Missing MLQ3’s blog

Humor or hack? – My daily read is closed. I thought he was just installing or upgrading his WordPress, when earlier this morning the title was “quezon”. I checked a couple of minutes ago and it’s changed to “jacobin”, a club-name of the most famous of the political clubs of the French Revolution (accd. to Wikipedia).

jacobin

Update – Ok, Tor was disabled when I went to MLQ3’s blog earlier. Now that I have enabled Tor, the site is back up again. Tor off off, Tor on on. Weird. Is Tor caching pages?

Yo, Mike

I was looking for articles about the Israel-Lebanon affair, trying to understand what it’s all about, when news came out on the “overheard” dialog between Bush and Blair. It got my attention so instead I got to reading transcripts and watching the vids. Gee, these guys are really frustrated about what’s happening. Dubya in one of his rare serious (sic) moments.

Contemplating on the seriousness of the situation was over when I got home to seeing Mike Enriquez over at GMA 7’s news discussing the Bush-Blair dialog. “O, ayan o, huling huli si President Bush na nagmumura… mga kapuso… ang binanggit ho nyang salita ay 4-letters na nagsisimula sa letter S at nagtatapos sa letter T.”

The guy is totally lost focusing on “shit” and not trying to explain to the viewers how this is a rare moment for Bush to show a sincere expression; and therefore, how serious the situation is in the Middle East.

Transcripts of the overheard dialog here and here.

Of freebies

Welcome my first entry in wordpress.com

I came to a halt on blogging after I went back from Belgium last December 2005. Although I plan on it, I never got to get myself blog. To think, blogging is one of the reason I got DSL subscription at the house.

My previous blog site at fil.ph has been down for God knows how long. It was a good experience setting up my own WordPress blog– PHP and MySQL and all that, on a remote server. But their freebie service just can’t cut it, I guess. I used to run my own server much longer than that freebie at fil.ph, but running it got kinda expensive.

So here I am at WordPress.com. Free.

And since I’m talking about freebies, I am also currently setting up my online resume at emurse.com. It beats the hell out of MS Word in resume composition, I’d say.
