My Desktop Preview
I got tagged 2x by Nita and Emmy Rose
Ok here’s the preview of my desktop, I always change my wallpaper from time to time so i will not be bored. I have a couple of icons there for my frequently used program.
Loving my desktop and my OS (Vista), it provides superior quality graphics and easy management. I never get to use XP that much since I jumped from Windows 98 to Vista.

Owning A Small Cafe
Owning a small net café here in our neighborhood has it’s ups and downs. It is always nice to have lots of customers coming in and renting for couple of hours. The minimum mins. is 30 mins. and of course they can surf till they drop. Mostly my customers were female and in their teens although there are many mommies or adults coming in too using the webcam etc. I am always happy when no one is complaining about the connection, pc slowing down or crashing, or headphone not working but when those troubles arises I need to assist them already.
Just this morning, I reformatted another pc (thanks to my nephew who taught me how to do so) bec. there are lot’s of pop ups. Actually reformatting a pc is quite easy bec. you just need to follow the dialogue boxes and you are set to go. I already saved time from bringing the pc to my technician as well as money. My sis-in-law on the other hand is also trying to trouble shoot the pc that has no power yesterday. She only opened the pc, cleaned it, removed the dust by blow dryer and voila it’s working already. I can say, we can only fix minor problems but changing video cards or other hardware inside the pc are things that we also wanted to learn.
Oh well, at least we already know how to troubleshoot which is also a must if you have a business like mine. Some of the things that give me headache was when my ISP is down and when customers try to change the computer’s setting and installing programs or games in it. That is kinda annoying for me, really it is and maintaining a net cafe is hard sometimes.

What is An Idea?
I was trying to find a new idea that I can share here and before that I took some time to research what is an idea and here is what I found at wikepedia.com
Accdg to Wikepedia: An idea usually refers to a persons thought or concept. Ideas can be of several types categorized by how other people perceive them:
• Simple ideas – for example, forming a list of possible leisure activities or food to eat
• Novel ideas – an invention or new way of thinking (a new mechanism or paradigm)
• “Dangerous” ideas – overturning the conventionally accepted status quo (as Darwinian evolution or Heisenbergs uncertainty principle)
• delusional ideas – such as believing your pet hamster is an alien or belief in some religious sects
• psychotic ideas – an irrational belief caused by a psychiatric condition
Don;t forget to get watch Las Vegas Shows when you are in Vegas ok. That’s a good idea.

I Want a Laptop
It’s been how many months now that I am craving to have a laptop of my own and I hope I can already buy next month. I want to have one so that I can use it at our house when I go home from work. I know it will be convinient for me and my nephews so that they can use. I am planning to buy either HP or Dell laptop. I will still look for nice specs and good price.
I also need to find where is the DELL store here located so that I can buy straight from them. Arggghh i need to have one now.

Quotes on Ideas
Albert Einstein:
Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Bill Moyers:
Ideas are great arrows, but there has to be a bow. And politics is the bow of idealism.
David Bohm:
Indeed, to some extent it has always been necessary and proper for man, in his thinking, to divide things up, if we tried to deal with the whole of reality at once, we would be swamped. However when this mode of thought is applied more broadly to man’s notion of himself and the whole world in which he lives, (i.e. in his world-view) then man ceases to regard the resultant divisions as merely useful or convenient and begins to see and experience himself and this world as actually constituted of separately existing fragments. What is needed is a relativistic theory, to give up altogether the notion that the world is constituted of basic objects or building blocks. Rather one has to view the world in terms of universal flux of events and processes.
Don Marquis:
If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you. If you really make them think, they’ll hate you.
Dorothy Thompson:
The only force that can overcome an idea and a faith is another and better idea and faith, positively and fearlessly upheld.
Edward R. Murrow:
Just once in a while let us exalt the importance of ideas and information.
George Bernard Shaw:
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

Sleek Fashion
I was browsing Polyvore and found this chic and stylish fashion. I picked it because of the DSLR camera (which i have own one) and the iPhone , which I don’t have yet.
It can be an office wear too. Love the white blouse , the bag and those shoes really rocks. This is also perfect to wear in a show. I need to get some Las Vegas Shows Tickets first.

I Need a Memory Upgrade
When I bought my HP desktop almost a year ago it has 160 GB of hard drive which I reckon is not enough bec. my digital photos are eating a lot of space and just only 512 MB DDR2 of memory. My OS is Vista and it already requires 1GB of memory so I thought of upgrading.
Fortunately I have 3 slots for the memory cards so I added 2 memory cards (1GB each) and when I open other programs the performance is already good. Right now, I am doing a lot of graphics using my Photoshop CS3 and PSP8 and I reckon I need to have 3GB of memory. I will just buy when I have time. What about you have you upgraded yet?

Blog Hopping
I had the time to blog hop the other day whilst dropping some Ec cards. Bloggers have really sprouted over the year especially here when Paypal over its doors for us last year. Bloggers rejoiced because for those that are monetizing their blogs they can easily accept money now from advertisers.
It’s been a delight for me to browse many blogs, not just only here but many countries as well. I was particularly attracted by the photos that bloggers are sharing making me peek a bit on their own private lives. Also saw some videos on some blogs and it was fun to watch. Anyway, I am just happy that I became a blogger.
