Those That Congratulate You Are Your True Friends

Went for a fantastic walk today from the house to Paseo, the shopping center. Only went halfway back though because I had to shop at Rustan's for rice. I bought into the brown rice healthy shtick only to be told be Jill that it tastes like cardboard, so I'm feeling like a shmuck right now. [...]

2010 Day 1: Not Much To Report

I would've uploaded a few pics if I could find the USB cable. Anyway that reminds me that Jill got a free USB card reader when she bought Tilde, her new S90, so I better ask for that instead.
I finally got to watch My Sassy Girl and it was terrific, or at least the ending [...]

Ok I finally have DSL.

The PLDT guys came over around 3 in the afternoon and hooked me up. This is the plan 990 they harp on about all the time and so far it's been ok. My main barometers don't use numbers. I just play internet radio on iTunes while doing some regular webmaster work and it hasn't hiccupped [...]

Writing, TechEx, Cebu and Cranberry Juice

I was trying to finish a strong opinion re Michael Jordan's speech at the Hall of Fame for BallEx but I lost my train of thought due to a funny situation at Tech Exchange. Someone probably close to the person who wrote a badly worded press release which I wrote about started making personal attacks, [...]

Sick Ayuc, Groceries, A Kid’s Fight Against Cancer, and other things.

I had been itching to blog these past days but unfortunately, Ayuc has acted up. It freezes right in the middle of things, which indicate either 2 things broken: the motherboard or RAM. Since it manages to boot up to a certain point, I'm blaming RAM. I have a source where I can buy 1gb. [...]

Updates

I've done this before and I'll probably do it many times again. Here's what's going on in my life, in bullet points!

Ayuc (my 'as yet unnamed computer, an iBook g4), is horribly underpowered with only 256mb. I've checked around and a Kingston 1gb. pc2100 ddr266 sodimm stick of ram will burn a php4,500+ hole in [...]

What’s Going On With Me

Yup, I'm breaking month long blog silence to write what's up. Not that there's anything earthshaking, just felt like it. So here goes.

I'm using Blogo, a Mac based (naks) blog writing tool that helps make updating blog(s) easier. It works vis xmlrpc.php which both wordpress and drupal has, so it's a great fit for me. [...]

Cannot Sleep Post

I unfortunately cannot sleep. In lieu of ZZZs, I am thinking about the ff. (yes, let's bring on the famous bulletpoints). Start: 10:45PM.

Foremost, is the incredible Facebook API, and it's recent decision to allow 3rd party developers to create apps that can change things like notes, links, videos and the all - [...]

I Should Be Working Out..

But instead I am blogging. And so, if I'm gonna blog, I might as well brain dump, and discuss my issues for the day. Time start: 10:01am.

I am going to an event 2pm. It involves the launch of a new tech product whose parent company is also in the news for laying off thousands of [...]

I Wrote At PDI Again

Her Highness (my editor) contacted me to write an article last week. Much praise and fawning was applied, to which I am susceptible, and so I succumbed. Here it is. Before you click it, it's about parent's options on controlling what their kids see on the 'net. I mentioned installable software, built in parental controls [...]
