Happy Easter and I Think It's My Birthday

 Hi Reese

The renovations of the bathroom and the kitchen continues through the
holy week. M Roger is making sure the wall plaster is smooth. He finished
putting the black marble tiles on the tabletop. He's going to put the doors
to the bathroom tomorrow. It's Easter, no work. Oh by the way, it's my 
birthday too, I think. 

I woke up with the Salubong passing the house. I could hear the band 
playing a march. The siren is wailing. When I got downstairs mom is washing
clothes and Imee is preparing pasta for the spaghetti. 

I've been tinkering with my phone's lock screen security. There was a point
when I couldn't open the screen anymore. I had to ask for help with a 'forgotten
password' issue. They asked for my google authentication credentials then google
sends me a code through sms. My sms app is locked too. I can't get to the code. 

The smartphone is a remarkable technology. What if a machine can handle millions 
of calculations per second and store pictures, documents and everything else that
can be reduced to zeros and ones, share information with other machines, and last 
but not the least, be portable enough so you can put it in your pocket. What's more
remarkable is I get to live long enough to see it for real.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
