I’ve been back at blogging for a few weeks now (at the time of this writing) and already I’ve received an offer from a company to do a giveaway contest. I don’t know if my SEO (search engine optimization) voodoo is just that good, or if it’s from my tie-in with Google Adsense, but it’s…
Geeking Out at Work
Work has been crazy lately. I am a project manager, and as I’ve mentioned before I’m not actually part of any IT department in my company. I don’t on paper have any sort of an IT job. I work for the Operations division in Management and I am over several projects and I work on several…
Not Just Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt: WikiLeaks Releases Stratfor E-mails
Yesterday’s phone call didn’t pan out, but I sent a late e-mail to let them know the bad news about their computer. In case you missed what I’m talking about, I mentioned it here. I got a fairly quick e-mail reply, but no tears. It seems the employee whose computer I was working on no…
Non-economical Repair
Working with people always has its advantages and its disadvantages, much as you’d expect. I fancy myself a misanthrope. It’s hard to run a business if you can’t deal with people. Right now, I’ve got a computer in my possession that’s past its expiration date by a long shot. I absolutely hate to admit defeat…

I don’t know about you, but in my resolve to “cut the cable” and ditch my Dish Network subscription (it’s been since last July since we last had satellite service) I’ve been missing the ability to watch live local channels. I don’t actually miss the local news and weather, I get that on my phone…
Fix It: My Computer Won’t Turn On!
Your computer won’t turn on. You press the power button… nothing. You wiggle the mouse, tap a few keyboard keys… nothing. Your monitor says “No Signal” or something similar. OH. EM. GEE. Don’t Panic Freaking out, throwing the computer out the window, or hitting or kicking your computer when it won’t turn on will mostly…
Find Almost Any Song Ever for Free
If you want to get just about any song ever, do a Google search like this one: Just replace the artist and song name with your choice. If you want an album instead of a song, just replace the song name with the name of the album instead. Look for files with larger sizes if…
Fix a Slow Windows PC
Just about anyone who uses Microsoft Windows has at some point or another reached the pinnacle of frustration and cried out “THIS COMPUTER IS TOO DAMN SLOW!” For some people, this means “dealing with it” until they can afford a new computer, or they pay someone to come fix it. In most cases,…
