Some Blog Housekeeping

Some of you might notice that I've changed a few things in the ol' blog. The previous template was a drag to update, and since I'm no HTML wiz, I decided to do a revamp of sorts. (Some of you might know that I tend to do this once in a while, so thanks for putting up with me guys. I appreciate it.)


First off, the layout! I have to say, some of Blogger's new semi-dynamic layouts are pretty cool. I went with the "Notable" theme, which is neat, readable, and easy to work with. It has a dynamic header (which is really, really cooool) and a dynamic sidebar (I'm positively cooing here), and I was in love.

Secondly, the ads. If you'll notice, my page is more ad-free. I removed my Infolinks ads since they weren't really doing much, and I figure with the way Blogger's layout is, a more ad-free environment would make my site that much more readable.

A couple of notable exceptions are the sidebar Google ad, and the Project Wonderful ad below. I like those, so I'm keeping 'em.

And finally, I have a new favicon. I'm going to name him TheFatManSilhouette. I guess all I'm doing is aping the classic Alfred Hitchcock silhouette, but I'm a big fan of the man, and he's a fellow fat man. I know it looks like shit, but I'm a moron with Photoshop.

That's it for now. Thanks guys! See you at the races!

Maynilad Water Chronicles: The Clusterf$%#, Part 2

This is the third post in our Maynilad Water chronicles. This time, we will talk about just how inept their record keeping skills are in the face of a massive overhaul in a given area. This involves a technique used by Meralco in high-risk areas called clustering, and is efficient – if utilized correctly. Needless to say, Maynilad has yet to be able to do this.

i Maraming beses na kitang nilayasan Iniwanan at iba ang pinuntahan Parang babaeng mahirap talagang malimutan Ikaw lamang ang aking laging binabalikan Manila, Manila I keep coming back to Manila Simply no place like Manila Manila, I'm coming home I walked the streets of San Francisco I've tried the rides in Disneyland Dated a million girls in Sydney Somehow I feel like I don't belong Hinahanap-hanap kita Manila Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga Mga Jeepney mong nagliliparan Mga babae mong naggagandahan Take me back in your arms Manila And promise me you'll never let go Promise me you'll never let go Manila, Manila Miss you like hell, Manila No place in the world like Manila I'm coming here to stay ii.

Maynilad Water Chronicles: The Curious Case of the Disappearing Meter

One of the biggest problems I’ve encountered these past few weeks is the inexplicable inefficiency of Maynilad Water. I don’t even know where to begin; this is how impossible the situation is. So I’ll go and separate things into multiple stories. This is the first case in this series.
