Ikaw Na!
Sa Oryentasyon
Ilang oryentasyon na aking ginawa sa mga bagong pumapasok sa aming kumpanya. (mapaempleyado,partners o OJT). kung hindi mainam na nakikinig ang aking mga kausap malamang lamang sa kulitan natutuloy ang masayang oryentasyon. subalit isa sa mga binibigyan ko ng diin sa bawat ganitong pangyayari ay ang paggamit ng tama ng mga resources; maging oras man ang tinutukoy nito o mga gawaing hindi naman naaayon sa mga alituntunin ng isang kumpanya.
-ang pagdodownload ng kung ano ano sa internet ay malinaw o tahakang pagnanakaw
-ang pag pasok ng hapon at walang pasubali ay pag nanakaw ng oras -ang pagtutulog sa opisina sa oras ng trabaho
-ang pumasok para tumambay lamang ay isang pagnanakaw.
-ang paggamit ng mga office supplies sa walang kapararakang bagay ay pagnanakaw
Natutunan mo na dapat
Ang mga "basic" na itinuturo sa bahay at sa eskwelahan ay dapat natutunan na. Kung ang mga nakalista sa itaas ay mga gawaing dapat pang ipaalala sa iyo na hindi maganda at hindi nakakatulong sa pag unlad bagkos nagiging sanhi pa ng masamang halimbawa. malamang lamang talagang balasubas ka na. Kaya nga lagi kong pinapaalala sa bawat isa sa amin
-Gumawa ng mga kakaiba at espesyal na bagay na dapat ang mga gawain ito ay mananatiling buhay maging milya milyang dekada man ang dumating. -Dapat ang mga bagay na ito ay pagsasalusaluhan ng lahat
-Isaalang-alang ang pagrespeto at pag-galang sa mga oras ng iyong mga kasama (wow basic = ) ).
-Sa pag gawa ng mga magagandang bagay na ito dapat alalahahin ang tamang pag gamit ng resources at hindi lalagpas sa budget.
Ikaw na
At pinakamasakit pa dito pag hindi ka pa nagdeliver ng mga inaasahan sa iyo. ika nga ni Kuya Boy, IKAW NA!

Kalingap Health Apps at the Intel TechCARE Event
Yesterday (May 24, 2012), at the Intel TechCARE event held at Max's, San Fernando Pampanga, some 80 Health Care practitioners from 24 Hospitals and Providers coming from cities and towns of Bataan, Pampanga and Bulacan converged to be adept of how technology can allow them to provide and deliver the best possible healthcare to their patients.
And though the issue of health and health care is a really a serious topic of discussion, Intel Philippines and its event partners and speakers from Medilink, Infoworx (Digiworx) and 8layer Technologies, gave the attendees an enjoyable and relevant experience of which we wish they will imbibe in them as they pursue their passion of taking care of our health.

Transcending the Value of 8layer Job Orientation
With too many IT students looking for a haven where they can find relevant learning, prepare them for the real world and take a step into the practice of professionalism, 8layer finds it hard to trim down candidates and accept only a few.
This summer, we got our room and hands full with about 10 Job Trainees from PUP Sta Mesa, AMA, TIP and Divine Word College of Calapan, Mindoro and plunge into the 8layer Job Experience encapsulated in 250 hours or so.
But before they get started in getting their hands dirty with hardware and network nitty-gritty, minds boggled with programming and agile framework concepts and firmed to enhance confidence in public speaking, each individual must go through the 8layer Orientation.
Aside from merely introducing our company; people, process, rationale and culture plus our special way of welcoming newcomers, we regard the Job Orientation as a major element of becoming part of the team to make sure that each one is aligned to understanding what it is to become an 8lien.
For information and inquiries on our OJT/ Inernship program please email us @careers-at-8layertech-dot-com.
Operation Occupy 8OHQ
They are the enthusiastic and future IT practitioners and professionals from the University of San Carlos, Cebu City. This was the same time that most of us were just coming back from the Intel Negosyantech Event (Legaspi Leg) so it was Dondi and Jasper’s turn to walk them through KahelOS for these students to have a hands on experience with Linux and Open Source.
Part of their objective was to have a feel and sense of how an Open Source IT Company runs and operates and basically what are the services that 8layer offers.
The Cebuanos came at around 10:30 in the morning, toured the office, listened and participated to the seminar especially prepared for them for two hours. Before they left with the 8layer Experience on our community projects, advocacy and work, they also got home with them KahelOS CD Installers for them to tinker and play around.
It was a really pleasant, meaningful and joyous anniversary bonding that started at merienda through dinner. #8liensunite. Padayon at ipagpatuloy ang ningas ng ating samahan at pinagsasamahan.
Here are some of 8layertech Milestones.
- We launched Kasosyo Network and Kasosyo Apps Suite for the FIlipino Entrepreneurs with a huge support from Intel Philippines. Kasosyo Apps is being presented and marketed through the Intel Negosyatech endeavor.
- Our process and work will focus on Agile Marketing and Development
What to Expect from Team 8layer this year.
-Focus and with concrete IT programs for Microentrepreneurs and SME’s
-Making IT work for all Filipinos
-Strong Partnership with other local companies.
Team 8layer wishes to signify our warm gratitude to our friends, families and to our dear supported for the belief in our firm passion to express our fondness for innovation.

Neighbour table overflow
After implementing a network gateway and firewall server solution to one of our clients having 500+ users, we encountered “Neighbour table overflow” error upon checking of the server logs.
This is the command to view server logs:
$sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
Mar 30 10:39:25 www kernel: Neighbour table overflow. Mar 30 10:39:30 www kernel: printk: 7 messages suppressed. Mar 30 10:39:30 www kernel: Neighbour table overflow. Mar 30 10:39:36 www kernel: printk: 4 messages suppressed. Mar 30 10:39:36 www kernel: Neighbour table overflow. Mar 30 10:39:40 www kernel: printk: 10 messages suppressed. Mar 30 10:39:40 www kernel: Neighbour table overflow. Mar 30 10:39:45 www kernel: printk: 12 messages suppressed. Mar 30 10:39:45 www kernel: Neighbour table overflow. Mar 30 10:39:50 www kernel: printk: 24 messages suppressed. Mar 30 10:39:50 www kernel: Neighbour table overflow.
This message indicates that the server is too busy processing some firewall rulesets.
The immediate and rational solution that we opted is to increase the internal ARP cache size of the server and DNS threshold for ARP.
At the console, edit sysctl.conf
$sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf
Append the following values:
# Force gc to clean-up quickly
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_interval = 3600
# Set ARP cache entry timeout
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_stale_time = 3600
# Setup DNS threshold for arp
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 2048
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 1024
To make sure that the solution is working, load the new changes using sysctl command.
$sudo sysctl -p
Upon several tests, the solution proved to work.

The Easy and Affordable Way To Reach Your Business Goals, FAST!
Last Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at Island Cove in Kawit, Cavite, the Kasosyo Apps Suite was formally launched to the business owners in the INTEL Philippines' event dubbed as Intel NegosyanTech.
8layer Technologies, the developer of the Kasosyo Apps Suite, shares the intent of Intel Philippines through their Intel Negosyantech endeavor to assist every entrepreneur via relevant and affordable technology solutions in doing business. Mr. Carlo Subido, Business Development Manager of Intel Philippines is the program proponent of Intel Negosyantech.
During the event, Deng Silorio, the Head of Marketing of 8layer Technologies, introduced the Kasosyo Apps Suite, as she encouraged each business owner to empower oneself using the potential of IT Tools.
Understanding the psyche of an individual business owner was not among the motivation of 8layer's Kasosyo Apps Suite but as we say, it is that compelling drive to provide the entrepreneur that confidence of being able to see the bottomline at the end of every business day.
This has been manifested during the DEMO of the Kasosyo Apps by Mr. Rey Portugal-Head of Reaserch and Development of 8layer Technologies, as he was assisted by our Ms. Rosa Tsang - Project & QA Manager. Kuya Rey and Ate Rosa, demonstrated the flow and ease of use of the application and how one can instantly see the sales, expenses, inventory and cash flow at a glance.
The Basic Kasosyo Apps Suite is comprised of four modules: Inventory, Purchase, Invoice and Cash Flow.
As a Kasosyo to every passionate and talended Filipino entreprenuer, we want to be that business partner who brings to the table a special factor to achieve success, i.e. more time for family, resources to pay for utilities, children's tuition fees, and that needed vacation for the family, too.
The Kasosyo Apps Suite embodies that character of an ideal Kasosyo (Business Partner); Reliable (Maaasahan), Expert (May Kagalingan), Easy to be with (Madaling pakisamahan), and Nurturing Growth (Mapagkalinga).
With all the passion, the effort to make the apps easy to use and serve its purpose, the next important question is: Is this Kasosyo Apps Suite affordable?
Because it is powered by KahelOS, no entrepreneur has to pay for the operating system. The Kasosyo Apps Suite is pre-installed and configured on KahelOS and this implies that the business user can enjoy the benefits of free applications to surf the internet, send emails, type documents, play music and video etc. These were also discussed by no less than 8layer's CEO, Meric Mara to the attendees of the event.
Obviously, the long wait for an easy, affordable and reliable business apps suited for the Filipino Entrepreneur is over. With the overwhelming support and belief of Intel Philippines, Kasosyo Apps Suite is bundled with the powerful Intel processors to their Intel Negosyantech Investment Packages.
With the Kasosyo Apps suite, imagine a country harnessing the entrepreneurial spirit of its micro and small businesses.

Adding a dash of Mint on my freshly squeezed KahelOS
I’m such an “eventous” person and because today is Rizal Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizal_Day and 2012 is just around the corner let me just add to my KahelOS[1] experimentation before i wrap up my 2011.
Guess what, I tried installing Linux Mint[2] desktop environment called Cinnamon[3] on my KahelOS 111111. They say that this desktop is designed to offer yet another transitional option between the old, familiar GNOME 2 and the new GNOME 3 on which its new version 1.1.2 just released before Christmas http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=53
And yes to my suprise, it was quite quick and easy to just see a new desktop environment (that is Cinnamon) on my KahelOS Desktop.
Here are some of my screenshots after the fresh install (for i still need to do more exploring before i say more about this experience):
To share with you on how i just easily did this. Here’s a short guide below.
1.Installing cinnamon desktop
Make sure that yaourt and pkg-config is installed on your KahelOS, so you can do that by invoking this command.
$sudo pacman -Sy yaourt pkg-config
Once these software is already installed, then install the cinnamon desktop.
$sudo yaourt -S –noconfirm cinnamon
2. Abilitate/ Activate Cinnamon
by simply opening a terminal and launch “dconf-editor”
a pop up will appear, click org–>gnome–>desktop–>session
then change “session-name” value from “gnome to “cinnamon” then close dconf-editor window.
3.Restart your KahelOS, log-in on your desktop and voila! there’s your new desktop environement.
For me, my experimentation tells me that KahelOS with Cinnamon is a combination of awesomeness and speed! I’ll keep you posted.
Be a hero every like Rizal (Philippines’ National Hero) and Wishing you all an Awesome and Prosperous New Year!

What is KahelOS?
KahelOS is based on Arch Linux.
KahelOS is the first and remains to be the only Filipino Linux Distro with the rolling release model on Arch Linux + GNOME. In the community, it is the first to release (non-beta) such Linux OS on Arch Linux + GNOME.
KahelOS is not just an Operating System so to speak. IT is not just a Technology Product on a Linux and Open Source Platform added to the thousands of FREE Distros already available in the community. IT does not explicitly want to be different or to be set apart from the rest. However, among others, we simply would like KahelOS (just like our team) to be the embodiment of our IT Values and Philosophy.
It is also a gift and a manifestation of the collaborating Filipino spirit that believes in the competence of the Global IT Community.
As an open source software, KahelOS shall therefore maintain to remain free of charge with an active community to support it.
The term kahel is the Tagalog/ Filipino word for the color or fruit "orange".
Depicting fun, energy, fresh and flamboyant; KahelOS, its team and community, would like to imbibe the aura and ambiance of warmth and being sociable.
Kahel also signifies hunger or thirst for knowledge and new things as the color orange is a stimulus affecting both mind and body,for doing more activities, having the appetite and socialization.

How to change your Firefox 8 default page.
Let me cite one example.
I wanted to provide a subtle but implicit recall of our corporate values and identity to each of our team in the office. Since we do much work in our PC's (desktop and laptops), i thought of an ingenious way to remind them everyday of our primal existence.
So what i did was to do some configuration tweak of the Mozilla Firefox and integrate to make default our webpage at the initialization of each of their browsers.
There are actually two ways that i would like to share with you on how you can do it for your organization, if you think this is something useful.
1. Changing the default page with the use of the about:config feature/setting
In my case, i was using these components:
KahelOS
Firefox 8.0.1
to set www.8layertech.com, to be the default page.
Steps:
1.Open your firefox browser
2.type about:config at the address bar.
Then it will prompt you with this screen.
3.Then search on the filter bar "browser.startup.homepage"
4.Change the value to your desired "default" page (eg www.8layertech.com)
5. Restart firefox and you will see that the default page is now set to yur desired page.
Simple as that!
More of about:config check this site http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
2. Changing the default page for more users than just one desktop.
In our case, since i wanted to change the default page for all users, the steps below may well serve this purpose.
1. Using your favorite editor (such as gedit or vi), copy this;
[XRE]
EnableProfileMigrator=false
and then save it as override.ini to create this file
2.Next, copy this content:
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
save this file as local-settings.js
3.Then, copy this file content:
//Firefox 8 Default Settings
pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.8layertech.com");
and then save it as mozilla.cfg
4. locate /usr/lib/firefox/ either at your file explorer or at your console and then copy the mozilla.cfg and override.ini that you just created.
5.then locate /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/ either at your file explorer or at your console and copy local-settings.js that you also created.
6.finally, start up your Firefox browser and see what happens.

R.I.P Tito Restie/Amang Restie
Sino ang Paborito kong Tito?
Okay lang ba na may Pabrito akong Tito?
Matagal tagal din at binata na ako ng muli kong maitanong sa aking sarili ito at nasagot. Si Tito Restie at OO pwedeng pwede
Mabuting Tito
Kaninang Umaga laking gulat ko nang makatangap ako ng SMS sa aking Ina; "Patay na Tito Restie mo atake sa puso...." Bigla akong napaupo at tila namatay sa sobrang panghihina. Todo-todong panlalamig sa aking katawan ang aking naramdaman, nagmistulang sanggol na tila walang salitang lumalabas sa aking labi,namamanhid ang aking mga kamay, nanginginig at mga luha at tila bagang ikinukubli ko ito at pinipigilan ang pagpatak. Bigla akong nawala sa wisyo..wala na si Tito Restie...
Bigla mo pala talaga maalala ang mga araw kasama sya... nagbalik tanaw sa akin ang mga eksena ng aking kabataan. Kay Tito Resti ako natuto at nasilayan ang payak na buhay at ang buhay MANGINGISDA. Magsagwan at mamangka ng walang katig, Ang mangisda at manghuli ng hipon sa ilog, ang manghuli o manukot ng alimango gamit ang kapirasong bakal na panukot at itak,ang magtuba sa sasahan, ang mang-uwit ng mga tilapya at bangus sa palaisdaan, ang magdala sa draga, ang mapuyat at magbanat ng buto para lang maitaguyod nya ang kanyang pamilya at masustentuhan ang aming bakasyon tuwing panahon ng tag-init o summer-break. Ganun sya kasipag...ganun nya ako tinuturuan ng mga bagay bagay at pagdiskarte sa buhay.Ang paano mabuhay na merong kakapirangot na mga kagamitan na sasapat na dapat upang mabuhay, kadalasan nabibilang lamang na pwedeng pagkuhanan ng ikalalaman ng tyan at pagtustos sa pag-aaral. Hindi ko din maikakaila ang mga panahon na kailangan naming manghuli ng mga palaka at dagang bukid para lang may ulamin kami pagsapit ng pagdulog sa aming hapag-kainan. Siya din ang nagturo sa aking magmaneho noon gamit ang kanyang L3 na bigay ng aming lolo. Ganun sya naging abala sa akin...sa amin sa pagtuturo noong ako'y bata pa.Nandyan din na lagi nya akong pinagtatangol sa aking mga tiyuhin at ama o mga nakakatanda sa panahong may mga huntahan sa aming mga pamilya. Walang bahid at patuloy syang sumusuporta para sa aming paglago.
Naniniwala ako na dala-dala ko ang mga ilan dito upang magturo din sa mga sumusunod na kabataan sa akin. Isang Mabuting Tihuyin ang Tito Restie na tila aking pangalawang ama at ramdam ko iyon noong panahong sya ay buhay pa. Sya'y Isang HUWARAN.
Kamakailan lang, isang taon pa lang ang nakakalipas nang namatay din ang nag-iisang anak nina Tito Restie at Tita Meng na si Ato. Tandang tanda ko pa ang mga pagpapagal at pagpapakahirap ni Tito Restie nun... walang tulugan at laging puyat wag lang bitawan ang mga pangako sa anak na magiging mabuti syang Ama at kasama nya ito kahit sa huling hantungan. Kahit Magparoot Parito ay hindi mo kakikitaan ng pagsuko. Kahit nababanaag mo na ang pagbagsak ng mga mata sa pagpupuyat at pag-iisip walang ininda at inaksayang panahon makita lamang ang kanyang anak at mabigyan ng tamang katahimikan at maayos na burol. Kahit noong bata pa si Ato nakikita ko ang hindi pagsuko ni Tito Restie na pagsabihan at pangaralan si Ato sa kanyang mga kamalian, pagtahak sa tama ng landas. Patuloy ang kanyang pagbabanat din ng buto maitaguyod lang ang anak nyakasama na ng pagtataguyod ng kanyang mga Apo. Isang Mabuting Ama ang aking si Tito Restie.
Labis akong nagluluksa sa pagkawala ni Tito Restie, nabawasan kami ng isang Mabuti at huwarang kasapi ng Pamilya. Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan ang mga aral na ibinigay at ipinama nya sa akin. Mananatiling Buhay ito... Pangako Tito ko!
