Europe Roaming Charges October 30, 2006

i read some time ago about the discussions or negotiations between the EU and mobile operators about the price of roaming between European countries. It’s no joke.
I got my Smart phone bill. The calls I made from Germany to the Philippines were PhP 123 per minute! These are listed under “roaming operator charge,” with a [...]

Those IPhil Days October 29, 2006

At the SEO Philippines event, some of the people knew me from my Internet days. Just today, I bumped into a former coworker.  These remind me: I need to write about my IPhil days.
IPhil was an Internet service provider (plus some other businesses) that I helped run. We started on it in 1994, it launched [...]

Media Temple Grid Server Review October 28, 2006

People have been asking me how the Grid Server is doing. I am still figuring out what to upload to push out a Terabyte of traffic, and see how the resource computation goes (is it CPU/storage? or bandwidth?)

Next, [...]

Something old, Something new October 27, 2006

The something old is my 2 year old PC. I’ve been upgrading the software. No need to upgrade the hardware. This is what’s keeping Intel from selling more.
Something new. I upgraded Ubuntu to 6.10 Edgy Eft, using “dist-upgrade.” No problems. I just needed to rebuild the proprietary NVidia driver with gcc-4.10.
Then I installed Fedora Core [...]

Autobiography October 27, 2006

Part of my blog plans is posting about the past. Building up my autobiography.
I hesitate in posting stuff about myself and what’s happening to me now. But yesterday’s news is today’s history, and I’d like to post about my history. Some would be about myself – pardon the vanity. Some would be tech and Internet [...]

The Blog Change October 26, 2006

In my previous post, people were thinking about starting over.
First of all, my old blog is still around. I did not delete it. You can still find it if you search for it.
The next reason is I was confused about monetization. I wanted to monetize my blog and that made it look ugly. I’m still [...]

Starting Over October 23, 2006

I’ve decided to start over with blogging.
I’m not happy with how the old blog and my thoughts inside were organized. But since the content is already in place, I am not moving it here.
