I have been visiting WordPress a lot these days. One of their sections intrigued me. It is called WikiWiki. Wiki was one of the words I got acquainted with some years ago when I was fishing for CGI-powered website creators. While going through these programs, I came across web collaboration softwares that called itself "Wiki." Since I was not interested in collaboration tools, I didn't pay much attention. But then I saw how a Wiki works at WordPress, and I got intrigued. Imagine an ...
My Beloved Is Home that old familiar scent burnt wood in a dew caressed morn wafted through my nostrils waking me up from my noonday slumber that old familiar call a voice I've heard these so many years giving me delight each time I hear my name if I could speak I would have said: "Here I am, my beloved!" But I am only a dog, and with sincerity and devotion, I say: "Awrf! Awrf! Awrf!"
It would have been great if I could read JoeUser's blogs without opening my web browser. With the pop ups certain programs have been creating through my IE, I find it quite annoying when I log into JoeUser and once in a while a window suddenly comes out unprovoked. That's why the Blog Navigator was a good idea. Except that when I downloaded it and tried to install it, it simply refused to get into my Windows 98! What is this snobbery! So instead of the Blog Navigator, I downloaded the Ac...
Luke chapter 15 is the great chapter on God's mercy and compassion. It is composed mainly of parables dealing with the theme "Lost and Found." The main topic of the chapter, however, is the Pharisees' observation that Jesus mingles with sinners. The following parables constitute Jesus' justification of his mingling with sinners. The series of parables are meant to reach a climax in the story of the Father and his two sons, beginning in verse 11. Many refer to this story as "The Story o...
I've been checking out a new service which claims to increase the hits to one's blogs through a scheme that reminds one of banner exchanges. I've tried banner exchanges once when I was starting out as a webmaster to increase hits to my site, but I soon got tired of the demainds it made one me like visiting and rating other banner exchange members, making and posting banners for rotation, etcetera. When I checked into this service, I found out that it worked using similar principles. He...
Reading a news article today from one of our tabloid newspapers intrigued me. It insinuated that with Shaq, Malone, Payton and Derek Fisher gone, Kobe Bryant is now the undisputed leader of the Lakers basketball team. Perhaps it was not an insinuation but a statement of fact. However, when I recall the recent Lakers-Pistons championship games where at one point I saw a Kobe Bryant who was asking for a pass from team mates, the news article really raises questions in my head. Was the loss ...
Someone asked me a question some time ago about a particular event involving the Ark of the Covenant and Uzza. The episode is found in 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles 2 Sam 6:6-7 6 ¶ And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. 7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. The question w...
A tagalog news report from a local tabloid carried this article: Bush Avoids Gloria (Macapagal-Arroyo) US President George Bush refused to receive calls from President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and may continue avoiding any meetings with her during the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference summit to be held in Chile. This was noticed by some US observers who said that the American government was clearly disappointed with the recent Philippine elections which was worse than the one in Ind...
I was going through some old copies of Newsweek this morning and I found the August 24, 2002 issue quite interesting because of an article entitled "Living In The Blog-Osphere". The article goes from page 42 to 45. The article is interesting in itself already, and perhaps it can still be read at http://newsweek.msnbc.com unless it has been taken out altogether from the server. But here's something that I learned about only after reading the article. A Blogspeak Primer Blog or Weblog ...
I've worked with several PHP and CGI scripts which I've tried on my websites. After after about five years of tweaking them and making them work, I have come up with a few conclusions regarding them. Here I think are the best two PHP scripts that one can download for free and use for one's website: 1. GeekLog. This handsome programme is easy to install. It comes with a lot of templates and plugins that one can use for one's site. The GeekLog community is also one of the busiest in th...
A Convert's Prayer I drag my feet to your altar weary uneven steps shuffling my arthritis is really a pain. I kneel on one knee before your image I do homage O Virgin, most pure, undefiled. Just a poor wretch am I with years of sin behind me listen to my prayer. Help me find rest for my weary feet Let this lost soul find home at last Under your mantle I seek protection Hide me from your Son's wrath. Come Judgment day remember me. ******************* On July 23, 20...
To blog or not to blog, that is the question. But a question nonetheless that needs an answer. To blog or not to blog, then? Whether one or the other doesn't matter.
