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!
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!

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
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
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
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?
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.

I am an accountant, a CPA. I'd been working for 10 years as a corporate rat when I decided to quit. I am now working at home as a consultant and full time blogger.
