The Holy Week, Surge In Covid-19 and Converge ICT Fiber Install

We are experiencing above 40 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. It is now Holy Tuesday and just like in 2020 some traditions are being modified because of the pandemic. The government just announced a general community quarantine over Metro Manila, Bulacan, Laguna, Batangas and Rizal. The National Capital Region is experiencing 10,000 new cases which is projected to increase to 18,000 daily cases by the middle of April. A curfew has been imposed over the Capitol from 6 pm to 5 am. I hear the wail of the horn every late afternoon that signals the beginning of the curfew. 

My PLDT Home router/ modem is broken. I called their hotline 171 yesterday and the lady and I tried to troubleshoot the problem. In the end she diagnosed the problem as a defective SIM. She advised me to bring the device to their aftersales. It's the middle of a Covid-19 surge lady. It's Holy Week. I am not even sure if your office is open. In the meantime I have no wifi. 

I have my cellphone data. It's my last leaf. I PMed Converge ICT in their facebook page. Someone promised that their installers can come tomorrow, Wednesday, and install fiber, barring any problems in the premises. If Converge ICT delivers tomorrow, this has got to be a sign. Everyone I asked about their PLDT fibr service aren't happy. So I am going to be waiting for the Converge people.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
