Well, what else can I say? It’s in the news:

Smart GPRS
About two weeks ago I received an SMS from Smart saying that I can now browse the internet through GPRS for only P10 in 30 minutes. It states further that my P10 does not expire automatically once I quit my connection. Instead, I’ll start from where I left once I resume browsing the net.
Using a USB data cable to connect my phone to my PC via Nokia PC Suite installed in my laptop, I tried opening “Connect to the Internet” (which by the way uses the phone as a modem). Guess what? It worked!
At 460.8 kbps, Continue reading Smart GPRS
Deuts.net Appraisal
Leapfish.com is a domain resource center. In its home page there is an engine on the left that can analyze any website/domain and come up with an appraisal or a rough estimate of how much your site is worth. I’ve entered deuts.net and guess what it returned…. Continue reading Deuts.net Appraisal
Deuts.net Interface
I have received a comment lately from a friend (Wilson Justo) that he didn’t like the appearance of my website. He said that it is too simple. I told him that this site’s appearance was created after its theme of “simple but elegant”.
I’ve actually browsed through the net for other wordpress themes that might suit its “simple but elegant” theme. So far, I liked alexified (e.g., *Jozzua) and hemmed (e.g., The J Spot), but I’ve already done a lot of work with this theme and I’m not really that comfortable with duplicating the looks of the above sites, that’s why Continue reading Deuts.net Interface
The Problem with Netopia
Netopia claims itself to be the largest and fastest growing internet cafe chain in the Philippines. It has 180 branches and more than 8,000 pc’s to service its customers.
Personally, I like renting computers in netopia, because of its high-speed internet connection. I mean, it’s not really that very high speed, but at least I can’t have any complaint with such a speed.

That list includes: attensa, bloglines, feedlounge, google reader, gritwire, news alloy, newsgator online, pluck web edition, rojo, live.com, google ig, and netvibes.

HSBC Security Device
I received my security device just yesterday. I tested the device at online@hsbc and so far it seems to be working, except for some returned error by the website.
The device and the procedure to be employed by HSBC to secure the access of customers over their accounts at HSBC over the internet, to me, is innovative. This will definitely put HSBC Continue reading HSBC Security Device

Welcome to my super brand new website. I’m still in the process of completing this one. So please bear with me. I still have a lot of work to do here.
This will now be my permanent site. My very existence in this whole world wide web. I’m going to dump my other shared blogs Continue reading Brand New Website In Progress
Technologically Yours
I received these pictures from an email a while ago. I’m not really sure if this is true. Yet, I do think it’s cool.
At first glance, this looks like a set of pens.
Or maybe pens with hidden cameras….but hey, look very closely….
