Drupal 6 Installation and Configuration - Review and Intro
There is a lot to rave about Drupal 6. The pages have less clutter, thanks to collapsible sections. The installation process has been streamlined, with helpful hints throughout the steps and drag and drop is now available (like in rearranging your blocks).
How easy is it to install and configure Drupal? It took me less than 5 minutes to do it. The steps below assume you already have Apache, MySQL and PHP (AMP) installed. If not, scroll down to the bottom of this post, where I explain shortcuts to getting and installing AMP.

Free WiFi Hotspots in the Philippines
Updated January 2010.After returning from Australia, I instantly noticed the large banner at Megamall: FREE WI-FI! Apparently, all SM Malls now offer free WiFi. This really helped my wife and I to survive our Internet-less house for almost two months (can you believe?). Megamall became our virtual office during those Net-less days.
The Power of Drupal Categories
Drupal Taxonomy: the power to organize and reorganize
The Drupal Taxonomy module (aka Categories) is one of its most powerful features. Combined with its hooks, Drupal allows administrators to organize and reorganize content easily, giving more flexibility for knowledge sharing in an organization that continuously discovers better ways to share knowledge.

UStream versus GMA Network
Manny Pacquiao chalked another historic victory today by beating Golden Boy Oscar dela Hoya. That news is old by now.
What's unique in our experience is the way we watched it. My wife Data could not wait for the local telecast, which was much-delayed and peppered with too many ads. So she found a webcast of the show, courtesy of UStream. (How was this possible? Some Pinoys who had HBO pay-per-view put a webcam in front of the TV -- we could hear their chatter as the game progressed.)

Yes, Pinoys Can!
I've been helping an all-Filipino team to create a consumer tech product. Sorry, can't give out details for now. But here is what we can reveal for now.
It's something that will demonstrate that we Filipinos can produce a tech product locally. The R&D is being done garage-style -- lower costs, virtual collaboration, team mates contributing labor beyond their day jobs because they believe in this project.
Help us generate awareness on the project. If you're interested to blog about it or write a story about it for any type of media, feel free to repost the messages below. You may also contact me through rubencanlas(at)gmail(dot)com.
