Woopee! One problem I’ve had of late is that I’ve run out of hosting space. I swiftly filled up my 100MB (Silver package) hosting on Marvinsweb. I was pleasantly surprised when I read this entry on Marvinsweb’s blog. I IMed their help desk over Yahoo! Messenger, asking them when it will be implemented, and they [...]

I got this in my email the other day, and it made me sad: Marj is a friend from Canada (she migrated there around 1995) who I met over mIRC in 1998 and met in real-life around 2000. We lost touch after I started working in 2002. A month before my wedding in 2004, I [...]

She resumed writing last Monday. In his campaign, Nick implores everyone to boycott the Manila Standard Today, by not buying their paper or accessing their [...]
