The problem has bugged most of Vista users when the OS came out is now solved. For those people who wanted Vista to remember the username and password of network shared folders, your request has been answered – or shall I say partially answered. The fact that vista now remembers the username and password is a good update, however, I do not know which update that I installed helped fix this problem.

Last night, I had the opportunity to try SmartBro and Globe Visibility in my laptop. I first used SmartBro, because I’m used to a decent internet connection at home, it was so much pain to wait for 30 secs to load a single page. It also took quite a while to update my emails in Outlook and my Yahoo! IM was in lag. So, I kept working because I had to finish my presentation for the following day. A night after I realized that I had a post paid Globe Visibility in my back pack, which I bought a few months ago. I used this device I think only twice when I really had no choice. For the third time I had no choice, so plugged the USB device and found out that the device was not detected because I installed SmartBro a night before.. THE F**K!!!! So i ended up uninstalling everything and reinstalling the darn Globe Visibility and to my surprise, the darn thing won’t install its drivers.. THE F**K!!! Does Globe products behave like this? Maybe their iPhones are the same thing – I WON’T EVEN TRY. We had plans in our office that all of us will buy iPhones but what happened with me, they surely can count me out! Back to the darn kit, since I’m quite handy with tech stuff, I was able to install the driver and got the thing working. Set everything and tried opening a web page, Google’s home page that is. Imagine, it took more than a minute to load the darn page! THE F**K!!! This is freakin’ stupid! I know that I’m only in GPRS and that with the same connection type, SmartBro was way better! Now I tried opening my IM. WOW! 3 minutes just to login! SUPER F**K! And as for my Outlook, more than 5 minutes… AMAZINGLY SSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW for heaven’s sake!!!!!

After this experience, all I can say is the “F” GLOBE – the “F”… I wonder why I signed for the Globe broadband. But one thing I can promise. If the internet speed that I will have is way below than they claim, then kiss my freakin’ “A” goodbye cause I won’t be paying anything. As for my GLOBE Visibility, in the trash to which it deserves…

I think, NO GLOBE service/products for me from now on. Sorry Globe lovers, you can never convince me otherwise.

When I booted my pc two weeks ago, I had a pop near my system tray saying that there is a new version of Avira Antivirus. Downloaded that software and it was very much like the older version but probably changes were done under the hood. I used Avira (the Free version) for  more than 3 years now and I have no problem with it.

When installing the software, everything was nearly automated and all performed without a glitch. I now have the latest version of Avira running in my pc.

I finally decided to write about the things that I do for a living. After all, this is what I do most, then why not blog about it. So, here it is a new label in my blog – GPS. I will try to write the simple things that you can do with your GPS, and yes, that includes Geotagging. For now, I will just have a tutorial on how to download GPS data from any (As long as EasyGPS supports your device that is) GPS unit.

I’d recommend using EasyGPS because it’s FREE and you don’t need to a geek to use it. It’s as easy as clicking buttons. You can also open the .gpx file from EasyGPS in Google Earth and that this is the only software that I now that can help your easily geotag photos. Follow the step by step guide below to download your GPS data.

Needed software: EasyGPS and device driver for USB attached GPS (mine is in COM so I do not need a device driver)

Needed hardware: GPS unit (Magellan, Garmin or anything supported by EasyGPS – see Configuring your GPS receiver in the software’s manual) and GPS data cable
