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.

Career Transition

Last saturday we had a seminar about career transition. Graduating students were required to attendant the seminar because it could help us before and after we graduate.

First part of the seminar talks about how to write your resume. Well, I guess they should’ve held this last term so students will be prepared. Yes! Mapua has a standard resume and every student should follow the correct format. The reason? I really don’t know, maybe to give an identity or whatever.

And then Azeus gave an overview of their company and why we should consider them in finding our career. Azeuz is specializing in software development and most of their clients are from hongkong. Anyways, I think every student were encouraged to sign up for the exam next week. They are looking for the best software developers and software test engineers. Well, I signed up for the software test engineer and not software developer, lets just say that I’m playing safe. hehe Someone told me that the exam is really hard and that once you’re hired, you’ll miss sleeping. That’s life.

Lastly, we had an overview for our mock interview next week. Yeah, we need to practise for interviews so that when we apply for a job we are ready and we know how to answer questions in a professional way.

Oh yeah, I lost the paper that the speaker signed.

Cheap Laptops?

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?
