Break is over

Well after quite a siesta, I’, getting back into action here. I hope to be bringing more posts in the future. This blog continues to be dedicated to bring information on sharing problems and solutions for PC users. For starters and for the purpose of quality, I am planning on monthly updates to start with (at minimum). What I would love to hear about is if there is any comments, complaints, suggestions or opinions of this blog. Please reply to this post with any comments at all.

Google Chrome FAST Facts

I just installed Google Chrome today and it’s probably one of the most fastest installs I’ve ever done. Not to mention that it is fast in loading pages. While it’s early, I have not encountered anything that I find as a problem. However, if I do, I’ll post it. I like Chrome’s tab feature. I like FAST and I can’t stand it when you are sitting there waiting especially when a browser crashes when closing which I find Firefox is guilty of now and then. Try Google Chrome today – Check it out and see for yourself: http://www.google.com/chrome

Sometimes you need to go back to the first!

After a tough time of debating and searching, the answer hits you! The first theme is what works best. For all you who have been faithful to my blog, this theme will seem familiar. I did change the header image to one that I feel may fit. I am hoping this is it.

This new style is currently in use as our new theme, however, it’s only a test and could be changed again. Go ahead and say something. If I like how this theme works, it will stay has the new theme. This is in hopes to improve the intent purpose of this blog

New Design

Well, I feel it’s been a long time coming, but, for those who visit often, this blog has a new design. Not sure about it, but, felt it was time for a new look. We’ll see. Feel free to comment.

Documentation is only as good as the documentor

I’ve started working again in the computer field for another organization and I continue to see the importance of quality documentation. Haste definitely makes waste in this subject. When you are documenting something for others to be able to refer to later, you really need to be careful as to it’s quality and clarity.

Sometimes when you are paging through documentation, you can notice that some of the screen shots don’t make sense or that the ones used were from years past and should have been updated. It’s well worth the time and effort to take your time when creating documentation. Not doing so can have darts flying your way if you are not careful (figuratively speaking).

The documentor needs to think of those who will read the work later when needed. The closer to perfection the work, the more appreciated the documentation will be by those in need.

Granted the person doing the work may be really good in the given profession, but, if the work is done carelessly or haste fully, then what’s the point? It was a waist of time.

It pays to be diligent. Besides, what if the creator becomes the reader or worse, the one doing the presentation in front of a large group of people?

Hacking – Part 1

I’m currently researching information on Hacking to share to readers of this blog. I purchased some magazines and am searching the NET. I have to be careful on two fronts with this subject, one that I understand the issue that I read and two that I can put it in words that anyone who reads the post can understand. I just started to read an article and I didn’t even understand what the heading meant. Well, I had a very small inkling, but, that is all. I’ve done articles on Spam, Spyware, Backups, Phishing, Security, and found that Hacking is a good subject to add to this range of topics. Anyone from a System Administrator down to a regular everyday home PC user needs to have a concern with this subject. If you have an Internet connection, you could be vulnerable.

Why am I reading computer related magazines? Yes, to get information, but, to see what is going on out there in Computer-Land. You just never know what lies around the corner. I heard of a device that even if your PC is turned off, someone can turn it on from another location. Now, this was a long time ago. I don’t even remember what it was called. The catch was that the PC had to be plugged in. I saw this take place and was instantly amazed.

Take a quiz to see how you are on Security. Click the link below for the article on being a Security Wizard:

I know, this is a post in the blog, but, I thought it just fits in with this post.

More to come in Part 2.

Different shapes, sizes and uses

Computers are being used in many ways these days. I just met my wife at an appointment she had and I was fascinated with some of the systems I saw while at the doctor’s office. I am not going to go into the detail of the type of system except to say that regardless of the uses, they still have monitors, keyboards, mouses and disk drives. Many uses, but, but in a way they are all still the same, just different shapes, sizes and uses. Whenever I am somewhere and I see new systems, I always get lured to them.
