Bon Jovi told me they couldn't find the icons on the viewer program.

I found out that the display settings were somehow "corrupted." It was set at VGA 16-colors!

When I switched it back to 800x600 256-colors, problem was solved.

I showed them how to change the resolutions by right clicking on the desktop icon on the system tray.

10 minutes (including 1 reboot)

Spent 3 hours trying to bypass WinXP's activation prompts to no avail, until I decided to activate by telephone.

I wonder how it would suddenly "FORCE" activation when it was newly installed just yesterday? I don't think Rico changed the date/time settings of the PC.

All those 3 hours wasted trying to "make way" for the mystery dynamic IP at the gateway.

Duh.

Topic: i-Solv Project
Despite my fever last night (11/3/2004), I couldn't help but examine the ERD given by i-Solv, and upon comparing it with the data_dictionary.xls printout, I found out a LOT of discrepancies.

I texted Mr. Alex Garcia about it, and he "explained" to me the functions of the two files, like I didn't know. ;-)

I clarified to him later what I found by texting him via CHIKKA but my message was blocked coz he didn't answer my 3 msgs. :-(

I told him:

Paano, sir, iyung sinasabi kong discrepancies? Baka pwede ninyo akong padalhan ng corrected version(s) ng ERD.JPG & data_dictionary.xls? example, consumer_meter_info. datadic.xls has no minimum_energy_kwh,coreloss,with_contract,etc...

"Now that Steve Ballmer and company have given you all the facts you need to compare Windows and Linux, allow me to add just one little tidbit.

"A few days ago, Ballmer published an 'executive letter' on Micrsoft's website in which he invited IT professionals to look at all the propaganda... oops, I mean facts Microsoft has assembled comparing open source and Windows platforms..."
