Specifically, I miss the feeling of creating apps that other people actually use. I just checked up on my old projects and find that they are still alive!

I put a lot of work into this app to make it uber flexible and uber scalable. It’s actually a mobile news service with unlimited keywords and categories.

And now as a web mirroring service:

Nice feelings. :)

Poster presentation last Feb 15-17 for the Philippine American Academy of Science and Engineering (PAASE) Annual PAASE Meeting and Symposium (APAMS) held at Century Park Hotel in Manila. The event was hosted by De La Salle University, with most of the research presented coming from that school. I was disappointed to see almost no posters from Ateneo. I saw a lot from UP and Mapua. The more interesting ones come for UP.

My research’s title is “Using the Border Gateway Protocol as Routing Data for Global Load Balancing”. It is a remake of my BS CS thesis with Clifford Ian G. Lim. I’m lucky to have work with talented and dedicated people such as Clifford, and our thesis adviser William Yu. Even after two (2) years this thesis was apparently still conference worthy, and still being used by Bitstop for eradioportal.com.

The weird part is, nobody wanted to continue this research. Sigh. Maybe a reason is that students want to create something new, and something to call their own. :D

Thanks to Ron for the photograph! :D
