As you may probably notice, this blog of mine haven’t been updated for weeks! I don’t want it to be stale for a month, so i thought doing this small quick post and announce my plan for this little technology/work blog…

So what’s the plan?

Well, it’s very obvious that there’s nothing much going on at work lately… (sshhh, don’t tell the boss).. So, I’m thinking of posting open-source articles… sort of like what everyone is doing on their own technology/computer/unix related blogs.

Right, that’s what I’ll do… Now, I only hope laziness wont struck me first.

If you’re a System Administrator, have you ever wonder what really is you’re market value? I mean, have you ever stop and think about your salary and comparing it with other people on other fields of work… or from your fellow Sysads?

I have.

Here’s a link to the Salary Report for professional who are working in the Philippines. Note that the figures shown there are taken from those who participated to the survey.

The specific ‘SysAd’ job description was nowhere to be found, so I took the next most probably job function.. Since my job title is a Systems Engineer, I took:

Engineers:

Although I can say which salary range my salary is, you can see that the digits are quite small given consideration to the present living condition here.

What a SysAd to do? He can either work triple hard, do overtime, ask a friend for a loan or he could take a payday loan from company that offers one or even a website such as Easy Online Payda.

They have a fast and simple form that will be beneficial for anyone who needs to have a loan instantly. The only requirements are you have to be at least 18 years of age, maintain a regular source of income, and have a direct deposit system set up with your local bank.

Thanks for these kinds of services! This is a great aid for hard working sysadminstrators!

done


*alias command is not recognize.. hence the full path of ‘glt’

What do most sysads do during they idle time? We could play tennis, badminton, soccer, basketball and other physical sports, but no! Some of us, though more that 12 hours in front of a computer terminal still prefers to play computer games, either PC games or mac games or both!

There’s this mini-SEO contest on Philippine blogsphere with an aim to dominate the first few pages of Google, Yahoo, MSN and other giant search engine for the keywords “Pinay Scandal” or “Pinay Sex Scandal“.

A group of Filipino came together to blog about pinay scandal but not to share any picture or video or even promote it, but to completely eliminate the SERP for that keywords.

Bad news for those who are actually scouring the internet for hot finds.
