Was it four or five years ago now? I was watching the Argentinian team in the World Basketball Championships, and this particular spitfire caught my eye in an otherwise boring game. He was wiry, around 6″4 or so, had long curly hair like the European soccer stars, and was an absolute whirlwind on the court.

Posted a weird permalinks error on WP forums..
Just posted on wordpress support forums.
When I create a htaccess file using options/permalinks, a message says the htaccess file is not writable, so I have to cut and paste the code, save it as a file and upload. I do that by saving it as a.htaccess as a text file, upload, rename to .htaccess, then chmod to 666. It then worked ok.

Everything I wanted to know about podcasts (but didn’t care to find out until now)
My client m|ph’s editors went and made their first podcasts, so I went and fixed up the blog to get it ready, and finally did what I had been dreading for awhile to do – update from WordPress 1.2 to 1.5 while using a highly customized template.

iPod nano article out
Something went right today. Well, mostly at least. My article re the 2gb. iPod nano came out, (http://news.inq7.net/lifestyle/index.php?index=1&story_id=57430), and it came out almost exactly the way I wanted it too.
“Huh?” you say? I know that seems weird, but truth be told, it’s a struggle to get exactly those things lined up and happening exactly the way you want it to.
Google Bombing Knocks Arroyo Out Of Office! – not
So the Young Radicals blog managed to get Google to display Arroyo’s website whenever someone enters the keywords “pekeng pangulo”. Whoopee.

Analytics Shmanalytics? – A Review of Google Analytics
Much has been said about Google Analytics, I’ve put them on most of my sites the first day I learned of them. It’s been a few days hence, but for what it’s worth here’s my .02 cents.

Sony BMG’s rootkit for November Boner of the Month!
(I’m starting a new category “Boner Of The Month”, to list down those wonderfully unique incidents in the tech world that you juuust can’t put into words – without thinking of the word ‘boner’ that is. My first one should’ve been the recent Microsoft Windows update that crashed PCs and opened them up to viruses, a real humdinger, but I couldn’t Google a link to the specific one I wanted because there are just so many and they happen so often! I was also afraid I might not even find one every month, but hey, the timely one below just goes to prove when it comes to committing acts of stupidity on a regular basis, you can never underestimate your fellow man.

Use.Firefox.Or.Else.
I’m not completely sure of what to make of the Explorer Destroyer movement, apparently a (over?)zealous firefox usergroup’s attempt to get people to switch from IE, making (good?) use as well of Google’s offer of $100.00 for every referral to Firefox.
Gadgets Galore
Me and Digital Exchange finally got our collective acts together to have all the gadgets I’m supposed to review over the following weeks delivered in one go. Not an easy task granted time and distance (they’re in Makati and I’m in Antipolo), the reported difficulty in dealing with the stores involved, occasional deadline issues and other nitty gritty details. Again, this is part of a 9 gadget writeup-fest to promote Digital Exchange (Glorietta 3), and so far I’ve finished with the Samsung SGH-e730, the Fujifilm F-810, and the iPod Nano 2gb, which should come out next week.
So anyway, enough talk! Here are they are!
More On Don’t Be Evil
After having read a lot about Google for an article I did that came out last month, I pretty much know a lot of surface information about Google guys Sergei Brin and Larry Page, or at least enough to write that article.
