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

Resources on Google i.e. Search and Sites, unavailable due to "unusual traffic"

 The notification or error message is exactly as the following:

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Please try your request again later. Why did this happen?

You've searched using different search engines and found some including those from

And some more from other sites with causes almost the same.

If you've tried all of those and still unable to reach the resource you need, there are a few things left you can check.

That resource is hosted on Google. How each of those different resource there respond, their sensitivity to network activity, however, are not the same. Youtube seemed impervious, most tolerable, though.

This kind of error you are getting is happening only to you and probably within your network. It may include your connection through LAN, if you have more than one computers or devices connected to your modem/switch/WiFi/router, usual for broadband, depending on your internet setup, home or office. It may also be due to how your internet service provider or telco is assigning and distributing IP addresses, especially, when you have not been given a static IP address. In many cases, a static IP address is not provided unless you ask for it. There might also be an additional fee as is the usual for broadband connections, not leased lines.

With IP assignment and distribution, your telco uses auto-configuration which shuffles or rotates the addresses to whoever is connected to the network, usually within a vicinity or in technical term, it is called network block or subnetwork(s) of IP, which groups a certain number of computers.

Your computer's IP address is not always the same, when the lease time is over or as soon as you are disconnected, that same IP address you used will be released for another computer to use. 

You can tell if your computer's IP address changes including the time interval they occur. You can even see how many different IP addresses are being assigned to that single computer (if this happens in a LAN) or router (usual for telco network device called customer premises equipment or CPE). It doesn't matter if your broadband connection is a cable, fiber or wireless. Internet protocols consider these as links, as mediums, and no preferences whatsoever, can be afforded to any. And that preferential treatment, if any, is done by either the resource owner, content provider or your telco. 

An unusual access to a Google resource, may mean that your computer is causing it without you knowing or that your broadband network, and the computers connected to it, have somebody doing it intentionally or their setup and policies are just that messy.

If you are alone and you're certain that your computer is hardened, you don't access and download files from illegal sites, then it's definitely your broadband network's.

If you are an enterprise and your connection is leased line, the only one who can eliminate such unusual traffic is you, alone. The sooner you start investigating, the more information and ideas you learn or discover, and the faster you'll resolve the problem. After that and you are certain your network is really fine, contact your telco first and if they don't know why, the last thing you can do is communicate with Google or just wait until you can access the resource again.

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

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.
