A BIG BIG THANK YOU to all you beautiful people, and a special thank you to Heiko (Hope you are having a swell time there in Wohan) for arranging a collection toward our charity work at his Good By party. About 17,000 Pesos were collected, and we promise you all that we will put them to the best use possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts...

The 'Mighty Reds'

So Liverpool outclassed and outplayed (maybe a little bias) Milan to take the Trophy for the 5th time and thus retain the sliverware at there home in England.
At half time I was very close to going back to bed but decided I would give it 10 more minutes before 'hitting the sack'. My gosh, imagine how I would of felt this morning turning the news on and hearing that Liverpool were the new champions!!!! What a great comeback and a fitting result for a 'never die' attitude from the boys in red. Let the rest of the World look on in wonder and amazement......

no futsal today.....

futsal today is canceled...only 3 players

hi lezy guys! Just made a half marathon . . . its more about the will then about training - -  

Soccer planning tool

It is my intention to soon help develop a simple soccer planning tool (see below for set-up of algorithm). This will then be linked to the weblog. In non-technical terms, everybody should fill in his intentions for the coming Saterday and / or Wednesday soccer events (at any time) and will know instantly who and how many will show up. In case of too few player a web post or E-mail may automatically be created asking others to join. The program will also announce through the weblog or E-mail the cancelation of the event in case too few players are listed shortly before the event. This tool can also be used to show possible last-minute changes in location.

But once again, it all starts with having everybody being a weblog member. So, please try to convince the non-members to join asap.

Now Otto is already an active and enthusiastic weblogger I hope he will become a bit more supportive. With some little money I can outsource this algorithm to a local IT person (this would speed it up considerably).

Please let me know your thoughts about this approach.

Furthermore I will prepare standard picture galleries to be linked to the weblog. This may also be the way to show video's.

Regards,

Albert

Automatic soccer planning algorithm (for the week ahead)
1. Open database and check your name
2. Read and confirm computer date and read names of active Saturday and
Wednesday players
3. Ask question ‘Do you play next Saturday?’
4. Mark field and save / close
5. Reply ‘there are __ many players' / show list of players
6. If # of players less than e.g. 6 create weblog post / E-mail to mobilize more players
7. Ask question ‘Do you play next Wednesday?’
8. Mark field and save / close
9. Reply ‘There are __ many players.’ / show list of players
10. If # of players less than e.g. 8 create weblog post to mobilize more players
11. If remaining time is less than e.g. 4 hrs and players are less than needed 6
or 8 send E-mail to active players and weblog canceling the match.

GUYS PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHO IS COMING TOMORROW

saturday soccer

please be reminded that tomorrow 4 pm we have our regular practice in CIS. no text messages will be send anymore. we just hope that it will work this way, too.

by the way brian bedford of cis thanked us and said that the gift we gave last week was actually not necessary but well appreciated.

sad to say that skycable was not able to connect our xp lounge within the last 4 weeks. therefore we cannot show the upcoming FA-cup final ManU vs. Arsenal tomorrow night. unfortunately, 'sandtrap' obviously has a problem with their projector and can't use the wide screen anymore. does anyone have an idea where to go and watch as a group? what about paulaner?

Shangri-la futsal

Hello guys,

As Heiko's successor I am supposed to arrange for the Wednesday evening soccer at Shangri-la. Although the number of people joining this event decreases in time, there is still a critical group that prefers to play. However, when the number drops below 8 we will have to cancel.

After discussion with Horst and Daniele we agreed on the following:
1. For as long as he will be assigned to Shangri-la Mactan Daniele will take care of the required financial compensation of the tennis court. Even in his absence this should not be a problem. Daniele will make the necessary arrangements.
2. Daniele needs a final list of players shortly before the event (guard procedures are more strict nowadays). This means that everybody who wants to play needs to confirm. So no surprise show-ups anymore.
3. As I will be out for my summer vacation starting early next week, Horst will send out the text messages during my absence (6 weeks) and will put the final list on the weblog or send an E-mail to the guard / Daniele.
4. We will observe the attendance the coming period and may consider a summer reces or decrease of frequency of events (e.g. on a monthly basis). If so the decision will be made during a regular team meeting.
5. As the players involved are not on the web log yet, please let them know of these new rules (and convince them to become a member of the weblog).

Web log

1. I'll try to prepare a standard photo gallery, so we can simply link some photo collections to the web log. Regarding video, I leave it up to Conor to produce some simple mp3 or avi files to be linked.
2. I also try to fix our logo to the site. The one I got from Conor is a scanned image. Does the original still exist somewhere?
3. Please have your name listed as a XPCebu web logger, by following the instructions in the E-mail that we have sent to all of you (From:Blogger Invites, Re: Blogger blog invitation from). In case you need any help, just let me know. Horst, maybe you can send this request as a text message to all players (including my E-mail address), so we can have it organized before I leave for my much needed vacation (25th of May)? I can also attach a picture to the name (just send me a jpg or gif file).
4. If somebody has suggestions for other links to our site just let me know (soccer teams like SC Heerenveen for instance, Cebu soccer sites, ...). Please keep the site for soccer and XP related info and discussions only. For non-typical XP dive announcements, or whatsoever, you can simply set-up another blog.

xp lounge

sorry guys,

but until now sky cable was not able to connect the tv screen in our xp lounge. unfortunately we still cannot watch the champions league yet. sky cable is still waiting for a connector device which is ordered from their manila office. so, the official opening of the xp lounge must be postponed again until at least next week. for this purpose i still need the two thirsty cups and the two winner's photos from whoever is in the possession of them now to add it to our 'xp shrine'.

as you know, the lounge is open already and thursday and friday night we have our first event, 2 lingerie shows, at 11.30pm, which are organized by an event organizer. then saturday, of course, heiko's big farewell party after the lear- game in the afternoon.

please come, visit us one of these days, have a good look and give us your feed back and suggestions .
