The Isulong SEOPH search engine optimization contest is now down to the last three days! Right now we’re at the #5 position at the first Google search engine result page (SERP). We hope to go up (or at least, maintain the position) in the Isulong SEOPH rankings.

If you’re not Pinoy, Isulong SEOPH roughly translates to “Onwards SEO Philippines”.

UP Diliman’s Department of Computer Science celebrates 25 years of excellence in computing diversity in its week-long Silver Flame, to be held from February 27 to March 3. Everyone’s invited to a week filled with symposia, company talks, various competitions, and a culminating night – all of which showcase the intelligence, innovativeness, and flair that UP DCS students have been known for.

The theme Silver Flame honors the silver anniversary of the Department while highlighting the fiery fervor for the Department’s pursuit of excellence; rightfully so, for DCS students are known within the College of Engineering as the DCS Firefoxes.

Incidentally, this is going to be the last time that the UPD DCS shall celebrate its anniversary in Melchor Hall. The department is slated to move to a new, larger building early next year; one can also think of Silver Flame as the Department’s grand farewell to the historic edifice.

Welcome to another weblog of the Corsarius. It seems my web presence is getting fat as time goes by.

Anyway, I still haven’t figured out what goes into this space, so for the meantime I direct you to my other 3 active blogs:

Corsarius’ Slip of the Pen — The original. Home of the personal slash literary works of the Corsarius. You won’t regret your time here. (Bah! Shameless self-promoter!)

Crimson Crux — Houses technology-oriented articles by the Corsarius. Tech-oriented, which means other stuff goes into here as well. Hell, I even discuss Michael Jordan here.

Karimlan — Last but not the least, a blog in my native language, Tagalog. ‘Nuff said.

That’s it for today, ladies and gentlemen. The corsair will return.
