The CRS saga continues…

I did not know that the Philippine Collegian (Kule) featured a story about the Computerized Registration System (CRS) issue that happened last year until one of the Asst. Vice Presidents of UP told me about it. I immediately searched for a copy thinking that it was just released recently but later found out that it was a few weeks old already. Nonetheless, it is still worth printing here.

WordPress 2.1.1 Security Update

I just applied the security fixes to the blog engine. If you see something broken, please do send me a note.

Thanks.

Our First Mac Desktop,
originally uploaded by lover.

Our last of the G4-based powerbook conked out yesterday and we’ve decided to replace it with a brand-spanking-new Core 2 Duo 17″ iMac. This is our first Mac desktop and hopefully not the last.

Right now, I’m doing software updates and installing other must-have software. Next, I will be moving the files from our back-up drive – that should take another hour.

I can’t wait to run FrontRow and view videos off of the gorgeous screen.

LF: E61 Blogging Client

Well, I am thinking of blogging whilst on the go and the best way to do this is to blog on my mobile phone. Whilst I can connect to the internet (thanks to 3G!) and blog, it is always easier to blog off-line and then simply upload the entries anytime I want.

I figure that if I am to cover an event, like the JavaOne keynote, it’d be great if I can get it done off-line. Yeah, Moscone is covered with wifi but I still would like to do it in one go, if you know what I mean. I can blog using my Macbook Pro, of course, but have you seen how jampacked these keynotes are? It is a good thing that I’m already an Alumni – so I get priority seating. I wonder if they can give better seats for press people.

So, if you know of any E61 Blogging client, please do let me know.
