Gas Price in California will be up Nov. 1

10月

31日

Gas prices in California are to spike 12 cents per gallon across the state starting Novemeber 1.

The gas tax was included in a bill, SB1, approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown last April. Also included are extra vehicle license fees starting Jan. 1.

California is screwed. Other thanthe weather, the state government is completely out of control. Not much gets done and they are so slow. Not a corporate friendly state. Now, it is not people friendly.

Sign of SPAM

10月

19日

Here are some signs of SPAM and Phishing Email.

(1) It was sent from email using Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail and other free email service. That is a good sign that the company do not want you to know who you are.

(2) Email is not sent to you but in this case "undisclosed-recipients". That means, it was sent to the list of emails placed in the BCC address box.

(3) Any unsolicited email without "Unsubscribe" is illegal. If you receive email from someone you do not now but email has no "Unsubscribe" , just trust it.

(4) There is no sender's ID on this email. Other than his name ... there is no mention of the company name, address or website or telephone number.

Actually, this is one of the very bad example of SPAM.

Seattle Executives Association Ask-a-Pro

12日

PSPinc and Atomic Info. Tech did Ask-a-Pro about Cyber Security today at Seattle Executives Association. There are many great information shared at the meeting and all are valid.

We talked about preventing the problem from happening, but I think you really think you should think about what to do when problem happens. Remember no matter what you do, if you can access it, someone else will. If the paces like Pentagon can be hacked, you have very little change your company's data is secure.

So make sure you have several backups (offline backup and lock it up) which you cannot yourself cannot access unless you are physically at the office. That is a good start. Also, you need to make sure you protect yogurt customers' data at all cost.

Ask professional about how to secure data.

This is a phishing mail.
Yes, it looks good but it is a fake email and fake site.

How do you know if it is a phishing mail.

(1) Check the email address of the sender. In the case, it should be sent from UGG.com

(2) Check to see if you click on the link, it goes to UGG.com

(3) If it is a sales site, make sure it is secure website.

(4) Does it take PayPal?

If you check all those ... check and see if it take PayPal. PayPal adds additional security.

Phishing is typically carried out by email spoofing or instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter personal information at a fake website, the look and feel of which are identical to the legitimate one and the only difference is the URL of the website in concern.

When you advertise, there is no guarantee that the advertisement will bring in any sales. It is same for consultants. However, if you do enough advertisements, you will soon lean which methods will work or not.

High Sierra Upgrade

Mac Photo stopped working with the new photos I took with iPhone (with news iOS). I needed to upgrade the Mac OS to make sure Photos keep working. Now my Mac is running Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra with new version of Photos.

I am seriously thinking about upgrading the hard disking in my Mac Mini to SSDs. The software is starting to run slow even with Core i7 2.3Ghz processor with 16GB RAM. I really think SSD will make a huge difference. But to replace my 2 1TB drive, 2 SSDs will run over $700. I think I need to wait a little or buy two fusion drives.
