The Technorati Experiment

Good day to Sam, Daddynator, Raymond, Maiagirl, and Bugsybee, I would like to recruit you into an experiment that may provide an insight into how blog ranking works and how to work it. Thank you Panaderos, for the tag and the idea for a new post.
What is blog authority / blog rank?
Technorati Authority is [...]


Disclosure update

A page on this blog expressly states that I am making a bit of money from writing here. It’s a late decision on my part, after having heard about other bloggers who have actually quit their jobs in favor of pro-blogging. What I do, in fact, cannot even be considered pro-blogging, as I do not [...]


Best Web Hosting Company

Sometime in 2007 I used a template for my WordPress.com blog from Kaushal Sheth. To me his name is one of the more familiar ones when it came to WordPress themes and blogging. Now when I visited his blog I saw his entry on web hosting, and how he had been in the market for [...]


Smilies :)

Recognition day yesterday at Olivarez College, Parañaque City. Third year high school awardees are Xavier “Kuya Maui” Cortes, Third Honors and Barbara Tuazon, First Honors, here with their Class Adviser Mr. Edwin O. Provido. During the ceremonies they also acknowledged Xavier’s other contributions to the school.
I like this photo because it’s one of the [...]


Don’t let the bedbugs bite

I have just learned that there are at least twelve (12) different types of cockroaches that are considered household pests. A quick look at the Terminix pest library told me so. The type of cockroach I hate most is the flying kind, it makes my skin crawl when they do that. I remember when I [...]


Summer’s Here

Now that summer’s here we expect a noisier household, with Kuya Maui at home all day and Maia bringing her neighborhood friends over to play. Summer’s when we expect the electricity bill to rise because we get our water from a tank powered by an electric motor. More electric fans on for longer periods in [...]


A Matter of Degrees

It’s nail on the head time again, with Pol Medina Jr. (a.k.a. PMJR) on this time of year where young hopefuls march up the aisle, take a small bow to the audience, and accept the fake rolled up bond paper with the tiny ribbon, shake hands with the Principal/Dean and then down the stage again [...]


Fixing a hole

It was almost three years ago when we moved back into this house, which my father built by the sweat of his brow. What we first saw when we got here in 2005 would have made him cry, and I am still thankful that it was just Sam and his brothers who saw the terrible [...]


Expat

I have been working for my boss since 1999, and in this count I include the two years that I spent away from the company because we never really lost touch with each other. My boss is an expat from the United Kingdom but has Scottish ancestry and has lived part of his life in [...]


Captcha for a Cause

You (yes very) precious few visitors to this blog may notice that I have implemented a captcha form on my comments area. CAPTCHA means (and I discovered this only today) “Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart.”
I did this not because I think there are robots among my very precious few [...]
