PHP Roadshow on the Go!
February 1, 2009 · Comments
PHP Roadshow is an outreach to college students with the goal of reaching the same level of programming competency of our counterparts (Filipino and non-Filipino) outside of the country (including standardizations and value of work).
This is an initiated project of PHP User Group Philippines, Inc. (PHPUGPH), in support of the organization’s mission of advocating and disseminating the use of PHP (Hypertext Pre-processor) as well as Open Source technologies in schools and companies in the Philippines.
Competitive volunteer speakers from PHPUGPH discuss FOSS topics including PHP and MySQL, Content Management Systems (CMS) like Joomla! and Drupal, database designing, programming best practices and other related topics for the PHP Roadshow.
Below are some of the schools already visited by the PHP Roadshow:
- AMA Computer College – Makati – 21 June 2008
- University of Santo Tomas (UST) - 30 August 2008
- Manila Central University (MCU) – 6 September 2008
- Cavite State University (CvSU) – Naic – 20 September 2008
- Centro Escolar University (CEU) Manila – 24 January 2009
- University of the Philippines (UP) – Diliman – 31 January 2009
So, what are you waiting for? Contact us now to have the PHP Roadshow to your schools! ^_~

September 5, 2008 · Comments
What’s up, mga nerds?
Hehehe…
Got your attention there, didn’t I?
ANYWAY, let me just run something quick to you guys, our avid readers here in TechBlog.ph. See, Dekaron SEA, (aka Dekaron Philippines, Dekaron Singapore, Dekaron Malaysia) is NOW on Open Beta.
Those of you who missed out on all the fun when Dekaron SEA was on Closed Beta, here’s your chance to experience and explore what has been hailed all over the world as “the most violent gaming experience you can have online.”
It’s so awesome, it’s the ONLY game that has to have a ratings advisory in its log-in page. A “For 17 Years Old and Above Only. Minors Cannot Play This Game.” warning appears briefly after you log-in. Hmmm…
"Wait, did you just say 'Without Herpes, we would all be dead by now'?" (Click Image For Larger View)
Ok, so, Dekaron SEA is FREE for the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia. You need a mobiusgames account to play. However, if you’re in doubt as to whether or not you can play Dekaron SEA if you’re not playing within the mobiusgames territory of the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, refer to this short FAQ.
Also, mobiusgames has a lot of events and promos to keep everyone busy. There’s a 2x Drop and EXP rates in effect until the OBT ends in September 23.
I'm Your Momma
Perhaps, Dekaron SEA owes some of its buzz to, eherm, eherm, gaming blogs like Hackenslash, Techblog.ph, MikeGotGame.com, Jam Online, MMOTaku, and GameShogun. Dekaron SEA is definitely this gaming season’s dark horse. With not much hype, it has steadily steamrolled into one of the most buzzed about game in recent years.
Read MikeGotGame.com’s series of “hands-on previews”, beginning with his article on Dekaron’s eyecandy for an interesting read.
Hmmm… how about you, guys? Have you tried Dekaron SEA? Got an opinion?

August 19, 2008 · Comments
Dekaron SEA is now on its second week of closed beta testing. For all of you n00bz out there who ain’t got the 733t haxxor skillz I do (for shiznits!), when a game goes into ‘closed beta testing’, it means the game goes live for a limited number of people in order for the publisher or developer to gather data prior to releasing the game publicly. It’s like your momma giving your friends free cookies before she starts her own catering shop. Or your sister sleeping with your friends before she turns into a bonafide hoe. Amazing what metaphors can do in this day and age.
Anyway, while you were busy getting your rocks off to your favorite yaoi, Dekaron SEA has been in closed beta for a week now. And you didn’t know, did ya?
Dekaron SEA started accepting registrations for closed beta testers as early as July 23 (last month), and gave out the activation codes Monday of last week, August 11. The CBT client has been available for download the day before the actual CBT began, but no one was able to log in until the virtual gates were open, and when they did, boy, it was a cyberstampede!

August 14, 2008 · Comments
Just this morning, I got an announcement email from Biz Stone, the Co-founder of Twitter, saying that there’ll be changes on the SMS updates service on Twitter.
So what’s the good news and bad news? The message started with the bad one: Twitter will no longer deliver outbound SMS over its UK number! Yes, it’s the very feature why some organizations applied Twitter for their system of communication by just letting their members subscribe to their main account and the Twitter SMS updates shall be delivered to their members for free.
There was actually a bit of good news that followed it – Twitter shall be starting some local SMS numbers in countries throughout Europe. Well, I guess the good news was not enough to cover for the terrible bad news. Whilst it’s true that this change of service was not really unexpected (because there’s no free lunch all the time), I just hope there’ll be a Twitter SMS gateway specifically made for the Philippines or perhaps phTwitters can do something on their service to make that feature available again.

August 8, 2008 · Comments
Yahoo! Philippines is inviting Philippine-based web developers to a Networking Event where you can meet fellow developers. The company will also share details about future web developer activities in the country and the Yahoo! Developer Network, which offers Web Services and APIs that make it easy for developers to build applications and mashups that integrate data sources in new ways, making the web a more useful and fun place for everyone.
Yahoo! Philippines first held a developer meeting in October 2007 in conjunction with the University of Philippines-Yahoo! Hack Day. At the event, UP students demonstrated how simple it was to use Yahoo!’s open APIs to create web utilities that are relevant to their internet experience.
The event details are:
Venue: TGI Fridays (3F Glorietta 3, Ayala Center, Makati City)
Date: 14 August 2008
Time: 6-9 pm
Expect food, drinks and a steady flow of Yahoo! goodies. The raffle of an ipod and other Yahoo! schwags will be announced at 8.45pm.
The event is free, but please RSVP your attendance to sea-ydn@yahoo-inc.com with your details and subject header “YDN PH Event”. Closing date for RSVPs is 12 August 2008.
Disclaimer: I work for Yahoo! Southeast Asia, and I’m posting the invite on behalf of Yahoo!, but I wholeheartedly invite you to come join us on Thursday night! It will be a great time to meet others and talk shop. :) ‘Hope to see you there!
