Still feeling so lazy! Anyway, things were definitely much better later today, having received a response from CAP (Concerned Artists of the Philippines) which Jun Verzola kindly suggested I contact (and I feel like kicking myself for forgetting CAP of all organizations!) The goodness of this is the feeling that there are people out there working constructively towards making life better for those around them. On the Plaridel list, I was really amazed (and inspired) by Jun’s optimistic view despite the numerous instances wherein he saw how difficult it was for most people to understand things outside of their practical uses.

Atty. Bong Dizon, Atty. Jimmy Soriano’s and CC-PH’s support for a KURO satellite on IPRs and creative practices also gave that much needed high for the day. And I even got a reply back from Kapatid na Michael of Ang Tamang Daan! :) So funny! :)

Yes, but I still think (at least for me) that things could have been more beautiful, simply because I suppose if things in Sierre had started properly then I could’ve been much happier during the first month of my stay. But I have no regrets, as my happiness has simply been delayed.

    Hi Fats. I was google-searching for CAP+Verzola (meron kasi akong malaking kasalanan sa kanila for a paper I failed to submit, later ko na lang ikwento), when I stumbled onto your blog entry. Thanks for the kind words! Right now I’m testing Joomla (the successor to Mambo) for our website. It looks good — another plus factor for GNU-based content mgt systems.

    Jun, I tried Joomla but decided on PHP-Nuke (http://www.korakora.org) and Drupal (http://proyekto.korakora.org). Jun Macarambon’s new site uses Joomla, here http://www.morofocus.com/ - And yes, CMSs have really advanced greatly with the spirit of F/OSS!
