One of the outside sport I like to watch on TV and even in movies acted by my favorite actors, aside from basketball and baseball, is the rugby games [1].

Microsoft wants Yahoo!
2008-02-01 21:40:00
I've read today from CNN News that Microsoft bids $44.6B for Yahoo ! The following are the bits of the story:Technology giant Microsoft said Friday it had offered to buy Internet search engine operator Yahoo with a cash and stock bid worth $44.6 billion. Yahoo shares have lost around 30 percent of their value in the past year. The $31-a -share offer represents a 62 percent premium for shareholders above the closing price of Yahoo stock on Thursday, Microsoft said in a statement.  read the rest of the story here: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/BUSINESS/02/0 1/microsoft.yahoo/index.html [1]I think this might happen, Yahoo! might give up to this offer of Microsoft. I also read that Yahoo! might lay-off a lot of workers which is an indication of not-so-good-business. Well if Yahoo! and Microsoft will merged, it will be both good news and bad news. Good news for us, web designers [2], SEO, and ordinary users, because of the different possibilities and new features the Microsoft and Yaho...

DesktopBSD 1.6 Released
2008-01-30 20:54:00
Yesterday I was planning to install OpenSuse 10.3 on my 3rd 20Gig hard disk because I started to be annoyed by slow start-up of my current operating system. Before I started the installation, I browsed and visited Freebsd.org to see updates on one of my favorite operating system. Actually, I use FreeBSD 6.x on almost all of my projects that requires a file server. I was hoping that FreeBSD 7.0 might be released so I will use it but version FreeBSD 7.0 is still on testing stage. Instead I found out that DesktopBSD 1.6 was released this January 2008. DestkopBSD is a desktop operating system based on FreeBSD.So I downloaded the .ISO installer of the DesktopBSD (i386). I chose the DVD installer which is about 1.5 gigabytes because it contains the complete package of the OS. I planned to use CloneDrive program to extract the image installer so I can start the installer under Windows. I was thinking that it's the same with OpenSuse 10.3 that contains a windows installer but unluckily it ...

Retiring Windows XP...
2008-01-26 10:47:00
I've read the news today that Windows XP will be retiring to make way of the new operating system from Microsoft, the Windows Vista. The article said that starting the end of January 2008, Microsoft will not sell the 6 year-old operating system Windows XP to major computer companies. Windows XP will stop being available on new PCs from the end of January 2008. Microsoft is keeping to a plan to stop selling the operating system even though surveys show a lukewarm response to Windows Vista among consumers.... Microsoft has confirmed that from 31 January 2008 large PC makers, such as Dell, HP and Toshiba, will no longer be able to buy licences for the software so they can install it on new machines. Windows XP is being retired to make way for Windows Vista, the consumer editions of which were launched in Europe on 30 January.

PLDT DSL Connection Problem :(

We've just upgraded our account in PLDT DSL to higher plan and static IP (and higher fee) last week. Actually the speed is ok, when I try to check our internet speed our connections reaches up to 5+MBps. And I tried downloading some of the programs from our MSDNAA subscription and it took me about 1 hour to finish downloading the Visual Studio.Net image file which is about 2 gigabyte and a Windows XP Professional installation.The problem is we can't access Google and Yahoo! Luckily my email is on Hotmail! hehehe I don't know why! I thought that the configuration of the proxy of our internet server was blocking this sites but I found out that the proxy is just working fine. So I called the technical staff of PLDT and they said that they have some technical problems with these two sites due to some migration or update in their Metro Manila Servers.Well, I tried to search for the same problem (using MSN of course) and some of the feedback I've read from several forums and blogs, sa...

What can I say about Alibata?
2008-01-08 23:43:00
Honestly I was not able to encounter the term alibata during my school days in elementary, high school or even in college. Maybe because I'm busy solving chess problems during my school years or I'm only absent during that time :). Well, but I discovered lately that alibata is the ancient writing of Filipinos and I should know about alibata because I'm a true Filipino by heart and by blood. So according to my research, alibata was considered to be an extinct writing system of our country but recently, an effort was seen to revived alibata by some individuals whose goal are  to inspire nationalists and / or ethnic pride. By the way alibata is also known as "baybayin", which is a local dialect (specifically tagalog dialect) that means "to spell". Actually I've read an article from the Inquirer.net about the attempt of some of the Filipino professor to revive alibata. These professor from FEU actually teaches alibata to his students somewhere in Qui...
