For many years, the XDA-Developers community had been committed to helping Windows Mobile users make the most out of their unit, by providing lots of free software, giving tips and tricks to enhance the functionality of the phones and letting users have a peek at upcoming developments for Windows Mobile. But by far the best thing you can get there are the custom ROMs that can be installed in any WM unit. If you think that sounds rather unappealing, imagine what it can do to a WM handset: OS upgrades.

RIP, Cory Aquino
I was just a kid when the first EDSA Revolution broke. I’ve seen the whole thing on my grandma’s black-and-white cabinet-TV (back then, the TV was not yet a common household appliance and was regarded as a status symbol). I had not fully understood the impact of the event at the time.
However, out of my fascination of the alphabet at the time, I did learn the significance of the L and V finger signs. I was so fascinated with them that, usually during playtime, we used them as call signs for teams or opponents. I always go to the “L” side, and the so-called dumb ones who are generally unaware of the symbolism of these signs would usually go to the “V” side. Fast forward to the present, I was confused when the “L” had suddenly shifted in definition to mean “Loser,” directly in contrast to the its original meaning, which is “Laban” (Filipino term for Fight). Or was it “Liberty”?
As the years passed, I began to realize the important role of EDSA Revolution in history. Toppling the 20+ years of Marcos dictatorship seemed like a Herculean task. And the Aquinos had managed to do it by tapping the power of democracy, by uniting the Filipino people from all sectors of the society. Not quite an ordinary feat. And it had produced one of the most unique uprising in history, characterized by its absolute lack of violence.
Cory’s death last August 1 was, no doubt, a huge loss for our country. She was a true Filipino hero, existing in a time when there aren’t any and Filipinos are in dire need of one.
In pace requiescat.
How to Post to the Latest G-Blogs Using Windows Live Writer
Ever since G-Blogs got integrated into Globe Circles, I was unable to make any blog post from WLW anymore. Moreover, if you haven’t used Windows Live Writer and you would like to set it up to publish contents into your own blog, the old method doesn’t work anymore. To solve this problem, you need to set up your blog all over again.
