It has been 2 weeks since the storm Frank passed by where I live and had damaged my Smart Bro antenna. It bent a steel bar (see pic below)! That storm really had a strong wind. So, I waited for a week to see if it had damaged my connection since the power was fixed a week after the storm.

Obviously the storm damaged something on my internet connection, it was just not clear to me what; was it my antenna or the smart’s main system in my area?

I tried calling the smart support hot line *1888 but I could not connect, it says “Your number cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again.” With that, I decided to go to their office to report the issue, but when I went their, even their support is not available, because they said, they were offline and could not check.

WOW — that was really bad! They are Internet Service Provider, yet they went offline.

Anyway, I also have a Smart Bro plugin, but it didn’t work as well.

NOTE: I love my smart bro unlimitted because it is the only fast internet connection that could reach my area, and the speed I had with it and the service when it was working was satisfying. I just had my connection back today, after weeks of torture from the storm. I am happy with my connection now, but not happy of the support that Smart has.

The only advantage HostMonster has for this site, is that it has a live support.

My daughter like to watch videos on YouTube. I let her watch Barney or Dora in it, but there are just some people who would edit or create videos of Barney or Dora that is not suitable for children to watch.

Today, from a friends blog, I found Totlol. It is a video website, powered by YouTube that is designed for kids. Here is a screenshot of the site:

From the frontpage of the site, you know its for the kids. It is also safe since they have put up some security measures. I guess every parents wants their children to enjoy and be secured of what they are watching. Check it out.

I want to share to you a problem on my smart bro plug-it. Just awhile ago, I have encountered this problem. See that I am currently connected and that it is just running for a minute and 13 seconds. Also check that I have full signal on UMTS of HSDPA. I am within Iloilo City, so it is expected to have a full signal. Now, check the Rate, it is 0 and not moving.

It has been my third time that it happened, then after awhile when it is stuck to 0, it will disconnect.

Then I would connect again, and so on and so forth. So if you see, this plan has what they call, BLOCK of 30 minutes, so that 13 seconds is considered to be 30 minutes when it got cut off.

That is the problem with the Smart Bro Plug-it. I don’t know if it is because I am running it on Mac that it keeps on disconnecting, because they said there are still bugs in it. So, anyone having the same problems who is using windows?

A new version of WordPress has been released today. It has changed its design and added some features.

However, this might be called an Upgrade, but I am not loving it. In fact, I am losing love on WordPress. Perhaps, seeing how powerful Drupal could be. WordPress seems to be out of place.

The design is confusing me!
