PISMO Digital Opens New Store In Eastwood City

Friday, December 18, 2015



Yes! They're open now at the Eastwood Le Grande 3 Building's Ground Floor and offering the latest and best brands you can think of in phones, cameras and accessories. It's Christmas season so what opportune time to do it right? Here are some of the items I saw inside the new Pismo store.


They had us take photos using the Polaroid Cube and other cameras on their line. They also got us to test printing via the Polaroid Bluetooth Printer which you can use with your iPhone without the need of disconnecting from the wifi.


Linksys WRT1900AC sells around Php 14,990, you might think it's expensive but this is the BEST router there is in the market. I've worked with this so much literally but of course, you can only be as great as your existing connection. I wanna have one Linksys, yes? LOL I know you're reading this!


For smartphone lovers, Android users rejoice as the ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser and Zenfone Selfie is here too. It retails quite the same I think, but since they're a store you can probably lay away with credit card purchases which would be easier for you. 


For GoPro owners like me, lookie here! They've got several attatchments and GoPro Poles you can choose from. Some are cheap, some are really expensive but again since this is a store you have lots of options.


For those who love the outdoors, walk no more with these Segue and Smart Balance Wheel which is so popular with kids now. You should get one before stocks run out!


I also love the Parrot Drones. They've got indoor ones and outdoor models. Some last a few minutes to around 26 minutes for the professional ones. It's around 16K so if you're looking for one, you should experience it here first then decide which one to buy. Yes they do have test units you can use before you purchase them!


I also saw cellphone accessories, huge designer speakers which might interest you. I'll be looking around and wish this was my home lol. Congratulations PISMO on your new store in Eastwood City!

Ciao!

Working with Fiber Optic Cables

Thursday, April 09, 2009

I've been slaving these past few years configuring Cable and DSL Internet connections for home and small business offices in the US and elsewhere in the globe. There are also other types I configure for common users such as satellite connections, microwave and fiber optic modules that would make ordinary people squirm a little every time the geek in me utter technical jargon for breakfast. I know how it feels and difficult it was when most switches, L1 and L2 Routers do not work as advertised and only to find out that the problems would be traced with the fiber optic cables that have breakages. It just would be arduous to check the line manually like the last time I did it for a multinational company. It would have been easier to just have it replaced immediately but thinking about the cost per feet of this material it would not be economically appropriate. The GBIC devices used to connect these switches to other SOHO and Network devices are also pricey so if there are times that it could not be replaced anymore because the warranty expired, most consumers would not dish out money for it and rather buy a new "more advanced one" instead.


I also had to work the 50 meter LC to lc multimode Duplex Patch Cable they bought for another site and have the logistics set up for that. I'm confident that I could get that to work if they had the right firmware but the one I sent them previously seem to have bounced the initial electronic mail address they gave me. The secondary one went through so we had the manageable switches updated then POOF! We have network and Internet connection working smoothly. I have not checked the status of that since I'm in a different department now, but I'm glad that worked in spite of using other brands in the network. I was afraid it would not be able to do it since the design on the GBIC connectors is proprietary with ours.

I wonder if I could take a peek at that case number I have in my notepad with the help of some of my peers who still are in that account. I fervently hope he did not have problems anymore because that was really a hard one to resolve. Lucky me they bought TCA Fiber Optic, CAT5 and CAT6 Network Cables. The mileage would definitely tell us what its worth.
