Pandora is an excellent music service bar none. When they decided to limit the service to United States only, we died a little inside. Just when we’ve almost gotten over our grief, a simple guide intervened and showed how to access Pandora’s service outside US.

In the past we’ve been through a number of non-working guides, fortunately this isn’t one of them. As this guide is being typed, our dear old friend Pandora is playing for us

A friend of ours wanted to remove certain personal information from Google’s cache of a website she registered with. It was located at her profile page. We helped search the procedures for removing data from their cache. Took quite awhile to sort through the various instructions but we finally obtained the steps and she successfully got the personal information removed.

Here we share all that we have learnt through the process which requires only 2 simple steps.

Once in a blue moon, something comes up that you can’t resist trying. We caught wind of such an application. Particls or PARTiCLS (with an italicized i) is a desktop application that churns news alert gathered from all of the Internet. News catered to your interests will be served by a news ticker-ish bar on top of your desktop. This is every news junkie’s dream come true - 24/7 updated news every single second!

Today’s digest is dedicated to all those who have been hacked by ‘Jamaycka’ with lessons of basic web maintenance as well. Zhongg.com was defaced on 12th May by a ‘Jamaycka’ who left this message behind:

I would like you to know that I am Not from Jamaica.

There are some people feel jealous of me but I am not care

I’m HaCked your system

Many reports have surfaced since then about Jamaycka targeting Malaysian websites, a large number of them running Wordpress. Websites are probably still being defaced as you read this, the count of defaced websites by Jamaycka has surpassed 9000. Someone needs to put a stop to it. That person probably isn’t you or me. What we can do is try our best to get out of the way and keep our site up and running in the meantime.

This mini guide is divided into 3 parts
1) Cure - dedicated to restoring a website hacked by Jamaycka
2) Prevention - avoid future attacks
3) Backup - CPanel script to automate the backup routine
