A4tech X-Slim Keyboard

For those people who are used to the keyboard of a laptop/netbook, this is the desktop keyboard for you. A4tech X-Slim Keyboard. I saw this locally at Octagon in SM City North Edsa Cyberzone. It retails for 550 pesos. I also saw this online at Yahoo! Shopping for $11.99 only.

If you are looking for a desktop keyboard similar to that of a netbook or laptop, there is one you can buy. No, this is not a paid post. I just thought of sharing this information with all of you :)

Reminder: Back up!

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

I did something stupid a few minutes ago. I’ve been using Firefox 2 for some time now. I am satisfied with it and had no plans of upgrading to Firefox 3. But then this message from Mozilla kept popping up from time to time asking me if I want to upgrade to 3 already. I thought, why not? Better get the latest version now.

So I did. But I forgot to back up my bookmarks! :(

After upgrading, I saw that my bookmarks list reverted back to the old one. I lost the newest I organized a few days ago. Sigh.

Let me remind you if you are going to do any upgrades or whatnots with your pc… Back up!

Happy weekend everyone!

Cheap PC Protection

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Note: This is not a paid post.

You might have read about my horrible experience with an anti-virus software that was not updated. I lost all my files, 3GB, not much, but all important to me. My files got corrupted because the hard drive of my laptop got corrupted with some really terrible virus. Good thing my cousin was able to reformat my laptop and everything’s working fine now. Though my files were never recovered.

So let me tell you about this promo from McAfee, one of the leading anti-virus software brands. You can Save $30 instantly on McAfee Total Protection and Internet Security! Get this: Through Novermber 17, 2008, they are offering McAfee Total Protection 2009 for only $49.99 (reg. $79.99) or a McAfee Internet Security 2009 for only $39.99 (reg. $69.99)!

So if you don’t have an anti-virus in your pc right now, I suggest you go NOW and purchase one. Buy at McAfee and save some hard earned money in the process. I am using one now :)

New CPU

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

I really need to buy memory for my desktop. Actually, I need to replace the whole CPU already. I asked my cousin to accompany me by Saturday. My sisters and my brother often ask me if they can use my laptop but I only go offline when I am done with my posts and my card dropping. And that’s around 2am. So instead of driving them to the nearest internet cafe, I am just replacing the old CPU of our desktop.

Always charged

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Ever since I started working at home, I have to adapt to certain changes in my lifestyle. When before I do not like texting and mobile calls that much (well, I still do not like it that much now), I have to make use of my cell phone to get in touch with existing clients and potential ones. I go out of the house a couple of times a week to run errands or to pay bills or just to go out and see what’s new outside the house. And when I am out, I use my cell phone to stay connected with my clients.

But since I use my cell phone a lot when I am outside the house, I make sure that my cell phone battery is always charged. Cell Phone Chargers are a must to me. I carry one always and I have another two at home. I am a bit of a paranoid when it comes to my cell phone. I don’t want to find my battery drained. Business is business for me. There are times when I would feel like I should have gotten a phone call from someone but because I was not able to charge my cell phone battery, I did not receive that call.

Now, if you want to be always on the go, with your cell phone batteries fully charged, get a cell phone charger at Cellular-Blowout.com now.

Affordable printer ink

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Having four siblings at home using the same desktop computer and printing so many pages of files daily mean costly printer inks for us. Printer Ink at Pacific Ink means up to 70% discount than your printer manufacturer charges. And this is exactly what I am looking for. We may be sharing expenses at home, but anything that can save us a few bucks is very much welcome to us. Computer equipment and accessories are something that we try to save on.

At Pacific Ink, you can choose from over 200 brands of printer ink cartridges. These are high quality ink that you can buy for discounted prices. This value combined with an easy ordering process, direct to door delivery, and no hassle return policy has made Pacific Ink one of the internet’s fastest growing ink cartridge providers. I suggest you avail of their superb product as well. You just never know when you would be needing those few bucks that you saved from buying less costly products. Personally, I use the change in buying other things that we need at home.

So if you want to save on your printer inks, better check out PacificInk.com right away. Avail of their high quality yet cheaper-priced printer ink cartridges now.

Upgrading desktop?

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Our desktop is malfunctioning already. It’s been with us for more than three years now so I guess it has served its purpose. I am thinking of upgrading it but my cousin told me that it would be less costly if I just buy a new one than have the old one upgraded. I think I will just buy a new laptop so that there will be less cables running around the back of the desk plus it will be more convenient for us. I already have one that I was able to buy at a great price locally. I will just have to buy another one like the laptop I have right now for my siblings.

All grown up

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Seeing your little brother all grown up, going to college, walking with his girlfriend, can drive you to tears. Tears of joy, of course. My brother is all grown up now. He’s already in college, taking up Information Technology. When I first saw him wearing his school uniform, I was choked up with emotions. I know that a few years from now, he will be living on his own, taking care of his own family. For now, I will just enjoy being the elder sister to her, running errands like checking out the ram for the computer, buying school supplies…

On demand information

Friday, July 4th, 2008

This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.

Are you a doctor? Perhaps you know one? If you are or you do know a doctor, I believe you should tell the doctor about this medical software for the PDA. Most doctors that I encountered have a PDA with them. In lieu of the medical books that they can’t bring with them everywhere, their PDAs can still give them the medical information they need via the Epocrates. This medical software can give doctors access to information in an instant, most especially when it comes to prescriptions. It is actually a drug reference guide that when you purchase comes with the following:

  • Free medical Pocket PC software
  • Free medical Palm software
  • Free medical Windows Mobile software

If you are interested, go to www.Epocrates.com for more information.

Replacing the old monitor

Monday, June 16th, 2008

We now have a laptop and a desktop here at home. The laptop is naturally for me while the desktop is being shared by my siblings. I just bought a big desk where we can put both gadgets and so that two persons can work side by side always. But I need to replace the old CRT monitor with an lcd monitor to make the desk more spacious. The old monitor is eating up a lot of desk space and it just feels crowded with it on top of it. I will sell it or trade it in because it is still new, about a month old. The keyboard will also have to go, to be replaced by this cute jelly-like keyboard that I found at the mall the other week.

Mobile numbers

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Notice how most establishments and businesses get their own memorable mobile numbers? For example, a local television network has 2366 for their text messaging numbers. A radio station has ****931 as the telephone number they give out to callers. They also have a mobile number with the same last 3 digits for those texters and cellphone subscribers. 93.1 is their radio frequency, that’s why. There is also 8-7000 for a fast food delivery service. And so much more. Why are they using a premium memorable number? Precisely because of that, they want it to be catchy and easy to memorize!
