Edit: Win Perfect World Gold! Check this post for details!Perfect World Beast

I am not going to give a lengthy review (or am I?) on this very addicting MMORPG game. I began playing Perfect World in September of last year (2007) and played 20 hours a day until I discovered another addicting internet activity - blogging. Instead, I will just give a brief introduction about this game, just in case some of you haven’t heard of it yet. At the last section of this post, you can check out some screen shots and a Perfect World video from Levelup.

PerfectWorldPerfect World is a full-feature 3D online game that is based on rich Chinese mythology and set in the world of Pangu, with entire generations of gods that paved the way for the creation of great civilizations. Anchored on groundbreaking creative elements and features that catapult it into the next level of 3D online gaming, Perfect World bestows players with the power to create their own legend and, ultimately, their own Perfect World.

This MMORPG game is introduced in the Philippines last year by Levelup Games, a leading online games publisher in the country, who brought in Ragnarok, OZWorld, RF Online, FreeStyle and many other great online games.

The Pentium-5 hubbub

No, its not about Intel’s new processor chip release. I usually use Pentium-5 performance in my Consulting job - everytime I speak to my clients about speed, reliable, real-time data processing.

But Pentium-5, in my Consulting jargon, is exactly the opposite of what a system with a Pentium-5 processor in it - if ever Intel is going to produce one someday, (maybe in 2010?). It is an upgrade of Pentium-Poor. It’s all about sluggishness, slow, shamefully slow performance, outrageously slow speed - in other words, just !@$#%2%$!!!#$@#$ SLOW!

Yeah, this site has been running very slowly several days now, extremely Pentium-5 performance! Yeah, that is, you click on my site, and it takes 5 minutes before it shows up! What a bummer. Well, Bendz, in his usual playful self - thanks God he’s back to his playful self, did made a very inspiring comment, yeah, I mean it, very inspiring as I am now seriously considering changing to a better hosting service.

My Web Hosting, sent me an email:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Support.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.

I have checked your Web sites http://aaaaa, http://bbbbbb and http://bloggista.com and noticed that it is loading slowly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Currently, we are in a process of upgrading the MySQL servers to higher version. Hence, the customers are experiencing slowness while accessing the database. We do not have the exact time frame for resolution but we are expecting this to be done soon.

If you have any further questions, you can e-mail us seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Sincerely,

Customer Support

Too bad. I don’t know when they will gonna complete all these upgrades. I have noticed the sluggish performance several times over a 2-month period while they’re doing all those system upgrades. And I think it’s now time to seriously consider transferring to a better hosting service. I mean business, and I mean reliable, fast and simply better hosting.

Hey guys, if you have some suggestions on better web hosting provider, please leave your comments (with some discount coupons, even better, hehe).

Though I have to be assured of these two things:

  • No downtime when transferring to the new web hosting provider
  • Easy transfer of my blog and sites and databases ( I am not a techie, so this one’s kinda tough for me).

Politics of Hope, Political Will

For once, we ask our political leaders to think something productive for our country. With all these investigations left and right, from the Senate to Congress, our leaders became experts in investigations and the practice of law in front of national televisions, whose viewing statistics rivaled, if not, outnumbered the most popular soap shows on primetime tv.

Our political leaders are quick in conducting all these hearings in aid of legislation, but have they really took some real efforts in making sure all these grafts and scams can be avoided, if not eliminated in the future? So much has been done on ‘reactive, firefighting’ politics of hate, but no true programs were done to implement systems and procedures to prevent re-occurrence of such corrupt practices.

As outlined in my rebellious blog at blogrebel, this country needs real, pro-active solutions to rid the bureaucracy of anomalous deals and contracts. We need a true, globally accepted ‘Procurement’ system powered by Information technology. Smaller companies spend millions of dollars to automate and upgrade their Purchasing departments, to benefit from what Information Technology can give - automate, track, and streamline procurement processes to help in reducing costs, eliminate incidence of fraud and maximizing the investments made in these purchases. The government, which is a hundred times bigger than these corporations, need this even more.

A true IT-enabled procurement system (Oracle, SAP, etc.) not only automates Read the rest of this entry »

I have read the post over at Marghil’s blog regarding the top keyword that placed most Pinoy bloggers on top of Google’s list. And not surprisingly, its all about pornography. The keyword, Pinay Scandal topped the list on that category, and many blogs were listed higher in Google because of this.And what are those most blogs all about? Gladly, there is no actual Pinay Scandal photo, or any Pinay Scandal video on them. Its actually becoming a noble cause for most Pinoy bloggers to get rid of the search engines like Yahoo! and Google from the insulting and degrading pornographic contents and videos that directly associates the supposedly gentler and noble meaning of the word Pinay, or short term for Filipino women, from the word Filipina.

The viral tagging connection

This post is a response to Joanjoyce’s Tag Day Sunday #15. For the first time, I was tagged! Ever since I started into make money online blogging, I saw the benefit of getting tagged and pass the tagging gesture to other bloggers in getting better rank statistics and boosting Technorati Authority. This tagging game requires the blogger being tagged to do the same and tag 5 other bloggers to keep the tag chain from breaking. However, I am not pretty sure if the persons I’m tagging would respond the same. I have selected four other fellow bloggistas (or bloggers) whom I think may not have a favorable view on ‘tagging’ (and I hope I am wrong).

And they are: Deimos, Michael, RMO, and HRM Business, and lastly, my other blog, blogRebel (haha, pardon for some shameless self-promotion).

Cut and paste the following starting here.

I have randomly selected 5 of you below to be tagged and I hope that you will similarly publish this post in your blog. You will have to tag 5 other bloggers and just keep adding on to the list. (Do not replace, just keep on adding! Yes we hope it will be a long list!)It’s real easy! Tag others and see your Technorati Authority increase exponentially!
The benefits of Viral Linking:- One of the fastest ways to see your technorati authority explode!- Increase your Google PageRank fast- Attract large volume of new traffic to your site- Build your community- Make new friends!
