Step aside RED, PINK is the new color of love. And Google says so, too. :)

Valentines Day was celebrated here in the Philippines yesterday, but today, as the US celebrates Vday, Google decides to have the Google Docs interface in pink. Yayness. I love it! I hope Google keeps it an option, you know, for us pink-lovers who want to keep our Google Docs accounts in pink all year round.

Also, for this day of luuuurve, the Google doodle is quite different from the past three years’ V-day doodles. IMHO, this year’s the best one they’ve come up with so far, as far as V-day doodles are concerned. It has in its own way, an “aww”-ing effect that will make you stop for a second to think about love and life — and well, that’s what Valentines days are about anyway, right? (Okay I stop the mush nao.)

You see how gracefully Google does these little modifications for special occasions? When they do something, the rest of the world responds. :P

Hats tip to Aileen. :)

..because I wanted to get rid of the .info already. I mean, yeah, everyone knows that a .info domain is cheaper than a .com or a .net, but more than that, .info just doesn’t have as much viewer “recall”, IMO.

So I was thinking I’d 301 the whole site, as I don’t want to lose the priceless link network I’ve built up the whole year. Then again, I don’t know how. Stupid riiight? I mean, I call myself an SEO and I don’t know how to 301 a site. Haha, my boss better not find this one out. LOL. Don’t get me wrong, I do know about tweaking .htaccess files to perform 301-redirect — we’ve done this several times with our e-commerce sites. What I’m not sure of is how to 301 a wordpress blog.

This is not the first time that I considered 301-ing this site. Before, I was able to successfully 301 this blog from it’s original pinkseo.info/ituloy-ansulong URL, but I needed Benj’s help with that. Gah. I’m still too tamad to think about the pros and cons, and the work I have to put up with, so for now, I’ll probably just do a URL-redirect. Haha. Unless Benj comes to my rescue again or somethin’.

But yeah, I just had to say.. Pinkseo.net is officially mine. I wanted to buy the .com, but it’s already taken. Boo.

Posting this one just in case you’re having the same problem too.

I have not been able to use my webcam with YM ever since I got my MacBook. I’ve asked my supplier about it once or twice but never really found a solution to my webcam problem. Which sucks, especially since having a long-distance relationship REQUIRES a webcam. LOL. I mean, you can just imagine the tantrums my boyfriend throws my way everytime my webcam shuts down on him every after 15 seconds. Boo.

I thought it was my Mac’s iSight that has problems, and I was all set to take my laptop to an Apple center to have it checked. Turns out, it’s not the iSight that has problems, it’s the Yahoo Messenger.

So yup, if that’s your problem too — YM webcam shutting off every after 15 seconds and you have to re-invite the person you’re chatting with to view your webcam every 15-friggin-seconds — don’t fret, you’re not the only one.

Interestingly, I found out a way around this little problem of mine through a thread at PhilMug (a local Mac users group here in the Philippines). The thread presented several alternatives, and all of them includes ditching your YM altogether, that is, if there’s a need to use your webcam regularly.

• Use AIM in iChat
• Use Skype
• Use aMSN

I tried all three and settled with aMsn.

Works great for me. :)

And teh boyfriend? He’s smiling from ear to ear. Boo.
