Google Caffeine
That is right guys, Google announces the end of the sandbox to move to the release of the next search engine algorithm of the biggest search engine ever existed on the world wide web. According to Matt Cutts (from his blog) that they will move from the developer preview to going live using one data center.
Here is what he said from his blog:
I know that webmasters can get anxious around this time of year, so I wanted to reassure site owners that the full Caffeine roll out will happen after the holidays. Caffeine will go live at one data center so that we can continue to collect data and improve the technology, but I don’t expect Caffeine to go live at additional data centers until after the holidays are over. Most searchers wouldn’t immediately notice any changes with Caffeine, but going slowly not only gives us time to collect feedback and improve, but will also minimize the stress on webmasters during the holidays.

Search engine optimizers and specialists get ready for this and be ready for the change on indexing structure and ranking of the sites.

Custom 404 Tips
There are some cases that visitors or even you misspelled URLs from your site when they try to visit a specific page on your website. Sometimes they use from other site that point to non-existing page or posts from your blogs or website. This happens when you delete a page or rename the permalink or URL of a page. This usually results to a 404 error response from your server or a “Error Not Found” page which is a blank page with a large text: “Error 404 – Not Found.” It will be like a dead end for your readers.
Now, for better user experience, you could customize the 404 page that will be involved for responding to this kind of situation. If you are using Wordpress as your CMS for your site, the 404 page is usually part of the theme of the site which you can easily customize by editing it on the theme editor found on the dashboard. The filename is usually 404.php or 404.html for non-Wordpress sites.
You can use the following Javascript from Google to the page to provide a search functionality and page suggestions plus URL fixer for the 404 page: (don’t forget to replace the GOOG_FIXURL_SITE value with the URL of your own site).

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.
