Easier than I thought, whew. I just upgraded my Wordpress software from version 1.5 to 2.0.3. Even though I’ve read a lot of bad things about it, it’s still way better! The best thing is that all my plugins are compatible. But I think I have to upgrade them to their newest versions.

Some plugins I cannot do without:

• Photopress
• Related Posts
• Bunny’s Technorati Tags

If you know of other essential plugins I should include, leave me a note!

Looking for the best deals on computers, peripherals and gadgets in the Philippines?

TipidPC.com is the leading resource for buying and selling brand new and second-hand computer parts and peripherals in the Philippines.

TipidPC is the brainchild of Jesus A. Domingo and has been online since July 2001 (about the same as Alleba.com). I hope to interview Mr. Domingo soon since not much information is available from their site. Nevertheless, TipidPC has an enormous following and has a good number of brick-and-mortar establishments doing business with them. Last I checked, there were 715 users currently browsing the site! Wow.

On the Net: TipidPC.com

It doesn’t just take a great idea to make it big, but actually have the gall to to go for it even if it’s so fantastically stupid.

Take this wise-ass guy from North Pole, Alaska, USA who, for $10, sends your kids realistic letters pretending to be Santa Claus! It’s crazy, but as of last count, he’s sent 200,000 letters already, making him $2 million richer.

And do I even have to mention Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Homepage?
