Walking the Notebook,

It has been a pretty long time since i last took my notebook out of the house...yes of late it has just been sitting on top of the coffee table in the hall, and lately i think its getting bored. Its like when you have been sitting down for too long that you feel that your ass is practically glued to the seat...yeah same thing. Finally today i thought i'd bring it out for a 'walk' but unlike how you walk your pet around the neighbourhood i have to bring this pampered little fella to a cafe where i can have WiFi access so i can do shit. And since i'm not studying or working i don't really have that much work to do...But i thought that i should do something to make myself look busy instead of being such a poser and sit here and surf. So what better way to do that then blogging...hahahaha, so here i am sitting in Starbucks trying to figure out what to blog about.

The connection here isn't really all that great to begin with, hahaha...and i thought that my house was crappy. So besides your average surfing and blogging there isn't really much i can do, and i've been here for some hours already. Streaming is just a big no no because the connection sometimes just cuts half way and then you probably have to clear the cache or just start over or if you're lucky the streaming just resumes. Anyways i've already tried to do most stuff you would normally do with the internet, downloading, streaming and surfing...hell i've even tried to play WoW here. After testing just about everything i've finally concluded that the connection here is only good for surfing, and thats it. Till this day, there isn't a single place that i've been to where the connection can beat the Starbucks in Plaza Mount Kiara...now that place has one hell of a connection.

Most places that offer WiFi services have really crappy connections, and i really don't know why either. I don't see many people hogging the bandwith or not that many people with notebooks and shit like that, but for some reason the line really sucks. This is where Mount Kiara comes in, there are a whole lot of people goes there and an equal amount of people that uses the WiFi there as well. But the line is soooooo smooth that it actually makes me wanna move my residence to Starbucks, hahaha!!! No seriously, its so fast that you can actually run torrents there and it wouldn't give you the slightest problem, hell the line is so fast there that you wouldn't even wanna download from home...The only thing i haven't tried there is playing WoW. Hrm, i can get a latency of like 200ms over there it sure as hell beats home. Lol, then i'd really consider moving there and sleep by the roadside or something like a beggar (yeah right :P).

So moving along i think i should just bring out my notebook more often, more often then not i've actually regretted the times that i forget or rather didn't bring my notebook when i visit locations that have WiFi access...And seeing that today is the first day that i've actually brought it out in a very long time and seeing as to how it has provided me with much added entertainment i would have to say that this change is surprisingly refreshing and therefore i've concluded that i should do this more often if i'm gonna visit such locations in future.
