is happy but worn out.
Are you a computer user? If so, today’s post is aimed squarely at that bullseye on your forehead. Tech people already know the list below by heart, but the common user seems to be oblivious to the following 10 tips on how to get better tech support. This list was put together by me based [...]
For as long as I’ve been with this company they have been using only Dell computers and servers. Recently though our parent company has decided that all companies under it’s umbrella must start purchasing and using HP computers and servers. I don’t mind HP at all but this shift in hardware was not thought out [...]
I had a user setting up his notebook at the last second in a conference room full of expectant visitors. When his notebook wouldn’t connect to the room’s built-in projector it seems that he went and grabbed our nice Dell portable projector. When that didn’t work and the meeting was two minutes overdue to start, [...]
I… I am weak. I’ve reactivated my World of Warcraft account. After almost a year of not playing, I finally got drawn back in. Well, Yoshi had a lot to do with that. He’s evil like that. He’s such an enabler. And now I’m trying to get Muse to re-activate her account. *sigh*

Then Muse left me [...]

The whole idea is that it gives you [...]
Let’s say you are a hardware manufacturer and you send out samples of the product you are selling for the journalists to review. Obviously you would want to send out the best product you have and make damn sure it’s flawless, stable and sellable. That’s a given. But there are some companies out there that [...]
The computer gods truly are pissed off at me for some reason. I’m not sure what I’ve done to annoy them but I wish they would get over it. I’ve had no impure thoughts about Macs. I’ve felt no sinful urges to install Linux, lately. I properly drool over the newest video cards and bow [...]
I still don’t really know what exploded in my computer last month. And it still basically works. Basically that is until I tried to use my new Ideazon Merc Stealth keyboard.
