After the writing bug of the past two weeks, I’ve been bitten by the design bug this past weekend, the m|ph blog’s latest header being my latest victim. I change the header to reflect the latest cover every month, and this one took approximately 3~5 hours spread over three days to do (not counting the time actually dreaming up the design), partly because I repair other things along the way, such as the Google Search box which was improved by Google these past few months and therefore deserved an update.

a crying shame
Making the rounds of the maillists these days is mediag8way’s linuxworld, which promises to be an exciting event, with 4 conference tracks that include introduction to business applications, more technical and systems admininstration, “meet the experts” (which should be interesting in itself), and an advocacy / public interest part which is open to the public.
would you say yes to a Google OS?

two new ygroups!
I’m announcing two new yahoogroups: Ph-Photoshop amd Ph-CSS. Basically decided to make them since I deal with these two things a lot on a daily basis, aside from the fact I like making howtos on photoshop among others and I’m sure others out there wanna share their stuff.
clamwin antivirus – the strong(?) silent(!) type
there’s this comic i used to follow The Born Loser, where a joke goes about how the harrassed guy’s wife threw away their fire extinguisher because “We never get to use it anyway!”.

howto put google ads on a phpbb forum
I got to do something productive today! I finally managed to put Google Ads onto my project Broadband Exchange. I actually manage five or so PHPBB installations, but bEx (as I like to call it), is mine and mine alone, which allows me to a.) screw it up if I feel like it and b.) put humongous Google Ads again, should the wind blow in that direction.
At any rate, let me list down what I did, partially for myself, and mostly really for whoever else out there who wants to learn this stuff. But firstly some groundrules:
ym update. again.
no doubt ym is one of my absolute favorite instant messengers and an essential for me to keep in touch with clients (“clients” being my official term for any sort of contacts including friends, ex-gfs, enemies, batchmates, relatives and all sorts of riffraff. Actual clients actually number about 5%).
