I’ve installed the new Firefox 3 Beta 1 on my Windows XP system back home. At first sight, nothing is so much noticeable about the new version. Only the bookmark button on the location bar is visibly different. But I’d share to you some features I’ve tried and liked, hoping you’d like them, too.

Read the full review of Firefox 3 on my Weblog.

Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is now litereally “in the game” in Second Life.

I’ve been waiting for this version’s release months ago. But since I haven’t much time understanding code, and trying to help determining bugs and fixes to trunk/development builds, I opted to wait for its more stable beta release. The only problem is that my computer is out of reach during weekdays. Tough luck.

I guess it was just a matter of time before someone creates something like this. Might as well do it myself. Technorati Tag Cloud Widget for WordPress 2.3 is now available for download.

Start your morning bright and (possibly counter)productive

In a previous post, I posed the question “what’s next?” I guess it was just a matter of time before I try digging deeper into WordPress 2.3′s taxonomy schema, more specifically, the native tag cloud support.

There’s nothing wrong with WordPress 2.3, honestly. At least, for me. I like it, even if a lot of people aren’t very happy with the database changes it made in the background. I can’t blame them. No matter how many times someone explains the impact those changes will make, it will still confuse most of the WordPress users out there, including me.

So what did I do now? I wrote another plugin that will display the tag cloud linking to Technorati instead of the blog. A plugin involving Technorati tags again? Do I have an unknown addiction to Technorati? Do I love Technorati that much?

With the current lack of features of WordPress 2.3 with regards to tagging, I first wrote a hack to display the available tags while Writing a Post. This way, the blogger would know which tag they would like to reuse.

After a few minutes of tinkering with the core files, I decided to try making a plugin that would mimic Ultimate Tag Warrior’s ability to display Technorati tags, a feature that I sorely miss, having to let go of the plugin I have come to know and love. I definitely know I have to do something about it. It’s the OCD-ridden kid in me that just has to scratch this itch.

Last weekend, no thanks to my husband’s insistence, I tagged along the Philippine leg for Software Freedom Day in the ASTI Building of the University of the Philippines Diliman. The event was co-organized by the Computer Professionals Union (CPU) et al.

I was apprehensive as we approached the ASTI building. Baka naman hindi ako maka-relate pag nandoon na? I’m not a computer geek, much less a techie! I still think of computers as
extended typewriters. I covet gadgets mostly on the basis of sheer visual appeal. Installing even the simplest of devices or programs scares the bejeezus out of me. My idea of troubleshooting an errant computer involves a lot of hard hand slaps on cold plastic surfaces and colorful invectives hurled out of frustration. Continued here.
