I admit that with all of constant bombardment of Nihongo in the office, English with some of my colleagues and Filipino with some of my chatmates, I miss listening with Bisaya news. I am proud that I am a Bisaya and a proud Mindanaoan from Davao City.I could remember when I was still in Davao City, I would always watch local news for me to keep updated with local news. And now that I am in foreign land, I crave for more information on what is happening in my hometown. I am glad that ABS-CBN Interactive gives the stream to everyone for free. It is a way to remind me of my true roots as a Dabawenyo.For those who are not in Davao City who want to view ABS-CBN news in Davao City, click here to view.For those who want to read some of the local newspapers, you can visit the following websites.1.

| The Davao Blogspace is temporarily down | | 2007-07-10 10:46:41 | | I’m really sorry about this, but I did a monumental clusterf–k when I was upgrading DavaoBlogs.com. As a result, the aggregator site’s down and inaccessible for a few more days. There’s more. The Davao Blogs Directory (http://dir.davaoblogs.com) is also down, because it lives in the same server.
What happened was, I upgraded the WordPress installation from v2.0.8 to v2.1.3, without deactivating the plugins. Next thing I knew, the PHP scripts were wreaking havoc all over the place. Good thing that I was able to keep a very recent backup of the site! And then I read somewhere that WP 2.1.3 isn’t a very stable release…. That’s what I get for not reading reviews first. (I can almost hear my friends chanting, “RTFM! RTFM!”)
So, please bear with me for a few more days. The Davao Blogspace will be up and running again soon enough, on a faster and more powerful server!
