Cheapo wireless router

Wi-Fi router

Yesterday, I bought a really cheap wireless router from CDR-KING. It’s a bundled pack, a generic wireless router plus a wireless USB LAN dongle. Installation was very easy, I just plug my broadband ethernet cable and my PC on the router and it worked perfectly. The router’s configuration was a breeze, I use a WPA2 encryption and a pre-shared key to protect access to my Wi-Fi and home network, I’d also set the router’s password to secure admin page. Now I’ll be able to use my laptop anywhere at home.

Note: I’m not in any way affiliated with or promoting the said products or services and I do recommend buying high quality product or branded routers like Cisco’s Linksys or D-Link. I was on a tight budget so I go for the cheap one for now but I was pretty satisfied with my choice.

Happy holidays!

Google App Engine

I’ve been on hiatus for a couple of days. I had an early holiday vacation. And when I finally check my emails today and skimming through a lot of spam, I saw that I receive a mail invitation from Google App Engine, saying my account has been activated and I can start creating my application. I was surprised and got me thinking, when the hell did I request for a Google App Engine account? I paused for a moment then said to myself, what the heck! I’ll just jump in and start creating an application. I click the link provided by Google and sign in using my Google account. Then when I saw the “Create an Application” button, I was reluctant to click it, so I stop and think of what application I’ll write but couldn’t think of anything. So I decided to take a time to read the documentation and how to get started. I’m excited to start an application using Google App Engine, imagine your application can use Google infrastructure. Sweet!
