Globelines Broadband SMTP and Static IP

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

I had my Globe Broadband connection today. We are located somewhere in San Pedro, Laguna. I’ve been a Globe Broadband user for the past year at Pasig and I had no problems regarding my email server. Now that I have the same package here I suddenly Cannot send email using Outlook Express with my domains. I called the usual tech support to seek “Technical Support”. I spoke to an agent and I explained what just happened only to find out that if I want to use my own email server, incoming and outgoing I have to avail of the Static IP which cost around PHP 770/month. I also told the agent that I am already a user of Globelines + broadband and I had no problem with my email settings with them before. The setting is always the usual pop3: mail.domain.com SMTP: mail.domain.com which is used by most of my providers smart, zpdee and others. The stupid agent was telling me to avail of the static IP because the admin annouced that due to heavy spam that they are recieving and in order to serve the globe subcribers better, They have to pass the burden to the user by availing of the Static IP.

America Decides: Obama Wins

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

After 2 years of campaigning for U.S. Presidency it’s finally over. History unfolds as the first African American President is elected.

McCain called Pres. Obama and conceded. Mr. McCain also ended his own quest for the White House that lasted 10 years.

Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths of office as president and vice president on Jan. 20, 2009.

As the 44th president, Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession, and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan.

Goodluck Pres. Obama! May you guide/support the rest of the minorities in the U.S.

I hope that the 2010 Philippine Presidential elections would come close to how the US counted the votes of the American People. They literally counted the votes in less than a day and thats almost all 50 states of the US if McCain did not concede they might have counted them all.
