Battling the Summer Heat!
Summer conditions vary from location to location. There are places where summer is hot and dry, other places it's hot and humid. Here in the Philippines, the latter applies. Even if you are shaded, you still feel hot and sticky because of high humidity levels.
If you've got money to spare, an air conditioner would work wonders for a room! It takes hot air from a room, refrigerates it, and releases cold air back into the room. This, however, can be very costly as it consumes a lot of electricity.
If you're on a budget, an electric fan will do. Placement of electric fans are important so that air circulation is even within a room. Make sure to open all windows so that air could freely go in and out of your home. Most importantly, drink plenty of liquids. Maybe even take a couple of showers.
Raynard, the Graduate
Saturday, April 25, 2009. My little brother, Raynard, graduated from UPLB with a B.S. degree in Computer Science.. There were more than a thousand graduates this year, and boy was Freedom Park packed with people. Not only that, it was pouring rain throughout the ceremony.. 
That was nothing! It couldn't stop the ceremony... "The show must go on!" Congratulations to all the graduates! The corporate world awaits you..
New Theme and 2.7
If you've been here before, you may have noticed a new theme gracing my blog. I upgraded to wordpress 2.7 a while back, and i wanted to use a theme that would make use of new features.
The theme of choice is... CryBook by ThemeTation. A few tweaks here and there and it's all set. It is a very light theme since it doesn't have any images. Saves bandwidth and reduces loading time!
There are a few glitches though, enabling the "Automatically close comments on articles older than XX days" in discussion options breaks the theme. The sidebar goes under the content rather than at the side where it should be.
CryBook also breaks the styling of the SyntaxHighlighter Plugin as demonstrated by one of my posts here. Using my old theme doesn't do this.
I'm sure there is a fix to this... I just hope I have time to check it out...
