How to Twitter from your mobile phone
Uh oh.. I just realized that sending mobile status updates to Twitter actually costs around Php10-15 per message because it is an international number in London… DOH! Update: I found a cheap way to post mobile updates to Twitter. Anyway, Phtwitters is a gateway which allows you to post to Twitter and at the same time only costing you Php 1.00 per message. Just follow...
Decided to stop importing my Twitter status posts individually since it clutters my tumblog. Instead, I just placed an auto-updating Twitter badge in my about section :D

Testing twitter from my mobile phone =D
Just got back from my long weekend super adventure from Manila -> Banaue -> Bontoc -> Sagada -> Baguio -> Manila. It was such an unforgettable experience.
My mom wasn’t kidding when she told me I had a GIANT SIOPAO waiting in the fridge when I got back from Sagada. I’ll post a photo tomorrow :)
Dropped our bags at Ken’s place and had had lunch at Mildreds. I’m now in the computer lab on the 6th floor of Yuchengco… still have 2 classes this afternoon but I can’t wait to go to Sagada. Our bus leaves at 10:45 pm tonight so we have to be at the Florida bus station in Espana at least an hour before. Everything is ready I hope.

goodbye PSP
Yeah… I’m letting my PSP go to fund my other activities such as watching the Maroon 5 concert and my future travel to Sagada/Ilocos. Any takers? It’s a black PSP Slim, well taken cared of (the only minor scratches on the unit was caused by the crystal case). I’m selling it for Php 9,000 bundled with the following: Original Box Charger 4 GB Hi-Speed Sony Memorystick...

Me: SQL Server doesn't have varchar(255). Just varchar(50) and varchar(max).
Kevin: 255 = max?
Me: varchar(max) can hold up to 2^31 bytes of data, or 2,147,483,648 characters.
Kevin: FTW =D
