edcel.net - a personal weblog

My new phone. Supposedly, I were to write an entry about how I got this cellphone and just for the record, I did create one. However, something happened with 3ix.com and one of their server maintenance that when I checked my entry, it was gone. F*ck.

I don’t know why I bought the phone when I didn’t even need to. I didn’t need a phone because I rely on my Nokia 1100 to answer my communication needs. Besides, I don’t text much so I find the idea quite a luxury already. Anyway, maybe because I was thinking too much come pay day because of the number of overtime ours that I rendered. However, when I checked my salary, I felt like a dumbass. Never expect, Edcel. Never expect, especially when it comes to money.Anyway, since I already promised Vince that I’d buy it, I stayed true to my word. So now I have this Sony Ericsson k550i; at least I got this as a bargain.

I’m so tired right now because of how many hours of facing this monitor. I’ve been working my way into building this site properly, the way I want to see it. However, I’ve had a bad time initially when I bought the site.

For a non-technical person like me, I really had a hard time learning the ropes in creating this site. I bought a domain at 3ix.com since that’s what a colleague at work used. I bought the cheapest package because I don’t think this blogsite would consume that much space as I also have another site. This is more of a place for my own silent rantings. Anyway, like I said, I had a bit of a time.

I was happy when I was able to buy my own domain and host in 3ix.com (I didn’t know what one would need at first in order to have a site) rather than have a free blog account. When everything went through (my credit card payment and the welcome email), I couldn’t hide the excitement.

However, because I was too excited, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought there’d be such a simple step by step process in order to come up with this page. I was wrong, well at least with the hosting package that I got. I didn’t even get any phone help cause the company doesn’t have one for technical issues. Hence, I just proceeded to using their Live Chat Support; which wasn’t that pleasant the first couple of interactions. The agents were a bit fast in delivering their spiels, thinking that I know how to set up this site. I admit that I’m not a technical person, I just want to learn in the process. But I just didn’t like the way they assumed that anybody who signs up for a hosting account. I should know since I’ve done I face customer and technical service interactions almost everyday as that’s my line of job.

But the third time that I was able to talk to a 3ix representative, I was able to get bit of an idea where to go and what to do. I figured I just have to use my searching skills in finding valid information in forums and other blogs.

So this is it, from edcel.wordpress.com to edcel.net . I’m still happy with what I’ve attained despite the many moments that I wanted to give up this page. But I said to myself that I have to go through with this for my added knowledge as there’s no use quitting since I’m not that much of a coward; at least to some extent.

The author is stuck somewhere in life.

He created this blog because his former blog expired unless he pay for subscription. And since he’s such a bit practical but actually more of a cheapskate, he transferred to another free blog site. He tried searching for other hosts out there, he already found one aside from Wordpress. However, he found the simplicity quite refreshing. So he’s planning to keep this just to for the sake of keeping itself.

Right now, the author is having fun tweaking this free Wordpress blog. He likes to just post some random thoughts that he normally doesn’t want to type in his other blog. Maybe a few pictures or two as well.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading my entries as I also enjoy creating them!

Just wanting to represent.

Because the author realized that having a free Wordpress blog would mean having limited features, he figured he’d buy a domain for himself; hence, edcel.net was born. Hope that anybody who’d drop by would care to holler.
