I remember writing a story about a Philippine newsmagazine website getting porn trackbacks last week. Today, when I checked my e-mail, I got more than 10 trackbacks from porn websites! Now, I have to turn off the trackback option. It was irritating to delete each of them.

Have you grown tired of a slow Internet? Apparently, we will have to endure this dragging cyberlife because of the ongoing repairs of undersea cables broken during the Taiwan quake in December last year, as I wrote earlier.

(Ironically, I’m currently experiencing faster Internet despite this report. Go figure.)
Yes this explains the “intermittent” or slowing down of Internet services since this morning. Apparently, the 7.1 earthquake that hit Taiwan damaged major submarine fiber optic cables connecting the Philippines to the international networks.

I thought I was going to have a nice and uneventful weekend. But one stupid mistake led to another sleepless night. Okay. In trying to find an “activation code” for Kaspersky AV, I triggered a trojan, which right up to this minute, is causing problems in my PC. My Internet connection has almost slowed to [...]
