My Globe Broadband and P2P

Internet and Personal

Globe Broadband hates me when I’m using P2P. Don’t know how they did it but it is the case now. I read on a tech blog regarding the same issue. There were mentions of an ISP caps which “could” probably be applied. Almost the same time I read that, I started noticing that my connection [...]

Mt. Pinatubo Eruption Day Anniversary

Personal, Squirt and Uttered Utter Randomness

Movies

Home. The first sentence alone was enough to sit through this movie, not that it’s bad and all, but in fact, I find this documentary better than Gore’s.
I think this is three things: a window to the most stunningly beautiful places in the world, the most brutal depiction of exploitation  and resource exploitation man had [...]
