I’m taking a break from studying accounting, my Longtest is later this evening at 6pm and I’m not entirely sure if I’m ready for it. I wanted to study right after my Saturday class but Meralco was really great at their services and it took them two hours to get electricity flowing to my street.
I spent my whole Sunday studying with little one hour breaks to watch a Heroes episode since there was a marathon on Star World. I actually missed church to study for it!
Well while I was on my downtime I found these two great Mac applications, they are essentially the same, they mostly differ in appearance. They’re called Lockdown and iAlertu, both are anti-theft applications made for your macbook or macbook pro. Laptop theft was a recent popular discussion over at Philmug Forums and it really got me scared since I usually hang out at one of the restaurants and coffee shops along Katipunan Avenue. This application (along with a cable lock) has given me some sort of relief to lessen the chances of someone stealing my precious Anita. The only problem now is when I’m within campus where POP and SMTP are blocked in the school’s wifi networks preventing these said apps from sending me a picture of the robber. I’m still looking for a way around that but here’s a video to help demonstrate iAlertu (I haven’t found a demonstration of lockdown yet).

I’ve always liked
Gelaskins. I first heard about them from the people at the
Philmug forums and thought their designs we’re exquisite. I’ve been looking for something to hide my macbook, Anita’s age cracks and scratches for a while and I thought this would be the perfect solution. I originally wanted oe of the Van Gogh designs but they we’re hard to find and I didin’t like how they stood out from the macbook as if it wasn’t part of the macbook at all. I wanted something that melds with my white macbook’s design while screaming out my artistic nature. Thankfully, Gelaskins has designs by
Nanami Cowdroy. The only problem now is, Gelaskins for macbook’s are hard to find in my country.
This is where the beauty of web 2.0 and Multiply’s popularity comes in handy. I found an online local seller who sells limited stocks of gelaskins! The transaction was super easy! I simply deposited the payment into her account called her up and in two days my gelaskin came in the mail! It was that quick! It wasn’t expensive either Compared to the alternative which is Gmasks (with their boring photoshop brushed designs) that cost almost 3000 php, Gelaskins fromt his destributor only cost 1000 php thats a good deal! Now Anita looks so beautiful and no one would think she’s already two years old!
If you wanna get your own gelaskin and you live in the Philippines check out Shop Skins Online and buy one while there are designs to choose from!
