My buta-IT sister

You kno, i always had the impression that it was pepakciks and memakciks the older generation who didnt know basic computer skills. Little did I know that my17-year-old sister who just finished SPM last year (in Science stream, may I add) was lacking in that department.

I met up with some chatters from KL4 or KL2, not really sure :P at KLCC then i got this text message: “Che (big sister) kenot go online :(( what to do?”

I replied: “Dunno, wait till I come back”

Then I got home at 8pm but didnt get to look at my pc or the internet problem because my relatives were around for dinner so was busy layaning them and such. Keep asking questions to my sis asking “Does the laptop hv connection?” “No” “Is the 2 pc icon blinking?” “yes “does the laptop detect any wireless signals?” “dunno” “did u try restarting everything – pc, router & modem?” “yes” “did u change any settings on the pc?” “No” “Then technically it should work fine what”.

Was sooo tired that i felt asleep at midnite and got up at 2am, when i finally got the chance to look at my PC which was right next to my bed. Everything seems ok with it, so i look at the ethernet port to see if the cable is connected. Yes it was, then i looked at the router – it was ok. Then when i looked at the modem i spotted the problem.

It was NOT EVEN connected to the phone jack…….!! (-_-;)

On another note, I just found out that Sarawak Tribune’s license was suspended indefinatly. I heard around 300 employees were laid off.

PUTRAJAYA 8 Feb. – Kerajaan menggantung permit akhbar Sarawak Tribune setelah jemaah menteri secara lantang menyuarakan kemarahan terhadap akhbar itu dalam mesyuarat mereka hari ini.

Kabinet menyifatkan tindakan akhbar berkenaan sebagai tidak bertanggungjawab dan tidak sensitif apabila menyiarkan semula karikatur menghina Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. walaupun menyedari perkara itu telah membangkitkan kemarahan umat Islam seluruh dunia.

Bagaimanapun, penggantungan yang berkuat kuasa hari ini tidak ditetapkan tempohnya.
