TechTalk: Auza.Net OJT Program begins

Auza.Net has started its OJT program last April 11, 2011 with a total of 11 trainees. Among them, three are undergoing the sessions for free because of their above average performance in previously conducted skills tests. The trainee’s program director has started giving them tasks and exercises in order to improve their present skills, and Engr Jerome Auza has already conducted a few sessions to increase and develop their knowledge in Linux commands. This week, the trainees will move on to more complex discussions and will, at the same time continue practicing what they have learned for the past week, such as touch typing, speed typing and developing greater comprehension for the english language. When a student graduates from his chosen field, he may be equipped with all necessary theories as imparted by their schools, but there will always be that space in between graduation and employment. This space is a hallow resulting from the student’s inexperience in the actual world. Auza.Net’s objective is to fill this gap, using its improved training module, which should make the trainee more than ready to face the real world. Auza.Net conducts website training for AUDIO Bohol The Association of United Development Information Officers of Bohol (AUDIO-Bohol) has tapped Auza.Net for its training on website development. The activity took place last April 14, 2011 at the Governor’s Mansion.

The main speaker for the short training session was Engr. Jerome...

Gov orders fast tracking Of Cantakoy hydro devt

AMID looming power crisis and the possible power rationing in the Visayas Grid, local officials here are now jump-starting the Cantakoy Falls hydro-power development at the Wahig-Pamacsalan River into Bohol’s newest clean-energy source.   Speaking to the local media at the weekly Mansion news engagement, Bohol Governor Erico Aumentado divulged the possibility of the effect of the planned power rationing in the Visayas grid as an effect of the reduced power outputs due to critical water levels to run the country’s hydro-electric plants.   This as possible shutdown for 40 days of the country’s major hydro power plans loom, reports said.   He hinted that since the Visayas Grid shares a common power source, there is a possibility of making sure that important power requirements of major industrial and commercial centers would be prioritized. That scenario leaves some areas with decreased power, which may result to rotating brown-outs or power rationing.   The governor, who revealed his intention to meet Bohol power providers and the officials of the National Grid Corporation (formerly National Power Corporation), said he wants to be assessed of the local situation by the players themselves.   He also insists he has made it a policy to come up with consultations to come up with any decision.   The governor also revealed he has met Dennis Villareal and Sta. Clara Development Corporation, who has initially shown interest in developing hydro power in Cantakoy Falls.   At present, Bohol power requirement is largely coming from the upgraded 138 KV Leyte Bohol Power Interconnection Project.   That is also complemented by three Bohol based hydro-electric power plants, each...

Tech Talk: Auza.Net Releases PRCPassers.com Beta

Auza.Net has released another free online service called PRCPassers.com (http:// www.prcpassers.com), a fast search engine for names of board examinees who passed the PRC exams. It is still in its beta stage which means there are still improvements being done but the site is already usable by the general public. The service is unique compared to all other websites that publish lists of board exam passers because it is a real search engine where you simply type in the last, first or middle name or any combination of these and the results are shown immediately. The user is no longer required to click several links before finding the list of names which can take quite some time. PRCPassers.com keeps an index of the board exam passers allowing for a very fast search, while providing the user a link to the official results on the PRC website so the results can be verified. In contrast, the other websites that publish the board exam results simply copy the data and republish them. The search engine is a customized WordPress plugin that includes a very fast search algorithm developed specifically for this type of index. It also performs the indexing everytime a new list of board exam passers are published by the PRC. Even though the plugin performs complicated functions, the development period was relatively short, a total of 5 working days only. This is because the developer only had to develop the functions that are specific to the search engine. All other functions like authentication and database abstraction are already handled by WordPress (http://www.wordpress.org), a very popular content management system. Share...
