I just got done smacking myself in the head lamenting all the time I’ve wasted since this thing came out in September 2006. How often do you have to open multiple browser windows? Do you go through the process of opening “site a”, “page b”, “site c”, “page d” etc. very often? Well I do. [...]

Yesterday I was at a meeting using my laptop on a very slow internet connection. During a break, I checked my e-mail, and someone had sent me some giant pictures as file attachments, which paralyzed my computer.

Knowing these ten items below could save you hours of time & aggravation, and save your businesses hundreds or even thousands of dollars. [...]

I found a code online that lets me add this feature to my Comcast remote. What I liked most about my Dish DVR was the ability to press a button and skip forward 30 seconds in a recorded program. This feature allowed me to skip commercials, which was the main benefit to recording TV programs [...]

Even though I’m online 12+ hours a day, what I DON’T know about the Myspace community is enough to fill hundreds of pages. Internet Consultant Mark Harris has written a book called My Space 4 Parents. In his downloadable Ebook, he includes six videos too, to help you understand all that he’s talking about. If [...]

Someone sent me this illustrated RAID example that I just had to share… The RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) defintions below are from WikiPedia, and they’re pretty good… There are number of different RAID levels: Level 0 — Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance: Provides data striping (spreading out blocks of each file across [...]
