Webhost issues

I have been noticing that my web host is experiencing downtime more than twice or thrice in a month. It started last August. It was worse last month because, if I am not mistaken, there were at least five occurrences of downtime that were all more than 15 minutes each. I talked to a tech [...]

Do you think that you spend too much time on the internet?

I’ll be honest about it and say, yes, I think I spend too much time on the internet. In my defense, most of my work are done online. So I really need to go on the internet and spend much of my time there. But I also know that I can manage my time well [...]

Internet and household pests

I don’t know why I haven’t been using the internet to solve my household problems. I am always online! Rats, bed bugs and ants. These are just some of the problems I have at home. I have been hiring someone to clean the whole house every two weeks but these household pests just won’t go [...]

Any suggestions?

Truth of the matter is, I don’t know what to do with the spam comments anymore! They just keep on coming back! I have Akismet installed. I am using the Blacklist in the Discussion settings of my admin page. I have even put there the IP addresses of spammers that Akismet caught. Still, they keep [...]

Happy 30th Pac-man!

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Pac-man, Google turned their logo into the original Pac-man game! You can play the game just by going to Google.com and clicking on the Insert Coin button. If you haven’t seen it yet, go to Google.com now and relieve those days when all we have is a family [...]

Globe Tattoo Prepaid Broadband

My internet service provider was down the whole day last May 13. Since my work is done online, I couldn’t afford a very long down time. Instead of going to an internet café, I thought of just buying a plug-it, Globe Tattoo Prepaid Broadband. I read about this SUPERSURF50 promo they have. For 50 pesos, [...]

Youtube kid sensations

I really think it is highly inappropriate, those 7-year-old girls dancing provocatively to the tune of Beyonce’s Single Ladies. What is more disturbing than the dance routine is the fact that the parents of the kids think there’s nothing wrong to what the kids did. Sexualizing the kids when their parents know there are so [...]

Free WordPress themes

Beware of free WordPress themes! Not all can be beneficial to your site. Most of these free themes can even be harmful to the site’s rank! I don’t know if more people will patronize this site offering free WordPress themes. I used to be one of their many followers. I even subscribed to the designer’s [...]

What now?

What happens to a site you own if you suddenly pass away? What if you are the only one who can access it and no one knows any of your passwords? It just occurred to me that your site, no matter how well-maintained it is or how well-developed, will go to waste once you pass [...]

Twitter and the hole I was in.

I am so very glad that we can now report spammers in Twitter. There are a lot of them there! Those whose only tweet you can’t make sense of, or those women who are clearly out there to lure you into p0rn sites. I was one of those campaigning to have a mark as spam [...]
