A funny note: The planet runs 13 days per year. So there should be at most 3 holidays if we're going to live there. XD



Um... I'm not sure about "Second Earth". All evidence regarding its characteristics seem inconclusive as of now. But IT is promising. It's something to keep an eye on.

It's summer time!

We (in the North of Italy) are having 29° C (84.2° F) here.

What's your temperature? Summer already there?


Coming from a tropical country, a high of 30° C is usual. Now that it's summer here as well, it could climb to 32-34° C! Tongue Out

The effect is felt here in the Philippines as well -- my Internet connection was down the whole day. When it finally was up again, browsing Web sites hosted outside Asia is a pain.

I pinged channel9.msdn.com to see how responsive it is from here.


It's been a while since I was in Manila, does PLDT still have a monopoly over telecommunications? (and has ADSL been rolled out yet?), I used to be in Makati.


From my "personal observations", PLDT still dominates the telecom market here. It's pretty much PLDT vs. Globe Telecom (the 2nd placer) here. ADSL is here (I am on ADSL btw), and is getting cheaper and cheaper (PLDT's and Globe's home DSL service is now at only ~PhP1000/month).

I think Internet traffic from East Asia to the US will be diverted to Europe in the meantime... which means Web browsing will be slower than usual. For me, it's gonna be hell browsing the Web this week.

Bummer. Sad[C]
