Cory Aquino dies.
Cory Aquino dies – INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos.
Cory Aquino is dead 
. Our first woman president died of cardio respiratory arrest.
Let’s cherish what she stood for. Let us take care what she fought for. The Housewife is no longer with us, Let’s celebrate her life by remembering what she left us.
RIP Tita Cory. May you now be united with the husband that left you prematurely.

VICIDIAL Tips and Tricks: Some security hardening of VICIDIAL server.
Another point to consider. What to do if somebody wanted to gain access to your vicidial web admin? Well good thing about VICIDIAL Open Source Call Center Suite is that its almost documented. Matt is kinda a stickler for docs which I liked. Anyhow here’s what contain on the Base Install doc.
You may want to reduce the exposure of some of the elements of VICIDIAL. Here are some examples:
ln -s /dev/null /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/vicidial/project_auth_entries.txt
ln -s /dev/null /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/agc/vicidial_auth_entries.txt
ln -s /dev/null /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/agc/astguiclient_auth_entries.txt
ln -s /dev/null /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/vicidial/admin_changes_log.txt
- Change the WWW writable in the admin.php server settings to “0″
- Change the default admin user “6666″ or it’s password from the default
- Change the Default secret(password) for the default SIP and IAX accounts that are set up with astGUIclient
- Change the default password for the Asterisk manager connection in manager.conf then change it in the server modification screen
- Change the default password for the mysql cron user in mysql and change it to match in /etc/astguiclient.conf on each server
- Possibly use static IP addresses for the IAX/SIP conf account entries
- Change the default port for Apache in httpd.conf from 80 to something else
- Change the default port for IAX in iax.conf from 4569 to something else
- Change the default control port for SIP in sip.conf from 5060 to something else
- Use a firewall to route access using different port numbers or restricting connection by VPN or set IP addresses
for those people using vicidialNOW, the iptables entries are there. But you can also follow what was instructed above.
Easy isnt it? If you dont want to do it yourself, I am available as a consultant 
(gotta pay the bills!)
“Proof That a Man Can Be His Own Grandfather” | Futility Closet
I was bored and looking at reddit and I found this.
“Proof That a Man Can Be His Own Grandfather” | Futility Closet.
From The World of Wonders, 1883:
“There was a widow [Anne] and her daughter [Jane], and a man [George] and his son [Henry]. The widow married the son, and the daughter married the father. The widow was therefore mother [in law] to her husband’s father, and grandmother to her own husband. By this husband she had a son [David], to whom she was also great-grandmother. Now, the son of a great-grandmother must be grandfather or grand-uncle to the person to whom his mother was great-grandmother; but Anne was great-grandmother to him [David]. Therefore David is his own grandfather.”
Hood’s Magazine (1846) adds, “This was the case with a boy at a school at Norwich.”
I don’t really get it. I lost it while following david thru the maze lol.
Using Paypal with Metrobank
I’ve been using my metrobank savings account with paypal for almost 4 months now and its all good.
I opened up my metrobank account because I was to lazy cashing in checks from my client every month and I have to endure the long lines and lack of sleep. So anyway I found out that they have online tool too! I was like OMG!!!! give me one! so I opened up with just 2,000 pesos and after waiting some time its all good.
Ok, in order for you guys to successfully integrate your Metrobank account to paypal here’s what you need to do.
1) You have to have a metrobank direct access. This is what metrobank call its online access.
Once you have that, enroll your account and you can now pay your bills online, check your balance (or lack thereof) and apply for what ever loans you might have.
2) Open a paypal account.
Once you have your paypal account add your Account number.
Then paypal will ask you for the bank code and the bank code is 010269996 and select METROPOLITAN BANK & TRUST CO
When you withdraw your money, always do it by thursday so that you can have your funds on Monday
Expect 4 business days to have paypal process your money and deposit on your account. If you see your withdrawal request to be completed and its not yet deposited on your account. Fret not as either tomorrow or the next day it will be on your account at around 10 pm.
I just love Metrobank at the moment. I love BPI Family bank too for issuing me a checking account for only 5000 pesos! Now let me try issuing checks non chalantly. ahihihi.
What is a Predictive dialer?
A lot of people doesn’t have any clue about predictive dialer. VICIDIAL is now a predictive dialer too. It has algorithms to do just that.
I took a liberty of lifting the wikipedia article on Predictive dialer.
Here’s The full article.

A predictive dialer is a computerized system that automatically dials batches of telephone numbers for connection to agents assigned to sales or other campaigns. Predictive dialers are widely used in call centers.
VICIDIAL Tips and Tricks: mySQL repair and optimize
You probably have a lot of logs and uploaded a lot of leads when using VICIDIAL. Then all of a sudden your you had a power outage or VICIDIAL is suddenly acting strange. Or you got your database corrupted. What to do?
It’s easy!
We repair and optimize the VICIDIAL mysql database! Here’s how.
mysqlcheck -u root -p --auto-repair --check --optimize --all-databases
Now it will ask you for a password, if you are using vicidialNOW the default root password is vicidialnow. If you are using vicibox, the password is the one you have set. For everything else, you are on your own.
