Server backup in the third world
One of the services that the company I work for provides is a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Program (BCDRP) that is tailor-made for offices based in various parts of the Philippines.
Practically speaking, in the Philippines there is no such thing as 100% uptime for any office, unless it has generators that automatically kick [...]
Entrecard for Newbies
If you are one of the bloggers who have recently joined the Entrecard network and are now displaying that nifty widget (preferably above the fold) on your blog’s sidebar, congratulations! You have just opened your blog to a new universe of visitors.
There have been claims that entrecard dropping can be addictive. I think that [...]
Million Blog List
I’m # 905
and Press this Button is #906.
I’ve joined up at the Million Blog List, which states:
It is said that there are over 70,000,000 blogs in existence. This is an experiment to see how long it will take to get 1,000,000 blogs to list themselves on our site.
Since the project started only on the 8th [...]
Stuff for when you’re on the go
One of the niftier things I’ve encountered recently is the Retractable USB Charge Cable, which has versions for the more popular brands of mobile phones and handsets. That’s the one you see on the left (in its retracted state) in the picture above. That’s my tried and tested (meaning old) Sony Ericsson P910i in the [...]
WordPress 2.5 peeves petted
A week ago I updated this WordPress installation to the latest version 2.5. This I easily did through webhost’s Fantastico software update facility, where all I had to do was click on a couple of buttons and the server did everything for me. That’s how I updated my WordPress no sweat, even in this sweltering [...]
Help!
The Omnipotent, The Omniscient –
The Almighty
So it is true, what has been said about a certain blog ads network and Google, and what you need to do to get your Google Page Rank (aka PR) back.
Sam’s blog was at PR4 (yep, 1 higher than this blog) until I signed him up for a blog advertising scheme which will be [...]
iContact Simplifies Communication
One of the best ways to present a service to potential customers is through email marketing. You can put up a website, but unless people know how to get there no one would go. Targeted email marketing puts your services in front of the right audience, tapping a captured market of potential customers.
Until recently most [...]
The Taxman Cometh
It’s the lovely month of April when all above-minimum income wage earners are required to fill out the long blue forms and the short white forms and make the necessary (no to mention confusing, at least to me) computations of the amount of money the government takes from us to spend for the betterment of [...]
A new browser to press buttons with
Have just discovered the web browser called Flock, and my initial opinions about this really useful browser (really fast too, faster than Opera on this machine) are on the revitalized Kusangpalo website.
On Press this Button I learned that Intel will soon be following Levis’ footsteps as it downgrades, or “ramps down” its operations in the [...]
