It's a Kaleidoscope World

The Master Rapper, Francis Magalona, is gone but his songs will remain.
Honestly, I am not into rap music. This is the only song that I have loved from his music.

I used the lyrics when my professor in English asked us to analyze a song in poetic sense.
The content is a powerful call to everyone. It reflects that our differences should not be a hindrance for us to work things out in our survival. WE can create a better world. Just like a kaleidoscope which consists of various colors but when you put them together, wonderful images are produced.

Kaleidoscope World
(Popularized by Francis Magalona)
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Problems after Moving Feedburner Account to Google

For almost two weeks, my feedburner stats had been showing 0 subscriber.

I was hesitant to move my feeds before when they offered the transfer your feedburner account to google. I know the task after the transfer will be much more (you have to update everything that concerns feeds in this blog, widgets, blogosphere, etc). But after continuous refusal to this offer, I was left with no option but to move my account to see my feed stats.

I successfully moved it. The name of this site used to be Information Lot. But changing the name to i-Share did not cause my feed's functionality to alter. People can still subscribe in the previous feed address (feeds.feedburner.com/InformationLot). But after the transfer, my feed was updated to http://feeds2.feedburner.com/InformationLot. So, I thought putting a 2 in the address will not cause any problem. Google had assured me that all the traffic in my previous feed address will be redirected to this new address.

So, I let it stay as is. The message said:
Your feed has been moved into this new account, and your stats have been loaded up. If you see "0" for the most recent full day, don't panic! It may take up to a week for a feed's full dose of stats to appear in your new account. I relied on that message. But after two weeks of hoping, I still see 0 subscribers.

I clicked my site's RSS icon and I was given an error message. I figured out that the problem is in feed address. I don't know how to solve this problem so, I just burn a new feed address and start all over again. I have to update every posts and widgets to make the feeds work. I was running away from this task of updating the blog's feeds but I still ended doing it. I hope you will not replicate this dumb move of mine. Don't try to change your blog title if you have are using feeds.

Deathbug

Reality and its future are quite gloomy. Last night, I was able to watch the Maalaala Mo Kaya episode (ABS-CBN) and the life of Francis Magalona (GMA). The MMK episode depicted what I Love You Forever means while the Jessica Soho documentary showed who Francis Magalona was, the kind of person he has been, his battle for the big C, and the impact of his life to other people. The MMK is the story of what life is at old age and the documentary is a version of living for a short time.

Life leads to death whether you like it or not. The reality only offers two ways of dying, either you die young or you die old. We all have the ‘switch of death’ that can be triggered by illness, accident or murder and age is not a predicting factor. The actual death will take only a negligible fraction of your lifetime though dying may take some of your lifespan. As what Morrie did (Tuesdays with Morrie), The most important thing is not how you died but how you lived even if you are dying. Dr. Gregory House also quoted that Almost dying changes things but dying changes everything. But the dying stage is not applicable to some individuals because those individuals will experience the sudden death. So, it is always better if we are prepared. We should not wait for our dying stage before we make something out of our lives. Dying is not our checkpoint to slow down and ponder on our purpose. Instead, we live out our lives, do what is right and reach out to people. They may be clichés but they are the honest truths.

How do you want your life to end? As for me, I want it to be sudden. Though unexpected death can cause more pain to the people around you than death with prior notice.

Perry Mason Ebooks Collection (Added Lam and Cool Novels)

Perry Mason is a fictitious character created by Erle Stanley Gardner. He is a defense attorney who only takes cases if he thinks they are complicated and risky. For a detailed account of who he is, check the Wikipedia entry.

Perry Mason has a character similar to Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle) and to Dr. Gregory House (David Shore). So, if you happen to like them then you will also want to read Mason's cases. There used to be a TV series for the books, you may also want to find them in the net.

Gardner was able to laymanize some of court and law jargon like court proceedings, wills, murders and heirs so readers comprehend the processes even without prior knowledge on them.

Here are some synopsis of Gardner's series. The novels always start with "The Case of..."

How to Protect Your Computer from Virus-Carrying USBs?

My laptop used to be called the "Laptop ng Bayan" because I always lend it to those who are in need. (Naks! Philanthropist.) It was always passed around and a number of USBs were plugged into it. So, you can expect that after the rounds, viruses will be thriving in its system. That's when I started to acquire some skills in solving virus problems. I did manual deletion from the registry, tried different antiviruses and practiced techniques to prevent the virus from spreading. But then I discovered the Deep Freeze, USB Disk Security and USB Firewall. I had already posted how the Deep Freeze functions.

The USB Disk Security and USB Firewall are applications that detects viruses from a USB/Flashdrive once it is plugged into the computer. It will alert the user on the existence of the suspicious files contained in the USB and will offer the option to stop and delete them. It works as good as antivirus but it cannot protect the whole computer system from malicious programs, only the removable drives.

The USB Disk Security monitors in real time, can examine the USB drive thoroughly, can repair the registry and cleanup your drive, and it can show the list of startup programs. The downside of using this is it does not go through the subfolders on which viruses can also hide. You have to do the USBScan for thorough scanning.

Download USB Disk Security The file is not a shareware but it contains the serial for the full version.



The USB Firewall can clean your disk drives and remove the autorun.inf file in them. Though it only says detection of autorun.inf files, it also detects other malicious programs once they attempt to launch.

Download USB Firewall. The file is freeware, no need to register.

I have the two applications running in my laptop along with Kaspersky. The virus attacks lessened because I was able to detect some of them before it enters my laptop.

Hope you find it useful too.
