When you’re watching ABS-CBN’s Umagang Kayganda over breakfast, with your *clueless* mom, and you suddenly blurt out something along the lines of, “Hey! Look at that show’s logo! It looks like an RSS button!” Grrr.

I know that’s hardly what I can call “news”, but I just wanted to have a way to explain the sudden weirdness my blog caused yesterday (say, the 10 posts that suddenly appeared in your feed readers?). I just moved my blog to Dreamhost from its home for more than a year with HostingPH. It’s sad to have to say goodbye to my old web hosting where my so-called netrepreneurship efforts began (lol!), but I can no longer afford to keep two hosting plans. Besides, it would be unwise not to make use of the vast bandwidth and disk space Dreamhost provides, so I might as well put them to good use. If you need someone to host your domain, you can contact me.
HostingPH (aka Pinoyhosting), my former web host, was just okay. I didn’t have problems with them in general and they did respond immediately to my inquiries but what I don’t like about them is their not-so-friendly staff. I hated those times when I was in a panic mode needed them to help me with something and they would just reply with a one-liner e-mail. Mostly with just a “phrase” too. I mean, it wouldn’t hurt them to show a little – but genuine – concern, would it?
Anywho, that’s all in the past! It’s time to move on. There were plenty of errors around here yesterday (e.g. images embedded in entries were nowhere to be found, and some of the plugins weren’t working), but I got them all fixed today. I think.
If you’re planning to move your WordPress blog from one web host to another, there’s a lot of tips out there that you might want to read first. To put it simply though, you must make sure you backup your files, transfer them to your new host, and modify the nameservers of your domain first before you cancel your account with your current host. Do it the other way around and you just might be forced to say goodbye to all the blog posts, comments, images, and other data you’ve collected over the past years! Or less. Whatever. :D

To those who enjoyed the funny photos I embedded in my previous post, I forgot to include one more photo that you might want to see! How could I have neglected this guy? I mean, he clearly has the hardest job among the group, not to mention, the greasiest. I’m sure the fumes aren’t doing him any good in there too. Poor guy. I wouldn’t smoke in there if I were him though! » Read the rest of the entry..
What a worse way to start the week! I have a running nose, a throbbing head, and a fuzzy eyesight. I used to think that I’m not the kind that gets sick after I get myself wet from walking in the rain, but last Saturday night proved me wrong. While I was on my way to a couple of friends’ birthday, it started to pour hard. And since I forgot to bring an umbrella (that night of all nights!), I didn’t have a choice but to run in the rain. I wanted to wait but the dark sky that night looked like it didn’t have plans of going away anytime soon. So when I got to her place I was soaking wet… The air conditioner was on… I stayed there for more or less 12 hours… You get the picture.
But I did have a fun weekend! Friday night, I was with Riz. And Saturday night, with these guys. Thanks, friends! Ang kukulit nyo! I had the best time. :)
So, it’s Monday again (the day of the week that I dread the most) and I’m sick. Way to kick me when I’m down!!
Good thing my job is not anything like these guys… » Read the rest of the entry..
