However! … Google does provide a way to reset the Google Apps administrator password … the same way you would reset any other administrator password if you weren’t a GoDaddy customer. It’s rather simple, go to:

Replace example.com with your own domain name.

I still don’t know why they wouldn’t make this apparent. It is either a test … or a TRAP!

First off, you will need to add community package called Packman. So fire up the YaST Control Center (Computer -> YaST -> Software Repositories).

Now add the Packman community repository (click on Add button on the lower left). Check the Community Repositories radio button. In the new screen, scroll down and check the Packman repository.

You will be prompted to import a key. Choose Import.

With the repository added, we now need to install the driver (Computer -> Install Software).

Search for broadcom in the search box and check broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop. Once installed, restart your system and proceed with configuring your wireless connection

Yes it’s apparently real and unequivocally awesome.

I have never cared for Filipino politics. The modern day Filipino political scene is corrupt, petty … and resembles a Filipino Hollywood than it does an institution working for the people. Growing up as a young boy was different. When I came into this world, Marcos’ dictatorship had just ended. The Philippines had hope … and a face that it could proudly show to the world that after centuries of colonialism … that yes we are Filipino and yes we are free. Rest in peace Cory Aquino. Your country owes you a debt that can only be repaid by being good stewards of a gift you have given. I can only hope that the Filipino people step back and reflect on the kind of leadership the Filipino people need and deserve.

Below is a short excerpt of a 1996 TIME article that made Cory Aquino the 1986 Woman of the year.

Less than 24 hours after Marcos had had himself inaugurated, he was being helped off a plane in Hawaii, sickly, exiled and bewildered. His former home, Malacanang Palace, was now a melancholy tableau of abandoned power, overrun by thousands of revelers. The new leader of the Philippines was the reserved housewife who had worn plain yellow dresses every day of her campaign. For her determination and courage in leading a democratic revolution that captured the world’s imagination, Corazon Aquino is TIME’s Woman of the Year for 1986.

Whatever else happens in her rule, Aquino has already given her country a bright, and inviolate, memory. More important, she has also resuscitated its sense of identity and pride. In the Philippines those luxuries are especially precious. Almost alone among the countries of Asia, it has never been steadied by an ancient culture; its sense of itself, and its potential, was further worn away by nearly four centuries of Spanish and American colonialism. The absence of a spirit of national unity has also made democracy elusive. Even Jose Rizal, a political reformer shot by the Spanish and a national hero, called the Filipinos “a people without a soul.” Yet in February, for a few extraordinary moments, the people of the Philippines proved their bravery to the world, and to themselves.

Aquino’s revolution with a human face was no less a triumph for women the world over. The person known as the “Mother of the Nation” managed to lead a revolt and rule a republic without ever relinquishing her buoyant calm or her gift for making politics and humanity companionable. In a nation dominated for decades by a militant brand of macho politics, she conquered with tranquillity and grace.

She did have a nice ass. I don’t blame him. hah!

What is this place? It seems familiar. It looks like a blog, but not. Kinda resembles an abandoned warehouse. Oh yes! … it’s my blog! I’ve been away too long, but sadly, I cannot stay. You see, there is this thing called Twitter. You might have heard of it.

… instead of trying to be clever and try to write something that fills up more than a few lines, I can be a smartass over Twitter. I don’t need to watch my language or my grammar or care about what I post. Not that I did any of that here anyway. I honestly can’t be bothered to form anything more than 140 characters, which is what Twitter limits me to. So yes, I know I have a blog. No, I won’t post here as often. If I can’t fit a single thought into 140 characters, then I might post here. My blogging comes in spurts and this is one of those lulls. Except this time I have an excuse. If there is a need to get in touch with me, you can find me at Twitter. If you wanted to get in touch with me through my blog, you probably would have signed up on Twitter anyway.

Until next time.

I decided to do a quick post about this since the songs have been giving me smiles every time they are played at the end of the OXM podcast. Check ‘em out. It’s great how it relates to any respectable gamer.

This year’s semifinal playoffs have been a total blast, yet I can’t help thinking a couple things that would make the NBA more accurate when officiating. Technology … the proper use of technology would go a long way in making the game fairer. Technology shouldn’t hinder the game. Technology shouldn’t slow the pace of the game … that is what is so exciting about basketball. With that said, there are two technologies in particular that I would like to see implemented.

Instant replays. Yes I know they already use instant replays in some instances such as game winning shots or to check if a foot was on the three point line. However, it is not used enough. Potentially dangerous plays are not called on the spot and have been missed many times. Some game changing fouls and no-calls have been made that on a close game can mean the difference between winning and losing. However, replays should be used at the discretion of the officiating crew. The NBA does not need American football style challenges. Remember, we don’t want to change the way the game is played, just make calls more accurate and the players safer. There are many times during a game that the officials consult each other on a given call … why not consult the sidelines as they would do on a potential game winning shot?

Accelerometers. They have it on the iPhone and pretty much every modern smartphone. It is not too far fetched for Spalding to stick a secure wireless accelerometer in their ball to tell the sideline crew the position of the ball. It would be great on goaltending calls. Two points here and there may not sound much, but when games are decided by one or two points, it makes all the difference.

Officials and their calls wrong or right are a big part of any basketball game. That shouldn’t change … but officials shouldn’t decide the outcome of games. // end rant
