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 [...]
Google Adwords email scam
I got this in my office email today, which made me raise an eyebrow. As head of web development for the company I work for I have subscribed to almost every feature that google has offered EXCEPT for adwords. But in my senility I thought maybe I did sign up for one sometime ago so [...]
Add an RSS Feed on your Wordpress Sidebar
Convenience is one of the general features of the new WordPress 2.+ versions. Adding stuff to your sidebar has never been easier. Add-ons that had been handled by external plugins in the earlier versions of WordPress are now built-in. They can also be added into your sidebar through drag and drop.
One of these built-in [...]
Server backup in the third world
One of the services that the company I work for provides is a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Program (BCDRP) that is tailor-made for offices based in various parts of the Philippines.
Practically speaking, in the Philippines there is no such thing as 100% uptime for any office, unless it has generators that automatically kick [...]

That’s how I updated my WordPress no sweat, even in this sweltering [...]

So it is true, what has been said about a certain blog ads network and Google, and what you need to do to get your Google Page Rank (aka PR) back.
Sam’s blog was at PR4 (yep, 1 higher than this blog) until I signed him up for a blog advertising scheme which will be [...]
iContact Simplifies Communication
One of the best ways to present a service to potential customers is through email marketing. You can put up a website, but unless people know how to get there no one would go. Targeted email marketing puts your services in front of the right audience, tapping a captured market of potential customers.
Until recently most [...]
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 [...]
