Now online with P1 WiMAX

Posted on the August 24th, 2010 under Blogging by papabear

My last post was about 10 days ago. By the way, the last post in Bahasa Indonesia was written by Mama Pasha and not Papa Bear. Some of you thought that Papa Bear wrote an entry in Bahasa Indonesia. No No No… That’s Mama Pasha. Look carefully at the author ya.

Anyway, I have not been blogging and blog walking since my last entry. The reason was due to the fact that our router that connected us to the SOMA Port broadband modem from Jaring got hit by lightning. It went cuckoo. LAN was OK but Internet kaput-ted… So, instead on investing on another router and face the uncertainty of compatibility with the SOMA Port, I signed up for P1. But, no need to potong since the Jaring broadband was wireless as well…

This is not the first time I tried P1. You can read about my first P1 experience here. They told me that they would be upgrading my area and they did keep their words. MAXIS told me that they are going to upgrade my area by July 2010 and they failed. UniFi is the worst of all. They went silence…

DX-230 replacing DV-230

So, now, this entry was posted via P1. Just finished setting up the Wi-Fi security and things look good so far for a 1.2Mbps connection. Why ditched Jaring? The main reason is that the SOMA Port is a single user modem. You need a router to share the connection but Jaring does not support this. We have 3 computers at home that need the internet… If you hit a problem when connecting via a router, they simply refused to provide any support. They would ask you to remove the router first. Well, now I removed them… Too bad…

Hope that this P1 would remain as good as it is now. My neighbor at the back said that she has no issue so far. My friend somewhere at the end of the world around Rawang said he is a satisfied customer. Let’ see…

Yahoo! Messenger messes up Firefox

Posted on the July 15th, 2010 under Blogging by papabear

This is for those who are using Firefox and Yahoo! Messenger but very much in love with Google Search.

One fine day you happily installed Yahoo! Messenger on your computer. Then you realized that your happiness was short lived when you discovered that Yahoo!, without asking for your permission, had changed your Firefox Location Bar and Default Search Engine. Now when you put in your keywords in the location bar, Yahoo! Search would be fired up instead of your beloved Google Search. You then looked all over Firefox and unfortunately, there was no way to remove it.

You can now live with it or you can do the following…

Changing the Location Bar search

  1. Type about:config in the location bar aka address bar and press enter.
  2. Type keyword.URL in Filter.
  3. Double-click on the displayed line.
  4. A box will pop up. Change the string value to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
  5. Or if you want to fire up the Lucky Search, use http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=

That’s it for the Location Bar search. If you want it to search using something else, you can always modify the string value to your liking.

Changing the Default Search Engine

  1. Type about:config in the location bar aka address bar and press enter.
  2. Type browser.search.defaultenginename in Filter.
  3. Double-click on the displayed line.
  4. A box will pop up. Change the string value from Yahoo to Google.

Done.

You are now free of Yahoo!
