The Missing Book

Posted by MV as Technology

Ethics book Our professor in ethics wanted us to buy Ethics in Information Technology by George Reynolds as our reference book. It was not really required but most of our assignments, case studies and lessons are lifted directly from that book, if not all. I was very irritated when I couldn’t find the book from any National Bookstore, so I asked the customer service assistant to search the book from their central database. Guess what, the book is nowhere to be found in any National Bookstore branch. My friends and I searched the book in other bookstores in Metro Manila without luck.

I called The Thomson (Philippines) Corp., out of frustration, to ask about the availability of the book. They told me that the book has no reprints and no distributor has ordered bulk from them to issue this book as a textbook. Here’s the best part… the last distributor who ordered this book bought only 7 copies!!

My DSL Bandwidth for Today

Posted by MV as Insights

Look at the bandwidth test I’ve performed just now.

Globequest reports that I have 654.42880 kbps,
DSLreports shows that my DSL downloads up to 467 kbps while
PLDTplay tells me that my speed is just 454.9 kbps .

I’m glad that I am reaching this high bandwidth tonight. I hope that the network slow down has already been fixed. This is for 1995 plan.
