for GPS users

i used to work with a german r&d firm in the philippines whose product line that was never realized consisted of hybrid satellite receivers for GPS, GLONASS, and EGNOS! hanep! ano yun? hehehe. actually, i had nary any idea what i was getting into the time i joined the company. ayun! buti nga sa kin at naka-experience ako ever ng most challenging, most difficult, most out of this world (for me) project. pag-aralin ba naman ako ng mga signal carrier ek-ek, code carrier chuvalences, and viterbi decoding dedokizing horror! pamatay! dinala ko sa tulog ang trabaho ko nun! pero ok lang. with flair, finesse, and fashion sense, nalampasan ko rin ang lahat. at ngayon, wala na ang kompanyang yun. may it rest in peace! wehehehe. uy, pero hindi naman dahil sa kin nalugi ang kompanya! dahil sa aming lahat! hahaha. joke lang. in fact, i worked with the brightest minds i could ever imagine coming from UP diliman, la salle, and etc. hehehe. di ko maalala yung etc eh! :p and most of my co-workers were topnotchers in board exams. dahil dyan, pag may nagtanong sa kin dati, san ka nag-wo-work? sagot ko: ahem, vicon! proud eh. kasi belonging to a few elite geeks. ah, recording yun di ba? ok lang. para naman din talaga akong recording artist! :p

anyways, my memories of vicon are not only littered with horrific nights sa kakaisip ng optimum solutions for synchronizing and decoding data signals via the viterbi convolutional decoder (ahem), i had the best time in my working life. i met great people. and i loved geeky people! :p di ko ipagpapalit ang times dun sa vicon! ;)

anyways anyways, ano bang punto ng post kong to? well, i'm just plugging here my ex-officemate's blog on GPS. global positioning system pala to para sa mga gustong mag-memorize ng acronyms. pero si bob alam na to! uyyyy. hehehe. pampadagdag ganda points lang po. baka kasi iniisip ng mga tao na puro lang ako kagandahan. i also carry a brain inside this pretty head of mine! :p so ulit, my ex-officemate earl has setup his blog on GPS techie stuffs. if you're into GPS usage, visit his blog at http://philgpsusers.blogspot.com/

hay, yun lang dapat isulat ko sana sa blog actually at ang dami ko nang satsat. kasi just the mention of GPS, i'm flooded with good times and bad times in vicon that made my life all the more interesting! mabuhay ang matagal nang wala na si vicon! hehehe.

at kung may chance na balikan ang mga sandaling yun kahit dun sa puntong allowance na lang ang binibigay sa min instead na sueldo, uulitin ko sya EVER! pero sa bagay may ibang plans na ko ngayon. mag-po-project manager na ko! mag-aapply ako somewhere! weeeeeeeeee!!! :p
