A. This Method is using MSCONFIG

Valentines Day

Posted by Joey Villas on Jan 23, 2009 in Uncategorized

Valentine’s Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14.  It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine’s cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery, all in the name of St. Valentine.. It is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

According to legend, the holiday has its roots in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalis/Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually on February 15. As Christianity came to dominance in Europe, pagan holidays such as Lupercalia were frequently renamed for early Christian martyrs. In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius recast this pagan festival as a Christian feast day circa 496, declaring February 14 to be the feast day of the Roman martyr Saint Valentine, who lived in the 3rd century.

History of Inopacan Leyte

Posted by joeyvillas on Jan 12, 2009 in Inopacan Leyte

History of Inopacan

Inopacan is a tiny western coastal municipality occupying a mere 182 square kilometers of green rolling hills bordered by narrow coastal plains. From the sea, it looks like a little coconut-convered rural community with a backdrop of high blue-greenish mountains. Beyod these mountains are the boundaries of Mahaplag and portions of Sogod, Southern Leyte and Hilongos. To the north is the progressive town of Baybay and the south is the equally small and peaceful Hindang town. The rich Camotes Sea Bound the western part.

The Town has twenty barangays, eight of which, including the poblacion, are along the coast. One is an island barangay and the rest are in the interior part. Sixty-five percent of the people live along the coast.

It is believed that the early settlers of Inopacan came from Cebu and Bohol. The Present site has been its original location because it had never been subjected to attacks from the moros. This was because of a dragon-sized snake that once lived in a cape located at the western sea approach to the town. This huge reptile would reportedly attack boats that would pass by it, so it prevented moro “pangkos” from landing at the settlement.

After the snake was killed, the settlement continued to enjoy a life of peace and safety because there appeared another protector of the people, a legendary hero by the name of “Inong.” The hero was said to be a leader of a well-trained band of men who successfully defended the pueblo from depredating moros. Believed to have possessed supernatural powers, Inong was said to be able to jump from hill to hill or from moro boat to boat wreaking havoc on the invaders so much so that he was commonly believed to have some kind of wings. Wings in the dialect means “pako” so that one who possessed wings is called “pak-an.” Inong therefore was known far and wide as Inong Pak-an, the winged Inong - which has been transformed to its present Inopacan for easier pronunciation.

How to activate administrator account in Vista

Posted by Joey Villas on Jan 4, 2009 in Vista

Key decision - decide if you need a password for the administrator’s account that you are going to activate.  My point is that the local policy may insist on a complex password, thus you will not be able to activate the administrator with a blank password.  This technique also works on Windows Server 2008, however on that operating system it is more likely you will set /active:no.

  1. Logon to Vista using your usual account.
  2. Launch the cmd prompt - Make sure you select, ‘Run as administrator’
  3. Net user administrator p£ssw0rD
  4. Net user administrator /active:yes
  5. Switch User, or logoff
  6. Logon as Administrator  Password p£ssw0rD
    (Your password may be different!)
