Michael Jackson caused fail whale

Michael Jackson caused fail whales on several social networking sites... I was pissed off earlier when I got home. I was going online to find news about the death of Michael Jackson and I can seem to get any websites. My wireless router looks fine and my dsl connection are all green but it doesn't allow me to connect. Well, this is caused by a "fail whale." Michael Jackson is dead and he takes a piece of the internet. During the first 5 hours of breaking the news on the internet, social networkings like Facebook and Twitter are hardly accessible. This is due to Fail whale. Fail whale happens whenever the site is overloaded. Here are some incidents during the Michael Jackson fail whale: 1. TechCrunch had several outages. 2. Perez Hilton's blog had outages too. 3. CNN had a sudden rise of traffic 4. Twitter crashed 5. Wikipedia had 500 edits on Michael Jackson's page. Read the full article here .

Inspiring Person Part 1

I'm waiting for my Big Brother UK episode 11 to finish downloading when I came across this video. A person who can see without eyes. We're really lucky that we have our eyes but its amazing to know that there people who can see without it. Eyes are very important in our lives so we should take care of it in every possible way. Its a wonderful gift to see the beauty of our own surroundings and its a pity for those who have eyes and yet they cant see the natural beauty. This story inspires us about how life can be beautiful even without eyes.

Facebo0k: Blocked by Websense

Image
Goodbye faceb0ok! Hello Twitter! This is bad news for everyone in our office specially those who wants to be connected with friends, families and love ones. In an effort to lessen internet traffic and to limit virus activity on the network, effective today, the Admin of our office network has implemented a network policy that will block access to Faceb0ok.com. Faceb0ok is a social networking site that enables users to connect with the rest of the world. Its a personal networking site and should not be abused in anyway since office network is for business use only. Many, if not all, in our office use Facebo0k to send message, share ideas and experiences to other users. Its really sad that we will no longer be able to make this possible during office hours. Good thing I have internet access at home and I will still be able to check faceb0ok after office. Isn't it right and isn't it a good way to help our company to de-congest network traffic if we access facebo0k outside the work

MTV Blog Contest

Recently, I received an email invitation about an MTV Blog Contest . I know I'm not a good blogger and why would I join such contest, right? (I know a lot will agree) Anyway, I got interested of joining. Why not? My writing isn't bad. Is it? lol! I was asked to choose a category and I chose VJs and Celebrities. Among the categories, I have to choose 1 question. And here's my question. (huh! I feel like I'm answering a beauty contest question. what am i doing here?) If you had the privilege to follow a VJ around for a day, who would you choose and why? And here's my entry entitled: MTV VJ Utt is still there? Honestly, I haven't been able to watch MTV Asia these days and I never thought VJ Utt is still there. Really? OMG! I think I'm lost. I can still remember when he's with Donita, Mike, Sarah and Sonia. He's like the youngest (looks the youngest if not) lol! But that was 1999ish or something? Wow, its been almost a decade I think when I first saw him

Lupang Hinirang : The Philippine National Anthem

Image
Today, we commemorate our independence. As a tribute, I'm posting The Philippine National Anthem. Lupang Hinirang is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe, with lyrics in Spanish adapted from the poem Filipinas, written by José Palma in 1899. Lupang Hinirang Bayang magiliw, Perlas ng Silanganan Alab ng puso, Sa Dibdib mo'y buhay. Lupang Hinirang, Duyan ka ng magiting, Sa manlulupig, 'Di ka pasisiil. Sa dagat at bundok, Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw, May dilag ang tula At awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y Tagumpay na nagniningning, Ang bituin at araw niya, Kailan pa ma'y 'di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta, Buhay ay langit sa piling mo, Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi, Ang mamatay ng dahil sa 'yo. To check out the video and the English version, click Read More.

Philippines Independence Day

Image
Google.com.ph This is cool! I went to search something on Google and I was surprise to see its logo. Then I realize, hey June 12 is Independence Day. Google shows Philippines Flag design on its logo. The  Philippine Declaration of Independence  occurred on  June 12 ,  1898  in the  Philippines , where Filipino revolutionary forces under General  Emilio Aguinaldo  (later to become the Philippines' first Republican President) proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain after the latter was defeated at the  Battle of Manila Bay  during the  Spanish-American War . The declaration, however, was not recognized by the United States or Spain, as the Spanish government ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris , in consideration for an indemnity for Spanish expenses and assets lost. The United States recognized Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila . [ 1 ] Independence Day was o

A Tale of Goldilocks

Image
Today is June 10, the 161st day of the year (162nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 204 days remaining until the end of the year. And today is a big day to celebrate the birthday of Goldilocks. She's gonna be the next American Idol in 2010. You'll see her dance at the end of this blog entry. She's the captain of our team and she's the best. But she lives half across the globe. So I can only send her virtual cakes. Like this one from Goldilocks. Everytime I celebrate my birthday, I always go for Goldilocks birthday cakes because their cakes are really yummy. You can buy it fresh from the oven. You're the number 1 Goldilocks, because any birthday or celebration wont be complete without the delicious cakes you can offer. I'm not sure if Stephanie would like this cake, I hope Goldilocks can produce Peanut butter and Jelly cake flavor coz this is her favorite. I remember last time she went here, she made us a special Peanut butter and jelly sandwic

Biggest Thumb!

Image
Can you make the thumbnail a little bigger? My Captain asked me to enlarge a thumbnail. Is there a big thumbnail? I asked myself. I'm still searching a way to enlarge a thumbnail. I know its pretty much easy, considering that its just a picture. But the software I'm using is only limited to certain task. So I have to workout my brains. While I'm looking at pictures, I found this. Well, there is one existing thumbnail and it is really big, I mean huge! Apparently, this thumb is located in Paris and its the biggest so far in the world. Now I have an idea. This is should be the start of a new thumbnail. I wont be replacing the old thumbnail I have. But I'm gonna use the fish eye tool. It allows me to enlarge a thumbnail without sacrificing the weight of the picture and the overall file. Ha! I know every thing is possible.
