I'm using CoreFTP limited edition, free version of the program for my daily uploading website contents. I've noticed in many occasion that I'm having problem uploading big files. So I decided to try Filezilla FTP client.

The filezilla FTP client is another open-source that you can use to upload or download files. Not just a client, the Filezilla offer a server version for Windows to make files available for others to download. As of this date, they only provide FileZilla Server for Windows only.

I've installed and tested it, easy setup and fast to upload files to my server. Check it out and let me know if you have questions.

Microsoft will power Yahoo search for the next 10 years.

It's about time to complete the search transaction between Microsoft and Yahoo. This will provide a competitive search against Google. I hope publishers will benefits to the partnerships of Microsoft and Yahoo. As publisher, we now have alternative source of income between Google Adsense and Yahoo Publishers/Microsoft Ad Center.

"Microsoft and Yahoo officially inked on July 29 the search ad deal everyone's been talking about: Microsoft agreed to power Yahoo's search engine, and Yahoo agreed to become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies' search advertisers.

coming 18 months after Microsoft failed to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion, has a duration of 10 years, during which the Microhoo combination will be working feverishly to chip away at search engine giant Google's 65 percent market share.

Microsoft and Yahoo hold 8.4 percent and 19.6 percent of the market, respectively; together, they believe closing the gap will make them a worthy adversary of Google." (2009, eweek.com)

Error 1316.A when reinstallation of software.

Posted by Support @ Whaddya.com On 7/27/2009 12:18:00 AM 0 comments
I'm trying to un-install an old version of Symantec from one computer. Usually we go to Control Panel, Add/Remove program to uninstall the programs, then use regedit tool to clean the registry. Well, uninstalling Symantec program is a challenge for me tonight. I thought it will be a under one hour and I'm done so I can watch scifi shows. :)

But that was not the case tonight.

During my troubleshooting and searching the Internet to solve this problem. I found two utilities that useful to do clean up. The first one is ccleaner from ccleaner.com website.

"CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)" (2009, ccleaner.com)

With ccleaner utility, I personally like the cleaning of your online activities such as your Internet history. I normally use the "Clear browse data" in Google Chrome or Internet Tools- delete browsing data in Internet Explorer after using my computer.

The second tool is from Microsoft, this is the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. When you run this tool, it will show you all other programs previously un-install or deleted but still left some files in your computer system or registries. You will encounter an error 1316 when youn try to reinstall a program due to corrupted files.

So, to resolve this issue. You need to fully un-install or delete the corrupted files for example Symantec or iTunes program. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, highlights the programs then click remove. After that, you may reinstall your program again. It should work smoothly.

Post your comments. Cheers for now.

Warning: Upcoming .CM Cybersquatting Possibilities

Posted by Support @ Whaddya.com On 7/26/2009 12:31:00 AM 0 comments
If you after for traffic only, it is not worth it to snap a .CM domain name besides the high cost of maintenance. Though if you want to protect your own trademark, then go ahead.

"Trademark Attorneys Warn Companies About the Upcoming .CM Cybersquatting Possibilities.

In light of recent announcements regarding Cameroon's country code Top-Level Domain, .CM, being opened to public registration, Tresa Baldas reports on Law.com: "Trademark attorneys are warning companies about a new target for cybersquatters known as '.cm,' which is the country code—or top level domain—for the West African nation of Cameroon. The dot-cm domain is a hot target for scammers, they say, due to 'cm' being a common typographical error for 'com' in the popular dot-com domain. Attorneys say this is significant to brand owners because Internet users searching for brand owners' Web sites frequently mistype dot-com as dot-cm and wind up on a bogus site. Not only is Web traffic lost, they say, but a brand name can get diluted or tainted along the way." (2009, CirceID)

A friend is asking about what happened to this incident so I've searched the Internet and get some information. Here's what I've got.

"JULY 23--Here are the police reports detailing the confrontation last week between Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Cambridge cops, who were condemned last night by President Barack Obama for acting "stupidly" in arresting the African-American scholar. Cops responded to Gates's house after neighbor Lucia Whalen reported spotting "two black males with backpacks" trying to gain entry to the home (Gates, returning home from a trip overseas, and his driver were contending with a stuck front door). The Cambridge Police Department reports, authored by Sergeant James Crowley and Officer James Figueroa, quote an incensed Gates yelling, "This is what happens to black men in America!," and, when asked by Crowley to speak with him outside the residence, Gates replied, "ya, I'll speak with your mama outside." A disorderly conduct rap was filed against Gates, but quickly dropped by prosecutors. Gates is reportedly considering legal action against the Cambridge police." (2009, TheSmokingGun.com)

This is the story of the Cambridge Police Officers. I hope to get one from Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Domain Hijacking Alert

Posted by Support @ Whaddya.com On 7/22/2009 01:05:00 AM 0 comments
This is alarming and I would like to inform our readers if you manage your domain name for personal or business use. Please call your registrar or email customer service, ask them to lock your domain name and not to transfer without your approval. This is added task from locked domains and changing your account password regularly.

"Weitzman has been in the domain game since 1994 and oldtimers in the industry know him as one of the pioneers in the business. Weitzman is a quiet guy who has never been interested in the spotlight, but as the victim of a major domain hijacking he is speaking up now with the hope that the publicity will lead to the return of his domains and prevent problems for others who might unknowingly buy the stolen names and lose their investment. Weitzman is also trying to find out how the theft happened and he believes the break-in could have occurred as high as the registry level at Verisign." (2009, DNJournal.com)

The initial lists of domain names includes adios.com, even.com, before.com, tysons.com, etc.

Again, get in touch with your registrar to lock down your domain names.

Windows Search or Google Desktop

Posted by Support @ Whaddya.com On 7/22/2009 12:56:00 AM 0 comments
A friend of mine is asking on how to search his local drive folders, files and specific "string" text. My quick answer is to use the built-in folder search via Windows Explorer.

And if this doesn't help out, then you might consider using Windows Search or Google Desktop for complete tools searching your files. When you install any of these tools, it will slow down your system because of indexing and other built-in features. So after you use this tool, I recommend to check the options feature and only allow what you need. And if you will not use it anymore, just un-install the program to free up you system.

I also found an article comparing Windows Search and Google Desktop, check it out.

"Windows Search gives you far more control over which files and folders you want to index. While Google Desktop says that "all fixed drives" are indexed by default, Windows will only index drives that you select. While this means Google Desktop is easier to setup, it also means that you wind up with a larger index file if you have hard drives and folders that you don't really need indexed.

On our test machine, Google Desktop indexed over 270,000 files, while Windows Search indexed 65,000. Google Desktop's index files took up about 1.7GB, while Windows Search used just 374MB. Advantage: Windows Search." (2009, Downloadsquard.com)

I see one advantage of Windows Search, it is Enterprise Ready. Windows Search is easy to deploy and manage, with enterprise-class security that prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information. Robust Group Policy support gives IT professionals control over every aspect of search functionality-from the types of files to the locations that get indexed.

If you use Windows Search or Google Desktop, please share your thought here.
