Fly Peso Fly

by Rob on May 12, 2010

Someone was recently complaining about how much their currency (the Pound) had depreciated against the Philippine peso. I created this handy dandy graph to see how the major currencies had fared against the peso in the last year. Of course due to local prejudices I added the Canadian Dollar as well. Interesting Stuff.

For some reason it isn’t keeping the timeframe, but if click on Zoom: 10Y at the top left, you will see that the Pound has lost almost 32% against the Peso in 10 years. Ouch.

It has fared about as well against the Thai Baht. Sux 2 Be U

Affiliate Evolution – An oldie but goodie.

April 26, 2010

I haven’t said much about my online efforts lately. No, they haven’t completely faded away, but they have definitely been going through a reorganization. Gone are the hundreds of sites which barely make their reg fee every year, and I have been “focusing” on getting the backend process for my offline business, Intellefits, off the [...]

Back to the Philippines

December 21, 2009

Lucky me, I will be travelling to the Philippines again over New Years. There’s plenty to look forward to – I’ll be investigating a(nother) business opportunity, but to be honest, the main reason I’m going is to be with my new wife, Rose. For those who missed the news, we were married on 9/9/2009. The [...]

Pigs get Slaughtered

December 21, 2009

Sorry Cogeco, your attempts to get me to buy cable twice for my house have failed. I was going to have to move to Bell TV eventually (gotta get GMA when Rose gets here), but you forced my hand. Instead of have one cable subscription, you now have zero from my home. Stop being greedy!
