myListBoard.com features a profile page where a user may enter some details like full name, url, description of self, and a photo. I haven’t tested the photo upload feature since it’s deployment last June 10, 2009 so I did not notice the problem.
Bong, who was interested to do some beta-testing of the site pointed out that his uploaded photo did not show on his profile page. After two months, I finally had the time to fix this problem.

Today I decided to do some maintenance tasks on this site which is a WordPress blog hosted on
Webfaction.com.
Here are the steps how to change the MySQL database password of WordPress in Webfaction.com:
- Login to your Webfaction control panel.
- Goto Databases->Change database password.
- Select the MySQL database from the database list.
- Type in the new MySQL database password
- Click the Change button
However, you also need to tell WordPress to use the new MySQL database password or you will get this nasty error when you try to access your WordPress site:
“Error establishing a database connection”

I have been using Smart Bro since 2006, when they were still using SendFar (old Wi-Fi antenna). But when I came home to Midsayap from Davao after a 5-month leave last May, I had my old Smart Bro account disconnected by June 2009 to cut costs.
It took me 2 months to realize that I can’t live an offline life at home anymore. Also, my wife needed to use the Internet at home to look for nursing jobs and agencies because she wants to go abroad. We finally decided to sign-up for another Internet connection.

We have been using open-source software for our servers at
NDMC for the past months. Being an educational institution on a tight budget, we cannot afford to buy licenses for commercial software so we choose to use open-source and free software, specifically GNU/Linux variants.
We were using Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support (LTS), which means it will be supported for the next five years (until 2013).
Then Bong, who has been experimenting with different variants of open-source server software suggested the following line-up:
- pfSense – powerful Firewall, based on FreeBSD
- Untangle – open source network gateway, web filter
- eBox-Platform – domain controller, file server, print server, proxy server, mail server, and a lot more, based on Ubuntu 8.04
- FreeNAS – file server, NAS server, based on FreeBSD
I added Proxmox Virtual Environment – an open-source virtualization platform to the list. This allows us to create one or more Virtual Private Servers using just one computer. This is our alternative to VMWare’s ESX.
The considerations for the above servers is also timely for our scheduled upgrade from 1.5Mbps to a 4Mbps Internet connection sometime next month.
