thoughts and musings ... odds and endsTags: computers02 November 2008 Word association! Quick - What comes to mind? Big…Heavy…Animal(istic)…Vicious fighters? Nope! We’re not gonna talk about big foot stomping chunky wrestlers in little thongy kinda things (I’m sure you’ve got a great visual going now don’t you? Don’t answer - I don’t want to know…) or humongous African animals floating in the river and their pounding charges after safari tourists. We’re gonna talk software update monitoring. Now that’s an exciting topic don’t you think? 30 October 2008 I’ve been wondering when it would happen, and wondering what was amassing n the meantime. I’ve had it for ages now - and who was cleaning up after it? 21 October 2008 Ever wonder what you’d do if you had to reinstall your OS (Operating System)? How in the world would you get all those programs you’ve installed back on? How would you even remember what they were? Ever been asked about some hardware component you have on your machine and you have no idea what you might have? Well there’s an easy and free way to find all this information and more! 16 October 2008 While doing some research the other night, I stumbled on Telegraph.UK’s Bootcamp Archive. This series of 550+ articles (going back to 2002) covers virtually anything you might think of in this multi-media age. Take a gander at the list and I bet you’ll find something or other you wanted to learn more about. If you’re like me you’ll start with one article and a hours later you’ll realize just how much easy to understand knowledge this site has to offer. 30 August 2008 One of the most frustrating things about doing spyware and virus scans is the amount of time it takes to run the many different programs. I realize you may not choose to run them all every week, as I do, but still it is a big time investment to do them. I’m not the most patient person in the world, and watching a scan is not my personal favorite thing to do either. But, it’s one of those necessary evils to keep one’s machine clean and free of malware. One task you can do to help speed the process is some basic cleanup before you start your scans. This way, there are less files on your computer for the programs to search through looking for any malware on your machine. 19 August 2008 I like to imagine I’m on the cutting edge (…oh be quiet and let me dream will you?) So I was quite pleased when I got buzzed the other day at work and our V.P says "Hey - would you like to see a cool virus?" And of course my answer took less than a split second "Sure!" 14 August 2008 Agent 007, you have been assigned Mission Possible. Should you choose to accept it, your goal is to search out and destroy the truly nasty of the nastiest malware on your computer. This mission is easier than you think with Spybot Search & Destroy in your bag of tricks. 09 August 2008 The cost of a good computer can vary depending upon the uses you plan for it. However, in general, the cost of a computer for the average user has come down over the years. If you’re not obsessed with having the biggest and best machine out there, you can get deals on some very adequate laptops and desktops. Many people see these as an extravagance, and don’t stop to think about the full frugal potential of computers. |
