It took a long while before I posted another blog entry again. Sorry about that. I usually get my internet connection from folks who forgot to password-protect their routers. As long as I could browse and download stuff, I’m satisfied even though it could get cold because I’m at an open area. But now I couldn’t get a decent WIFI connection. I can’t even access my own blog. I also have so many competition because almost all of my dorm mates knows that there’s a free WIFI at the lounge/balcony area. It has become a first come first serve basis. I got tired of it all so I’ve decided to subscribe to SmartBro Unlimited Plan 999 Plug-it. I just got it today. I applied last Wednesday (I have no work that day because it was Cebu City’s Charter Day.) but I didn’t get the unit since they have no available stocks.
Sad to say, I’m not really impressed with the speed. It’s OK but not what I expected. There are times when it’s slow and I need to reconnect to reset the connection. I am yet to test the downloading speed when downloading torrent files. I guess I’m just used to the lightning speed of the internet in the office. Haha! There’s one thing I need to know, if it is possible to use OPENDNS or Google Public DNS. That could make a difference on the speed..
I’ve been busy these past few weeks. I started making my portfolio but I only have 3 designs (my past layout in rakenrol.asteeg.net, my current layout and a mockup of our batch website). If only I could score some web design jobs. I also plan to get active in 99designs.com and odesk.com. Having unlimited internet connection was the first step.
I could make you a WordPress layout too! Just give me nudge.
By the way, I’m going home tomorrow. It’s my Grandmother’s 15th Death Anniversary and my parents wants me home. We will be having a family lunch, I think.
