English-Pilipino-English online translator

This English-Pilipino-English online translator doesn’t translate sentences at all. Translating single words are more or less accurate. And don’t even attempt to translate a web page. It spits pure garbage.

Swimming in circles

Confucious died. Well he probably died of loneliness or fatigue. I mean…what the heck? He had been swimming in circles nonstop for almost 2 days (?) . I swear, he was one weird fish . He killed all my fish… Time to buy new ones and this time I’m getting really tiny ones. Any advice?

Oh I still have my thai fighting fish. What a survivor!

playing with the nokia 6600

I was playing with my mom’s Nokia 6600 and was amazed at how many themes (not just wallpaper) she had installed…

A few of the themes I liked were:

Nemo… MY FAVORITE!!

Shrek and Resident Evil theme

Detouching

This Detouching Photoshop contest is crazy. Just makes me wonder how the stars really look like without airbrushing galore.

All ye domain whores and….

Hear ye domain whores ….

I’ve got the right plan for you…. a Domain management / reseller plan . You can put all your domains or even your friends domains together in one plan . Starting at $11.95 a month for an 800 GB diskspace and 20 GB bandwidth . Yup, what more can you ask for? Affordable plans with premium network and services! We’ll even give you advice on how to start your own webhosting business. Not many hosting companies offer this. Contact us here.

Not a domain whore? No worries. Maybe, you’re a protagger?

You’ve got a special treat.

Interested? Compare reseller plans or shared hosting plans

If you didn’t know this…. yesterday. the Protagonist WebHosting finally moved to its own dedicated server. We’re still using the same premium Mzima bandwidth and reliable datacenter located at One Wilshire , Los Angeles, California that has given us fantastic uptime and speed for the past year.

Happy birthday Reverie!

Happy 18th Birthday Reverie!

With Lots of hugs,
From the Protagonist Community

XHTML 1.1 layout

It’s been a year since BLOGGED had a new layout. Waahh. Just shows you how lazy I am. So here’s a new and simple layout taken from Ruthsarian layouts. It’s a three column CSS-based layout that allows for separate background images for each column. This layout will degrade in version 4 and under browsers but retains the logical structure. It also uses Horizontal and Vertical navigational elements based on unordered lists. It’s nothing special but it has all the elements I want.

It’s supposed to be XHTML 1.1 but I will still have to validate it when I have more time.

“The Apl Song” July 26 campaign RECAP

My aunt from San Francisco just sent me an email about the Black Eyed Peas’ “The Apl Song” . She said that they were looking at “out of the box thinking” ways for the American politicians to act on the plight of our World War II Filipino veterans.

Well what happened to the July 26 campaign?

Lost in Quiapo

It was my first time in Quiapo last Sunday and I took this opportunity to take pictures of characters and sights I might never see in other parts of the city. .

I have 3 announcements : Server move, new hosting plans and promotional deals.

First, the server move. Yes we will move to a dedicated server on July 28 at 9:00 PM US Pacific time . For those in Singapore or Philippines time zone, that is on Thursday, July 29 at 12 noon. There is no downtime because once the move is over, I will switch the host nameservers immediately.

This new server will be fully managed and maintained by reliable and qualified sysadmins and technicians who will ensure that your site will be up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We will still use the same datacenters that have given us fantastic uptime for the past year. Remember, we have bandwidth connectivity from only top tier 1 bandwidth providers including Mzima bandwidth, a blended provider of Teleglobe, Global Crossing and Verio, with over 75 peers. Our server is operated out of the equinix/pihana and One Wilshire facilities in Los Angeles, California.
