Paano ako naliligo

Ang paliligo ay isang simpleng bagay na ginagawa natin araw-araw. Tayo ay Pilipino. Hindi na natin pinag-iisipan yan. Automatic na sa atin tulad ng pagkain at pagtsi-tsismis. Ito ay naisip ko habang ako naliligo. Mamaya ko na ikukwento kung paano ako naliligo. Talakayin muna natin ang mga ugali, pamamaraan, gamit at iba pang may kinalaman sa paliligo.

Missing dialup numbers

What’s up with these ISPs selling prepaid internet cards? They do not bother to publish their dialup numbers on their website. Yes I know they include it and the manual together with the card. My problem is that I have a bad habit of losing those papers. Their problem is that they have no list of their access numbers on their website.

I am reminiscing the days when I was still playing this card game from Wizards of the Coast. Those were the times when I, together with addicted boardmates, would go to tournaments. We lose on most of them.

All these are fueled by the mass media. Some are factual, some are hyped. As what is always expected from the media, the situation is mostly negative. Negative news outweight the positive.

Mesothelioma Ads are cheap

I don’t know what’s the hype with using mesothelioma keywords for adsense. I’ve seen blogs that spam their post with the word. As a result, adsense will display ads about mesothelioma. I was puzzled and motivated to find out if this is true.

GIMPShop: No more photoshop for me

I am a convert. Now, I do not have any reason to use Adobe Photoshop. It is not installed in my computer and I have no plan of installing. The conversion process started when I reformatted by hard drive. I forgot that I lost my Photoshop installer. Since I do not have any image editing tool around except MS Paint I was forced to install The GIMP from my Ubuntu Linux live cd. The GIMP is so hard to use. Then I remembered I’ve read somewhere that someone has made a Photoshop look alike using The GIMP. Of course Google search prove useful again (I should have use Blingo). I found GIMPShop. Download size for WinXP is only 8 MB.

Internet Cafe Costing: Electricity

I am conducting a feasibility study of my internet cafe project. For me to be able to determine the price for pc rental, I will have to, first, determine the average monthly cost of variables like electricity, rent, payroll, broadband access, and maintenance. The rent, broadband access and payroll are predictable. They are very easy to determine. It is electricity and maintenance of the pc and the place that vary. Electricity is my main concern. I need feedback on this one.
