After almost a week of not being able to sort things out with my web hosting provider, my site’s fully functional again. I can now access my subdomains (which I use for the forums and my English learning blog) and my FTP. (What good is one’s site if the administrator can’t access it via FTP?)
But I’d have to say, this has got to be part of the whole collection of horror stories of people with (supposedly) the country’s top web hosting provider. Crummy technical support and false advertising (as of this writing my uptime tracker says: 85.7143% uptime contrary to their claims of 99.99%) can surely piss me off.
If this is just Pareto principle at work then I am very much disappointed.

I apologize to the few constant readers of this blog. My web host crapped out again and this site was down for a span of more or less 72 hours.
I would have blogged on a few things over the weekend but thanks to crappy web hosting service that wasn’t meant to be. I’ll be busy the whole week and the only blogging I’ll be doing will be for LifeSpy and Autojab.
I’m still trying to resolve a few issues with whatever they did to my site. But I’d have to say that I am very dissatisfied customer.
Again, I apologize and thanks for dropping by.

I avoided blogging about that anti-Pinoy OFW article Malu Fernandez wrote some time ago. The rest of the Pinoy blogosphere, however, raised hell over it. If I was in the mood, I probably have joined in the Malu-bashing. While, one friend of mine thinks that the whole issue was one of the typical (over)reaction for any anti-Filipino reaction or comment. Whether it’s a failure of the editorial process or just a tasteless comment from Malu Fernandez, the point is, I just hate blatant crass comments based on social class coming from someone like her.
This article is nearly a week old but Malu Fernandez just can’t keep her mouth shut (or her fingers curled back). Any Pinoy blogger would probably be interested reading on since it’s Malu again writing with a title “The problem with blogging….”

Probably not Google itself. But check out this AdSense ad posted beside a YouTube video of his speech:
Which means someone is buying keywords so that “Obama” as keyword will generate paid-for links to anti-Christ websites. Crazy people.
Obama for ‘08!

This week is has been uber bad for me and technology. So PayPal finally gave me back what spare change there is in my PayPal account. But a few more things got screwed up, affecting my efficiency as a tech worker. Two more booboos for the week - 1) my Google Account got disabled and 2) my lappie’s screen hinges are shot.
Not even a week has passed, then it was my Google account that got blocked. Yup. It’s the one where I keep some crucial messages and is linked to some other important online accounts. I don’t know what happened but for some reason I end up getting that “Sorry, your account has been disabled” message. I tried what was written in the help center to no avail. Even after 24 hours of waiting as stated.
