I am testing something. You can ignore this if you like.
Or don’t, I’m not your mom.
Stay at home and wash your hands!

Repost from tonyocruz:
It is easier and natural for tyrants to impose a lockdown and a curfew than to provide what’s really needed:
-
free mass testing
-
more funds for public health
-
more public health workers
-
adequate facilities for patients

Flashmob Beethoven.
This is lovely. Despite everything, some things still move the soul. Watch out for the children conducting on lampposts & the smile on the violinist’s face as the music ends.

These notes from a UCSF panel are the single best document I’ve seen about what experts believe is likely to happen this year.
I don’t want to tweet snippets because you should read it in full.

FIVE. PER. TRAIN. !!!
Quoted otherswimmerpls's tweet:This morning, I decided I’d ride MRT3/@dotrmrt3 going to work, a long queue welcomed me, they were implementing the “only 5” passengers allowed per train policy for social distancing purposes, after staying in the line for 45 minutes, I decided to transfer to LRT1.
I decided to check for “mrt social distancing” on twitter and found conflicting reports. Some say its 10 per train, some say its 5-6 per train door, etc. Most likely walang consistent policy. The only sure thing is mahaba ang pila sa labas ng mga station

Even if you are “safe”, please still practice social distancing so as not to spread the disease to more vulnerable people and to avoid overwhelming our healthcare system
Quoted kristinesabillo's tweet:Calm down everyone! Remember COVID-19 cases are 80% mild. Experts have repeatedly said that if you are a healthy individual you are safe. There is no use worrying too much. Focus on staying healthy. Wash your hands (studies have shown this helps reduce disease infection).

Interesting times indeed

Luckily I started practicing social distancing four years ago

I mean, overcrowding shouldn’t be allowed regardless of outbreaks

This social distancing is challenging for the frugal commuter; the choice is like P150 grab/taxi or P9 for a jeep full of other people. The hot weather this week doesn’t help

Reply to mariachong's tweet:
@mariachong This reminds me of a parable about a man who turns away rescuers several times because he says god will save him and when he dies he asks god why he didnt save him and god is like “what are you talking about I sent so many rescuers to you”. Well not that exact wording/story lol
@mariachong I mean, if you have so much faith in God why not believe that he can save us through science and other people

“I’ll be fine because ncov is only lethal to those with pre-existing conditions or sa matatanda”,
“Sana tinignan nyo muna ang plate number bago nyo pinaulanan ng bala”,
“Sabi ng lola ko ok naman daw sila nung martial law”
Similar energy.

Oh wow. The linked article says PH card holders are the hardest hit, yet no word on any response from PH institutions. Better monitor your card transactions closely in the coming months…
Quoted miithinks's tweet:The PH is one of the worst hit, and CIMB bank is also on of those cited for having data leaked. CIMB is Gcash/Gsave.
Uh. What do we do? O_O;

@paulnotpaulie thanks for the feedback! I’ll probably be adding you to the blogroll in an update as well, soonish

What if the coronavirus is part of the earth’s immune response aimed at getting us to quit all our carbon generating flights
-
Summary:
- I’m kind of in-between things at the moment, so I’m exploring various personal projects and things I’d like to be doing.
- Work/employment is not a priority.
Current Location:
- still living in Quezon City, Philippines.
Work
- I still work part-time as a software developer/technical lead/system architect consultant, with the emphasis on part-time.
- No specific clients I care to mention, though it’s easy to find out if you dig around a bit.
- I am very picky with taking on new work, and I usually have very few hours I’m willing to dedicate to any one client, and will usually prefer interesting work. I don’t consider work nor full-time employment to be an important part of my identity and it is definitely not a priority.
- Nonetheless, if you have a work opportunity you feel I might like, feel free to contact me, maybe we’ll get lucky.
How am I spending my time
- I’m working on multiple personal projects, most of which I don’t want to talk about. The only public one is this website/blog. I write as often as I can and am constantly trying to update this site to make it better or more to my liking.
- I try not to go out and about Metro Manila too much, as I hate the traffic, but if you are an old friend I haven’t seen in a while, feel free to ping me
- I still do a lot of gaming
- I watch a lot of TV and movies
- I still do quiz nights, a few times a month

Repost from Robbotron:
This is my favourite gaming fact:
In Fallout 3, the game couldn’t support a train for the player to ride in, but it could make NPCs walk - so the devs made the train a hat.
This guy wanders around beneath the ground, wearing his Train Hat, just being public transport.

Repost from gideonlasco:
When I see the Senate hearings on the #ABSCBNShutdown, I see so much time, energy, and resources being wasted because of the president’s petty vindictiveness.
We deserve a leader that’s concerned about how we can lift our nation up - not about how he can pull his enemies down.

I had one semester where I was totally irresponsible and failed all but one of my classes. I’m lucky I didnt get kicked out of engineering

Thanks!

I mean, that’s exactly what my debug-messages-accidentally-deployed-to-production would look like so I didn’t really pay attention to it.
