Project Laptop: COMPLETED!

my dad gave me my laptop back in november 2007.  it got broken sometime before september 2008.  i was able to get it back, working but with a faulty battery, june 2009.  and having a faulty battery meant that it only works for about 5 minutes without being plugged to an outlet.  so, it's not really as portable as a laptop should be. 

so the first task is to buy a working battery for my laptop.  and it was really hard looking for it in coputer stores in malls.  we tried greenhills but it would take 2 weeks to 2 months, since it needs to be ordered.  dell's service centers are of no help.  the numbers i have tried calling kept on transferring me to a department where no one answers.  other authorized dell dealers have the simillar wait time. 

we fould one store or booth in SM North Edsa who repairs laptops and we could order the battery, the wait time is about 3 days.  i held back.  i forgot why but most probably it's because of how much it is.

we weren't able to reach gilmore.  we were so tired already going from mall to mall and asking from shops to shops.

i then, asked my cousin, since he owns a buy and sell site (pinoybuynsell.com), he may know someone selling laptop batteries.  eBay doesn't have any available for my laptop brand and model (dell lattitude d620).  he recommended that i check TipidPC.com and there i fould someone selling laptop batteries and specifically having my brand and model on the list!  it's for Php 4,000.00 and they have a store at St. Francis Square!  the store is named HotToyz and they carry a lot of replacement laptop batteries.  and it's a good thing they have one for me readily available!  thus, no more hassle of waiting for days, weeks and months!  after buying the battery, we went to the mall (of course), and i tried it out.  viola!  my laptop is now portable!

after settling the biggest issue, i considered Project Laptop to be 50% complete.  the next steps would be to get a laptop bag that doesn't look like a laptop and a prepaid broadband internet service provider.  and i'm all set.

while we were searching for a battery, we were also looking at the malls for a good looking laptop bag.  and whenever i find something to my taste, i would look at the price tag and it would range from Php 3,000 - 5,000!  and no, i don't think i have the heart nor the wallet to be able to buy a bag of such extravagance.  so, tin, the one who is more addicted to eBay than i am, was searching for a bag for me.  then, she found this seller that points to a Multiply site where the gallery of laptop bags are.  and the price showing on eBay is just Php 1,000.  so, i went to check out BrattyBonita.  and their laptop bag designs are very much to my liking!  they really don't look like a laptop bag at all.  i asked tae to pick up a design for me.  she said, that there are too many bags and she's too lazy to look for the laptop bags.  to her surprise, i told her, "all the bags there are laptop bags!"  so, she searched the site and recommended a number of laptop bags for me.  she picked out 5 designs.  they were on sale last august so, i was able to get some discount on a bag.  thinking about how much bags these good costs in malls, i bought two!  one that's sort of sporty and one that's a bit formal.  and but still not looking like a laptop bag at all!  i was able to get both bags for the price of one if you buy it from a store. 

at almost the same time, cha offered to sell me his broadband prepaid kit.  and as i researched, it's the cheapest among those who offer the same service.  thus, cogitations is now powered by Sun Cellular!

my laptop is now portable.  i could carry it without being obviously carrying a laptop and i can go online! yipee!

Bi-curious

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bi-curious is a term used to refer to someone who does not identify as bisexual or homosexual but feels or shows some interest in a relationship or sexual activity with someone of the same sex. The term can also apply to a person who generally identifies as homosexual but feels or shows some interest in having a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. The terms homoflexible and heteroflexible are also applied to bicuriosity.

The term bi-curious implies that the individual has had no sexual experience—or very little—of that sort, but may continue to self-identify as bi-curious if they do not feel they have adequately explored these feelings, or if they do not wish to identify as bisexual.

can't sign in in Yahoo! Messenger

A couple of weeks ago I had the difficulty of signing in to Yahoo! Messenger. Whenever I enter my username and password it would act as signing in for about a minute then it would just go back to the sign in page. It reverts to that page without any error message showing up. So, it was not a username or password issue because it shouldgive me an error message of some sort. Well, something like "Invalid Username/Password".

So, I searched the internet for solutions. Unfortunately Yahoo!'s Help doesn't do much. It doesn't even have the right question for me. And the results that pull up are not even close to my query. So, I went out of the page. Then I sought the help of the trusted Google. Of course it would be impossible that I'm the only person having this trouble. The funny thing though is when my brother tried to sign in, it went through. So, I'm really baffled now. I ofcourse made sure it's not a communication error and all is well with my ISP, since I was able to view websites okay.

Then, I came accross one similar incident with someone in Yahoo! Answers. The solution that was presented there was pretty simple.

Uninstall Yahoo! Messenger completely and download a new set up and reinstall it.

There were following comments saying that this didn't work. But what the heck, it may not work for them, but it may work for me. So, I went ahead and uninstalled my messenger and downloaded a new set up and reinstall it.

Viola! I was able to log in fine now!

I tried to look for the page where I got the suggestion from to give the person some credit and thank him/her for the help. Unfortunately I'm not able to find the correct one anymore. So, to you, whoever you are, thanks!

You just need to eliminate the possible things that may cause this before doing the uninstall-reinstall thing.

• Make sure you have a good connection. Try browsing websites and check how fast the pages load.
• Be certain that you are not logged in on another PC's YM.
• In this instance there are no error messages showing up.
• Make sure your firewall can allows YM to access the internet.

No problems so far. Feel free to put in comments and i'll update this post if something will come up.
