WIFI experience

Last Saturday, I brought my laptop at school because I thought we’re going to use it for our thesis but Instead we used it for free internet surfing.

CJ asked me if we are able to connect to the internet but during that time I really don’t know that there is a connection in that area. Alvin told me that he couldn’t connect and I asked him if he turned on the wifi but he said he didn’t know where. Anyway, I hurriedly went to the west lab on the 1st floor of mapua building and instantly turn on the wifi. Toshiba has this application called configfree which is really nice and easy to use for searching wireless device. I open it and started searching for wireless device and boom! There are actually 4 wireless devices available. Two Linksys, one coligo and the other is Mapua wifi.

Mapua wifi requires us to have an account for us to be able to connect while LinkSys is an open device and can easily connect through it. Connection is stable and fast. We can even connect to yahoo messenger and all. We really had fun using the free internet.

After that, I went to glorietta to meet up with my friends, Patrick and Masa. We thought of using the laptop and started to find a place where we could stay. Ayala center has a wide range of wireless hotspots. We went to starbucks located glorietta 2 and setup the notebook. GlobeQuest appeared at the configfree application and boom we’re connected. But the only thing that we need is an account. We were not able to use it, its fun though.

Anyway, I might as well try using my laptop at petron mega plaza. Maybe they have a wireless connection there.

Are you looking for cheap laptops?

People eServe in cooperation with Intel Philippines is launching a new brand of laptops as an alternative to branded units but at more affordable prices.

Aptly named “Vertex” because it is positioned to be the convergence of cutting edge technology and affordability, its Centrino laptops (see list below) are conveniently priced at P 49,990 and P 55,990.00 respectively VAT inclusive (please note, no O/S only PC DOS). An option for the O/S may be purchased separately.

Take note, those are Centrino laptops. I don’t know yet when it is going to be available but you can contact them through this:

People eServe Corporation
G/F Mapua IT Center
333 Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. Makati City
Telefax: 891-0742 / 0918 990 0597

Contacts:
Dan Francisco
Gilbert Suratos
Paul Magsino

This will be very interesting and let us see what will happen next. Maybe almost all students of Mapua, or every student in the Philippines, will have to carry this kind of laptop. What do you think?

School started to be complicated last year as I entered my third and hopefully last term of my college days, I mean for the mean time. I do have plans for taking up Masters degree but my goal for now is to finish this course that I’m taking now.

I’ve posted an entry before ranting about how difficult it is for a Computer Science student of not having his/her own laptop. And it’s on the top of my wish list last year. So, what now?

I bought a new MP3 player at a very cheap price at P4990, not bad eh? 256MB of memory, I can store 50 songs of (wav 128kbits) and still have 60mb left. Still not bad! It’s very stylish and small, you can wear it like a necklace or strap it in your arm. Really lovely. haha. You can also listen to your favorite radio station throught its integrated built-in FM radio.

Transfering of files has never been this easy, even your mom or your granny can do it haha!.. Seriously, just plug it in your USB port just like your other flash disk. By the way, you can fully charge its Lithium Polymer battery by also plugging it in your usb port.
