Finally, I'm done with my first template development for CRE Loaded 6.3 Standard. I have been worried about this task since I first received it. I actually spent more than the normal but it is my first time so I think it's a good excuse. :-P

I have been converting templates for CRE Loaded but from older version of the same cart so it's pretty easy to grasps the new file structures are. But developing a template from one cart to another type of cart is a different story. And to add, I am converting an osCommerce template compatible to CRE Loaded 6.3 Standard.

My first few hours (to days) has been a mess. I resorted to doing the development locally in my laptop so to speed things up instead of using our company's development site. Don't blame me but I hate the loading time and I am lazy when uploading changes a dozen times for just one file. Who would like to do that? Well I managed to grasps the file structure by looking at referenced templates and the default templates already installed in CRE Loaded 6.3. But I think one of the big help aside from over-extending my patience in dueling this task is guidance and peace giventh to me from up above.

Another help is this site I found while looking for references:

http://www.creloaded.com/faq.php?cID=7

(Of course it's from CRE Loaded's website, silly me!)



Anyways, hopefully I would be efficient in specific tasks like these. I can't wait to try another template development. I just love challenges despite having to tackle dirty roads. Are you?

Hi all,

I haven't been able to update my blog for over a month. I have been very very very busy with life. I had to restructure my priorities. Sad to say, blogging is one of the least but of course, it doesn't mean I'll stop blogging. To catch up, what happen to me in between my last post and today...

1.) Finally I got my PLDT DSL Connection. I had a previous rant post about PLDTMyDSL services. Apparently all is well now. I am a very satisfied customer. The internet service live up to the package I selected - a 1mbps package. I can now watch movies and anime online without having to wait a little for my browser to load. As for my SmartBro connection, it is still up here though. Hindi ko pa napaputol so I have two internet connection at home.

2.) Another happy gift for myself. The laptop I order has arrived. It is an ACER brand - "Aspire 4530". Though it didn't have the fingerprint reader feature as I have ordered (naubusan na sila ng stocks, limited lang pala yung feature) I am happy with my new gadget. Here's a short overview of my laptop's specs as I have upgraded all of the stuffs I can upgrade:

• AMD Turion™ X2 Ultra Dual Core ZM-82 (2.2GHz, 2Mb Cache, 800MHz FSB)
• NVIDIA® nForce® MCP77MH Chipset
• 4.0Gb DDR2 800MHz
• 14.1in. WXGA TFT LCD(1200x800)
• NVIDIA® GeForce® 9100M G integrated 3D graphics with up to 752Mb of Turbo Cache™
• 500 GB SATA HDD
• 
  

• Multimedia Dolby Digital Surround Sound Effects
• Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series GPU on 55 nm process
• Wireless IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter
• Built-in 5-in-1 Card Reader
• Built-in Intel Wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g/Draft-N) Wireless Connection
• Built in Super Multi DVD Double Layer Drive
• 2.4Kgs. (5.29 lbs)
• 6 Cells (3.0-Hours battery life)

Already widely publicized, this story still continues to make our hearts flutter. This is proof that animals do actually have the capability to love. :)

Two weeks ago, several PLDT MyDsl agents are having their door-to-door advertisement for their product. You can see several of their vans in our village roaming around with agents knocking on every door. We are also visited by an agent. "She" (He's a She - Shokla) offers her products and because I heard good things about PLDT thru a friend of mine. I was enticed to subscribe. Another thing is that I need to have a stable connection for my work by which Smartbro faithfuly served me up until lately when I often had connection problems.



Anyways, The process was kinda easy. If you have an existing landline, you can just present 2 valid IDs and fill-up the form and the application will be processed. I was told that the procees will take 2-3 business days for approval then another 2-3 business days for installation with a maximum of a week to complete the installation of the connection.

So I waited for a week and then plans to contact the agent who serves our application to their higher ups. But before that I called the Customer hotline of MyDsl to check. Apparently, I'm quite alarmed. There's no record of my application in their system. It was a week ago, I told the CSR. They said that it might have been with the agents end at fault. So I contacted the agent and a few hrs later "She" called. I told her about it and "She" said that the application is still pending. FTW! My application pending on their desks? And becoming sitting ducks? WTH! "She" said that they'll contact us and give it another week to process the application. And I gave up, since there's nothing I could do unless give that b*tch a tongue-lash for a change.

Then Here am I, a week after, and 2 weeks after I filled up the application, Has just finished talking to one of the CSR in their MyDsl Hotline. I learned that my application is DEACTIVATED because there's no slot/port available. WTF! What are those agents doing in our village?? Offering their promising products then could give them to their consumers. We were even asked to wait for an available port in our area. There could have been a number of us waiting. I must say, that's a very unwise move and to add, a bit RUDE in their part. "Naniniguro lang sila ng clients!" They don't really give a damn care about their "newly acquired consumers of their products" who is waiting and waiting and waiting... tapos wala rin naman pala. "Kung hindi pa ako tumawag at nagtanong sa HOTLINE nila in, hindi ko pa malalaman na ang rami pala naming nag aabang na may mabakanteng PORT sa aming lugar." It really pissed me off that they left our house with our application forms and leaving their promises that in a maximum of a week, we can have the product we applied for. I guess I'll be sticking my butt to SMB and won't give my hopes high on MyDsl.
