i don’t know really.. my guess though is that it may have been just a glitch in the design of the game pieces. i think all of the circles wheels have the “0″ fixed on them while the the numbers “2″ “1″ and “.5″ are overlapped using a slot which is shared by the black cover. what could have happened was that when willie pulled on the black cover he may have also pulled on the number “2″ at the same time. what do you think?
My Early Muir Owl by gerogeaye.. congratulations!
it’s been a while since my last blog update.. i guess I’ve just been really busy these past days.. ::sigh:: i don’t really have much to say right now. actually i just woke up.. LOLZ! anyways, I’m off to freshen up.. see you later.. 
oh yes, August is just around the corner… well guess what? it’s good news for us hard working Filipinos! what is it then? two long weekends… that’s right, it has been declared that August 20 and August 27 will be holidays! Ninoy Aquino Day is normally celebrated on the 21, but this year it has been moved to the preceding Monday giving us a longer weekend.. National Heroes’ Day is celebrated on the last Monday of August and naturally falls on the 27… obviously i can’t wait.. LOLZ!
The mailman came by today and i got two packages.. First was the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) CD’s that i had requested. To tell you honestly it was rather quick this time around. That is, compared to my previous request for the 6.06 version.. hehehehe! I kind of felt like taking pictures… So here are a few shots..
Btw, if you want a copy for yourself, just register at https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and request the package you want. The best part of it is its FREE!!
Oh, and my second package? Well it was my SSS id… I really look freaky in the picture so never mind that.. LOL! Better just stick with the Ubuntu for now…
well, obviously this commercial was banned.. funny though! LOL
One Laptop Per Child, a.k.a. OLPC, hopes to bring inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world. And guess what? They are now considering the possibility of allowing these $100 machines to be purchased by the general public. And yes that means you! For them, it’s not about the money, but rather hopes of bringing inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world.
OLPC is considering the plan that the computers would be offered to customers who would have to purchase a minimum of two laptops at a time — with the second going to the developing world.
So, you might be wondering what the specs are right?
-500MHz processor
-128MB of DRAM
-500MB of Flash memory (no hard disk)
-four USB ports
-wireless broadband
-Linux-based Operating System
-dual-mode display (both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black and white reflective and sunlight-readable at 3× the resolution)
not bad for 100$.. i wouldn’t mind getting one..
Time magazine has chosen YOU and ME, the web users, as the “Person Of The Year” (2006).
The official magazine cover of the issue looks like this:
Who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I’m not going to watch Lost tonight. I’m going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I’m going to mash up 50 Cent’s vocals with Queen’s instrumentals? I’m going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion?The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, TIME’s Person of the Year for 2006 is you.
Have you ever wondered how to use the expandable post summaries hack without having “Read more” message appear on every single post? Personally, I find it irritating to have a read more link on a post that doesn’t even need it…
Anyways, I will show you how to hack the expandable post summaries hack using javascript..
First of all, add these codes within your <head> </head> area and right after the closing of your style sheet..
<style>
<MainOrArchivePage>
span.fullpost {display:none;}
</MainOrArchivePage>
<ItemPage>
span.fullpost {display:inline;}
</ItemPage>
</style>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var memory = 0;
var number = 0;
</script>
Next, you have to add the following code to your template, somewhere after the <$BlogItemBody$> tag:
<MainOrArchivePage>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
spans = document.getElementsByTagName(’span’);
number = 0;
for(i=0; i < spans.length; i++){
var c = ” ” + spans[i].className + ” “;
if (c.indexOf(”fullpost”) != -1) {
number++;
}
}
if(number != memory){
document.write(’<a href=”<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>”>Read more…</a><br>’);
}
memory = number;
</script>
</MainOrArchivePage>
For each post that you want to use this feature on, you will need to place this code:
<span class=”fullpost”> </span>
So let’s say that:
Here is the beginning of my post. <span class=”fullpost”>And here is the rest of it. </span>
And that’s it! If you’re wondering if this really works, it does because I just used it on this post.. Hope you enjoy it… and stay tuned I will also show you how to hack the show/hide posts hack.. Until then…
Paypal is now available in the Phillippines!
However it is still not possible to load your account thru credit card, receive funds, or withdraw funds into a local bank account.
This is good considering that we can now pay online through Paypal but with all the constraints, this is still not what i need, which is to pay and recieve money… ^_^ It’s a good start though…
For more info, visit the paypalnow blog.
EDIT: The only thing we could do is pay via paypal with a limit of USD100..
its been two days since our office connection problem, and im just happy to say that WOHOOO the PLDT connection is back!!! now we don’t have to share the 384kbps speed of the backup globelines connection with over 30 computer units.. *sigh* anyways, i just wish that they would also upgrade the globelines plan to a higher bandwidth and have both connections working at the same time.. half of the office running on pldt, the other half on globelines… hehehe!! just to releive the PLDT connection a little more.. hehe!
hmmm… It’s just another one of those days wherein our office connection is slowed to a crawl… This is really bad since I cannot work… Now I have to do some make up work on Saturday… I’ll just have to be patient then… As they say, patience is a virtue. hehe! That’s all for now as I may not be able to publish this entry due to the connection…. hehehe! Wish me luck… ^__^
Hello to all… I don’t really have much to say… Actually I feel kind of tired since I just got home from work. It’s like I never get to leave the computer.
Anyways, i’m just happy that i finally got this blog of mine set up and ready to go. Well at least for the preliminary stage..
That’s all for now. I had better get some sleep!!
