Get 50-70 volts from your Telephone Line
It’s a circuit to get 50-70 volts from your ordinary telephone line. Nice project to try.
Gmail — up, up and away!
Gmail is indeed adding more space to its free web-based email service. Up until now, I didn’t notice that speed the which the capacity is being added to my account. Although this is a delayed action as compared to other mail service around (e.g. Yahoo Unlimited capacity, hotmail with 5GB.), I am still happy with this new development.
Based on my calculation, my account capacity increases by 0.091088 Mb / minute. That translates to:
- 5.46528 Mb an hour
- 131.16672 Mb a day
- 3,935.0016 Mb a month
- 47,220.0192 Mb a year
So next year today, I should have at least 50Gigs of email capacity. 
That is of course if google maintains the same rate in increasing capacity.

This machine is really one nice piece. It may not serve as a gaming machine but is very ideal for a “download” server preferably torrents 
It is also very quite thus, ideal for my room where I usually leave the computer during the evening while I recharge myself with sleep. Now I have a lot of things in mind, hmmm, your own appliance router, an appliance mail server suitable for a small company, VoIP gateway, an appliance IRC bot (hehe), a plug-n-play bugging device, or just simple portable workstation.
The price is 280USD. I’de buy this first thing tomorrow if this is available in the Philippines.
Interview With A Convicted Hacker: Robert Moore Tells How He Broke Into Routers And Stole VoIP Services
 |
On his way to federal prison, the 23-year-old hacker says breaking into computers at telecom companies and major corporations was “so easy a caveman could do it.” |

InformationWeek
Convicted hacker Robert Moore, who is set to go to federal prison this week, says breaking into 15 telecommunications companies and hundreds of businesses worldwide was incredibly easy because simple IT mistakes left gaping technical holes.Moore, 23, of Spokane, Wash., pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit computer fraud and is slated to begin his two-year sentence on Thursday for his part in a scheme to steal voice over IP services and sell them through a separate company. While prosecutors call co-conspirator Edwin Pena the mastermind of the operation, Moore acted as the hacker, admittedly scanning and breaking into telecom companies and other corporations around the world.
Some thoughts
It’s good to be back! Here are some thoughts I want to share from my vacation:
- I like big fones. I particularly like the big screen which is good for browsing the net with WiFi. Although this may may the fone bulky but it’s a good trade-off. I even thought of swapping my E61i with a new E90. Most people will find the E61i has too huge a screen but the truth is, I find the screen insufficient
- Shih tzu puppies are cute
- Life is too short
- Tacloban’s letchon and letchon paksiw are the best!
I also made a short list of Free WiFi internet hot-spots:
- Gloria Jean’s Coffee [Imelda Ave.]
- Bo’s Coffee [Imelda Ave.]
- Metro Bank Zamora [Zamora St.] ( I don’t know where the signal is coming from, bout yes I can connect from my E61i)
- Laus’ Residence
- Homeres’ Residence
Places where I expected to have Free WiFi internet access but as it appears, no WiFi is available:
- Manila Domestic Airport Terminal 2 (the old airport)
- Tacloban DZR Airport
- Jose Karlos Coffee (i love the homie ambiance)
Now that I am back in Manila, I hope to add more content as IT happens. Cheeeers!
Innove 0wns myDestiny!
Well, soft of. I just had my new myDestiny cable internet a few hours ago (a motorola modem was issued to me) and being the Tech Ninja that I am, I was quick to look what’s with myDestiny’s network. I fired up the command line and did “tracert yahoo.com”.
OpenSolaris will challenge Linux says Sun
By China Martens, IDG News Service
Sun Microsystems has ambitious plans for the commercial and open-source versions of its Solaris operating system, hoping to achieve for Solaris the kind of ubiquity already enjoyed by Java.
To come close to reaching that goal, Sun needs to reach out more to developers and endeavour to overcome some long-held prejudices against the OS.
Sun’s Java programming language, which debuted in 1995, is present in most of today’s PCs, mobile devices and embedded systems. The vendor is now seeking that same kind of omnipresence for Solaris, its flavour of Unix.
