The dedicated server that Mavicus is renting in Houston, Texas will have a scheduled downtime on March 13, 2010 at 10PM CST (March 14 — 12PM in Manila). A new 250GB backup hard drive will be installed. The installation and testing will take about two hours to complete.
Norton Internet Security 2009 is incorrectly identifying JavaScript files that were minified or packed to make the file size smaller (or to obfuscate the code) as an attack to your computer. You’ll get a warning from Norton whenever you visit a website that has minified/packed JavaScript files. Prototype, jQuery, TinyMCE, these are examples of popular JavaScript files that are being incorrectly identified by NIS 2009 as a web attack.
Take a look at the screenshot below and you’ll see that even liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com as the source of the attacking computer. The risk name reported was “HTTP Acrobat PDF Suspicious File Download”. [click to continue…]

If you are one of those email account users that is having a problem sending emails with attachment try modifying your outgoing SMTP port from 25 to 587. Most ISP blocks traffic on port 25 unless you are using their services (or their server) to send email. Please note that port 25 will still work as long as your ISP is allowing it. Port 587 is an alternate port that was included in the new setup when all the hosting accounts managed by Mavicus I.T. Solutions were moved to Houston, Texas.

After months of being stuck with a “Under Construction” page, I finally had the time to rework this website. I decided to use WordPress as a CMS to manage the contents. From this point forward I’ll be posting my projects here. I’ll also write about the different technologies that I’m using on my projects. As a software developer I have been using Open Source technologies like Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) on my projects. I always believe that any business—big or small should concentrate their budget on the custom software solution itself instead of the background technology like the operating system and database engine.
