  • Performancing For Firefox Rocks. Hard.

    As Im running Movie Exchange.ph and Basketball Exchange.ph now, posts here have become few and far between.

    That’s not to say of course, that not much has happened. On the contrary, tons and tons have, and so I must find time to blog, if only because blogs among other things are a great way of personally keeping track of stuff going on in our lives. And since, judging from the site metrics, people haven’t really been beating a path to read it, I assume the aforementioned purpose makes more sense at this point.

  • AklatangPambata.org Going Strong

    AklatangPambataApologies for the corny title as titles have always been my waterloo, but at any rate, it’s fairly apt.

    AklatangPambata.org, a Quezon City based NGO whose goal it is to establish libraries across the country, is run by Troy Lacsamana, a multi-awarded librarian and among the recipients of the top 5 HSBC Volunteers in Person last October 2005 by Hands on Manila.

    He first contacted me last March 5 as a respondent to my Free Websites program after it was posted on the Portia UP sorority maillist, which I also did as part of that program.

  • RIP Soozyhopper

    RIP SoozyhopperI’ve no idea who she/he is, what she/he does, where (I’ll just choose she) she gets here info, and who those people are she talks about.

    The only thing I know is that the day Soozyhopper died, is a sad day in Philippine Blogging history.

    Why?

    Plain and simple, Soozy spoke the truth, or at least the truth as she saw it.

  • First takes on the Amoi Blue M626 Laptop

    m626 amoi blueThe Amoi Blue speaks “Cheap” from the moment you open the box, take out the contents, ditch the manual (which is all in Chinese so you’ve no choice but to ditch it), and use it.

    Feature set is standard. It’s among the first with a Intel Core Duo processor, offers presentable graphics and gigabit LAN, but I won’t waste time in saying my first and lasting impression: it feels, (and therefore is) – cheap.

  • In search of the ‘cowboy’ phone

    cowboyMy old phone has been wanting to be put to pasture for almost a year now, and cheapskate (I prefer to call it ‘practical’) man that I am, I’ve been holding off on buying one for just as long.

    Well, there’re other reasons actually. And they’re also the reason why I’m using a five year old+ phone. I’ll try to list them down:

  • First takes on the NEC Versa M350 1704DW

    NEC Versa M350 1704DWI think the Acer 3242WXMi now has some competition after I took this one out of the box last night. At this very moment, it’s sitting on the desk running on batteries, with all the screensavers and power saving options turned off so I could time how long it takes till it dies.
