Joomla! Day Philippines - June 14, 2008
Finally! After having heard of Joomla! days all over Europe and the American continents, Joomla! Day is finally here.
Details on preparations can be found on the Google Groups Filipino Joomla Community. Our dev team is going, we’ve been working on Joomla! sites for more than a year now and it would be good to interact [...]
A new browser to press buttons with
Have just discovered the web browser called Flock, and my initial opinions about this really useful browser (really fast too, faster than Opera on this machine) are on the revitalized Kusangpalo website.
On Press this Button I learned that Intel will soon be following Levis’ footsteps as it downgrades, or “ramps down” its operations in the [...]
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 [...]
PC vs Mac, South Park Style
(Youtube video link deleted because my 4 year old daughter keeps clicking through to other videos that aren’t fit for a 4 year old to watch and I’m not here all the time)

DIY Branding can be Fun!
One of the most difficult aspects of marketing your business is branding. Some startup companies do it the simple (read: cheap) way with a word processor and built in graphics.

Google Toolbar Page Rank Broken?

In a world without walls…
who needs Windows?

Hit and run no more
Ever since the recent spam comment hits Sam and I have been taking, I’d been looking around for captcha protection that works for wordpress. I tried out a few lemons, but this one is a juicy apple.
Try out Peter’s Random Anti-Spam, which took me only three steps to put in place:
1. download from Peter’s site
2. [...]
Limewire for Ubuntu!
One of the wonderful things I discovered this weekend in this life as a computer slave is Limewire for Ubuntu. Apparently this has been out since May of this year according to the Limewire Blog. Until today I had been downloading music files through KTorrent, which was fine, but when I wanted only a selection [...]
