Posting from PHPUGPH.com (PHP Users Group Philippines) meet up at Mobius Games, Market! Market!

My geek self is rising! :)

Seriously, programmers are interesting individuals if you haven’t noticed yet. Most of them are highly analytical. Give them a problem, they are almost always willing to help solve it. Most are soft spoken, reserved and not highly opinionated. 

I need these types of events. Makes me see the world where I grew up professionally. Whoa!

Yes, you’re still visiting Better than Life! Just had a quick change of design. This is the good thing about the new WordPress 1.5, it’s really easy to change layouts. Special thanks to the author of this design.

154 GMail invites up for grabs!

Posted: February 23rd, 2005 | Author: arnoldgamboa | Filed under: Webby | View Comments

I just realized that I have about 154 Gmail invites to give away. I have 4 Gmail accounts — my personal account, my wife’s account, my 11-month old baby’s account and my company account (much like my dump site for email correspondense with attachments). Gmail is going crazy giving out invitations. My main account alone has 50 invites to give away. I am sensing that Gmail’s beta period will never end — they will simply give out invites up to their network’s capacity. That way, they control the number of Gmail users. Well, my assumption…

I’m going to give away all 154. First 154 comments gets the invite. Please, no double posts. Enjoy!
