Markku Seguerra’s weblog on web design, photography, and other things of interest.
I’ve been looking for a CD of the album released by The Jerks several years ago, containing the songs Rage and Sayaw Sa Bubog, and many other great ones. Record stores tell me it’s now out of print. Can you help me? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I just heard from friends here at the office that Carrie Underwood beat Bo Bice for the fourth American Idol title. The rocker should’ve won, and I’m sure a lot would agree.
Mathias passed me the baton, so I’ll get this out quick. I need some sleep.
Total volume of music files on my computer. I currently have around 16 GB of music on my PC, and then some on our iPod.
The last CD I bought. The latest legal music CD I bought was Inuman Sessions Volume 1 by Parokya ni Edgar.
Song playing right now. Jonas belting out Man in the Mirror, and just a few minutes ago it was our version of 214.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me. Right at this moment, these songs would be Madonna’s Crazy For You, Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby, Mr. Big’s To Be With You, The Beatles’ Here, There and Everywhere, and last would probably be Rivermaya’s Himala.
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton. I gotta hear about this from Sherwin, Weng, Raych, Joey, and Nanette.
Some of you might be wondering where the MySQL version of iPAP is — so have a look at Hannu’s photos. Coding has not stopped for the past few weeks, and the codebase is now completely migrated to MySQL. I’m refining the administration interface, and will be working on the new template. Mathias has some surprises up his sleeves as well.
revolutionx.net has a nice set of wedding photos, presented through a well–customized iPAP install. If you have some photos on iPAP that you’d like to share, leave your link!
For Anonymous sonovabitch: “If you drop by my site and insult my heritage, you should at least have balls enough to leave an indication of who you are so I can generalize from how stupid your way of thinking how idiotic your particular race/gender/IQ group/scientific dictgenus is.” Comment spam really sucks, but stupid commenters trolls are the worst.
Yuga likes iPAP, he told me at iBlog. Wait for the MySQL–ported version, it should be snappier and the upcoming features will surely be interesting.
Globe should have G–Cash over web transactions. Ka Edong already pointed this out several months ago. Having an online credit card to g–cash gateway would surely open unlimited opportunities for many Filipinos, like micropayments for content publishers and other services. Doing so would establish the telco as one of the premier innovators in the GSM arena, further strengthening the application that earned the first ever “Best Mobile Messaging Service” award given by the GSM Association.
This kind of service would provide its subscribers a viable option for online transactions, perhaps similar to Paypal when it was made available a few years back. Partner with major credit card networks and you’ve got the killer service that would stamp Globe in the worldwide map of tech innovators and visionaries.
I was at iBlog last Saturday with Raych and Joey. Ran into Ederic and Mec, and finally met several pinoy bloggers I’ve been reading regularly, but the highlight of my day was finally meeting The Sassy Lawyer and Yuga, the people behind the popular pinoyblog community. I really enjoyed Dean Alfar’s talk, informative and insanely witty. The Sassy Lawyer discussed weblog traffic and content, providing guidelines for effective blogging. But listening to her talk about trolls on her blog was a bit more entertaining. 
I just had a new mod chip swapped into our PS2 and just saw the graphical beauty of Gran Turismo 4! I’ve got a headache that’s killing me, but I’ll play this thing after iBlog tomorrow, unless something important comes up. See you in the morning at the blog summit!
I emailed Nanette to ask for the URL of her current blog, and she wrote back telling me she just posted an entry regarding her recent visit to Berlin, with photos! Lucky girl, these are places I could only dream of.
Warning: This entry doesn’t make much sense.
1995, pisay. Nothing really mattered back then, just the simple worries of youth. All we did was play, play, and play again. And then there was the band. Five boys dreaming of making it big, with the Eraserheads as our role model. Hoping for our own “Pare Ko” and “Alapaap.” We were destined for something, but I’m just not sure if this it now. Two doctors, two engineers, and a CompSci major moonlighting as a gigolo in Hongkong. Okay, that was a bad joke.
I’m just blabbing on the keyboard again, because I couldn’t write a decent intro to pimp our recordings. After several years of recording on analog, we’ve finally embraced modern technology — we used a microphone plugged to a PC. Recording raw and straight, just two guitars, a k-hon, and Jonas’ trademark piyok. Don was absent, as usual. Si Carlo? Nasa Hongkong — daw. Hehe. An old el cheapo mic through my SBLive soundcard, post–prod in Audacity and exported to mp3.
I’ve been apprehensive regarding sharing these songs online, since I’d be making big fools of ourselves. But what the heck, I’d rather be doing this at 26 than at 40. But Carlo’s 28 27. Ewan, hehehe.
Now that you’re probably downloading the songs and sucking my bandwidth, it’s a good time to thank the informal members of the band. Kung kasama namin kayo sa jam na to nagmukha din kayong tanga. Popol, Sherwin, Inciong, Jourdan, Paul, Jeph — meron pa ba? Basta lahat kayo, tara jam tayo!
Edit: I’m taking down the link to the songs for the rest of the month to stay within my bandwidth limit, but they’ll be back next month. But you can still get them now if you let me know.
Edit: The download links are now back!
Today is 05–05–05 — May 5, 2005. Wala lang. Masarap kaya mag–555 sardines ngayon? Ngye, ang corny. Hirap kasi kapag bangag ka na at 3 in the morning, pretending to work. Hehehe. Wala magawa kundi kumain at mag–net. Sandali ayan na, may bagong tracker — totoong trabaho muna.
