What is wrong with Hotmail?

Posted on June 17, 2006
Filed Under Internet | 2 Comments

Awhile ago I signed in to my Hotmail account which I’ve been using since high school and then this page surprised me.

Yeah! Congratulate me because they reserved a hotmail account for me. WTF! First of all, I’ve been using this account for about four or five years and then they’ll say that they’ve reserved it just for me! Secondly, I didn’t even ask you to reserve it for me! Argh
And Lastly, I’m still using my hotmail account for my MSN Messenger, so why the heck they would deactivate it?

So there, my account was deactivated because of not signing in for at least 30 days. The good thing is that they’ve “Reserved that account for me”, which is really funny, and the bad thing is that all of my emails and cheesy love notes from whoever was gone. Disappeared. Removed.

I so hate Hotmail!

They should’ve deactivated my account but not to the point that they would delete every single message in my account. They didn’t even send me a notice.

If given the chance to change it, I’ll do something like this: click here to see the picture.

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.
