Say everything, blogs are everywhere

Our title is itself a book's and the first sentence, see that after the comma, is in its front flap by journalist Scott Rosenberg. Let's take some more words from it and share here. Blogging brought the Web's native character into focus---convivial, expressive, democratic. Bloggers have become the curators of our collective experience, testing out their ideas in front of a crowd and linking people in ways that broadcasts can't match. Blogs have created a new kind of public sphere--one in which we can think out loud together. The preceding paragraph is all in the book flap, front and back. It is the simplest answer if somebody is asking what a blog is, then and now. Although we see that as the magnanimous purpose of a blog which is really enticing and challenging. It adds choices and rooms for both sources and audiences without the regular prescriptive cadence.  What's common is the responsibility. Whether or not we do it via blog, print and online news, and whoever

The IT Practice

It was electronics, next computers--then functions and uses came up from everywhere--and there were personal computers, servers, connectivity, business applications, information, analytics, artificial intelligence including smart machines and not ending with smart cities. What have you?
 
Take everything, and eliminate your biases of a certain product, if you are or will be gearing into IT Practice. Imagine high technology companies, these are the technology manufacturers themselves and create another businesses within it, that tries to compartment their people to deal only in a very specific technology or product. They are creating a team or their people to be limited of the extensions required for a technology to be even more useful with existing systems for the sake of their customers. Begin by learning the bits-and-ticks of both the business and IT. If already a practitioner then extend the learning either if not both of these areas. For business, observe and take things that matter with the realities of IT or simply for computing and automation purposes. Don't try to filter information. Be liberated as this is discuss to people, whoever they are, may be it’s the boss or colleagues. For IT must be for everyone, end-users including practitioners must also realize that it will make their lives easier. Not only the few that made IT available now. Not only for scientists and engineers that created as well as Europeans and Americans that invented early electronic devices that made up the computers and connectivity that we very well know facilitating our work beginning decades ago. Thanks to the market these technologies will continue to take advantage of our businesses and activities to advance further the opportunity of information technology--the sprawling technological extensions it created--and practice behind it. It is also for all the governments, businesses and individuals, now more than obvious with social media. Unfortunately, the experience is a stark contrast to social media and not so with our own business-computing or enterprise systems. Together the stakeholders continue to bring the technology to a greater heights and enable more opportunities for people regardless of their business and activity. It shortens the path to, and delivers fast on, communication. Provides better business facilities and smarter market insights. Makes life easier at the workplace. Contributes savings for the business and the people.
 
The practice in IT is not at all viewed the same way. Practitioners especially have their own specialization which then create wrong impression for their contribution in their company if they are given the chance or try to cover other or broader responsibilities. Just like other disciplines, these are known experts in their industries even regulators, but then caused enough to the past economic collapses. Nowadays, many businesses are not still definitive of their need with IT. Take that as an example why companies, local ones especially, couldn't even establish their basic technology platform.
 
IT and the practice itself is hard core on computing, information, connectivity and enterprise system—enables the technology to fit with the need of the business. The goal, how it was acquired, implemented and managed (AIM) makes the business and activity different from the crowd of technology adapters. These are those who simply copy what their counterparts are doing simply by paying a little bit more for a prospective employee to jump ship. A scenario that cannot be denied. Companies really lives within their industry they merely replicate off-the-shelf solutions recommended for them by their loyal or accredited vendor. They work and missing just a bit. The productivity output is not also different from each other. It can be done better.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all

How functional and secure AES is

How functional and secure AES is? The Philippine electorate will once again go to polls and decide who will lead the nation in the next six years of their lives. This important event which will elect new president, vice president and 12 senators for national posts, and seats are also being contested for provincial, city and municipal levels, is expected to be counted unofficially in 24 hours, concluded or canvassed officially in a few days or so but authorities and observers expected it to be done in less than a week. Last presidential election, it was known three days after close of election precincts. This is especially true for nation states, not only the Philippines, that conducts their elections using automated election or computerized-and-networked voting systems. In PH, the past automated elections were encumbered with technical issues and fraudulent results, uttered and written everywhere by many concerned and affected individuals and institutions alike. This time, we could say

Philippine cyber campaign

Are Philippine institutions being targeted or simply being probed? We don't know for certain. It could be either or both. Whichever comes first? What we can understand, with the success of such attacks, is that they have found their way. Really.   How hard or easy? The attacker knows, but probably, also, those being attacked. Inclination should be there no matter how sophisticated our security systems are. In cybersecurity, we do a very focused job. Making sure we disappoint whoever is trying to gain access to any resource without permission and authority regardless of the environment we are in. What happened is that every asset deemed to have every variant of resource built-in, operating, that makes up the entire system working whatever it is trying to employ, in that case the primary purpose. Meaning, we have to know if we are running our system in a manner that is really secure, provisioned properly during design stage and managed continuously afterwards, post-implementation. No
