Digital Clock Screen Saver

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. 
John Lennon 



(updated as of January 7, 2022)


Rejoice! This Fliqlo digital screensaver is actually available too for iOS and MacOS platforms.

Here's the link where you can download 'em: https://fliqlo.com/

Take note, the app is Free for Macbooks (macOS), while it's $0.99 for iOS devices. To see it in action, here's a 35 second movieclip i made, notice how it flips at the end. There's also a sound effect while flipping (it wasn't captured in the video because of the rain-windy noise).

Enjoy!!!

After a long hiatus of setting my window's screensaver  settings to none, i've finally fallen inlove once again to customize and tweak this innate mise en scène of windows 7.

I normally leave my laptop on idle mode 24/7 (ofcourse with the battery pulled out) with my desktop black solid background on view, so i decided to plug in a digital clock screensaver. 

I didn't get a hard time fishing those free apps that render minimalist output esp with a digital clock (thanks to Lifehacker and 9031.com). We know for sure that clicking those google results that links to free screensavers are just usable in a certain period of time unless you're going to buy the full version later. 

With this free download from 9031, the Fliqlo clock (click the link to download) will give you a deadset satisfaction esp if you believe in the concept and benefits of being a minimalist style.

The DL is available for Mac and Windows only. Go check it out here.

Facebook for iPhone update (3.3.2)




If you haven't updated yet your Apple gizmos app - Facebook for iPhone/iPod/iPad,  then hit up the App Store on your device and it should give you a badge telling that Facebook app needs to be updated.




You need not to log-in anymore to facebook.com just to access your Account Settings & Privacy Settings because it's now all in the convinience convenience of your favorite iPhone app - Facebook for iPhone. This for sure is a great leap update for the app, i myself has been constantly eager to tinker settings whenever i'm using my smartphone - saving me the need to open a browser and manipulate the list of privacy settings.

I was foiled though given the fact that this update has nothing to do with the "Gmail Killer"- the imminent integration release of facebook's Project Titan: solved to conquer and battle with Google's gmail product.

Suffice to say, i'm happy with this update!

Kenny Rogers

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. 





I know there's no way to go by posting this without me sounding emo or mushy (no pun intended), but really it isn't my intention and resolve. It's just that it feels good in listening to this song. 



It's a beautiful song for your heart. Ain't it?

How to run the Blackberry Self Test?

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. 





For those who belong to the BB Team, here's a hidden app on your smartphone that you'll find useful esp when you're at  wits end in sorting out if the problem is a hardware or software.

There's actually a self test feat of this sleek and beautiful phone, whatever model you've got, as long as you're running a software version of 4.something or later, then you can run this hidden app from your phone.

Here's how:

1. Click on OPTIONS icon from the homescreen
2. Scroll down all the way to STATUS, then click it
3. Once you're on the status screen, just type TEST from your keypad and it should bring up the menu for the self-test application.
4. Select Start, and you're good to go, you must see something like this:








It's kinda helpful and could provide insights to better judgment from current issues you're experiencing at hand.

One of the downside though that pisses me off, the test is INTERACTIVE, all i thought before was, it could run on its own, however, you must need to attend to it and answer with a yes or no for the tests that you selected to run, this of course is based on your perception whether the output was satisfied as desired by the instructions given.

Go see it for yourself!!!

Let me know your thoughts if you found it useful thru the comments.
