Excellent Hosting: Learning how to wade through AdSpeak(tm)
Filed under: Blah
Chances are, one time or another you’ve had the fortunate experience of trolling through the incredible number of hosting providers all over the internet, all of them vying for your attention with a plethora of AdSpeak targetted not at your particular level of technical understanding, but more towards your lack of it. During those pleasant times, you’ve probably also noticed that, despite their immense variety, a thought keeps nagging at the back of your mind: “Why do they all sound the same when trying to court customers?” I’d like to help people break through the mystery, graphically.

He’s one of those ‘open source’ people.” and then conclude that I use an operating system whose mascot is a “cute” fat penguin (wtf?).

Quirky… flippant… oh-so-cute… Aia-ishly wasting.
Irritatingly perky, flamboyantly annoying, colloquialism wed to raw wit.
Bahala ka. May utak ka. Gamitin mo kahit minsan.
Fuck. I’m not a “Music Critic(tm)” and never will be. S’lamat naman.
Imago’s “Taralets.”
Have fun.
