Few weeks ago, I somehow found a wireless connection from my class with SSID “25″. Last time I did check before is there’s any Wifi from my class but I found nothing until few weeks ago, I found this “25″. I know my school is Wifi-ed, I saw a lot of wireless router hanging on the ceiling of different blocks but can’t connect into most of them.
I only know the the open Wifi network in my school is at the Canteen, Form 6 Block and School Hall. This “25″ is new and I manage to get onto the Internet with my iPod touch during classes few weeks ago but it’s not working right now. The “25″ is still showing on my list but the Internet connection doesn’t work already.
I tried login into their router homepage to check out the Internet connection status. They didn’t really change their default username and password so it’s pretty easy to guess, it’s either “admin” or “password”.

First I managed to login into this at, I check out their wireless status and Internet status, it’s all up but the in router SSID is showing “Art Room” instead of “25″ which I read from my iPod. One thing very weird is the Art Room is so far away from my classroom, so I assume the wireless connection is bridged from there.


Then the connection disconnected and the IP changed. Something is wrong with either the school wireless network or my iPod’s connection. I login into another router homepage at 192.168.1.1 and I got a Linksys router homepage. The same thing, everything shows the Internet is up but then the SSID is different again, it’s “Server Room”. I got no idea where the school’s Server Room is but the connection just keep jumping around. From Art Room to Server Room and once I got Resource Room which is just down the corridor of floor.
They should fix their wireless connection already. With all the set up ready, but a weird bridging wireless network, it’s still not a fully Wifi school yet, there’s still a lot of blind spot. However, I believe there’s still school with no Wifi network. =)

I was window shopping in Queensbay Mall last weekend and found out that the Switch Apple Premium Reseller store is closed and is under some sort of upgrade renovation for a bigger store. Great! I love Apple and wondering will Apple bring in the very own Apple Store to South East Asia, perhaps Malaysia?
Just rambling around. I want an iPhone 3GS! It’s coming to Malaysia, confirmed on 31st July 2009, Friday. Do you realised that all the iPhone 3GS launch days are all on the Friday? =)

I have almost forgotten diskette is called floppy disk and the floopy disk is called the diskette. Thanks to Google, it reminded myself. I want to say, oh god, there’s still people on earth using floppy disk as a data saving tool and it’s my school.

I was in charge of some editing work for the school magazine and they got me a floppy disk and I didn’t know how am I gonna read it because I have not been using this for like many years. Moreover, I don’t have floppy drive.

I remembered brother has a USB floppy drive that comes with his Fujitsu laptop years ago. I dig everywhere in my cupboard and found it lying there covered with dust.

After connecting via the USB, I found out that it doesn’t work. “USB not recognized.” Oh my god, tried all ports and it still doesn’t work.
Gave up and I’m not going to work for it anymore. Will just ask them to transfer it to a flash drive or something.
This is not cool, that’s why Mac didn’t have a floppy drive last time, but yet it’s still so cool.

I was doing window shopping at Gurney Plaza last weekend and saw a few mobile phone with low price tag on shelf. It’s all used units and in very good condition, with the low price and good condition, it’s a good buy. I am using my Nokia N95 and 6280, I want to replace my 6280 with a better one, but then money is the problem and moreover, new iPhone will be announcing next month, so let’s wait for it. =)
