Punzi's Corner Blog: A New Computer

A New Computer

Technically, I just turned my new PS3 into a computer with the addition of a cheap USB keyboard and a recycled wireless optical mouse.

I have been testing it since we got back from Trinoma. Of course, it has limited capabilities. The keyboard and mouse are basically used just to make surfing the net with the built-in browser more bearable than using the Sixaxis controllers.

The PS3's built-in browser is not exactly Firefox or even IE7. It's very limited because of its limited Flash and Java capabilities. I was actually attempting to blog using the PS3's new configuration but it did not work out because I could not write to the space for the actual entry. All I could do was write to the title and label spaces. I have not tried to write using Wordpress, though, and I may attempt to do that later.

But for basic surfing the net, it's still way better than using the controllers. You can basically check your email, surf most of the popular pages like Friendster and Face and actually even watch YouTube there, although you cannot go fullscreen.

I have not tried the Yahoo! apps yet, but I will probably try that one soon.

So far, the experience is a little more than a phone's but still way less than a full computer.

Anyway, I'll give you more updates on surfing the net using the PS3 soon. I'm even planning on installing Linux since I have a bigger hard drive now.

So since my PS3 is technically a computer and thus part of my home network now, I think she has to have a name. For the sake of consistency (I name my computers after US teen stars), I have decided to give her the name "Miley," as in "Miley Cyrus."

I finished my download of demo games and I don't like them at all. I don't like them because they're so good, I want to buy them all...

Anyway, I'll get back to surfing using Miley now...

By the way, choir went well tonight and I'm really seriously considering a flute upgrade instead of upgrading my clarinet. I have not forgotten my roots, you know.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
