So, I guess everyone has heard about the big switch to digital television in February 2009. It seems every nightly program has a crawl that announces that the analog signal will be turned off, and you will either need a digital TV or a converter to watch broadcast television.
Well, we need a second television for [...]
I ordered a portable hard drive from Western Digital to store all of photos on. This way I can take them to any computer. Plus I can put all of my photos in one place. That will be nice for a change. Hopefully this will make it easy to find pictures.
It’s a 60 gigabyte hard [...]
One things I miss about not working in computer networking is keeping track of the latest computer products. It was always fun to research products or to find a product to meet a certain need. From buying used cisco products to finding an adequate photo software, no matter what the challenge, it was fun to [...]
Having more than one computer is great for our geeky family. It means my husband can work and I can work at the same time. It does have a downside in that sometimes there are files I need that are on the other computer. Lately I’ve been thinking that an external hard drive would be [...]
Today I ordered my husband his Father’s Day gift. He knows what he is getting and is very excited over it. Rae and I - well I guess it’s really just from Raegan - got him a new cell phone. We are changing providers and switching to Sprint just for this phone.
I guess we could [...]
I recently got the chance to try out AMD’s Personal Internet Communicator. It’s a device made by AMD that lets people connect to the Internet without a computer. All you need is a monitor and an ISP. They supply the rest. It’s a pretty neat little device. Although it is a little slower than surfing [...]
I’m not the type of person to change photos in picture frames. I usually have to cull through all the frames every couple of years. My biggest problem with switching photos is that I still want to display the photo in the frame while adding more to a room.
My solution is a digital picture frame. [...]
Rae loves to eat fruit. She especially likes it from the fruit cups. The only problem is that it is very messy when she eats it. She just dives in with both hands, sucks the juice off her hands and then crams the fruit into her mouth.
She loves the computer keyboard. So, as you can [...]
I knew my computer was loud; I just didn’t realize how loud until I booted up my parent’s new computer. The quietness of the PC made me question if it was actually on.
Although my power supply works perfectly fine, I’m now in the hunt for a new power supply. I have found one with good [...]
It is once again time to spring forward. The switch to Daylight Savings time is a little early this year. Because of this, some computers may not automatically update to the new time.
Check for the latest software patches and updates for your operating system. Apparently this will fix the time change problem. If not, you [...]
