Health Tips on Preserving Your Mind and Boosting Your Memory

October 29th, 2006

I recently received an article from Harvard Health Publications entitled, “Preserving and Boosting Your Memory.” Basically, it contained helpful and simple ways to avoid forgetfulness. And I think the article is intended for me. :-D

I’ve already talked about my memory lapses in my Xanga. Sometimes, I can even sleep with my glasses on (especially, when I fell asleep on my study table, heh!). You might think that this problem is associated only with aging, although it is said that forgetfulness is commonly encountered with senility.

The article emphasized some of the preventive and enhancing activities for the mind.

E-mail Virus (W32.Stration.DE@mm) Alert! Tips on Preventing E-mail Viruses from Invading Your Computers.

October 27th, 2006

Today, I have received a separate e-mails with viruses attached from two unknown sources.

The first one (from serv@logoluso.com) has this content:

Mail server report.

Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being
sent from your computer.

Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus
type (Network Worms).

Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer
unnoticeably.
After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the
e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail
addresses

Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer
restoring.

Best regards,

Pyro finally met Batista!

October 26th, 2006

Here’s some good news:

Actually, this entry was a bit late because I didn’t saw it on TV (I detached myself from TV and the internet for a week because of exams) until I read about it on Rockersworld blog.

Not so long ago, a blog campaign was started by Cath about the wish of a child fighting with cancer to meet his idol, the famous wrestler Batista. Through the GMA program’s Wish Ko Lang, Pyro’s wish was granted.

See the details here.

I am glad about the outcome of this brigade and so happy for Pyro and his family. :-)

Make Firefox Load Faster – Optimization Tweaks, Tools, Tips and Extensions

October 25th, 2006

Recently, I had a problem with the loading time of my sites, including this one and it’s subdomains. I thought it was a host problem and posted a support question at their forums but the members said it loads pretty fast. I could not tell that it was due to the design of the site because I was not having this problem even before. So I tested it through Internet Explorer and this site loads faster, uh surprisingly. I totally forgot about Internet Explorer until I encountered this problem. So I am posting through IE when I am posting this one. :-D

Figuring out how this problem can be fixed, I found these quite useful links to optimize Firefox and make it loads faster.

Plans for Ph-Host.com

October 18th, 2006

I have acquired a reseller hosting from Ahplace and put up my own hosting forums. I started it last September but until now I only have less than 30 members. Hindi naman siguro ako nagkulang sa advertising because I’ve been advertising it in every forum I encounter. And because I am catering to my fellow Filipinos, I post about it in several forums like Mukamo and Kalibog and several classified ads sites. I am offering 100 MB space and 2-3 GB of traffic. I know it’s not much but I’ve seen some hosting sites who offers less than what I offer but they are quite successful.

I would admit that I’ve been inactive in the forums for the past days now because of busy schedule but I promise to make up on it after my school concerns have been settled.

It’s Joke Time

October 12th, 2006

There came a time when I nearly cursed the unlimited text promo of Smart, Inc. because I usually wake up with over 30 messages on my phone inbox. Haha. But don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I hate receiving messages from friends or whoever. Nakakaubos lang kasi ng time basahin minsan. :-D I love reading most of them just like these hilarious jokes I just received this morning:

Joke 1:
Matipid na Lolo at Lola went to McDo, ordered 1 Happy Meal. Hati sila sa food pero si Lola lang kumakai, nood lang si Lolo.
Waiter: Bakit si Lola lang ang kumakain?
Lolo: Maya na ako, gamit pa niya pustiso ko.
