It is quite interesting to learn how to block spamming on your blog. With the superb outburst of technology, it is absolutely possible to spam all over the net. Being a blogger I went through some ways which can to some extent stop these spammers from taking advantage of the blog so easily. Frankly, I need to save my blog here. Just read carefully:

Have you noticed random comments made to your posts? The comments are of little or no relevance at all. Now as your site accepts and displays hyperlinks it becomes an easy prey for these spamdexing experts. If a spammer is trying to promote his site, it becomes easier for him to paste a link in your site and hence get the traffic directed to his. It was in 2003 that spamming took its first step taking advantage of the openness of the commenting feature present in software like “Movable Type”. As technology advanced these spammers took up fresh ways of spamming by adding Trackback Submitter as a tool to their misdeeds. If they can take advantage of technology why should we lag behind in protecting ourselves? Read the rest of this entry »

Now here is great story for you all to read. Are you aware of the stupendous theft that has occurred at the Obelisk federal Credit Union located in Albany? No? Then here are some astonishing details of the same.

For almost four years Patricia Helen Sherman had been piling bills of $100 while walking out of her office where she held the position of the Head Teller. Over these years $7 million has been procured form the credit union and spent in gambling at the Ohio River casinos. She is now facing lifetime imprisonment.

The overtly shocking fact is that the feedback received from people and colleagues known to her were all positive. She was a very nice person and perfectly professional it seems.

It was only recently that the theft was recognized, that too after a confession made by the thief herself. Obelisk incurred a loss of $5 million that they had to write off as expense. Nothing much could be recovered from her because the money had been spent over the years. As a head teller she used to order and refill the vaults. She was in charge of the vault activities. This made it easy to hide the wrong doings from the supervisory committee. She submitted altered ledger balances to keep up with the supervision.

Such a grand crime committed by an insider, happened under our nose of the authority and all we found out from people was that the lady was very nice and professional. Employing deceitful people can incur such amount of loss; this is a lesson to learn from.

Its New Year time and we’re all busy with the celebrations and the excitement.

There are parties, crackers, lights, sounds and what not!

Well, while we enjoy the advent of a new year, let’s make a promise to do good to all and make our parents proud of ourselves.

I’m sure you’ve all made some resolutions and hope you do your best to stick to it.

Good luck to all our readers and blogger friends.

On the 25 ^th of December the purest of souls was born to Mother Mary. It is Him who we celebrate every year on this auspicious day.

Once in a year do we come across this festive season and we pray to God for the betterment of our future. For weeks we take the pain to nurture the tree to get that perfect look on this propitious occasion. We decorate our home, buy gifts for all, plan for an outing somewhere. So many things together without exhaustion can only be possible due to our love for the Almighty.

On this day of revelry here is wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY. Hope you all enjoy the last week  of the year in joyous merriment. Pray to God for a wonderful future ahead and for a world that would understand the meaning of this celebration.
