The Bangus Ultimatum

Okay. So during the last semester my blockmates and I had sort of an inside joke. It started out with a question on a yahoogroup (relating to, um…self-help), which people answered in a legally-sounding fashion. Then that was followed with a couple of relationship-related call-for-helps in the logbook that we answered as if they were requests for legal advice. From all that emerged Ask Scaebolah!, a column in the Law Student Government Bulletin that promises to give Legal Solutions to Life’s Real Problems.

I’m proud of how it turned out. The response was way beyond my anticipation. Right now I’m way behind answering questions and requests for advice. I’m also conveniently cut off from the Law Library and its collection of legal curiosities (including a collection from Mucius Quintus Scaevola himself/themselves). So maybe all I could do during the sembreak is to respond with mini-replies to the easier questions. Watch out for them soon.

Other than watching movies I missed last semester, playing games until my eyes drop out (not really, as no game as of late’s managed to break through my been-there-done-that-ness), and sleeping in the afternoon (just because I can), the agenda for the semestral break:

* Do some planning/conspiring over Creative Commons Philippines
* Regular Blogging for iBlog II
* Open Source/Open Standards Thingie (best I don’t reveal anything too much about it yet)
* Write a couple of Ask Scaebolah columns
* Prepare for my classes in MassComm (I’m teaching next semester! I pity the fools who’ll be under my tutelage)
