Once more, this proves we are slaves to social conditioning. Because sitting languidly on a “throne” was deemed more civilized than the ways of crude native folk, we have embraced it as the proper way to sit. If you have ever felt, as many, many people do, that after you have evacuated, there is still something left, here is the reason: The anal canal is UNSTRAIGHTENED when seated. Bowel evacuation […]
I am a stickler for remembering what happened to me exactly one year ago, and if need be, the year before that, the year before that, and so on. Case in point: September 28. Last year, particularly last November 22, Stellify.net officially resolved to the Filcode nameservers and appeared on the web. (Not for the first time, though.) Perpetually in Pre-Release (That’s one of the taglines I made for Qwerky.) […]
This feature of WordPress the_date() template tag is quirky to me, but I guess it works that way in most blog engines out there. I came across this cautionary message in the WordPress Codex for the_date() function, pointed to me through the Support Forum when I had trouble getting to show dates in some posts (I was tinkering with another layout I made).
I’ve been riding the Ikot jeepney most of my life. Sometimes, when I manage to get out of the University and then come back in through a UP-Philcoa or UP-Pantranco-Highway-MRT jeep, I ask myself whether I should get off at the University Avenue checkpoint since it’s the first stop and along the quickest route to my home, via jeep. But whether it’s dark outside or still early in the afternoon, […]
Someone has listed ten reasons why, all radical, to say the least. While I totally agree with his discussion on the following— Gaining experience: This is a major item on my things-I-think-about-at-night list. It’s been bugging me ever since I took a not-so-conventional job. In any case, I want to experience things and milk life for what it’s worth. Social brainwashing: It’s a conspiracy! Related to gaining experience, we have […]
What you give is what you get could be the spelled out version of an acronym that’s much catchier than “The Golden Rule.” And if I’d have to rename TotallyDeserved.com, I’d probably use that. (Hmm, WYGIWYG has potential; I wonder how to use it without being a copycat!)
I hadn’t bought a notebook cooler for Risk just because I never felt the need to, but like most laptops out there, Risk gets warm too. Suck or blow? Most cooling pads I looked at had the same basic look: a rectangular pad with two or three fans inside, hooking up to the laptop’s power via USB. Some were obviously some cheap plastic, while some allegedly had the perfect cooling […]
I have absolute faith in Akismet. All the spam that piles up under that submenu feels much less annoying because Akismet’s there. And although I, like her, am usually ticked off that there are hundreds of spam comments that plague Qwerky ever so often, the first spam attempt at Stellify made me smile. And I’ve never needed to try any WordPress anti-spam plugin since. Just a reminder, though, Akismet is […]
