I recently bought an ASUS RX3041 Broadband Router. I was supposed to get a Linksys WRT54G WiFi G Router but I was not able to find it over here.

These other Wi-Fi routers cost around Php 4,000 to Php 5,000. The store I was buying from had a “same item only” return policy. I didn’t want to risk spending so much money on hardware that would not work so I settled on a regular router.

I’m going to take a break from my CakePHP modifications project. I am currently working on a project using the Python-powered framework, [Django][django].

Though it’s not even in “1.0″ yet, the features it currently sports are very impressive and, dare I say, inspiring! However, PHP has been my bread and butter for close to 3 years now. Though I have so many gripes with PHP as a language, I still find it useful and it still gets the job done.

CakePHP modifications will continue once I finish my current project and once CakePHP 1.2.x.x gets sorted out.
