A Change You Can't Believe
Question : How many webmasters does it take to update this website?
Answer : Obviously only one. That's the guy who is running this website. The Programmer, Entrepreneur and Street Philosopher who hails from Davao, Philippines.
And you can also add one more description: That lazy Filipino Webmaster who can't find the time to even update his own website.
Say "Hello" To Carlos
Welcome to another personal website in the world. My name is Carlos Velasco and I am the main man here.
This is the latest change I made on my website. There's really not much change if you have been here for a while. The most obvious change is the Top Menu. I intentionally bring down the number of Tabs there from the original six down to only four. Essentially, I removed the following:
- The About Page -- I feel that's useless because The Home Page can serve that purpose.
- The Services Page -- I'm sorry, but I decided to retire as a Web Developer making projects for clients. That page therefore is of no use for me now so discarded it.
The good news is, the Contact Page is still there and you can still shoot me an email anytime. Please be patient with this old man and allow him some time to respond to your requests and inquiries.
Looking for content?
The bulk of this website is contained in the Articles Section. You can think of it as a blog -- and it is.
But, it is not just a blog about other people's blogs. Or paid rants about some random technical articles written somewhere in the Blogoshere. Far from it.
It is a collection of actual experiences and as you can read from the tagline about: "Tech Tips, Business Insights from a retired Webmaster."
I think that's quite easy to understand. But there is more to that. I found out that a lot of business people using the Internet are using it the wrong way. Instead of money flowing to their direction, their technological direction is causing them their negative cashflow.
Cashflow Quadrant
I'm not here to write about the CashFlow Quadrant and invite you to play the CashFlow Game. I'll live that up to Robert Kiyosaki and his cohorts, which by the way I highly recommend if you have nothing serious to do.
From now on, the contents of this website will be aligned along this very simple theme: Going tech without going broke.
The original Carlos On Web articles will still be there and in some occasions, I might diverge into those topics.
So thank you very much for taking the time to read this far. In a few days, the Articles section will be re-classified and a new article will be posted.
Meanwhile, please enjoy what I have 'round here:
- Business Websites -- Some tips and guide for owners of small business websites or those who want to build one.
- Freelance Programming -- This section is intended for Freelance Programmers in the Philippines just like me. I will be sharing my experiences as a freelance programmer, webmaster and blogger. IT Jobs in Davao -- IT Job Opening, Freelance and Consulting Jobs, Software and Hardware opportunities within Davao City.
- Personal -- Non-technical stuff are posted here. You can think of this section as the Miscellaneous Items.
- PHP Tips -- Shared PHP Tips and work-arounds from actual programming experience.
- Web Programming -- You will be reading stuff like PHP, MySQL, AJAX and other topics related to Web Design and Development. Tips, work-arounds and some short tutorials will also be provided.
This list could go on as the site grows and more and more ideas sprout out of my head.
Thanks for dropping by. If you want to send me a message, please use the contact form.
