Admit One

A couple of IT bits for the non-techie from the PDI website:
Next Stop: College!
The latest addition to one’s online searching suite is Schoogle. This one’s about schools and aims to help graduating high school students in terms of college admissions and scholarships. It’s a nationwide project hence the .PH extension.
Anyway nice intentions there that’s why [...]

I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff…

or can I still do so?

Uh, oh… Now that is scary!
Anyway I already got my course materials from the UPOU yesterday. Unlike the regular registration I was used to back during my undergraduate days, this one was a breeze. I still fell in line but in less than an hour, everything was done. Apart from [...]

Could’ve, Would’ve, Should’ve’s

Never been a fan of forwarded stuff but this one sure looks genuine. A quick web search reveals that according to local dailies’ a certain Carlo Cruz did lose his wife during the Glorietta explosion last Friday.
So I’m taking time out to post his piece on his loss:
Good day everyone,
I wish I were writing under [...]

That’s the Fifth Time Today

The Glorietta explosion last Friday not only got a lot of people killed and hurt but also got the country’s urban populace terrified to say the least. If the perpetrators of that incident had terrorism in mind, they sure got what they wanted. Until now the whole thing’s still under investigation.

A Software a Day

It looks like a modernist painting. Some of those who saw it have likened it to work by (Paul) Klee.

Moving Elsewhere

Just finished moving Notes and Domino stuff to a new blog elsewhere in wordpress.com as well. The sheer volume of such stuff, (at least what I intend to write about,) looks enough to clog this blog with perspectives from that direction alone so I decided to write on the said topic there.
Anyway I’ve included the [...]

Statistics and the Internet

An officemate forwarded a link to Internet Usage and Statistics in Asia from Internet World Stats. Data presented there collates internet usage against population figures of each asian nation to derive the percentage of the population using the internet, the percentage of the population of internet users among the internet users in Asia and the [...]

Just Squeezing Through

Zero entries in a couple of weeks after a near month-long streak surprising even me.
While I have tons of blog stuff raring to be posted here, I’m currently finalizing the PHP stuff of something that I should be able to deliver by the end of the weekend. I spent a great deal of time with [...]
