface designers have the intention to grab a logical response mentally.&#8221; </blockquote> <p>Just as I was Googling keywords like "difference between interface designer and graphics designer," I came across this pretty straight-forward explanation here: <a href="http://m1k3.net/archives/distinction_between_interfaces_and_graphics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://m1k3.net/archives/distinction_between_interfaces_and_graphics</a>.</p> <h2>Complete list of 2013 holidays:</h2> <p>I spent my long weekend almost for nothing - web design project that will not pushed-through.

These scheme used to be available only in limited promos where credit cardholders had to collect and present charge slips to get their freebies, this time the passes are credited to their accounts three business days after the purchase and are valid for 30 days.

In order to qualify, the cardholder needs to spend at least PhP20,000 per month or PhP240,000 within the year of membership. In my case where my monthly expenditures are charged across three credit cards issued from different credit card company, I only averaged PhP12,000.00 a month for my Citibank credit card. My annual membership fee is not waived but I got a discount (see scanned bill below). Cardholder only needs to call the hotline.</p> <p><a rel="lightbox[Citibank_creditcard]" title="Earn discounts with annual membership fees with Citibank credit card" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjozA0l0dhIzbqSBHsesYNVBPV8lsmI_33uQ4nQBIOYtuLWwkKm4T33WWsahaQbRxIGSnfEGn7Pw87Vg7FChSdW6OrsdCVwndglskdMDcvkOGRGiW5XoGxFsPfvf52q7MA0SQ3h/s800/citibank_discount.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjozA0l0dhIzbqSBHsesYNVBPV8lsmI_33uQ4nQBIOYtuLWwkKm4T33WWsahaQbRxIGSnfEGn7Pw87Vg7FChSdW6OrsdCVwndglskdMDcvkOGRGiW5XoGxFsPfvf52q7MA0SQ3h/s800/citibank_discount.jpg" alt="Earn discounts with annual membership fees with Citibank credit card" width="500" height="196" /></a></p> <p>Fees for supplementary cardholders can also be waived if they make at least six purchases every membership year.</p> <p>Please note that this is just a general tip based on my personal experience and some of the above-mentioned may not apply to all Citibank credit card. Citibank credit cards come in different variety so it is best to ask the merchant before making a purchase or call Citibank Hotline to inquire what privileges are being specifically offered for the kind of Citibank credit card the cardholder has.</p> <p>TIPS ON HOW TO USE CITIBANK CREDIT CARD WISELY:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Avoid Late Fees.</strong> Settle bills on time. Cardholder may pay bills through Citibank Online or any BancNet/Megalink ATM by simply transferring funds to their Citibank Credit Card. All check payments will be posted into their account after 4-5 banking days.</li> <li><strong>Save on Interest Charges.</strong> It is best for the cardholder to pay more than the Minimum Amount Due. If they pay only the Minimum Amount Due or any amount less than the Total Amount Due, an Interest Charge will be imposed into their account.</li> <li><strong>Inform Citibank When Traveling Abroad.</strong> Cardholder better inform Citibank when/where they'll be traveling and if they need additional credit limit to ensure convenience and uninterrupted service. Request is subject to credit verification.</li> </ul> <p>By the way, as a cycling enthusiast, I am sharing this blog entry posted about <a href="http://brokelyn.com/citibank-bike-share-design/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Citibank bicycle</a> :p</p> <br clear="all" /> <div style="text-align: right"><a target="_blank" href="http://getfirefox.com/" title="Get Firefox - Take Back the Web"><img src="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/buttons/getfirefox_large.png" border="0" alt="Get Firefox" /></a></div> <em>sent using Sony Ericsson J108i</em></span>dodong flores 도동 플로오리스http://www.blogger.com/profile/10108867295296431668noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37651863.post-19597366184997048712012-08-11T01:16:00.000+08:002012-08-11T01:16:16.603+08:00<p class="introduction"><span class="first-letter">B</span>race yourself for long weekends!</p> <p>August 20, 2012 (Monday) - Eid'l Fitr<br /> August 21, 2012 (Tuesday) - Ninoy Aquino Day<br /> August 27, 2012 (Monday) - National Heroes Day</p> <span class="fullpost"> <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <div style="float:right;padding:12px; margin-right: 18px;"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4666122850568088"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; /* Travelogue_336x280_Body, created 4/1/09 */ google_ad_slot = "6076273560"; google_color_border = "999999"; google_color_bg = "000000"; google_color_link = "999999"; google_color_text = "666666"; google_color_url = "333333"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p>October 26, 2012 (Friday) - Eid'l Adha</p> <p>November 1, 2012 (Thursday) - All Saints Day<br /> November 2, 2012 (Friday) - Special (non-working) Day</p> <a id="linkButtonPrint" onClick="return window.print();" href="javascript: void(0);">Print this page</a> <br clear="all" /> <div style="text-align: right"><a target="_blank" href="http://getfirefox.com/" title="Get Firefox - Take Back the Web"><img src="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/buttons/getfirefox_large.png" border="0" alt="Get Firefox" /></a></div> <em>sent using Sony Ericsson J108i</em></span>dodong flores 도동 플로오리스http://www.blogger.com/profile/10108867295296431668noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37651863.post-13348130866666681082012-08-09T03:27:00.006+08:002012-08-09T03:37:50.233+08:00<p class="introduction"><span class="first-letter">8</span> hours ago, I was stranded in Marikina flood (see the thread <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dodongflores/posts/10151012960699370" target="_blank">here</a>).</p> <span class="fullpost"> <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <div style="float:right;padding:12px; margin-right: 18px;"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4666122850568088"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; /* Travelogue_336x280_Body, created 4/1/09 */ google_ad_slot = "6076273560"; google_color_border = "999999"; google_color_bg = "000000"; google_color_link = "999999"; google_color_text = "666666"; google_color_url = "333333"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a rel="lightbox[southwest_monsoon_flood]" title="Photo taken by dodong flores" href="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/486564_10151012973639370_703835005_n.jpg"><img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/486564_10151012973639370_703835005_n.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Photo taken by dodong flores" /></a>We were able to find a much higher ground, a Caltex gas station that generously accommodated us.

I was always stranded on my way home since Monday, August 6. When the flood subsided early in the morning in August 7, I was able to drive a car and went home to supposedly secure my things out, thus I was able to capture a few photos posted <a href="http://travelogue.digitalrebel.ws/2012/08/deja-vu.html" target="_blank">in this post</a>. But the rain continued to dump more water and water level risen up again in the night time that got me stranded again. Jeepneys plying the Crossing-Antipolo route are gone. I am probably one of those people stranded while this photo was taken.

Danilo Suarez, titled “An urgent resolution calling for an investigation in aid of legislation by the appropriate committee of the House of Representatives regarding the effect of the cancellation of the Post Ondoy and Pepeng short term infrastructure rehabilitation projects (POPSTRIP) on the flood control program of the government.”<br /><br /> The resolution noted that “months before the onset of the rainy season, the rpesent administration cancelled several flood control projects”<br /><br /> Citing a Department of Public Works and Highways press release dated July 28, 2010, Suarez said DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson cancelled 19 approved negotiated projects worth P934.1 million under the POPSTRIP. The 19 are part of the 139 projects or 42 contract packages funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency loan for the urgent rehabilitation of flood control facilities worth P1.9 billion.<br /><br /> Suarez noted that the cancelled projects are located in areas recently flooded by recent typhoons. These are in Cordillera Administrative Region P53 million; Ilocos Norte, P35 million; Asingan, Pangasinan P91.4 million; San Manuel, Pangasinan P228 million; Cagayan P25.8 million; Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya P68.6 million; Kayapa and Dupax Nueva Vizcaya P27.4 million; Paombong and San Jose del Monte, Bulacan P9 million; Bulacan province P41 million; San Felipe and Iba, Zambales, P42.5 million; San Marcelino, Zambales, P19 million; Arayat, Pampanga, P77 million; Candaba, Pampanga, P78 million; Floridablanca, Pampanga P27 million; Guagua and Lubao, Pampanga, P16 million; Moncada and Bamban Tarclac P32 million; Aliaga, Nueva Ecija P18 million; Bungabon and San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija P19 million; and Balayan and Lemery, Batangas P22 million.<br /><br /> “One cannot help but think that if these projects were not capriciously cancelled on the sole fact that they were initiated by the previous administration, then the recent floodings could have been prevented or mitigated," Suarez said.

Our baby Pam who was then 7-month old woke up so early too. As originally planned, we trod the trail behind Tito Tom's house leading to the sea. The sound of the surf feels so good. The sea breeze is so fresh. Even at a young age, our baby already enjoyed herself observing the movements of the water. It was her second day of seeing the sea (the first ocassion is <a href="http://travelogue.digitalrebel.ws/2010/11/la-union-escapade-2010-day-1.html">here</a>) but it was just like another new experience for her. </p> <h2>On Waking Up in the Morning</h2> <p><a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs572.ash2/149473_452609114369_619219369_5675319_6058903_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1132.snc4/149473_452609119369_619219369_5675320_2493822_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1132.snc4/149473_452609124369_619219369_5675321_1288142_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1132.snc4/149473_452609129369_619219369_5675322_1971654_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1132.snc4/149473_452609134369_619219369_5675323_3825238_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs572.ash2/149473_452609144369_619219369_5675324_6562479_n.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQrUAwRsCHDU98T1QYHRzuaeBvGJ9TEOjR56-gQtceww85Sjvuy3v5UCLdWVRAASchn6QerKWMuyK6FulqHT3nXDpgDI7Q8T6C9ymFRTlJaqmsMTsBctUlb4RFnM5ssvRsuMKb/s1600/baby+Pam+and+Mama+taking+a+walk+along+the+beach.jpg" alt="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" /></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs572.ash2/149473_452609154369_619219369_5675327_991631_n.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaq8YumHYupe8Vsrx6C6wPr5Ul1uLRrz3IM0ckPUx_W_kHueW1xd2LptLc35ZuGFpKkn9-ryaC0Ui48ctRWH53kZnasak1NJRtfqfzNTFDClOUAh3DEsalu6t6iVGY8DX9DsxV/s1600/baby+Pam+lift+up.jpg" alt="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" /></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama taking a walk along the beach" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs572.ash2/149473_452609149369_619219369_5675325_6966000_n.jpg"></a> </p> <p>After we had our breakfast, everyone prepared to be going to the surfing event. Tito Tom's wife and daughters prepared the food that we can eat while watching the surfing event. Though the surfing event is just a walking distance away via the seashore, Tito Tom opted to transport us via his van and took the highway route instead. We also brought with us a few monobloc chairs that we could use in case we need those.</p> <h2>Scenes at the Surfing Break</h2> <p><a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama during the second day of the Surfing Break 5" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1132.snc4/149473_452609159369_619219369_5675328_7845643_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama during the second day of the Surfing Break 5" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs495.ash2/76806_452610164369_619219369_5675357_2159993_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama during the second day of the Surfing Break 5" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs995.snc4/76806_452610169369_619219369_5675358_6750533_n.jpg"></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="The cottage that the Glenn couple got for us at the Surfing event." href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs995.snc4/76806_452610179369_619219369_5675360_2020572_n.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx4BSbSwdqkPPQ1sT-ItForRWysD6wSxMoC0ww7wt2mBt8ugx3IreJ_GOUh586omvbNp2y18h3rayI2tri8j6DXBDACNBO5lp-YlAfRW5Xi_BeouBNnhyphenhyphen4gzTowEqbMbpXxTGQ/s1600/launion_cottage.jpg" alt="The cottage that the Glenn couple got for us at the Surfing event." /></a> <a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="baby Pam and Mama during the second day of the Surfing Break 5" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs995.snc4/76806_452610174369_619219369_5675359_6858148_n.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9CeI7sSdYbMokKCi0QsY5lAC2QGpIvjy4caNCvmVjgMu8d1-Le3AutM3sI8139PstHzvmhm1RO6SJdmcUrgpbYrBWOBToD3TKhFLGF5zh11zzeHEYGQPFwH2GN1opyUZkL2my/s1600/baby+Pam+and+Mama+at+the+surfing+break.jpg" alt="baby Pam and Mama during the second day of the Surfing Break 5" /></a></p> <p>Tito Tom get for us a rented cottage so we could stay at the whole event so comfortably.

I didn't bring any spare as I was using a 4GB compact flash card. I stopped taking photos right there and just enjoy myself looking at the sceneries with my naked eyes. Later in the evening, Tito Tom would give me a 2GB micro SD card so I could switch storage media and use the same CF card the following day.</p> <h2>La Union Sunset</h2> <p>The adventure didn't end up there as soon as we left the surfing event to go home. While there were more numbers for the event in the night time, we decided to call it finished and just enjoy the sunset from Tito Tom's abode. Tito Tom's veranda offers a great vantage point with an unobstructed view of watching the sun to settle down into the darkness of which is the China Sea. It is one of the natural occurencies you'll only find amazing and ponder about when you're comfortably seated on a rocking chair at Tito Tom's veranda.</p> <p><a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]"

<h2>My Blogroll is no longer working and I lost link to my friend's blog</h2> <p>I'd been using <strong>blogrolling.com</strong>'s link service and enjoyed the free service somehow for quite a few years. Then, after six years, six months, and five days of enjoying the service, blogrolling.com shut down the service without a deliberate notice aside from the notification they've posted in their blog. I was caught off-guard and now my links are nowhere to be found. On October 6, 2010 Blogrolling announced they would cease operation on November 1, 2010 but didn't offer an export option to extract the links. A tedious copy and paste must be done to get the links of which, unfortunately, I didn't have that much time to do it. Here's the screen capture of Blogrolling status after it shut down.</p> <p><a rel="lightbox[la_union_escapade_2010]" title="blogrolling screen capture" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKXH9W5PYCBo6AiOgDTg4kgaJ8jw7WU0S1BmG0HtH9GrDuZEGhvLeFIJvlZdiym5NEkCpeQ4wmxRcttEu-EqO6gSH7mKEiIVdf_6x-WGiWkgGbxd8xdRIo4DXQC4fmLmfF4j6/s1600/blogrolling+screencapture.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKXH9W5PYCBo6AiOgDTg4kgaJ8jw7WU0S1BmG0HtH9GrDuZEGhvLeFIJvlZdiym5NEkCpeQ4wmxRcttEu-EqO6gSH7mKEiIVdf_6x-WGiWkgGbxd8xdRIo4DXQC4fmLmfF4j6/s400/blogrolling+screencapture.jpg" alt="Blogrolling screen capture" /></a></p> <p>It reads as follow:</p> <blockquote> <h2>Blogrolling Has Ceased Operation</h2> <p><p><strong>The Blogrolling service is no longer available.</strong></p> <p>If your site is still using Blogrolling code you should see a blank space where your blogroll used to be.
