    Software That Change Your Life

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Mine was Aldus (now Adobe) Freehand and Pagemaker. Before (way back in '93), we use to do everything manually (sketch/draw/finalize...revise). but when my boss decided to upgrade the office (an Ad Agency) w/ powermacs, everything went smoother form that point.....

    and not soon enough came Photoshop..... the rest is history. [nerdly]

    How To Tweak Smart BRO WiFi

    but i wont stop until they will give me one..

    i don't know... if one can be given a rebate, and hundreds (maybe even thousands) of unsatisfied SBro subscribers learns about this....... :?::?: :?:  it's unlikely that you'll be given one... but we'll see. [nerdly]

    BTW, i thought you have some kind of internal affairs w/ them (uncle?)? why not pull some strings or something?

    How To Tweak Smart BRO WiFi

    I'll be doing things like that in no time.

    Care to tell the programs that you use? Your "tools of the trade".

    I use photoshop CS2 (i have CS3 but i'm much comfortable working w/ CS2). i also understand you work w/ GIMP? I haven't tried it but i think it's kinda similar? And of course you'll get there. in fact, you already are.  :cool2:

    you could also try saving as .png instead of jpg. like masking/cropping images and leaving the background blank or something...

    Help: setup my laptop with smartbro

    I have something but I dunno if it's the same for notebooks. I felt lazy to re-type so....

    for lan connections i don't recommend routers. it's kinda complicated when you use a router.

    instead, go for a SWITCH or a HUB. d-link or linksys switch or hubs 8 ports are available for a thousand pesos only, and they are hassle free.

    all you have to do is connect your computers and your smartbro connection to it. the workgroup name, subnet mask and default gateway should be the same for both pcs and you'll run them both smoothly, as i said hassle free.

    Thanks again, CB.

    Smart Bro -> Pldt MyDsl question

    You know what?... I've searched the net for other ISPs here (M.Mla) and found out that BayanTel seems more reliable. Also Zpdee (SKY) internet. There are a lot of complains from PLDTMyDSL (hehe... so what's new?). But I experienced MyDSL firsthand and so far it was OK.

    I don't know the billing stuffs yet.

    That Zpdee sounds promising (cable - expensive but MAYBE more worth it) .... :icon_study: i dunno...

    It's like this:

    My/Our SmartBro : wireless (i get 300-400Kbps average [untweaked])

    My Sis' PLDTMyDSL : wired (using the regular phone wire - NOT wireless - and she gets 600-800Kbps average [untweaked])

    This Xperience thingy (i can't remember her package being called by that name when it got installed) has a canopy system like SBro (based on their site's info posted above) so it must be wireless just like SBro.

    I dunno.... have to check on it further.

    Try checking out other ISPs (BayanTel, Globe...) before changing... Me, i hate bayan and globe... just me. :grin2:

    does your sister have a landline?? i think that box you were referring to is the router.. does it mean that xperience is wireless?? does it mean that you are also wireless?? would it still be like smart bro because it is wireless?? can i forward port with a wireless connection like that?

    Yup, we used the existing landline. It's kinda like a router (you can only hook-up to just one PC) but it came w/ the PLDT package. I was amazed that time of how simple the whole set-up was when it got installed. No going on the roof and stuff.

    And if it's indeed wireless (Xperience), then what's the point? Right? You're only going to change the name. sheeesh....  :buck2:

    My sis will be back this 15th (from Melbourne, Aus) so I'll just have to ask her when she arrives. But hers is certainly NOT wireless.

    Does it mean that I have to subscribe to a landline just to have pldt mydsl??

    I just went to check the web if they have details regarding the promo but now i'm also confused. it says something about a canopy too (if so, maybe you don't need a landline but it will just be back to canopy again - w/c i hate coz we have this big tree and tends to block the line-of-sight of my AP). My sis was just provided with this small box (about 5" x 8") where you can plug the landline, phone and internet. Her room's locked so I can't take a pic of it yet.

      bro where can i get that program that monitors your download stats?

    is this what you mean? http://www.download.com/Net-Meter/3000-2155_4-10435551.html

    the one i posted above can be seen here at TMN (Main Menu bar - below testmy logo)

    Misc Tools>Score Database>key in Computer ID or Username>hit Submit Query

    How does it work without the land line?? Im just wondering, i though a DSL Broadband cannot work without a landline... :idiot2:

    we already have landline(s). what i meant was without the telephone unit (if there is such a promo) :lol:

    I have both SB (my home office) and PLDT MyDSL (my sis' pc) and also plan to leave SB soon (my lock-in expires in a couple of months) and switch all connections to PLDT (Plan 999 w/o Landline). SB is OK, I just grew tired of it.

    First off, I haven't got any tweaks or anything of that sort (w/ both PLDT and SB) so the speeds shown are very much basic (I just didn't want to mess up w/ any of my registries, 'just me).

    I haven't tried port forward(ing) in MyDSL (I use BitComet w/ default settings) (also, I really hate torrents so my DLs are just limited > no movies or games, etc... - 'just me)

    I think there are no added fees (in SB) as long as the lock-in expires - correct me if I'm wrong.

    The PLDTMyDSL speeds shown are from a few months back (my sis is out-of-own since April) but it's basically the same. Speed average @ 700Kbps. Again, no tweaks.
