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.

Hackenslash reporter Alex Villafania bagged this story this week. He wrote that 17-year-old Filipino Brent Dimapilis won second place in the Xbox 360 Project Gotham Racing 3 game category in the first Championship Gaming Invitational held in San Francisco, California. Noypis are good gamers too!
