Pinoy Tech Scene OPML

with 2 comments

Update: Ka Edong gave me a heads-up on Nox’s mirror of Pinoy Tech Scene. Cool!

Update: Ka Edong, who has been missing Pinoy Tech Scene, wants to know how OPML works. I don’t know myself, but it’s a convenient way of getting all those blogs in one place. Thanks to Migs, I’ve come upon OPtiMaL, a web-based OPML browser — just feed it the URL to the OPML file, and voila! you’ve got your own aggregator.

The Pinoy Tech Scene aggregator is currently down — a blank page shows up on http://techscene.free.net.ph. For those who want the OPML, you can get it from Jan Alonzo, here. Or grab it here.

I’ve also posted the OPML for Ubuntu-PH Planet.

ICT caravan updates

without comments

We finally have a schedule for the ICT Caravan. The Caravan will kick off on March 26 in Northern and Central Luzon, and will run until May 12 where the final leg in Bicol.

I’ve plotted the stop-overs in Google Maps. It’s still very rough, as I still have to plug in more info as they come through. I’m thinking of harvesting them from status updates that have been placed in a wiki, though I still don’t know how to do that.
