Blog Ni Nano

Last thursday I had to stay home for a few hours to attend a webinar held by one of the prestigious SEO institution in the US.  The webinar was scheduled for an hour but due to a lot of topic to cover which the host went thru generally, the extra 20 min was still not enouigh to cover even the basic stuff about doing SEO work utilizing the social network.

Still it gave me a broader insight on what is currently out there and what lies ahead.

I still need a lot of explorations that I have to do so I can fully get a grasp of things.  The SEO work is really a job by itself.

Interesting thing about seo is that you are partly gambling or betting on the results that google will bring on your hard work which the end result or payout is the SERP ranking or search engine result page.

I decided to create another blog and fill it with my favorite keyword.
I was just happy that most of my sites are being listed if not in the 1st spot then at least in the first page!  Ok- I know. I need to factor in the number of pages that I’m competing against. Do you think I care at the moment? I’m just content that my selected keywords are being crawled in my sites so I guess I’m actually doing something right-eh?

May sale sa Fry’s ngayon kaya napatakbo kami ng jowa ko sa store. AMW (unknown brand) 19″ wide screen LCD monitor sale ng $119 (kung sakaling mage-gets mo ang mail-in rebate) kaya perfect opportunity to start my dual monitor setup.  Yung nga lang hindi pareho ng aspect ang monitors pero syet! Added screen estate ata ito no!

I had one of those ATI Radeon 9200 installed on my old box.  Thanks to Mr. Ronald “Ona” M. for that video card. Bro! finally got around in installing it!  Ok. back to the story… The video card has those multiple video output; VGA, S-video and DVI.  Had a few issues in making my box recognize the new monitor but finally got it fixed.

Only bodies under toppled ferry in Philippines

MANILA, Philippines - Divers wriggled into a capsized ferry Tuesday and found only bodies — including that of a crewman still clutching a radio — three days after some 850 people went down with the vessel during a powerful typhoon, officials said.

Hundreds of people were feared trapped when the ship suddenly tilted and went belly up Saturday at the height of the powerful storm that left dozens of people dead in flooded communities in the central Philippines.

Philippines Navy spokesman Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo indicated it was unlikely there were survivors from the ferry. He said the ship’s interior was too dark to determine how many bodies were there and lighting was being brought in.

“Most of the bodies were floating inside. They were trapped when the seven-story ship suddenly tilted and capsized,” he told dzBB radio.

Arevalo said it was possible some passengers could have survived initially, but the roiling seas from Typhoon Fengshen had kept rescuers at bay too long and suffocation may have claimed some lives.

He said some of the bodies had life vests but many passengers apparently hesitated to jump into the “turbulent waters” before the ship capsized because “it happened too sudden.” Survivors said the ship listed and went down in a half-hour or less.

“If there are survivors, they could only be found in the forward portion, because if the vessel is no longer watertight, water would enter all its spaces that are submerged,” Arevalo said.

Winakasan ko na ang relasyon ko sa aking unang hosting company na NetSol.  Since 2005 pa noong una akong nakipag-lokohan dito sa paggawa ng mga website sila na ang ginagamit ko. Pero marami na ring mas mura at mas maraming features kaysa doon sa dati.  Isang taon pa ang hihintayin ko bago ko ilipat ang original na domain kong zeenanoko.com sa bago kong hosting. kasi ba naman na-late akong mag-cancel. Eh langya 2 months before the expiration ang policy nila. Ang kapaaaallll! anyways..tama na..baka sabihin nila matapos ang namagitan sa amin kung ano-ano ang sasabihin kong masama sa kanila..sa aming dalawa na lang yun!  heheheh!

After 4 site migration to a new host box & 3 site migration to a new host and so far no major issues, I think I’m having a good Thanksgiving Holiday!

Finally got around in moving my personal site to a faster(?) and more reliable(?) hosting company.  But I’ll post the rest of this journey later on..

Eto nnaaahh!!
Nag-signup na ako sa bluhost to check them out kung ok nga. Mas marami  itong options at features na inoofer. The cpanel looks slick too. One  of the nice feature is that shell access. Pero I think the speed has  been degraded becuz shared hosting nga at ska looks very susceptible  sa atake ng mga tulisan.  May Fantastico rin sila to auto install  some GPL softwares like bloggers, CMS, and various open source  applications. Tamang tama sa mga no-frills users na concentrate lang sa usage  and not worry about installation and compatibility issues na kamukha ko
na sadista pagdating sa ganitong bagay. I always get side track sa pag  sosolve ng installation issues rather than the end results.

Wow! After almost a year (see my tag under site development)in battling this security issue with my host I finally won! Thanks for the help in the joomla forum and to one of the joomla heroes! The tech department of my host couldn’t (or wouldn’t) give me a simple answer or instructions on how to do it. But anyways, moving forward, I’m sticking with them for a while. (well after paying more than $30 for a domain renewal) and after I get my money’s worth then I’ll move to a cheaper host. 

This site was also hjck 2 weeks ago from those @#$%&# guys at Norway.  I was a victim from a joomla extention with a security leak that does a drive-by upload. My homepage was defaced for a few days but managed to catch it on time but not sooner cuz’ some search engine already index that page! sucks! now my domain has been tainted. $#^&$%#% you  %^&^%*%^$#!!!!

So far I like seeing my joomla back-end menu without the nagging security notice. ahhhhhh..success…

Just had a rude awakening this weekend. I was just doing it the hard way! If only I had stopped and planned what I was doing i could have save myself hours of misery and dispair.  Wordpress is an awesome software that I just didn’t have enough common sense to look and see that it has it’s own import & export feature! Duuhhhhh!! That’s why i was coming up with less than nil on the google search on the query for wordpress database importing problem…because there shouldn’t be any problem! ayyaayaayyy!  So these were the steps that I took to port over or you can tag it as - how to make a mirror site out of my wordpress blog;

• backup all your wordpress files & folders
• backup your data using the wp internal export feature (creates an xml file)
• create a new sql database on your new host
• ftp your wp backup files & folder to your new host (or do a fresh install)
• update the config file pointing to your new sql database
• once you are in the admin screen do an import using your xml backup
• copy all the plugins to the new host.
• and you’re all done!

of course some people have shorter ways to do this but this is just my general idea.. and I’m just happy that I have another reason to keep my 1and1 hosting.

2 points!
Got the wordpress migration project working on the new host. Tried to work it out on one&one dot com but I’m having problems in importing the sql file to the new host database. Getting too frustrating just trying to figure out the error messages that myphpadmin gives out.
Go dad dot com on the other hand imports easily with just a few minor tweaks on the raw sql file.

Same prelim task just like the joomla migration project. ftp the whole folder from the old to the new host and create a new database.

Last project.. Coppermine photo gallery port over!
Hmmm.. Maybe next week or so… Want to enjoy my weekend…
