Dasol Sea Salt is a great product that brings to the world a taste of salt from the South Seas, ripened in our tropical islands. Dasol Sea Salt is desirable in grilled and roasted items as Dasol Sea Salt crystals cover more surface area, preventing the meat’s natural juices from oozing out while cooking. It also makes a nice crust for steaks and seafood when combined with herbs and spices. It adds crunch to salads and vegetables and lifts flavor of steamed and poached items. Visit the official website of this great product at http://www.dasolseasalt.com.

The website was developed by PS Ventures Philippines and hosted by Bitstop Inc. The site is powered by ASP.NET running over Windows Server 2003 web server. PS Ventures Philippines also maintains http://www.dagupena.com, a sister company of Dasol Sea Salt. Dagupena offers the world famous “bangus” products from Dagupan City, the Bangus Capital of the World.

I used a wordpress blogsite for one my subdomains. For five months, it worked out well. The blogsite was loaded with a lot of posts and articles, most of which were my lectures in my night class. I also placed some adsense unit and it did make some little earnings then.

One day, the site suddenly became too slow to load. I have found out that it was the MySQL database service which was getting unavailable that time. When the database service was restored, the blogsite loaded well for some times but also became very slow most of the time. It continued to be this way for around 3 days and then it totally became a blank page whenever the browser is done loading it. I was thinking then that the database service is the cause of the problem because I am sure that I have not performed any configuration or installation of plugins in the blogsite.

I reached the point where I actually removed my blogsite and reinstall another wordpress blogsite (both the current version I am using then and also with the latest stable release). I have also removed and created database because of this. But to no success, the problem is still the same. I have wasted a lot of time and opportunity because of what happened.

This wordpress tragedy made me end up with this new blogsite http://www.blogsite.psvphil.com, something which was made from a css template and slowly I am converting it into a full-pledged blogsite with Access database as its backend. As I enjoy creating websites with css templates and asp.net master pages, I also changed psvphil.com into something new. http://www.psvphil.com

Out of the problem I encountered, came something new worth working with as a web developer.

There are a lot of free CSS templates nowadays. CSS makes website development fast and also stylish without too much use of graphics. The DIV tag approach as a replacement to the traditional TABLE tag layout makes it also more flexible and fluid in behavior. In ASP.NET, combining CSS templates with master pages turns out to be a very easy and comfortable approach that can enable a web developer produce multiple pages of a website. I actually tried to create one using these, and in just a few minutes I was able to create a business website with six pages. Here is the link http://www.developer.psvphil.com.

Mankind has always been aware of the importance of history. Looking back at how something came into being is a natural interest for each and everyone of us. It
is not just mere interest on the stories of the past but we are often touched by the lessons it bring and how these lessons guide us in facing the present and the future.

The past brings not only good things but sad things as well. It is up to us to learn forgetting the mistakes of the past and remembering the good things done. The good deeds a person made in the past is what makes his life seems forever living in the hearts of those whom
he touched during his physical existence. (more…)

The year was 1994, I was then a fresh high school graduate and in that particular day, I was enrolling at the Virgen Milagrosa University Foundation as a freshman college student. I was actually undecided that time on what course am I going to take. While roaming around, I saw an advertisement written on a board infront of the BSBA building. It was about a newly offered course Associate in Computer Science, a ladderized course leading to the degree Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. With my fascination to computers eversince my childhood, my interest was easily aroused and I immediately enrolled as one of the pioneer students of the College of Computer Science’ newly offered degree course.
