Mandaue Business Month Press Conference
July 17, 2008
I mentioned in an earlier post that I got invited by Mr. Wilson Ng to attend the Mandaue Business Month press conference. The invitation was also open to other 15 bloggers but only a few responded because of some conflicts in schedule. Among those who attended the press conference are Aileen (http://sunchoke.net), Wil (http://misswilhelmina.com), Paul (http://cebudirectories.com), Nick (http://in-indie.org), Arnold (http://cebuheritage.com), and Rio (http://ngkhai.net/blog).
Present during the press conference are the people from the business sector, the media, and Hon. Gwen Garcia, the governor of the province of Cebu. The purpose of that press conference is to formally launch the upcoming 17th Visayas Business Area Business Conference and the Mandaue Business Month.

Barbeque at Larsian’s
May 27, 2008
The first week in Cebu City was very difficult on my part. I’m not used of eating carenderia food. While I was in Davao, I was spoiled with my Lola’s home-cooked meals and food from Davao’s best restaurants. I was not prepared in the sudden change of my lifestyle.
Among those things I miss about Davao are the numerous Inasal restaurants found in the downtown area. Mang Inasal, Penongs, and Banoks among others. Last night, we were able to come across Cebu’s barbeque haven. We didn’t realize that such place lies a few blocks away from our building.

BY SMS-Twitter Comment Notifier
May 11, 2008 | Author: Winston | Filed under: plugins
Visited 469 times, 1 so far today
Overview
Based on the original plugin created by Emmanuel Pays, this wordpress plugin allows users to receive SMS notifications, through twitter, when someone posts a comment on your blog. The comment notification uses Twitter’s direct messaging feature. It also employs a spam filtering feature so blog owners won’t get bugged with spam comments.
Download
Download “BY SMS-Twitter Comment Notifier” Plugin
Installation
Download the plugin file and unzip TwitterSMSNotifier.php to your wp-content/plugins/ directory. After uploading, click on your Plugins page from your blog dashboard and browse for BY SMS-Twitter Comment Notifier. Click on Activate to activate the plugin.
Configuration and Usage
You need at least two twitter accounts for us to use Twitter’s direct messaging feature, one for the notifier and another one for the recipient account. If you don’t have an account yet, you may proceed to the step on creating twitter accounts.
The notifier account will be used in sending DMs (direct messages) to the recipient account.
To configure your plugin, go to Settings > BY SMS-Twitter Comment Notifier from your blog’s Dashboard.
- On the Notifier Twitter Account field, enter your notifier account username/email.
- On the Notifier Twitter Account password field, enter the password of your notifier account.
- On the Recipient Twitter Account field, enter you personal twitter username or the username of your desired recepient.
- Click on the Save button to save the changes made.
- To test if the plugin is working, click on the Test button after completing the steps above.
Setting up Twitter
Twitter allows its users to receive notifications through IM, SMS or through web. For this plugin, we will set-up our recipient twitter account to receive SMS updates.
- Login to Twitter
- Verify your mobile number. Click here to see the process on verifying your mobile number.
- From your twitter homepage, go to Settings > Devices and set Device updates to On or Direct Messages
Issues
I’m not receiving any twitter notifications on my mobile phone. How do I solve this?
There are four possibilities why you are not receiving twitter notification on your mobile phone.
- Recipient account is not following the notifier account (and vice versa). Both accounts (or at least the recipient account is following the notifier account), should be following each other to allow one to communicate with the other.
- Incorrect user information. Review the settings you have entered on the plugin configuration page. Make sure that you have entered the correct twitter account and recipient information.
- You have exceeded the sms allowance. This occurs when you have exceeded the 250 sms/week allowance alloted by twitter for each user. Please see twitter’s FAQs for more details.
- The mobile number was not set-up properly. Please review the steps on how to verify your mobile number.
Please feel free to report bugs and suggestions. Thanks.
