Modem Replacement from Sky

Image
Ganitong modem "Skyworth" ang pinalit ng Sky sa modem namin na luma. We are having issues with the WiFi disconnecting everyday between 2am and 4am. Turning the modem off/on while waiting ~2 minutes in between, fixes it. But lately, it disconnects in the afternoon as well. The modem lights are okay, but it kicks us out. Araw-araw nalang. Inis nako . So, I contacted Sky last week to schedule a home visit. The Sky technicians came today. After a Q&A about the problem, they decided to replace the old Technicolor modem. The replacement modem is free. Anyway, it takes a long while to set up the new modem kasi it's not just "plug and play." They coordinated with their home office over the phone, linked it via serial number, etc., and then, I signed their work order form. We made sure okay lahat before they left. My 2-year contract with Sky ended matagal na so I can cancel at any time. When I do that, I will only cancel their internet service. I am keep

My February in Pictures

— Pork giniling at pineapple tidbits … Pwede na. Wala kaming carrot or patatas, kaya green peas nalang nilagay ko. Saute chopped 4 cloves garlic at half white onion, 1/3 giniling, isang kustarang toyo ng 5 minutes. Ihalo ang syrup from maliit na pack ng tidbits, mga 4 na kutsarang tubig, magic sarap, pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover then lower heat. Simmer ng 15-18 minutes hanggang maluto at lumabot baboy. Dagdag ng kutsarang tubig in betwen kung kailangan lang. Ihalo green peas at simmer ng 5 minutes. Oks na. — Brunch: Scrambled egg and leftovers ... na adobong kangkong + small suahe shrimp na niluto sa garlic at Sprite. Buo yang shrimp pagluto syempre, nabalatan na yan sa plato. Di malaki ang suahe, la din makuha sa ulo. Next time Royal ang gagamitin namin sa hipon, kulang kasi sa tamis yung Sprite. — Youngstown sardines + fried egg ... at UFC banana catsup. Simple lang. Yum.

Office Error after Windows Update [FIXED]

Image
Lost 4 working hours when I updated Windows on my laptop... and about an hour more to repair the error on the Office programs after the update.  Good thing that Office only needed the "Quick Repair" to fix that 0xc0000142 error. This is the easiest fix. My Office is working again without that error after running Quick Repair. The Windows update can be unnerving because the screen would go black sometimes or be stuck on a % and you don't know if your computer froze or it's just running in the background. I usually check the "processing" light - if it's blinking, it's still doing something so I leave it; but if it's steady, it probably froze and I need to hard restart.
