Please spread the word to other co-UP Diliman batchmates.

Just recently, I have finished the 2008 Incoming Freshman of UP Diliman recompilation. With the recompilation of the list, viewing by course is now available. This is helpful when finding people of the same course.

I admit that I am a one big Alexa fan despite the many criticisms surrounding it (from bitter people). So, as my usual weekly routine I checked my Alexa ranking.

It read 378,153. What?? 378,153 from a dazzling 300,715 last week? What the heck! So I concluded that the sudden plunge was caused by my gradual loss of traffic.

Then, I saw this cute button saying Our rankings have changed! Click here for more info. Thank God I found the answer.

With Alexa’s New Ranking System, it is more reliable as it collects aggregate data from different sources. They have also improved their methodology to maintain consistency and integrity. This move will most probably result to a better-than-ever Alexa ranking!

Congrats Alexa for than even though you gave my ranking a huge plunge!

A lot of people in the US are having problems with their bad credit offers. They do have a hard time getting a loan or a credit card with their poor reputation. Banks refuse them. They almost have nothing in times of crisis; especially nowadays that the US economy is on a decline as a function of increase in global prices of rice and oil.

But there is this wonderful company, Bad Credit Offers, that gives consumers with bad credit records a chance to get a loan or a credit card. Hooray!

They offer bad credit loans to those people who are in tight need. They also help people in getting a credit card despite their unwanted status stamped on their faces records. Great, isn’t it? Your ultimate modern-life savior!

So the next time you see yourself or a friend suffering from a bad credit reputation, you know where to start: Bad Credit Offers!

Internet TV has been my childhood fantasy. Technology, made it possible.

It’s barely two months now since we had our cable TV disconnected. It was so boring ’cause only four free-air television waves are available in our area; three big TV networks plus a home shopping TV network. The boredom triggered me to look for an alternative.

Then I found this Internet TV, Freedom TV. Freedom TV offers streaming of TV shows, movies and even radio feeds straight to your computer through Internet Protocol. For so many reasons, I found it more powerful than our previous cable connection.

They stream over 2,000 channels from 78 countries including the Philippines, of course. Their programming is also well-distributed to different genres; there’s news, sports, technology, music and the list goes on-and-on. Our previous cable TV only had about 70 channels which is undeniably incomparable to what Freedom TV offers.

They also offer round-the-clock customer service telephone; with a real human behind it unlike other customer service phones tapped to an answering bot which fails to transfer you to a human most of the time. They also offer channel/programming requests thru their customer service; to make sure their customers get what they deserve.

Internet, indeed, made a lot of things possible; from fantasies to realities.

Yesterday dawn was a mild nightmare for me. My NightmareHost (DreamHost) hosting account, again, was experiencing a slowdown. The server where my account is linked confronting a lot of problems; for the n^th time this March.

This resulted to decrease of my online productivity. That time, I was modifying Nate Sander’s Show Top Commentator plugin into a Top Commentator cloud. It took me a lot of time uploading and reuploading the code to check for errors. It also took me a lot of time checking its format whenever I edited it.

So I warn you, choosing a web host should not be taken for granted. There are a lot of tips on web hosting out there in the Internet. As much as possible, don’t be an impulsive buyer when choosing the right web host. I admit that I decided my webhost in less than 24 hours. I recommend that you read a lot (cause there’s too much industry hacks in reviews) of reviews on your prospect host before choosing it.

Most webhosts offer a limited-time money-back guarantee. I also advice you to use this if you’re unsatisfied so that you can move to another host. Bad thing for me, I only experienced major downtimes after my 97-day money-back guarantee period.

It’s up for you to choose. Just remember that choosing a web host should not be taken for granted.

Hey guys!

Loyal visitors of this blog must have noticed the sudden decrease of my blog’s load time. No, I did not switch to a new webhost. This speed-up is attributable to a new WordPress plugin - PHP Speedy.

PHP Speedy is a plugin that joins your JavaScript and CSS files before loading it to your browser. It also removes unnecessary line breaks to your rendered PHP or HTML files to save file size thus shortening load times.

Try it now and feel the change.

Are you looking for tools to remove the Funny UST Scandal virus? Then, you are on the right track.

Early this afternoon, I was trying to compile an assembly program coded by me when it failed. I tried other assembly programs; the same thing happened. I was reconfiguring my IDE’s settings when I started to suspect my firewall of blocking the assembler. I turned off my firewall and poof, it worked.

AFTER the incident, I forgot to reactivate my firewall. I was clueless that something was happening inside our PC until…

I was conversing with a friend with Yahoo Messenger. I was horrified ’cause my mouse started to move in different directions; and it was typing something on my status bar. It was sending a message to all of my friends.

And it was the Funny UST Scandal.

If you’re looking for a fix, there’s this Visual Basic Application made by a Filipino. It reverts all the infections made by the virus; making your computer clean of traces of the nasty virus.

You can download the fix here.

Good luck.

For those people who haven’t heard about our experience with McDo last week, you better read my post “The Horrible 8McDo Experience“.

A few days ago, my McDo post still ranked 4 on Google’s SERPs (search engine results page) for the keyword McDo. But just recently after trying to check its rank on the world’s best search engine, it lost its way to top 10. So, I tried viewing the top 100. It was still not there. Same was true to top200, 300, 400 and 500. Then I tried searching the exact title of my post, The Horrible 8McDo (McDonalds) Experience, still wasn’t there.

UPDATE: It’s back to the TOP 10.

This incident leads to an accusing assumption that McDonalds may have requested the removal of my post search engine entry to Google. It’s quite unfair in my part. I worked hard for my negative review to appear on Google SERPs top rank; then everything will just go to waste!

If ever McDo requested Google for my post’s removal to the SERPs, I’d like to congratulate them for communicating Google right before they contacted me. Nice strategy to cover up your damn bad service!

Anyway, one of McDo’s staff emailed me five days ago and told me to expect a response from them very soon. But to date, I still haven’t received any response from them. I bet they’re giving me another false hope; just like what they did to us last week!

Not an hour ago, I posted a post titled “Tips on Taking Multiple Choice Standardized Exams”. I was so amazed when I received a Google Alert that my post has been indexed already 12 minutes after I published it.

After a few more moments after my indescribable amazement, I remembered a post from YugaTech.com regarding his own record. Guess what, mine is much faster than his by 4 minutes. Here’s his post: http://www.yugatech.com/blog/gooooogle/google-indexed-in-16-minutes/.

Call me ignorant if you want to, I’m just being happy of my little achievement. I’m sure many other bloggers out there are having a lot faster index times.

As you can see above, all my feeds managed at FeedBurner have 0 feed subscribers. I tried checking on other blogs, they too have 0 feed subscribers.

It must be another FeedBurner bug. It would be statistically improbably to have a 100% decrease in feed subscribers in a short period of time.
