Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin and they end with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact in the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday. Girl: Are you interviewing? Boy: Sorry? Girl: Are you interviewing.. . for the (pauses) position? Boy: Oh yeah. Why are…
A “Thanksgiving experience” in World of Warcraft. 🦃 I’ve been a sucker for WOW world events lately. The idea of adding more titles to my toon’s name seems to be appealing. Plus if Blizzard is being nice, they usually include a pet as a consolation once you get to do all the achievements required for…
The problem started as far back as June this year. Yahoo users trying to connect to the said network through Kopete could not. Several people were quick to notice it. A quick fix was to override the default server for logging in to something else. But this was a temporary fix. Eventually it didn’t work…
What Does NOT Work KNetworkManager can’t manage ADSL connections. Don’t waste your time searching the web for solutions. It’s not worth it in the end. WIDC won’t work. I never understood what WIDC was supposed to do. It endlessly scanned my machine and got nothing. The configuration options is a mess as well. It doesn’t…
INTRO Smart Bro is one of the biggest Internet Service Provider (ISP) brand in the Philippines. It could easily be the ISP with the largest user-base, surpassing even the older ISPs that have been around since the Internet started way back in the 90s.

Boo, I only have a grade of C in my own country. How much more for the entire world? Waaaaa!!! But then again it’s not really a surprise. What with the geographic and political conditions of the Philippines. By geographic I mean just look at that map below. That’s a total of 7,000 and 100…
My Friends, While you never really asked me the reasons why I left, I feel that I owe you an explanation nonetheless. It has been over a year already. It is long past due that you should hear my side of the story. So I am writing this now to tell you why I have…
Mounting ISO9660 images, or CD/DVD images, stored on your hard disk has never been a problem with me on Linux systems. A simple mount command from the console and I’m good to go to see the contents of the image. Modern versions of popular Linux distros even have this already worked out, so the average…
Prettifying a URL is an old technique. It is generally called URL Rewriting. Why should you do this? For one, it’s better to look at it. A URL that has “?s=1&sid=4752891&gn=0&.rand=99olqituu202iqzx37a6” after the domain name, can be quite confusing and unpleasant to look at for those who don’t understand it. Secondly, re-written URLs are more…
For new WordPress users trying to set up a website and using the former as a CMS, this is usually among the first questions asked. This is really easy. In fact the WordPress Codex has it all written down step by step here. Then usually, the next question after having done the steps is, “I…
“I AM WARRIOR. Where others would hide behind their faith, summon the powers of corruption, or simply disappear into shadows, I will stand and fight with honor. And I will win.” I just gotta love this signature. It’s very poetic for a warrior. It’s so bold. Not literally, of course. LOL! But really it’s ironic…
my Frost death knight dual-wield spec – 2/52/17 there is nothing more sexy than having 2 offensive weapons on each of your hands. back when i was still a scrub warrior, this was always my setup when not tanking. death knights, thankfully, were given the ability to wield 1-hand weapons on both main and off-hands. …
