WordCamp Philippines 2009

WordCamp Philippines  2009 was  a mixture of different resource speakers who gave interesting talks. Congratulations to the organizers. Woot, woot!

Beau Lebens represented WordPress. Beau’s presentation can be read here.

Markku Seguerra presented WordPress in the wild with topics about deployment,  performance, optimization and security.

I enjoyed Danny Arao’s lecture on being responsible bloggers.

I guess a lot of  bloggers need to be reminded that not because they have the freedom to express their opinions mean that need not practice restraint. And tact. ‘Nuff said.

Seth Bindernagel spoke about the localization of Mozilla. This is Seth’s presentation as seen in Scribd. Translation in Filipino?  Hmmm…

Jeff of VisitSagada.com talked about writing and blogging and yes, it is advisable to “not burn bridges and be nice”. Positivity rules.

Gail Villanueva (her presentation is here) and Karla Redor talked about things tags, CMS,  plugins, custom field, and the like. (Pass the tissue please, am having a nosebleed, hehe)

Mommy Bloggers

When fellow mommy bloggers get together expect a lot of topics to be covered.

We sure have an opinion or two on varied topics like child care, schooling, discipline, health care, product reviews and even life insurance leads. Oh yeah, have I mention showbiz talk too? (rolls eyes, lol!)

This friendship  with fellow mommy bloggers though has taken a step further.

How so? Because we do not only get together to have dinners or lunches or go to blog events, we also write about about our experiences especially since we know we are able to help and learn from other moms like us.

Blogging surely has come a long way and yes, we attest to the fact that “Motherhood is a journey best traveled with friends”

Exercising Indoors

We have been amiss going to that place where we can do walking and biking. The weather has been odd these past few weeks and we definitely do not want to be caught in a downpour with nowhere to go to for protection.

With flu (A(H1N1) season almost at its peak, being exposed to the elements is not a priority. Yeah right, even if the mid-body weight seem to be accumulating fast.

Yes, I am in need of physical exercise not just to stretch the legs and be active but to be able to sweat it out.

I once asked hubby if it is a good idea to get that step-exercise machine I saw at a nearby mall or perhaps take a look at the treadmills on display for an alternative physical exercise indoors.

But as I continue bouncing on this TheraBand ball I am sitting on, I came to realize that having fancy exercise machines can’t make me get up and move if i do not haul my *** off this seat and move.

Well, i really need to do that, after I have posted this 😉

WordPress 2.7 Beta 1

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 😀
