A Post-Oscar Burger and Fries

March 4, 2005

I got the following message and pictures in the mail today (Urban Legend with Pics?):
OK…..so I was hungry after working an Oscar night; and stopped at

Astro Burger in West Hollywood (for a Garden Burger, of course).

After I order….a commotion outside…..door opens……SHE arrives…….the Oscar, the dress, hubby with video camera and a small entourage in tow…..

I said to Chad (we’re on a first name basis now), “Didn’t they feed you at the Governor’s Ball?” He laughed….sort of.

Good thing I had the camera, ‘cuz no one would have believed it.
Ahhhhh Hollywood.

The disappearing CICT story on INQ7.Net

In an earlier post, I made reference to an INQ7.Net story entitled “CICT chief wonders why Disini is after him” which was posted on March 2, 2005 under the following URL: http://beta.inq7.net/infotech/index.php?index=1&story_id=29216.
If you follow the link now, it leads to a story about PLDT and VOIP.

What happened to the original story? Jangelo posted the following comment:

Sir,

Article is indeed “offline” acording to inq7.net. But a google cache is available, with the corresponding reference and retrieval dates (i.e., which implies that inq7.net did indeed publish the material).

http://216.239.63.104/search?q=cache:t3022mqavvgJ:news.inq7.net/mobile/html_output/20050302-29217.xml.html&hl=en&lr=&strip=0…

Curious. A glitch? Or intentional?

Regards. =)

Angelo

I want to know, too.

Bombim’s $15 Promise

In PinoyBlog.Com, PHNET’s Bombim Cadiz had this to say to a challenged made to the AdBoard and CICT to prove that the PH Domain Guidelines will reduce the price of domain name registrations:
Should the PHccTLD be redelegated to PHNET, PHNET will offer a PHccTLD registration at USD15/year and not force anyone to register for 2 years if it becomes the PHccTLD Registry.
Looks good, Bombim.  I can’t help but wonder how PHNET plans to keep that promise.  After all, there are expenses to be recouped. (more…)

Wonder No More

On Wednesday, INQ7.net carried a story headlined “CICT chief wonders why Disini is after him” which strangely enough, I can’t find on INQ7.net today. I pasted a copy below for reference. Essentially, Mr. Pena is reacting to the 2 open letters (letter 1 and letter 2) which came out in the Philippine Star and this is what he had to say:
Asked to comment on the open letters, Peña declined to comment, except
to say, “the whole issue is in the hands of the technical working
group [created by the CICT]. But I just wonder why is the [open
letter] being pointed at me?” I’m amazed at Mr. Pena’s comment. Just because he’s handed over the redelegation process to a Technical Working Group (which he created), then dotPH shouldn’t address the issue to him anymore. “You’re barking up the wrong tree.” (more…)
