Please stand by…optimizing
You know these things, right? The hourglass in Windows, the spinning color wheel on the Mac – all signs that your computer is doing important stuff, right? Well, it happened to me last night in the middle of, well….nothing really, I was just surfing the web, reading some of my daily hits. Whenever I get these kinds of messages, it’s a sign to me that things need to be cleaned up. I’ve installed too many trial programs for testing – my working drive is getting cluttered. I’ve not re-booted in a few days. We all know the drill, and we … Continue reading

The reason behind the new flow is due to many listener questions asking a wide variety of questions, ranging from hardware questions to software questions, technical questions, work flow questions and the like. So, in the interests of providing answers to each of the wide subject matter areas, here’s the new schedule: Monday: Hardware – I’ll take a look at hardware components, … Continue reading
Facelift Friday
With February now in the archives, I figured this may be as good a time as any to get a head start on some Spring Cleaning with the blog. The theme I had been using for the last year or two had been getting a little dated, and the designer has not issued any updates since 2007.

Those of you on the blog, you can see what I am … Continue reading
Maintenance Monday (and a book review…kind of)
Hey all, it’s been a busy couple of days for the blog. I’ve been doing some research and maintenance on the blog to try and keep things interesting and to hopefully let more people know about the articles, essays, tips, tricks, techniques, and such that I’ve been sharing now for the past 9 months.

So, after some research and … Continue reading
