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

Privacy Impact Assessment

Do you know what makes a Privacy Impact Assessment effective?

Organizations doing privacy impact assessment or PIA must make sure that their language and questioning is directed to the party which they required both practical (meaning completeness of processes being utilized) and truthful answer from.

If the PIA itself was designed and developed collectively by business, technology, legal and compliance practitioners putting every relevant element as a subject of business objectives, which doesn't tolerate counterproductive actions, then one might say, it's really hard to do this but then it would conclude and it's the best way to get into it really.

No guilty feelings. It's what the people really would experience which is considerably good and ultimately the organization's safety is better emplaced in the face of the searing cyberspace.

A PIA that's entirely an initiative of inexperience practitioner or a beginner in the job would show its shallowness and that can be very obvious to the other party who has good, if not real deal or expert, resource leading such a practical opportunity to secure business systems and related processes and the effect is usually satisfactory beyond privacy matters.

The same is true for the receiving party when, no matter the construct of the PIA requirement, they find it hard to answer, clearly there is absence of a right resource.

These entities may be showing they never consider such a role in their staffing and if they did but still lacking, the capability to identify and engage the right people who has the know-how to deal with such business requirement is dearth with foreknowledge and initiative. Just a little idea in these good stuff would have really made a helpful difference in the job.

A re-used of questionnaire being directed to one organization alone is not entirely effective. The answering party would see it right in their face that those questions were not for them! A business, technology or legal practitioner who knows its way in particular to data privacy would not bother returning the document, if it wouldn't ask the requesting party, those who wants PIA to be conducted against the company's data privacy processes and efforts, and have it answered, that the document they received is not necessarily useful for them. Of course, that is all about the effect of having honesty is the best policy in an entity, which is extraordinary in this time of continuously oppugning digital needs by those who can't, or won't like to, change the way they are, mostly due to obsolete knowledge and skills or laziness is beginning to be enjoyed as the norm, if not seeping, entirely. 

Working on a job just to appear that formality is being taken up would break it whatever pretensions are there almost immediately and when such manner saves those responsible, albeit temporarily, buying time, the technology is itself definitely broken from start because it is easy to manipulate whatever setup they have in place. The bottom line is that their performance will never get better with the same tactic and stakeholders and decision makers should be wary about it. Such thing can be detected as soon as new technology had been acquired and it didn't improve anything. From planning alone, this could have been in fact identified and debated. See that. Right?

We wrote about this subject in 2020 but our language were about data privacy as a whole which also cover privacy impact assessment as it is alone now.

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.

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
