Wishing all my readers, friends and family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Pic Your President

Andrew — Tue, 04 May 2010 04:25:42 +0000

There’s only a few days until the elections. Here is your chance to be heard! Pic Your President is an engaging, visual mock poll that allows users to vote for their Presidential candidate and state why they are voting for him or her. A user can vote only once using their Facebook account, but has the option to agree or disagree about others’ votes and opinions. Looks like Dick Gordon is making a killing as I write this, he has 817 votes so far! Gibo Teodoro is second with 333 votes. Noynoy fans where are you?!?

Piclyf is a pet project of my startup company, Twidl Inc. Help spread the word!

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! Let’s try to be more aware of our surroundings and think of what we could do to help protect it. That is the gist of Earth Day. Love our Mother Earth!

Google loves our planet, so expect a Google Doodle very soon. And they love telescopes too. Expect a surprise on the 24th!

Hireme Template for Jobberbase 1.8

Andrew — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 06:16:21 +0000

Here is the Hireme Template for Jobberbase 1.8. I hacked the original template used on Hireme.sg for My Davao Jobs. I posted the site on the Jobberbase forums to show it off, forgot about it, until somebody emailed me to say that some people wanted the template. Due to my busy schedule and selective amnesia, I wasn’t able to revisit the template and work on its release. I don’t remember all the hacks that I did, neither did I validate it, so please use at your own risk. If you’re experiencing trouble with it, please leave a comment below and I’ll see what I can do to help you. This template isn’t mine, I hacked it merely for my own use. I left some links in the footer.tpl file to credit my efforts. I hope you don’t mind.

Download the template here. Demo it here.

Introducing My Davao Jobs

Andrew — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 14:10:45 +0000

My Davao Jobs is a new site that allows employers and jobseekers in Davao City to connect. For employers, posting jobs is easy and free. All they need to do is use the submit form, fill in the job details and send. I noticed some nice activity slowly trickling in, which is a sign that people are finding it useful. For jobseekers, submitting an application could be done directly on the job page. My Davao Jobs, unlike any other site catering to the same locale, allows jobseekers to attach their resumes. If you’re an employer or jobseeker in Davao City, check out My Davao Jobs!

Here’s to a Prosperous New Year!

To all my readers who’ve stuck with me all these years.. And the new ones who accidentally drop by..

Happy New Year to you and your family!

Let’s all look forward to the new year with hope, ambition and more blog posts!!

I’m No Longer Part of Mindanao Bloggers

Andrew — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:47:52 +0000

Due to uncontrollable circumstances, I would like to announce that I’m no longer part of the core group of Mindanao Bloggers. That does not however take away the fact that I am a blogger from Mindanao. I will continue the ideals and crusade that we stood for, perhaps in another time, shape or form. Who knows?

Bloggers Christmas Party in Davao City

Andrew — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:44:27 +0000

I’d like to extend an invitation to all bloggers to attend the Bloggers Christmas Party here in Davao City on December 4, 2009. We are also turning it into a party to celebrate Firefox’s 5th anniversary. Expect tons of sumptuous food, drinks, revelry, kris kringle, cool schwag and … wait for it … karaoke! There’s one catch though. There’s a measly P200 fee to cover the expenses. It’ll be worth it, I promise.

In light of that, things are definitely shaking up in the Mindanao blogosphere. Conflicts high in the mountains and unsurprisingly they abound in the online atmosphere as well. To tackle that problem we decided on forming a local bloggers group for Davao City and an altogether new one with a larger scope (hint, hint). If you wanna find out more, do join this event. Everyone’s voice will have a chance to be heard and we are keen on gathering as much ideas possible to make this work.

Last but not the least, we are going to introduce a newly revved-up Avatar Media — our company, plans, goals and mission. This group has been formed long ago but never quite took off. With a smashing new logo and website, we are ready to take on the challenges of new media in the city and Mindanao.

To join this event, head over to the official sign-up sheet found at Avatar Media’s official website.
