Momhood Moments

Archive for November 21st, 2008

Mommy Darlene is having a Christmas giveaway contest on her blog. It’s a great way of giving and showing love for all the people around the world through this contest. Why do I say so? Winners will feel the mommy’s warmth from the blanket and scarf that she will be giving away, which I would love to have (the pink scarf would do *wink*), surely everyone feels that the holiday is fast approaching. Imagine… 33 days before Christmas!

And the good thing is that the contest will end in December 08, 2008, so no worries if you can’t make a post today, you have ample time to join in!

Also, here are the prizes as well. Cool prizes for the winners and thanks to the sponsors too!

I encountered a lot of people asking me how to connect to the internet wirelessly at home using their laptop. Of course the first thing I would ask if they have a wireless router. Usually, the common answer is “no”. Then, from there, I would know that they are not aware that you will need a wireless router to make a wireless network at home.

Personally, we have this laptop for almost 2 years now and it was only few months back when I bought a wireless router for it. Actually, we didn’t really need one since this laptop is our “desktop”, it’s the main and only computer we have here (my desktop is being used by my brother to play offline games), so basically, this laptop was on a wired internet connection. But I told hubby that I wanted to be able to blog in my bed, so I bought a wireless router. I bought a cheap one but if I had the money, I could have bought a Linksys router. It looks cool right? It’s a wireless N router which has a farther range and twice as much speed compared to the G routers. Mine is a G router but it does a good job, I don’t really need an N router as of the moment so I opted for a G router instead. But if you are not really on a tight budget and you want to be “future proof”, then you may want to go for the wireless N routers. ^_^

Yey! I’m joining contests again! ^_^
