It seems fitting that one of my first posts should be a rant – I'm an opinionated person so you'll be seeing more rants from me. Probably a lot of them.
Spoiler Alert: This rant may reveal details of last night's Lost TV Show episode, so if you haven't seen it yet and don't want to know what happened, quit reading now. Yes quit right now.
Like most Geeks (and I use that term very affectionately), I am often called upon to provide Tech Support, primarily to my non-geek family, friends, and friends-of-friends. Seems that when those who are not very computer savvy find out that I am "good with computers", they generally always ask if I can "help them out with a problem they are having"……I'm sure all you geeks who may be reading this are nodding your heads with empathy……and if you want to know WHY I take the time to help them, read my "About" Page…..back to the comment my friend made….
SO when this friend recently asked for help with her Outlook program, I quickly pulled up a Word Doc I had created for someone else who also had just that problem, and printed it off for her. She commented that there were probably other people with the same problem who would benefit from that document – and that if they could find it, they wouldn't have to ask a friend to help them, or worse, suffer with the problem.
Which made me think – over the years I have acquired quite an arsenal of advice, tips, tricks, and fixes (like most geeks). I've tried all kinds of software and hardware, and have opinions on what people should use or skip, and what they should do (or not do) with their computers. So if putting that "out there" for others to find can help out just ONE other fellow geek who would then be spared that "tech support" call, it's worth it.
So here I am in my own little corner of the internet. My site is brand new, but I hope you'll come back to visit as I continue to add content. Drop me a line if you have suggestions or feedback!
