I thought our internet connection is pretty fast compared to others but I was wrong because last night it took me almost 4 hours to upload online a 4:02 minutes video.

Where we are, our ISP, SmartBro is the third to the last among 17 other ISPs when compared from the period of August 19, 2008 – February 18, 2011.

Here’s the link.

I sure hope that later on the speed improves.  We need to look at urban clothing photos as reference for a school dance performance and mathematical operations with fractions videos as a refresher lesson.

Ye  right.

I have read an article like this before and in fact I even have a draft in my other blog about .xxx internet suffix to be used for porn adult sites.

The fact that there are more than 100k pre-reservations for this certain domain shows how the adult content is active. This was reported by ICM Registry. These domains though are not yet available but they are looking at early 2011.

You may be curious if people are Googling your name or anything online about you like your blog or biz site. You want to be alerted if that happened so now you want to learn how to set up a Google Alert.

Let’s say for arguments’ sake that you are not that vain or curious enough to know if someone has been Googling you. Let’s say you are interested in various topics like potted cactus, seo tools, affiliate marketing and other topics of interest, this tool will still be useful in letting you know that a new post/article has been added for your reading pleasure.

How?

There is this application called GOOGLE ALERTS that alerts you in case the key words you find important to you are Googled. This definitely can include your name and who knows whatever aliases you might be using in the WWW.

Here is how to do it:

1. Go to GOOGLE.COM
2. Click on that small arrow on the upper left hand until the menu drops down with “EVEN MORE”
3. Click “Even More” and you will be directed to this page.
4. Under the “Search” on the left column, click “Alerts” and you will be directed to the Google Alerts page.
5. You can now put in the key words that you want to be given an alert.
6. The alerts will be emailed to you gmail account.
7. No gmail? then create your own gmail account now!

If you had a difficult time with my instructions, then watch this video.

How was this helpful to me?

Some significant alerts are about these:

I got an alert about an article I wrote for a site and saw that a Multiply account copied my WHOLE ARTICLE! I let the editor know about it and they dealt with the blog owner.

I got an alert the other day ab out my photo (from another blog) used without my permission. I got an account with that forum  and saw my pic and I was able to take it down by changing the date of the post and putting the pic in my Flickr account.

There. I hope this article was helpful.

We got a new hard drive for the pc but the pc seems to be not responding to the new hardware.

Hubby reformat the pc and my son was worried his game stats would be removed. Son doesn’t want that since he has worked hard to “beat” Formula 1 drivers in the games he plays. No way these stats would be removed.

Good thing there is online backup for files that we were able to use for the meantime.

Hubby was able to tinker with the pc and son gets to save his stats. Everyone is happy. Yey!

The rains and the flooding did a lot of damage during last week’s deluge brought about by typhoon Ondoy.

To those who rely on their computer files for work-related tasks will have a difficult time retrieving their files especially if there have been no back up.

Emails pertaining to work and those coming from relatives who are eagerly awaiting news about the safety of their loved ones should be archived properly like how it is being done through email archiving services come in handy in emergencies like this.

Have you protected your computer files?

I am on the lookout for new cell phones, not that I can afford to buy one right now. I chanced upon the new Nokia X series and I must say the Nokia X6 captured my attention.

The unit may look boxy to others but for me this unit is definitely something I would set my sight at. Full specs can be read here.

Now if only this is affordable, 😀
