Its a week before the ultimate firepower fight: Pacquiao vs. Cotto and everyone here are so excited with this upcoming battle of the two great boxers. I’ve just recently watched the HBO 24/7 and seen how both fighters prepared for the “day” and Miguel Cotto is seems to be more serious about this as he trained 35 days before Manny Pacquiao ever step the gym for his 8 weeks training program. Aside from that, it seems that the Filipino boxer has so many distractions during the period that he started training. He shot several shows on TV and one movie. Got “hit” by typhoon when he starts his first week training in Baguio and many others that made him to pause the fight preparation.
I said on my previous post that I believe that Pacquiao’s speed will still triumph against Cotto’s power despite these distractions and negative thinking I have with how Pacman prepared for the fight.
I, and other people from the Philippines have their faith and hope for Manny and I hope that this will not be faded by an upset. However, even he lost in this fight, his legacy and honor can’t be forgotten.
Go Manny, “you can do it!”

PLDT MyDSL MyWorld Logo
Recently, I changed my internet connection to PLDT DSL in our province from Smart Bro. I really find it fast compared to the wireless connection but I also experienced a certain problem from DSL which I don’t know if it is just a coincident or what. I always lost my connection on PLDT DSL after midnight and it only resumes early before 7 in the morning. I already experienced it twice and I don’t know if they have technical problems or it is just what it is. I don’t want to call their 171 customer care yet to report this incident but I am planning to if I will experience the same thing more later.
Now in my search for solution or fix for this problem on the web (using my SmartBro – I believe that it only needs some tweak on the DNS of the connection settings), I found this post from NonThoughts blog enumerating a list of different valid DNS servers that is working with PLDT. Here are the numbers listed by the said blog post and I use the first 4 numbers on the list and my connection on PLDT did came back.

Bleuken on BlueHost
I have mentioned on
my oes tsetnoc post (my other
oes tsetnoc blog on this space), that I will be leaving HostGator and will be transferring to a new home and that is
BlueHost (yes i.e. an affiliate link, click on it if you want to sign-up for a new hosting account at BlueHost). I know the payment scheme of BlueHost doesn’t have a monthly payment so I prepared the amount this month so that I could proceed with the transfer. Why I made decision in transferring my site to a new host? and Why BlueHost?
I like HostGator’s customer service. I am actually still hosting some of my websites. What I don’t is when my site became inaccessible specially if the traffic kicks in unexpectedly due to some instances that I can’t control. I experienced it twice or more on HostGator, any time that there’s a special event and it hits my posts then traffic comes, it causes my site to generate a 403 (Forbidden Error) or 500 (Internal Server Error) inaccessible error. Imagine on the peak of the traffic which I think not good for my site. I know I am in shared mode and its one of the limitation that I think normal to the price that I paid but I found this offer from BlueHost enticing dealing with the CPU overload which is the cause of my site’s downtime. They say that they’ve developed a certain module that will deal with this kind of problem and will avoid such inaccessible problems.
This triggers me to decide to take my chances on BlueHost. The trouble that I have just experienced is the transferring of data. But that’s the always that I am encountering whenever I made a transfer. I also encountered some stuff such as reconfiguring the PHP.INI to increase the memory to use in executing scripts and other stuff.
In conclusion, I am on the first phase of the BlueHost and checking my site for some 404 (Not found error) and later I will just share with you my experience with BlueHost if I found some issues about it.
How about you do you have any experience with BlueHost or HostGator? Share it with us by leaving comments below. We love to read your experiences.

There’s a lot of anti-virus software in the market today but still a lot of people are victimized by these programming codes that gone rogue into the cyberspace and annoying a lot of people in the world. Conficker is on the top list of the most prevalent virus in the world and the Taterf that targets massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) is just a sample of viruses that attacked businesses and computers around the globe. Now to the question what is the most effective “anti-virus” for you, the answer is not another memory hog anti-virus software (of course we need it) but the real cure is “awareness.” Knowledgeable of the different preventive measures and policies to apply on your business operations and computer usage can make a real fix even the threat is not yet there.
Here are some of the things that you need to consider to implement a very effective way of preventing or fixing possible virus threats:
