Wimax has started its journey in Bangladesh. However, although the journey started last year, till now, there are only two wimax provider company in Bangladesh; They are Qubee and Banglalion.
Unfortunately, my current residential area(north circular road) isn't under coverage of Banglalion. So, forcely, I have only one option left, Qubee. So, I simply subscribed to it recently. I am using 256Kb sky package.
How is the Modem?
The only surprise was that, I didn't know that wimax modems can be such big in size. Its not usb. Its used by lancard of my laptop. Also, It has to be powered by external power cable. So, in a word, not so portable. However, my provider branch said me that, there is another version(small in size and may be usb), that will be available soon.
How is the speed?
Speed is in satisfactory till now. Its up most of the time. I got connection problem 2-3 times for about 10-15 minutes. Also, download speed is most of the time is around 30 KB, however sometimes, its reduced to around 10 KB for around 20-30 minutes.
So, if you are interested, then , you can use this too. However i can't tell anything about the service of banglalion, you have to collect information from others for that, if you wish to compare between them.
Also, wimax is much better than cellular internet as its only dedicated for internet and is up 99%, where mobile phone internet causes connection problem/speed problems very often.

Just fulfilled another urgent requirements, that means, i have bought a new laptop with core i7 processor. Model is 'Dell studio 1557'. It just reached in our country recently.
I was in a urgent need of a laptop. My computer is about 6 years old and now became very slow to work for. So, i was fond of a new good configured laptop for development work. Recently i checkout the above model and liked very much. So, in a short period of time, i simply bought it.
I bought it from 'Computer Source', BCS Computer city,IDB Bhaban, Agargao, Dhaka. It cost me 89500 BDT. Also, I have added extra 2 GB RAM while purchasing(3800 BDT). However, the printed price lists showed 95000 BDT(May be for some business related reasons), but when i told them, i am interested to buy it, the deducted the price and sold to me at the above rate.

How escrow works:
working strategy of escrow system is quite simple. If you are a service provider, then before start a work, you should ask your service buyer to make an escrow payment for you. The amount buyer make escrow for provider, will be kept safe by the website authority. Here two key rules applies:

You can load an external image to your flash application very easily via actionscript 3.0. This is very common requirements when making a dynamic image gallery using actionscript/flash. As images may be changed, they need to be loaded somehow dynamically. Here is the place actionscript helps.
First, what you will need a loader object that is actually being used for many other purposes also. You will also need to add an event listener which will be triggered whenever the images loading completed.
var __loader = new Loader();
__loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onThumbnailLoaded);
To request, you will also need an another class object named 'UrlRequest' object. As soon as its done, you can request to load the image:
__request = new URLRequest(urlpath);
__loader.load(__request);
When the loading is completed, you can use the loader object as your received data
and use this anywhere you want. If you are currently in a movieclip now. You can add this as child movieclip like as follows:
function onThumbnailLoaded(evnt:Event){
addChild(__loader);
}
Now run your application and notice the loaded image on the swf movie.
Points to remember:
* URL must need to be valid. otherwise no image will be loaded. If there is possibility to be the URL wrong, then please use error event handler to track that. if you want the image loaded from clients pc. There will be need to add some more code with FileReference class.
* if you want to scale/provide a specific position to your image. use loader objects property to do that.
* You can also track the loading info, how much loaded. This is required when you are using progress bar to show the progress stat of image loading.
