My dust-collecting PC is alive again (No, not the one in photo). This was after months of snobbery. It was left on its own after its power supply finally gave up. Apparently, the regular hard resets (turning on, off the power switch), which I used to reset my PC, have affected the power supply (and [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve really done anything radical on my computer.
I was initially thinking of just getting a new wallpaper. But I was led to this freeware that gives your desktop a new look. So I found Bumptop. Just to give you an idea what it is, think of a 3D desktop. And [...]

I remember writing a story about a Philippine newsmagazine website getting porn trackbacks last week. Today, when I checked my e-mail, I got more than 10 trackbacks from porn websites! Now, I have to turn off the trackback option. It was irritating to delete each of them.
That’s blog technology for you. Trackbacks are meant to [...]

Microsoft Windows Vista was launched to consumers today here at the country’s biggest mall. The software company promised to create a spectacle, a big bang hoping to generate more interest in the new operating system. This morning I saw people lining up to get goodies [...]

I just finished upgrading to Ella, the new Wordpress 2.1 version. I hope to avoid any hitches or bugs. Apparently, the first try did not work. I’m still on version 2.0.4. For the detailed upgrade from previous versions to Ella, visit this Wordpress guide. Don’t forget to back up your files, tables, etc.
What’s up in the gaming industry in the Philippines? Apparently a lot. I’ve been writing for Hackenslash, a gaming website of the INQUIRER.net for some time now. Somehow, we stumble upon interesting stories about games, game developers, and innovations led by Filipinos who just love games.
This week Hackenslash broke the story on a new online [...]
Overseas Filipino workers and migrants in Singapore will be the first to try out Internet voting, according to a spokesperson of the Commission on Elections. A Spanish company demonstrated this technology late last year, and I was able to witness it. This is quite an interesting development for Filipinos abroad who want to participate in [...]
