UPDATED: Bayanihan iPhone Project for Ondoy. Submitted.
Oct 5th
I am a programmer currently in Melbourne, Australia hoping to raise awareness for the victims affected by typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana-international name). Experiencing a flood is not new to me as I was born and raised in Tumana, Marikina, Metro Manila. I was in primary school, when I could vividly remember my mother cooking and serving porridge to typhoon victims as our backyard was called “high ground” since it is near the main road (JP Rizal).
I was in college when Tumana bridge was built and helped me travel from my house to the University. Unfortunately, the river would swell and the flood would swallow the whole bridge after 2-3 days of rain. I called my mother on Sept 27 and was informed the typhoon poured over a whole month of rain in just a few hours! Don’t worry my mother is fine, however, there are those who are unfortunate enough who desperately call for our help. In my small way by making this application, I would like to show my support for them.
I’m almost finished with the Bayanihan iPhone project which I worked on over the weekend. It is a very simple app with scrollable images. The server side is almost finished and would display how many supported/downloaded the application in real time. I am hoping to upload the server side to my Linode hosting in the US asap.
How can you help? I need pictures! Pictures from Tumana would be greatly appreciated, however, if you have other pictures, please do send them as well. I will be bundling 10 pictures inside the application. Please include your name, with subject: BAYANIHAN pix and send the pictures to my email address: rndguzmanjr@gmail.com
Hopefully I can submit the app to Apple within this week or early next week. Afterwards, we wait for the approval process within 2 weeks. Note, the app would be FREE.

Powerful Earthquake hits Chengdu until Beijing
May 13th
Ok am I dizzy? I was standing up and having a meeting with our senior executives on our 9th Floor ofc when I felt that I was moving sideways. Quite long though, I reckoned it was about a minute, and to think that Chengdu is about a 1000 miles away from Beijing (see image below). It was not as strong as the one posted on youtube, but strong enough for us to look at each others eyes and ask silently if you felt something.
Code Highlighter using Dean and Geshi

I have been using this plugin to highlight my code. Below is a list of all possible programming languages that geshi could parse.

Alas, I was able to fix the single quotes problem with the code inside the tags from this post. I also added the “&” patch especially for my cfm codes.
