Here are the updated Barry Fedora 12 RPMs for Barry.
Hope this helps someone.
It is interesting to read all the hoopla about the Apple iSlate (or Apple iPad or Macbook Touch). Considering there are already quite a good number of players in this space.
The gadget, which online pundits have at different times christened the iTablet and the iSlate, is to have a 10-inch to 11-inch touch screen, a bit smaller than those on Apple’s MacBook laptops but larger than the iPhone’s, said the Journal, citing unnamed people briefed on the matter.
But, Apple isn’t going to just release a me too right? Its always something a bit better. Sexy Portable Music Player + Music Store = iPod, Sexy Mobile Phone + Touch + AppStore = iPhone, Sexy Tablet + ??? = iSlate?
I have a few guesses:
Other guesses?
I just had an interesting conversation last weekend with some relatives of mine who have just recently entered the Philippine BPO space. We were talking about interesting market opportunities as well as potential of the market. The Philippines is seeing a big business process outsourcing boom in the last decade. All major North American call center operators have setup shop here in the Philippines from Sykes, Convergys, Teletech, People Support and many others.
Then, a few hours latter I bump into an interesting twist to the BPO game:
OnState’s Skype Call Center provides enterprise-class customer communication management features and capabilities at an industry-redefining value and ease of administration. … you get all of the enterprise call center capability and sophistication without the hassle and cost. Key customer service capabilities such as skills-based routing, customer segmentation and detailed reporting and analytics are included. And of course, our Skype call center is multi-modal. Your customers can choose to contact you through their medium of choice, via phone, mobile phone, from your website, via chat, leave a voicemail message, or automatically schedule a callback. On your end, your call center agents and employees only need a web browser, a landline, or a mobile phone. The OnState Skype Call Center solution is a 100% web-based application requiring no hardware or software installation.
Now, this is a good example of a pure play Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. Maybe, we can call this one a Call Center as a Service (CCaaS). The benefits of a CCaaS approach is pretty clear. This reduces the barrier to entry for potential call center customers as it does not require the significant amount of capital expenditure for hardware and software in a typical traditional BPO setup. I have seen a number of Philippine-based offerings like this for the medical transcription space. This is one of the first in the call center space. It would be interesting to see what other interesting models evolve in the Philippine BPO space and how they solve the challenge of keeping up good quality of service while offering a significant degree of service differentiation.
I can’t seem to find Fedora 11 packages for jpype (a nice Python-Java bridge). So I built one myself. If anybody else needs it here they are:
Enjoy!
I can’t seem to find Fedora 11 packages for sympy (symbolic algebra package from Python). So I built one myself. If anybody else needs it here they are:

Here are the pre-final grades for CS 262 this school year. The performance was relatively good. Please take note that quizzes and assignments account for 30% of your final grade while long exams, projects and lab exercises account for the 70% balance.
Don’t panic if you see a low grade on the column for total. This assumes you get ZERO in the final long exam. So those who have good grades even without the final exam stand a good chance of getting great grades at the end of the semester.
Good luck on your final exams!
Due to some minor problems created when moving to GCC 4 for newer versions of Linux Distributions, this release introduces some patches to fix these problems. The binaries and sources can be found here:

Here is a link to the article from Techcrunch. So it involves updating your iPhone 3G to 2.2 (Baseband 02.28.00), getting both quickpwn to jailbreak your iPhone and then using the iPhone Dev-Team’s yellowsn0w to set your iPhone 3G free!
It has been quite sometime since I blogged. But, here are three flickr links to some pictures I took during some of my latest trips within the year. There could be more but I have yet to sort them out.
Enjoy!
The project called Barry is pretty vital to me as a BB user. Unfortunately, it does not have Fedora 9 binaries yet and does not build nicely too. So, I took the liberty of building them.
Here they are for download:
And the source RPM can be found here:
And here is the patch that makes it build for Fedora 9 if you get ‘memset’, ’sort’, ’strlen’ not found errors.
Hope this helps someone.
