There’s a phenomenon in advertising called Client’s Disease. Every client is in love with his own product. The mistake he makes is believing that, because he loves it, everyone else will too. Well they don’t….
Your potential customers are so busy dealing with the rest of their lives, they haven’t got a spare second to give to your product/work of art/business, no matter how worthy or how much you love it.

Here’s what u need to write

1) Reduce your message to its simplest, clearest, easiest-to-understand form.
2) Make it fun. Or sexy or interesting or informative.
3) Apply that to all forms of writing or art or commerce.

25 years of shouting out loud “FREE THE SOURCE” on the streets walking naked, 25 years is a long time till now not many trust the open source they would rather turn to closed source, that’s unbelievable till now…

In my country we haven’t adapted the open source phenomenon throughly, we still have doubts on it, sometimes the reason is, that if you use close source then it fails you have company to blame, if you use open source you have no one to blame but your self or you can sue every committer that has worked on that application, but that would be a waste of time. Sure we have used many open source software that we just don’t notice (i.e. firefox), but still on a large scale this country has not progressed on the open source community

Here are some open source software so far being used by many of my kababayans

firefox
vlc media player
mysql
and that’s it….

keep your wordpress secure
A stitch in time saves nine. I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag, but it’s true advice for bloggers as well — a little bit of work on an upgrade now saves a lot of work fixing something later.

Right now there is a worm making its way around old, unpatched versions of WordPress. This particular worm, like many before it, is clever: it registers a user, uses a security bug (fixed earlier in the year) to allow evaluated code to be executed through the permalink structure, makes itself an admin, then uses JavaScript to hide itself when you look at users page, attempts to clean up after itself, then goes quiet so you never notice while it inserts hidden spam and malware into your old posts.

THE SOLUTION: UPGRADE TO WORDPRESS 2.8.4
