WordPress 2.7 Beta 1

Posted on November 1, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

When we attended the WordCamp Philippines 2008 last September, the highlight of the event was the unveiling of the new WordPress called 2.7 which is due this November.

First I have been putting off writing a post about this because my memory card got busted and all my photos were there. I have forgotten about this until I remembered that the files were recovered. Bah.

In the State of the Word talk, Matt showed us some photos of this 2.7 version.

WP 2.7 dashboard.

WordPress 2.7 Plugin page.

For now, the WP 2.7 is still in Beta 1. Click here to read about it. Click here if you want to download and test.

I would probably wait until the end of the month, the probable time they will have the final release, before I download this version. For now, I wait. Impatiently 😀

When Darkness Comes…

Posted on October 30, 2008 by greenbucks| 52 Comments

Darkness is the opposite of light, it is the absence of light.

There are many interpretations for darkness.

One of the most obvious one is the darkness of the night. When night time comes, so many things happen at the same time: people rushing home from work, birds finding resting places in trees, people sitting down to eat supper, people relaxing after a hard day at work and getting ready to rest to face another day.

On the other hand, there are those who hurry to go to their work. Some keep us safe and sound as we rest.

And so we rest when darkness falls:

Ang kadiliman ay kabaligtaran ng liwanag, ito ay kawalan ng liwanag.

Maraming interpretasyon ang kadiliman.

Ang pinakamadaling isipin ay ang pagkagat ng dilim sa hapon. Sa gabi, maraming bagay-bagay ang mga nangyayari: nagmamadali ang mga tao umuwi mula sa kanilang trabaho, pati mga ibon ay naghahanap kung saan magpapahinga sa mga puno, maghahapunan na ang mga tao at pagkatapos naman nito, sila ay magpu-Plurk magre-relaks na bago matulog.

Sa kabila nito, meron namang mga tao na naghahanda upang pumunta sa kani-kanilang trabaho, kaya nga kahit gabi na, maliwanag pa din sa siyudad. Ang iba ay gising upang mapangalagaan ang ating kaligtasan (harinawa ganun nga).

Sunset Colors

Posted on October 28, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment


The sky is first filled with colors,

Then with darkness when the sun sets,

We rest our weary bodies and reflect on how we lived the day.

We look forward to what tomorrow brings,

And pray that we will still be around to see,

The next setting of the sun.

Annoying People

Posted on October 26, 2008 by greenbucks| 7 Comments

Yes, there are many annoying people we have met. Of course, we can not remove the fact that we ourselves can be annoying to some people too.

Before I get lost enumerating why others find me annoying (hehehe… I know about this of course) let me just ask the Weekly Question:

Who is the most annoying person that you have been unfortunate to have met in person?

My answer:

Maynilad Service is a Joke

Posted on October 25, 2008 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

I have written about how we have been having so much difficulty with our Maynilad water services (or lack of it) in this post I wrote a few months ago.

Last month, we had an abundance of water supply. I was happy I didn’t need to get water from our faucet outside the front door and at last, our bathroom faucets finally has water! During those glorious weeks I was able to wash clothes in the washing machine that has been just a drier for clothes washed outside. I was able to mop the floors. I thoroughly enjoyed scrubbing both bathrooms for there was plenty of water from 1pm till 9pm.

There was no water in the kitchen and bathrooms’ faucets nor in the shower but that’s fine with me. I thought this would go on for a long time until we got this:
