MMMiii!

This is a response to Sarah’s Top Ten YouTube Finds. I don’t really have a lot of favorites on YouTube. In fact, about half of my favorite’d videos don’t exist anymore and about half of all of the favorites are just covers. I seldom go YouTube hunting and when I do, it’s usually for concerts, covers, or music videos.

But here are some that I liked enough to favorite, in no specific order.

THE ORIGINAL Scary ‘Mary Poppins’ Recut Trailer
This one is from… Mary Poppins. It’s funny. It uses clips from Mary Poppins and presents it in a scary manner. just watch it.

Less Than Three
Well… The Internet Is Serious Business. Some people even fall in Less Than Three.

Urban Ninja
This is just cool although it kind of looks fake. But it was really fun to watch.

Hilarious japanese library show
This is just … like the title–Hilarious. It’s in Japanese but you don’t really need to understand what they say. basically, 6 guys in a library making a fool of each other or torturing each other. And you know how it is in the library…

Caramell Dansen
This is from an anime that I don’t even know. But search for it on yt and you’ll find a lot of people dancing it. This video, however, is mesmerizing.

NOFX - The Idiots Are Taking Over
This is a conceptual typographic video. I’d say it’s a new form of art. It’s really nice and deep as well.

JerryC - Canon in D Rock
I ripped this into mp3 before. But my hard drive crashed before. So I don’t have the audio anymore. Thank God for yt.

Canon in D Violin Rock - Blow Your Mind version
This is a pretty original arrangement of Canon in D. It kind of reminds me of … barn dancing? Something like that. Sounds country-ish.

NANO + HIMEKA - (not sure of the title)
Himeka finally went to Japan to pursue her dreams of being a singer. NANO’s a wonderful singer as well and I’m sure they just need to get that opportunity to get somewhere. Himeka’s one of my online buddies… more like acquaintances. We have a lot of disagreements but I have always acknowledged her talent. I LOVE her voice. But anywayz, enjoy her performance with NANO. Have I mentioned that I like NANO’s voice too? I LOVE NANO’S voice too. Check out NANO’s YouTube page and LJ as well. She’s got pretty good originals as well. I’d link Himeka’s pages too but … -_-; I wish she’d stop deleting her yt videos and the songs on her wp site.

NANO - Before Your Dreams Fade Away
This will probably be my favorite song of NANO’s. Just listen to it. The video might not be much, but the music will blow you away.

Last but not the least, one of my most favoritest singers, Mimi.

Mis - Aitai yo
Mimi would probably be my bestest friend online. I love her. I love her voice. What else could I say? Oh, check out her Soundclick page as well.

I had a call the other day. The woman said something like the lightning hit the transformer outside and knocked out their power, so the transformer had to be replaced. She said there’s nothing wrong with her computer but her internet went out. The internet light is red on the modem and the modem is broken. She said.

Usually, on DSL modems, the DSL light has to be a solid green. That means there is a connection to the network. Then in some, there is an Internet light. That’s the PPPoE or the Authentication. Green would usually mean the modem is authenticated to the network. A red light would usually mean an incorrect username and/or password is in the modem. For some, it means that there is no username and password in it. And still, in some, it means that it is bridged.

Taking these things in account, of course I asked the status of the other lights. They’re all green. But we couldn’t access the modem. Tried troubleshooting the NIC–it seems to have been busted.

I tried explaining to the customer that it’s a possibility that the modem and/or the NIC has been affected by the surge.

They said they get a lot of power surges in the area so they have a surge protector. It’s not possible that something in the computer could have got broken. And it’s just the modem that is broken, not the network card.

——-Start of Irateness of customer——-

well… they seem to think that Surge Protector == will protect all devices forever. and as if their devices are invincible as long as their on surge protectors.

Well… depending on the surge protector, either devices won’t be protected as much, or will be, but only for a certain period of time.

I don’t know … *sigh* If the transformer blew up, I would think it would have taken a lot of … i don’t know… electric current? to make it explode. oh well. I’m constantly on a battle with surge protectors.

I just watched this movie because someone forced me to watch it. And I was sleepy but I couldn’t sleep, so I thought that if this movie would bore me, then good, I’d be able to fall asleep.

I must say that I am quite pleased with the movie. Like Yu said, “It was a rollercoaster of emotions.”

When one guy was running to get gunned down, I was screaming in my seat (I was in bed, but wth) “Run! Run! Run!” I needed to yawn but I manage to keep my eyes open because I didn’t want to miss a scene. Of course, I was watching it with subtitles because the accent is a little weird.

Likes:
The plot itself. Two hitmen take a vacation in a God-knows-where place to one of them, and a wonderland for the other. They’re taking a vacation because the one who didn’t like the place accidentally killed a boy and he was getting eaten up by his conscience. The story progresses as the two men experience a change of views on life and death. It also shows reality in a sense–aside from life and death, there’s racism of skin color or citizenship, discrimination for personal looks, prostitution. The ending was also wonderfully …

And so, because I subscribed to gL3nnX’s site and saw one post and so I decided to sign in and try. For the ad blocks or some shiatz, the site had to be reviewed. And so I submitted my beloved Miii and tried my luck.

Thanks for submitting your site to become a publisher with Project Wonderful! Our website review process forms an assessment of a website using a variety of criteria. These criteria include, but are not limited to, suitable content, ease of site navigation, and the website’s potential value to Project Wonderful and the experience of its members.Unfortunately your website, at http://miii.net, does not currently fulfill these requirements. The specific issue identified was:

- Content issues
We look for posts with original content and audience participation. When examining your site, we found that it appears to have one or more of the following issues: an overabundance of sponsored “review” posts, posts with content taken from third parties such as other web sites or Wikipedia, posts with little original material, and so on. While we respect your ability to build your site as you wish, we also reserve our right to exercise discretion when considering sites for Project Wonderful.

Let’s break that down.

• an overabundance of sponsored “review” posts,

I guess the 50 or so posts I did for PPP and other sponsored review posts is such a big impact that the other 1,100+ posts are invalidated.

• posts with content taken from third parties such as other web sites or Wikipedia,

I would assume this is the lyrics and the occasional Wiki snippets… maybe that makes up another 100 posts, just an estimate.

• posts with little original material,

I couldn’t help but LOL at this. So the remaining 1000 or so posts are all bull? and taken from here and there? I guess rants and complaints about everyday life aren’t original. I guess my notes from school aren’t original. The lyrics I romanized or translated myself that got copied by other websites aren’t really original content. Heck, even my original poetry is not original content. I guess I don’t really have very little original material. Like this post I’m writing now. Yep. This is unoriginal.

• and so on.

Maybe my blog qualifies in the “so on” part. I guess blogs full of “so on” just get denied.

Maa ii yo. Don’t mind what I said. I’m just a blogger scorned. I mean, I’m just a blogger with unoriginal content. Who cares, right?

It’s going to be Father’s Day again this Sunday and I don’t really know what to give my Pop. I saw a very nice prospect gift for him though. It’s from a site that specializes in personalized gifts. But it’s not your ordinary personalized gift. The gifts come in either stories or videos!

Imagine reading a story wherein you’re the hero. Or watching a video with you as the hero. It’s fun and funny at the same time, but I must say it’s kind of ingenious.

Aside from personalized stories, they also make personalized singing stuffed toys, posters, and what not, DVDs and books. It’s really a nice site. I actually want one of the singing stuffed toys for myself.

Check it out at PersonalizedStories.com. I especially like the Sleepy Time song in the stuffed Panda. (You can preview the songs for the toys and there’s a cute funny video preview as well).

Panda Panda Panda!!!

It’s kind of like Twitter … but kind of fancier. It’s on a timeline. and it has pictures. It hasn’t integrated or partnered itself with any IMs as of yet, or at least not that I know of. That would kind of defeat the purpose though, I think… I mean… the timeline thingie which is the special feature of plurk, which kind of sets it apart. I know I have 2 other twitter-like thingies that I joined but they’re so … forgettable. Literally. I can’t even remember them.

OH WAIT!!! I remember one. One is Tumblr. Maybe there were three.

ANYWAYS~~ Join me and my plurkline~~~

I feel like I’m being picked on by certain people because of a certain post. Maybe my choice of words might be incorrect though. They’re just voicing their opinions. It’s just that it feels like their opinions are being forced on me.

Forgive my simplemindedness. But for me, SEO–Search Engine Optimization–optimizing keywords to gain traffic has the main purpose of making money. Why use SEO in the first place? Just to be popular?

I don’t make money out of SEO though. I’m not so into it either. In fact, if you look at my posts that are tagged with SEO, you’ll find only three posts. Three firetrucking posts. And yes, they’re all for THAT keyword. If you check out my posts tagged with Making Money Online, there isn’t much to see either. And they’re mostly about doing paid posts.

I’m not into studying and reading and researching. Heck, I don’t even read books now. SEO and online money-making takes a lot of research and studying–that much I know. And I’m not really interested.

So the big question… Am I making money online? Yes. It’s minimal. It’s extra income. But it’s not big. I don’t plan to make a career out of it. It’s just that for me now–extra income.

I’m not quite big into SEO or making money online. I have a full-time job that I like and I haven’t had a lot of time to blog. I don’t know why these Anti-”pinay scandal” posts seem to be linking back to me, but I’m not the only one in it, and I’m not even the one who thought of it.

My blog–my opinion. I believe you also think that way. Your blog–your opinion. Right? And no one can change that–unless you do paid blogging too and you have to write positively about something–which I avoid doing that’s why I’m only in one program right now.

PLEASE redirect your rants to the one who thought of it. kthxbai.

P.S. For the record, again, for the last time. I did not get banned from Googel adsense because of keyword hijacking. Again, kthxbai.

P.P.S. Thank you for visiting my site and linking me.

MiBook (the name of my MacBook) is slow. Very Very slow. I need more RAM, I think, but I don’t know the capacity of this PoJ (Piece of Junk). I can buy 2-1Gb laptop RAM sticks but I’m not really sure if this will be able to take 2Gb of memory. Does anyone know if the old MacBook can use 2Gb?

Here are the specs of this PoJ:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook1,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB11.0061.B03
SMC Version: 1.4f12
Serial Number: 4H62947ZU9B
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled

I don’t know what exact information I need to provide so that I could determine if this can take 2Gb. If that’s not what is needed to determine it, just let me know.

The customer just got a tech come over his place and set up his DSL, but the tech did not teach the customer how to go on the internet. The customer is complaining that the tech didn’t teach him how. I asked him to double click on the Internet Explorer icon and then he should be online now (Some customers think that going online means opening Internet Explorer and going offline means closing it or exiting the program).

His page opened to the ISP’s homepage and he said “I don’t need all these advertising bullshit. I see Today’s guide and all these advertisements… I’m paying for FAST ACTION! Not f*ing advertisements!” (The homepage actually has just one ad block)

I explained to the customer that he’s already on the Internet just by opening internet explorer. He said “I WANT TO GO ON THE INTERNET.” I asked him what exactly did he want, then he said he wanted to see Fast Action. That’s what’s he’s paying for. Fast Action.

I guided him to the search bar and asked him to type in there what he wanted … but he said he didn’t want all those advertising b.s. (the text). He said the tech that came over earlier showed him moving pictures. Exasperated, I asked him if it was like movies or videos.

His answer?

“You don’t know anything. Get me your supervisor.”

And of course, I couldn’t deny him that.

I had to put him on hold for about 9 minutes because I couldn’t get an available level 2 tech or supervisor or even a team leader. I kept asking the guy to bear with me and he said he wouldn’t be going anywhere because he was an “80-year-old man stuck in a wheelchair.”

I got desperate and asked if the level 2 tech’s team leader could take my escalation. He pulled out one of his agents who was on lunch and asked me to explain the issue and take the call. I explained… and this nice guy on lunch took my escalation on my station.

It turns out, this “80-year-old man stuck in a wheelchair” wanted pr0n sites and he wanted to go to them now because the children are asleep. He must have been thinking he was finally free and that he was in one of the many fancy las vegas hotels and he could gamble, or get women, or something. I don’t know. The call lasted about an hour and a half because the “80-year-old man stuck in a wheelchair” was also hard of understanding and following instructions. Even the level 2 tech was getting exasperated. (My poor bone wrist rest became a stress bone).

At first he was just guiding the customer to type what he wants in a search engine… in the end, he gave him (spelled out) a specific porn site.

I didn’t know if I would laugh because of the situation, or cry because my Average Handle Time was shot.

*Sigh*

Sometimes, when customers get disconnected, the solution would just be to powercycle the modem and/or the router. I’m not saying that this is always the case. Like I said already, it’s sometimes. And that’s the first step in trying to re-establish the Internet connection for a network with a router.

I had a customer unplug the power cable of her router once, and it was just so amazing. She lost the cable. She said there were a lot of cables there and she just couldn’t find it. I was utterly amazed that I couldn’t speak for about 10 seconds. I mean, if you’re able to unplug it, you should at least have looked at it, right? I would understand if she unplugged it blindly, but she verified before she unplugged it that it was a thinnish black wire.

I described to her again and again how it looks like. We even tried tracing the cable from the power outlets and power strips. Yes, we tried more than one.

For about 35 minutes, she was trying to look for it. My call lasted 40 minutes. Because within 5 minutes, I had determined that we need to powercycle. Ughh… a pain for my stats.

Some people really do the most unimaginable things.
