Tropical Storm Falcon

June 24 - 25. Friday and Saturday. The weather brought by the tropical storm Falcon poured water heavily in the University of the Philippines. What happened then is that classes were canceled on those days. Which means no Physics (and the recit quiz), no EEE 21, no EEE 34 which is not good as to what our professor said, and no EEE 13 which means we haven't started doing the Machine Exercise 1. Our professor in EEE 33 also scheduled an advance meeting on Saturday, but unfortunately the rain roared with great intensity. I don't really know whether the meeting happened or not, but more likely it didn't.

The weather brought a satisfying cold temperature suitable for hibernation. Yes, hibernation. I slept long with my blanket wrapped around me. No electric fan needed.

Farewell

There's probably several things that happened in EcoSelf. No they are not good news. Well most of them are.

I'm Back! (Update: SmartBro Trick Boost)

Hey guys I'm back! Sorry to keep you waiting for more of my blog posts. I've just finished with all my projects for this semester and right now I am in my mother's hometown which is eight hours of bus travel from Manila. That was very tiring because I felt like being an insomniac. I couldn't get much sleep with the bus especially because the bus was bouncing up and down and to the left and to the right. After I and my mom arrived we had a really long sleep which was really 3 sleeps combined as one. Now that I'm fully awake I began testing the SmartBro if HSDPA(High Speed Data Packet Access) exist. Fortunately there was but signal strength is two bars.

Here is my Internet Speed:

Fair Enough! :D

Computer Tricks: SmartBro Prepaid, Globe Tattoo, Sun Broadband Plug-It Fix

I've been living in a dormitory inside UP Diliman, and as what I've said in the previous post, my internet speed in SmartBro is really slow. Now that Dilnet is available inside Kalayaan Residence Hall's corridors (that's the name of the dorm), internet should be easier but it isn't.

Here are the reasons why:

Computer Trick: Share Internet Connection from Any Modem (Huawei, ZTE) to LAN / Wireless LAN through ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)

SmartBro Plug-It

In our dormitory in UP Diliman there hasn't been an internet connection accessible near our rooms Update Jan. 28, 2011: Dilnet is now available at almost every room, just find the nearest router to your room. People here  have two ways to connect to the internet: Go downstairs to the lobby and use wi-fi to connect through Dilnet or get a prepaid modem. I myself connect to the internet through a SmartBro plug-it (Modem: ZTE MF627). SmartBro is oftentimes slow especially in the late morning or in the afternoon. Luckily this internet speed test I took went faster than usual.

Internet Connection Problem

I live in a dorm inside UP, and internet is definitely a big problem to me. I already suffered from Dilnet, UP's Internet Service Provider because not only do I not browse the Internet freely, but also do I not connect to it. You see, in order to connect to Dilnet, you must also connect to their dorm proxy which I think allows a few users to connect. I'm not quite sure about this, but Dilnet did give me that kind of problem. Frustrated, I use a SmartBro USB Modem.
