Wifi-ed!

Thanks to Wifi (I just subscribed to Smart, yey!), watching funny You Tube Videos like this one is now a breeze! Double yey! :)

Blue Screen of Death

Can somebody explain this to me? Coz this is exactly what's happening to my notebook. (I thought it was just Blaster worm virus!)

And since I'm not exactly a "techie" expert, kindly tell me after the solution to this pesky prob. Thanks! :)

Suggest, Please!

Five days after I bought my notebook and frustrations are coming in. I mean, I do love my notebook and I appreciate the perks of having my own PC. For one, I won't have to go to the office or rent in computer shops for me to be able to write whatever's required for work. I come from a 3rd world hometown and believe me, owning a notebook is luxury. However, the Internet connection is a different matter. Dial-up is painstakingly slooow! What more, I'm ending up spending more than what I usually spend in cyber cafes. Our boarding house only has PLDT Teletipid phone so aside from paying for my PLDT Vibe card, I also pay for the prepaid phone card. The value of a P300 card only lasts for more than 3 hours. Argh!

Right now, I'm thinking of options to alleviate my "geeky" problem and I need your help fellow geeks!:) If you were I, what should I do? You have to realize that my job is unstable - meaning, this month I could be rich, the next day I could be penniless. (If you're a regular reader of my blog, you know what I mean.). Also, I just live in a temporary abode and while I have no plans of transferring to another house (or to another Philippine island, heh!) in the near future, I think this factor should still be considered. HELPPP! :)

Can I just say I really hate myself when I'm being trivial with my concerns like what I'm currently whining about? There's poverty around you Teddy, ugh! Okay, this is O.T. :)

ETA: I just realized the cheapest solution to this petty problem is just to have a regular phone line connected to the boarding house. Nuff said. :)

Techie Virgin

Guys, I finally have my own notebook! :) The end product of all the blood, sweat and tears from soap opera writing! I am a happy person right now. :) This is my first PC actually. I originally planned to buy the desktop (?) kind but I realized it wouldn't be convenient for a nomad like me. I mean, I don't have a permanent abode in the metro and at the same time, my job, well, my previous jobs require me to move around. A notebook is the only way to go.

Of course, being a techie-illiterate, I had to constantly annoy my friends Michiko, Paul and Dude asking for their recommendatons and tips in buying a notebook. Thank you guys! My notebook is not the high-end type but I focused more on the specs as they suggested. Plus it has a built in mic/webcam and WIFI (alright!) so it's more than okay. My only problem is that I have no idea how to use most of the computer programs. Would you believe it took me two days to figure out how to connect my notebook to the telephone line? And I still have to learn how to download music files from the net, use the Adobe stuff, and many more! Argh, I can't wait to learn them! Easy, Teddy, easy! :)

Okay, I'm blank now (didn't get enough sleep last night trying to decipher the computer manual) so I'll just leave you with this pic of me and my "baby". Eeew! :D
