Gavin is serious about learning to blow a candle. Thing is, he blows air upwards to his hair and not to the candle. He still has 6 months to practice before his 2nd birthday.

First Impressions of Safari for Windows
I immediately downloaded and installed Safari 3 public beta for windows after reading the article at News.com. The first thing that struck me was the increased screen space available for browsing. I like the way it reduced the typical browser elements. The first thing I wanted to change was the proxy server settings. It was disabled in this version. I wanted to disable the font smoothing as it was giving me a headache. Sadly, the you can only select Light, Medium or Strong. What happened to Off? I tried out all 3 but could not find an acceptable option. I'm going back to Firefox after this post because my head is aching. Hopefully the next version of Safari corrects these options and I can continue trying out Safari.

First Furniture
Our first piece of furniture was delivered and installed today! We bought the mirror and the matching console at Excellasia at Megamall. Our dining table from Klapp Stuhl will be arriving in 4 weeks. All we need now is to furnish the living room. We'll go to Kalookan furniture street to scout for the home.

Crawling and Taste Tests
Gavin is the little explorer in the house, crawling into every nook and cranny. His exploration also includes tasting everything he touches.

First Solid Food
"I can't wait to have my first bite! How do I open this thing? Does solid food really taste like this?"

Kitchen ready for cabinets!
One more week to go! The renovation is on its final stretch. The painting and installation of fixtures is more satisfying work. Knocking down masonry and replacing rotten wood is a thankless job.

Floors Finally!
The granite tiles on the living room are finally being laid out. It's been 4 weeks since we started doing the house renovation. The past weeks were spent preparing the floors and replacing rotten ceilings and gutters. More electrical outlets are being placed. We should be moving in by Nov 28!

Growth Spurt
It just struck me as I was browsing my blog that Gavin grew so much. I remembered I recently took a picture of Caitlin and Gavin again side by side so I decided to place them side by side for comparison.

Picasaweb
Took some pictures of Gavin right after his morning bath. He loves baths ever since he was born. He has never cried during a bath. I've posted a couple of pictures via picasaweb, a beta version of Google's photo manager. Attached is the link to an album.

My N80!
Finally got my wife's N80 last Friday (Aug 18) so I traded the 9300 communicator that I have been using for this gadget. My wife used to have a 9210 and likes the communicator form factor for use at work. Transferring my phone data via PC Suite was seamless and had absolutely no problems.
The killer features of the N80 are its 3 megapixel camera and wifi capability. I immediately installed Mobipocket reader (www.mobipocket.com) and Opera Mini. The audio from the MP3 player and FM radio sound really great with the included headphones. So far the S60 platform (the N80's operating system) looks well designed for productivity and ease of use. I'll post an entry later about the applications on the phone that I find most useful. Now, if only Skype or Google Talk voice were available.

Skype on Nokia Phones
I hope Skype for Nokia S60 phones arrives very soon. There was a news article last Feb 2006 showing a screenshot of a Nokia phone actually running Skype. I'll be using an N80 pretty soon and wish I could use Skype when it arrives.

Web Mashup - Netvibes
To quote from wikipedia, "A mashup is a website or web application that uses content from more than one source to create a completely new service. Content used in mashups is typically sourced from a third party via a public interface or API. Other methods of sourcing content for mashups include Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom) and JavaScript."
My favorite start page, Netvibes, has added a couple of features that enables useful information from different sites to be displayed in a single page. In this case, I created a tab named "PIM", showing 4 things: a To Do List, a Notepad, my schedule from Google Calendar and my online file storage at box.net. I can actually upload a file to my box.net online storage from the netvibes page. Personalization has really gone a long way thanks to web standards.
My primary use for Netvibes is still to collect news feeds from selected sites. This works very well for my daily skimming.
If you still haven't tried Netvibes (www.netvibes.com), I suggest you go out and try it. I can share my news feeds and panes if you're interested. Don't forget to check out the free 1G online storage box.net.
