Emergency Computer Repairs, Fixed

There are those times when your computer decides to be uncooperative. Your hard drive crashed, a RAM stick burned out or your motherboard fried. Any number of things can happen that will cause your computer to break down.

When it does, it’s important to have money set aside in order to fix these computer problems. Since the failure of your computer’s components are hard to predict, you may not have the funds you need to conduct repairs. If this is your scenario, consider getting emergency loans, such as online personal loans from greatplainslending.com.

On my Bag

We are going back home and unfortunately the husband won’t be flying with us to the Philippines. He’ll just be with us in Dubai then we’ll go our separate ways. Well, according to him, after I made some shopping expedition . Anyway, I just hope my shoulder and back won’t ache from the two bags that I would be bringing. One is a back pack that contains four FLIP video, my lenovo netbook and some toys of anevay. The American tourister bag would contain the macbook pro plus two digital camera. Yes, I do have lots of gadgets and since I am heading home I have to be on guard. haha. I just pray for a fruitful journey.

Half Packed!

Yesterday, I started packing. We need to know how heavy our luggage are since the husband would only be with us until Dubai. From there it would only be and the little girl. So it would be hard for me to claim our luggage when we reach Manila. That’s why I wanted to make sure we only have a few and they are light. Of this moment, two luggage are already full. One weight 14kg. not bad and I think they are still manageable. But, there are still stuff that are left behind and also our clothes. I still have some to buy some more stuff like those high quality but inexpensive bath towels for kids. As the day of our vacation is becoming shorter I start to become more and more anxious. I pray that I would be able to make the remaining eight hour flight home without any hassle.

FLIP not charging

I mentioned in one of my previous post that the husband bought three more FLIP videos. He asked me to update the software of the FLIP then I decided to charge them so that we’ll know if they are defective or not. It’s best to know now since we bought them here. It would be easier to claim warranty exchange. Anyway, two of the three FLIP did not charge. I told the husband that I think they are defective so I gave them to him so that he can bring them back to the store. Good thing, he checked them out first. According to him they are not defective but rather needs an update on their firmware. After updating the firmware both are now working. So, if you guys encountered a problem on your FLIP, check it’s firmware first. The update in available in their website.

iPHone App : EverNote

I was intrigued by EverNote when I saw from the Appstore FB page that it was the most downloaded app of last year. Also based on the replies on the FB question what is the first app iPhone users download, Evernote top the list. So, to satisfy my curiosity I tried to download it since it’s FREE! This application is like a diary, a journal where you can write your thoughts or record them via voice recording or through the photos you took. So if you are a blogger you can put in there the things that you wanted to blog about so that you won’t forget. Or better yet blog through Ever note and you can just sync it in your accounts. It really is nice and I am planning on using it to my advantage.

iMovie

I have so many new ideas right now. So many plans this year. I don’t know if I can still pursue getting an Online masters degree this year since I want to put all my energy right now in the pet project that the husband and I are planning. I am quite excited since we already have the tools to do it. Then I have discovered a software that would somehow help us in attaining our goal. I am right now studying the capabilities of iMovie. I have created slideshow/movies before using the Windows Movie Maker but somehow I think it still has so much to improved. But imovie is different. It offers a lot of options, all I need to do know is to discover and explore. I already created two movies through it. The first one, I tried putting in different pictures of the little girl through a slideshow and then I used her recording of the song Price Tag as the background music. It was okay. Then the next one, I put in together the videos that she took while in the Kuwait Zoo. I was able to cut some clips, those videos that shows the floor, lol! Then mashed them together. It work the way I like. Now, my next project would be the Christmas program. But I will do that at home because all the videos are on our PC.

Loving the MAC

Ever since I entered the world of computer, I always used a PC. When I was still on the learning stage, my older brother is into graphics and have been a MAC user. In fact, he is more well versed in a MAC than on a PC. I was thinking why do some users prefer a MAC even if it’s expensive. Now I know the answer. I have used different computers. From cheap Neo to high end HP and IBM. For me they are all the same. You get to install the operating system and then as a user get all the software that you need and put them in your PC and you’re good to go. In MAC it’s different. I already has pre installed software that are really powerful. After getting over the hurdles of switching, like how to copy and paste you would eventually see why graphic artist and other artist preferred it over a PC. And I am so glad that the husband is giving it to me hahaha.

Tango

There was a nice discussion among the husband’s friend here in Kuwait during last Sunday’s dinner in P.F. Chang. That was the first restaurant where the majority of their crew are not Filipino. Since it’s a Chinese restaurant I think they favor hiring Chinese personnel. This was a bit different compared to the first Chinese restaurant we dined in where the servers are Filipino. Anyway, back to the discussion. We were talking about rv insurance quote when someone called the husband through VIBER. After the phone call, the conversation somehow switched to phone brand and the apps that lets you call for free. The husband and I can attest to the quality of calls in VIBER. We enjoy it very much since we can talk for 2 hours or more or until our battery runs dry. Then someone told us about TANGO. According to him, the video calls are nice with it. So here I am downloading it. And later when the husband is home from work, I tell him to get it too. Let see if lives up to our expectation.

More FLIP!

When the husband went home last December he was bringing four FLIP videos. We used the three FLIP in recording the Christmas program of the little girl. Afterwards we gave the FLIP to my siblings and a friend. So we are down to only one FLIP. The husband has been telling me that we need to buy two more to assure that whenever the little girl has a program we can record it. And we need to have a tripod because when we hold the FLIP, sometimes the videos are shaky and the noise is evident. Last Saturday we bought three tripod worth Php 750. This one are being sold in the Philippines at about Php 1k +. Then yesterday, he got three FLIP and a recorder. Now, he says we have complete setup for the little girls activity.

Industrial grade computer parts are not easy to come by. These industrial modules are simplified to perform a specific function only, withstand long periods of time without regular maintenance, and built to perform in harsh and rigorous environments. Fortunately, there is a place online that provides you access to a number of industrial computers for any or most of your industrial needs, Fastwel.com.

Direct and simple, Fastwel.com’s homepage is of minimalist design. The absence of flashy visuals makes browsing the site straightforward but, at the same time, convenient. Since the site’s products and information are intended for those who are, more or less, in the IT industry, visual appeal is not such a necessity.
