This would assume that your domain and account is already configured (ie your domain is already pointing to your webhosting account). Upon purchasing a plan from GREATWEBHOST.COM.PH (or any other webhost that uses CPANEL for that matter) you will be given a CPANEL username and password pair for your access to the webhosting administration page ie control panel. In your web browser, access your cpanel by opening this link
http://yourdomain/cpanel
Change yourdomain to the domain that you own ie I access http://greatwebhost.com.ph/cpanel whenever I need to do something with my webhosting account. After typing in your given account, you will be forwarded with what would be your best friend in your web career 
Some things that you would likely need to do while in there

I hate to be one of the first to break it but an IBlog Mini in November is already in its planning stage. Details are still sketchy but CEL (Consumer Electronics Live) will be a big sponsor. GREATWEBHOST.COM.PH will also be part of it from day one just like the previous IBlog summit and we hope to give away free BLOG plans for a year to attendees of the event (except to the few who have availed of this in the last summit). I would personally attend the event if the work hours and situation in the Philippines would permit it.

I scouted several ads websites to buy an affordable used laptop and got myself an Asus A8j yesterday for just 15000 Php. My only other choice was an even cheaper Neo B2165 N which is usually locally sold preloaded with another version of Linux when brand new- and I figured that I would not have a hard time putting Ubuntu on it. So far, considering the performance for the price I got it, I say this is very much worth it. (Much like the Nokia 5800 I bought recently, that too is a price per performance winner at less than half the price of an Iphone.)
Until you encounter a situation like this where in no matter how many mines you have discovered you will end up depending on your luck (and not skill) to solve the puzzle.
Minesweeper
That image is at least 6 years old dating back to my college days. After that, I think I have stopped playing minesweeper never mind that I was already rarely on a windows desktop back then. Good thing Mandrake linux back in the old days have Powermanga bundled and it was a good outlet when ever you are already stressed out studying.

I have not seen the Manila Ocean Park yet (I will soon), but this one is a great aquarium sight. I just wonder how it would be if I have one like that in my house (dreaming that I have a house big for that).

For anyone wanting a cheap Mac-Netbook, here is a great setup. I recently managed to triple boot my MSI Wind with OSX, XP and Ubuntu (and if the disk space would permit you may be able to accomodate more Operating Systems). Here are the steps on how I got it done. (Be ready for a technical blog post!)

It has long been a talk in the technology community that Google would someday develop its own OS likely based on the Linux Kernel. But for the first time, Google confirmed in a blog posting and even gave us their time line for producing such a product. While I would not be jumping at the conclusion that the OS would be the MS Killer and savior-what-have-you, if there is any entity out there that would have a chance at challenging MS’ monopoly at the desktop, it is no other than Google- the other powerhouse.
Short list of things that I would like to see in the Google Chrome OS
Here’s hoping the best for a really promising product but second half of 2010 is too long to wait. Advances in other Linux Distros may be already so good to even think about switching for me.

So, you want to be a Gmail ninja?
If you got 100 new messages, how long would it take you to get through them all? An hour? Five minutes? How would you find the important ones, reply to the ones that require an immediate reply, and mark the ones that you needed to take care of later? Would you use stars, filters, keyboard shortcuts, labels? What about Gmail Labs like tasks or canned responses?
