2nd Semester Survival Tip

categories: My News, Web Dev't

Welcome SECOND SEMESTER of School Year 2014-2015!

Well, days are too fast. It’s second sem again, at last the subject that I loved to teach is I have again. I hope my students will be patient and generous enough to follow instructions, guidelines, and policies in my class.

It’s always a busy day for me ever since I am here at ISU. See my schedule?

mysched2nd2014-2015

It’s survival challenge again with my hectic schedule. How I wish I can feel now that I am really a teacher. Because of designations and other positions, I sacrificed my classes. To my students, please understand that I can’t meet you all the time but we will try to cope up our missed exercises.

My students can survive in my class more especially if they were punctual, industrious, generous, and patient. The following are common policies you should follow:

  • Uniform (Wear your complete and proper uniform). Girls: Long-sleeved blouse must be wear only during monday and thursday only with the big necktie. Boys: White polo should be wear with green ISU logo. Haircut should be neat at least barber’s cut with the ears and eyelashes visible.
  • Punctuality (You have 30 mins allowance to enter my class). You are allowed to have maximum of 7 absences throughout the semester, but not allowed to have 3 consecutive absences or 6 consecutive lates.
  • Homework (This should be done at home, not in the school).
  • Project (Submit it before the deadline and no worry!). What is being instructed should earnestly followed.
  • Quiz/Exam (Answer what you know is right, and submit your paper). Get the score which you deserved and do not cheat. Always prepare a paper and not be surprised for the unexpected. A less 5 point deduction is always imposed to cheaters, and 5.0 grade for those who used “kodigos”.

Well, I highly advise you as my students to have your own control checklist of your scores and you will be the one to compute your grades just after taking the final exam. With this, you can target what grade do you want. You should do this in all of your subjects too, so that you will know if your instructor really records everything or if they know also if they follow the grading system. 😉

Here is the grading system I follow. Please take note that the exams are the criteria that all of us (teachers) are the same.

Resource overusage causes

categories: Computer News, Tutorials, Web Dev't

Your shared hosting account can only use a limited amount of system resources. If you are overusing resources on your hosting account, you should review your hosted sites to see if they match any of these common causes.

Cause Description
Storing large files or file collections Improperly using your hosting account’s storage space
Sites that promote spamming Letting anonymous users to spam elements of your website
Unrestricted or anonymous user creation Letting anonymous users to create site content
Web scraping, indexing, and scanning applications Hosting applications that scan massive amounts of external site data
Auto-blogging, article spinning, and SEO-inflation Automating external content creation for invalid SEO purposes
Mass merchant affiliates and cloned websites Cloning multiple external websites for invalid SEO purposes
Mass-emailing platforms Sending massive email campaigns through your web hosting
Outdated applications and add-ons Hosting applications or plugins that are outdated and pose security risks
Other common causes Hosting poorly scripted applications, hosting compromised sites, etc.

We are not able to support custom scripting or third-party applications. You can review these guides for general information, but ultimately you will be responsible for diagnosing, troubleshooting, and correcting any issues that can exist in your sites or applications.

Additional resource usage causes (resource overusage)

Besides the common causes for resource usage, there are some additional possibilities that can contribute to overusing hosting resources.

Is this an issue for me?

Here are some common additional symptoms and causes of resource overusage:

  • Poor scripting and/or site optimization
  • Poor code quality in third-party applications, add-ons, and plugins
  • Websites or applications that have been compromised
  • Cron tasks or other automation that runs resource-intensive commands

How can I correct this issue?

You can try to correct excessive resource usage by following any and all of these steps:

  • Review code and error logs for possible loops, errors, or other bugs.
  • Keep all web applications, add-ons, and plugins up to date at all times.
  • Ensure that you are following good site optimization practices.
  • Review any cron tasks that can use additional resources.
  • Review all hosted content for possible compromise.
  • Implement additional security measures on your site, such as SiteLock.
  • Leave shared hosting and migrate to a VPS or dedicated server.

Next Steps

If you are still experiencing issues with resource usage, review your hosting for other possible causes at Common causes for resource overusage (Linux).

You will want to make sure that you are correcting the underlying cause to any resource issue. Simply removing sites and/or files without correcting the underlying issue can cause the problem to recur.

Email Setup in any client

categories: Tutorials, Web Dev't

Source: JustHost.com

Below are the settings that are needed to configure and retrieve email from your main IMAP or pop account. You may find exact settings in the Email Accounts tool.

Incoming Mail Server

Mail Server Type: IMAP

IMAP is an E-mail protocol that is used when people wish to always have their messages, including sent messages and message folders, saved on the server. Depending on program configuration, these messages may be temporarily saved on the computer for offline viewing. All messages and folders can be viewed from any computer connecting via IMAP, including Webmail. This option is most recommended for users who connect to E-mail accounts from many computers.

  • IMAP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
    Note: You may need to use the server/host name if using SSL. (e.g. just#.Justhost.com)
  • IMAP Username: (your full email address)
  • IMAP Password: (the password that you selected when your account was setup)
  • IMAP Port 143 (With SSL: 993)

Mail Server Type: POP3

POP3 is an E-mail protocol that is used when people wish to have a copy of their E-mail messages, along with any attachments, to be downloaded to their computer for viewing. Depending on program configuration, these messages may be automatically deleted from the server once it is received, or at some future time. Messages sent, moved, or deleted from a computer using POP can only be viewed on that individual computer’s folders. They cannot be viewed on other computers connecting to that E-mail account, including Webmail. This option is most recommended for users who like to keep a backup of all their messages.

  • POP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
  • POP Username: (your full email address)
  • POP Password: (the password that you selected when your account was setup)
  • POP Port 110 (With SSL: 995)

Outgoing Mail Server

Here are the settings that you’ll need to send email:

  • SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
    Note: You may need to use the server/host name if using SSL. (e.g. just#.Justhost.com)
  • SMTP Username: (your full email address)
  • SMTP Password: (the password that you selected when your account was setup)
  • SMTP Authentication: Enabled (Use same login as the incoming mail)
  • SMTP Port 26 (With SSL: 465)
