I’ve always used lots of keyboard shortcuts and I’m kinda narked when one doesn’t exist or is inconvenient (the Control-F4 for closing windows is one that I think is a pain). I’m surprised how often people don’t use shortcuts in their day to day work. It really speeds up tasks (like writing) if you just […]
You know, adding humor into your life is probably one of the best work pimps we can suggest. If you can’t laugh at the silliness of work sometimes, well you better keep that bottle of Maloxx handy.

One of the most important things you can do to keep your computer, and applications, safe and happy is to keep it updated. Back in the day, when the Internet was young and I was doing tech support, finding updates wasn’t fun or easy. We pretty much had to do a lot of the work […]

When we last left off, I’d set up a dual-boot partition for XP and Windows Vista. It went pretty well, I was able to use both XP and Vista. But no matter how hard I tried and using all the tips and tricks I found, I still couldn’t get the audio to work in the […]
