Day 1 of the New Year and I guess I need to start the countdown to the end of my 3rd term in the City Council.
2009 would be my last full year in the City Council. My 9-year, 3-term stint at the local legsilative body ends on June 30, 2010.
There are still plenty of work [...]

Thank you for waiting. I’m back.
I went off blogging due to my hectic travel schedule the past three weeks. I did not bring along my laptop and did not have any easy access to the net.
I know I missed a lot and will have to make up.
Now, I’m busy preparing for Christmas presents and gifts [...]

It took a phone call from Abaniko for me to get hit with the realization that I should blog here more.
Of course now comes the question, what to blog what to blog? I’m kinda short on stuff to blog about, but that doesn’t mean that my life has been less exciting nor [...]

I arrived in Cagayan de Oro City last night, having traveled by car with Rodney Jao and Ray Rubio. Rodney has a speaking engagement for Microsoft at this software giant’s roadshow on mobile applications development. Ray and I just came along for the ride (literally).

I’ve finally gotten around to implementing a blog function that I’ve long wanted to incorporate into my blogs: a greet box to personalize my readers’ experience. You can see this in popular blogs such as Weblog Tools Collection. The reason for needing this is, I’ve decided to consolidate all my online contact forms [...]

My dashboard is acting up. When I try to write a new post or page, the visual editor is stuck in HTML mode. I have scoured for a solution from the web and at the Wordpress forum but the solutions posted are unreliable.
So far, the solutions I’ve tried are:
1. Cleared browser cache
2. Checked “Use the visual [...]

As you know, I have just switched themes on this blog. On another one, which turned one year old today, I changed the default header image. I also completed some back-end optimizing for all my blogs, which took practically all of my spare time yesterday and today. Housekeeping, if you like.
I was pleasantly surprised just [...]

Welcome to the new look and feel of my personal blog!!!
I’d gotten tired of the old one already, although it did serve me well. Truth is, when I chose that old theme, it was simply meant to be temporary while I hunted around for a more suitable one. But my other blogs got more attention [...]

Just this week, popular free classifieds site, sulit.com.ph, was hacked and was maliciously redirected to Sedo. As the security breach happened over the weekend, it took quite a while for the site admin to address the issue. For a heavily-trafficked site like Sulit, I think considerable financial losses were incurred as a result of the breach.
After [...]

For the sole fact that the IntenseDebate blog commenting system is now owned by Automattic, I installed their system and entrusted my readers’ comments to them. Now I regret having done so. I wish I’d opted for Disqus instead…

When we appointed Avel Manansala of General Santos City and his group to be the organizers of the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit, it was done without reservation. And true enough, the event was a resounding success! It was even much better than MBS1 in terms of impact and participation.
The theme this year was “Mindanaowon, [...]

This former strongman who shunned free press in the past is not only a press freedom convert.
He has turned to blogging to write his thoughts and present his opinions. And he is willing to go to jail for it!
