My "lovely locks"

Someone kind of asked me why I had to chop off my "lovely locks." My response was to get rid of the bad vibesJ But there's more to it than that.  I was inspired by Kate Nowak's article on "The Secret of Living Fearlessly," which states that there is an "exquisite freedom in being possessionless and sweet content in being empty. It is one of [the] paradoxes of life that we must lose everything before we are able to understand that, in reality, we have never had anything to lose." (my mane is one of the things I got so attached to) What better day to start fearless living than today?J

A blunder

I was totally embarassed when my superior learned (from me) that I described a navigation bar in the project I'm currently working on as a "line of numbered buttons." hahaha...Seriously, what was I thinking??? I should have made it short and sweet  (I'm vigorously shaking my head from side to side and rolling my eyes). This is the result when my mind's busy somewhere else (just my excuse to hide my reddened face though...ssshhh) Still....after a very long and busy day, it's good to know that I can still laugh at my own mistakes. I can still laugh!:)

Rejoice!

Troubleshooting a slow connection

A few days ago, my newly configured wireless internet connection has slowed. Since I've networked my PC to Weng's PC on my own (hambugera! daw...hahaha), I'm embarassed to call a PLDT technician expecting that I'd get scolded for messing up the connection. So the next sensible thing I did was to search the internet and voila! I found this article. It says changing my WiFi channel number could be the answer to my trouble...and....it worked!:) According to the article, a WiFi network that shares a channel with another network shares resources for "network connectivity" using up more bandwidth thereby slowing the connection. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I did improved my connection  (i've downloaded this utility that checks whether the channel i'm using is crowded with other wifi routers. none of the channels are even used in our area) but who cares?:)
