Register a Pro Domain Name

How would you like to have that .pro domain name?

.Pro is the premium domain that provides instant branding visibility for licensed professionals of all types looking to promote themselves on the internet. .pro is ideal for professionals who want to establish a unique presence online.

It’s actually quite a bit pricey as compared to the .com, .net, or .org counterparts. But hey, it’s something that could be unique. You could even grab a domain name that’s long been unavailable in the web.

I’m thinking about jotuvillo.cpa.pro.

For the Love of Freedom

Makati Siege

The Makati unrest.

What really irked me about this was how media handled the situation. Ever since 2pm, Gen Barias (NCRPO Chief) was requesting them to leave the Manila Penn premises. Yeah, I know they’re just doing their job. But did it ever cross their minds that they’re instrumental in these unfortunate flow of events?

You see, this whole damned drama could have ended a totally different way had those media people left the Penn already before the 3pm deadline. And that difference could have translated to no destruction of the hotel entrance/lobby by a government tank. I think the media should also be held accountable for this mess. These people (Trillanes & Co.) may not have gotten this far without the media intervention. Or better yet, what better thing we could have wished for to happen to these losers!

The media people may play an important part in history. But in this case, they are making history happen. And as such, they should be held accountable for what happened.

Blogging in Ubuntu

My Ubuntu Desktop
Screenshot of my desktop in Ubuntu. Click on image to enlarge.

I have always been considering switching to Linux, specifically Ubuntu. See my last post about it. You ask why, it’s the freedom from the various Windows restrictions and the furtherance of a free society. I actually found this link through Fr. Stephen Cuyos’ entry.

The Experience

I was yet trying out with the Live CD, and have not yet installed in my system. As such, I could not yet tell whether what they say that it’s faster to boot as compared to Windows is true. Continue reading Blogging in Ubuntu

The Flickr Way

I have always regarded flickr as a social photo sharing site. As a matter of fact it is, indeed. It’s a place where you can comment on other people’s photos while they can comment as well in yours. It’s one major factor why I upgraded to a “pro” account (well, actually someone purchased it for me.LOL)

But, what if another flickr user blocked you from his photostream?

The heck with that! I’ll just unsubscribe to his photostream. You find me annoying? I’m not going to visit that stream again! You’re just recycling your photos, anyway. You’ll see the same photo uploaded long ago coming back to the front page.

You think you’re a better photographer than me? Probably, yes. In fact, yes! You’re a professional making a living out of it, while I’m just a lowly amateur hobbyist. But from this moment on, you’ll no longer be my idol. 🙁

Do you think this is a rant? No way. I’m laughing out of it. The thing is, I don’t really care! 🙂
