Weather:
We've been experiencing rain the past week despite it being the Summer Season in the Philippines. Weird phenomenon, however, this should be treated with concern by everyone... On the other hand, this is somehow a welcome respite from the almost unbearable heat we've been having just before the rains came. I'm actually expecting our electric bill at home to shoot up because we had the a/c unit on during hottest times of the day and the whole evening! Well...


Technology:
I'm now using a Lenovo X61T Tablet laptop:




It's pretty good and with my increasing Vista competence, I'm very happy with it! Also, the battery lasts longer and doesn't have the heat that Macs are known for. What's funny is that I always thought Macs were better than any of the new generation laptops. But the X61T proved me wrong. I find handling of the Vista in the X61T at par, if not better, than my Mac experience. I think the only advantage Macs have over PCs is the much vaunted security of Macs. But I read recently in one article that there's a new anti virus program designed for Macs... weird!

I also like the tablet and am currently learning how to use it properly:



WiFi Router Security:

I also installed a new WiFi router at home. During the first week, the router was unsecured and my neighbor would get free Internet access, which was fine with me. But, since he could also get into the control panel of the router, he manipulated it I on several occassions actually blocked me. Which pissed me off. I was planning to go back to the shop from where I bought the router to have a password installed. But, thanks God for Twitter, one of the people I follow twitted a link to her blog Compfixer.net which was giving tips on WiFi router security. I followed the instructions in the blog and presto, my router is now secured... YEY!

Lemme see now, how do I start updating you blog... many interesting things happened since my last post in November.

Well, decided to come up with 8 events that happned to me, and in no particular order:

1) Got a new responsibility at work- Strategic Imperative Team Head. The team's supposed to generate revenuer from Long Distance Service;
2) Using a new laptop- Lenovo X61T (Tablet) and getting used to Vista OS;
3) Caught the Facebook, Twit and Plurk bug, in that order. Later, my officemate, Rox, introduced me to TweetDeck, so I got hooked even further!
4) Though Social Networking is real time and gets more audience for one's creativity, blogging is still better since one has the luxury of writing longer stuff and it can be for personal consumption if one wants it to be;
5) I had lunch with 3 girls today... and two other gals joined us for coffee later! hmmm, I should do it more often! LOL!
6) Installed a wifi router at home and I'm happy about it!
7) I'm eating less rice in the evenings;
8) I have to be more serious with Photography...

That's all for now! :-D
