It just irks me, it just absolutely disconcerts me how Mac Fanboys can call their fanaticism a 'social movement around a computer'.

The mailing list went all quiet last week and I thought it was a lull, but apparently it really is down, as a message I posted was not read by Migs when I asked him about it. Am waiting for it to go up again, but until then, the best I can do is publish [...]

It's got Xubuntu now, and I've found out a battery repack will cost approximately Php1,600 and I think it'll be good to go. I won't post [...]
