A Picture a Day

February 27, 2011 By Robert Owen

Traffic on the insterstate

I'm gonna try something new to keep myself posting.  I'm going to post a "picture a day".  Let's see how long I can keep it up.  Want to take any bets on how long it will last?  I'm not actually off to a very good start.  I had intentions on starting this last Monday (2/21/2011), I even took some pictures during the week but, as you can see, I didn't get them posted.  So, I'll play catch up now and start fresh tomorrow.  :oops: … [Read more...]

Site of the week: Let Me Google That for You

February 20, 2011 By Robert Owen

Let me Google that for you

Picture it,  you're working hard on a project - totally focused on... whatever.  And somebody says... "Hey, [insert your name here],  how many days are there in February?"  ...  or, they say something like: "Yo, [insert name here],  what is the capital of Wisconsin?"  or even maybe something like:  "Hey, [your name here again], where can I find the world's largest ball of yarn?"

Now, I know this … [Read more...]

Clear Lost Content Adviser Password

February 14, 2011 By Robert Owen

Got an interesting from a friend out of a while back. In her e-mail she asked: My dad, who is 67 and knows nothing about a computer – nothing – is trying to operate my late mother’s Dell, so that he can use the internet. The problem is, Mom had put so many content blocks on it with parental controls that he can’t even get to the google. It prompts him for a password. I have no idea what this password is, and I was able to talk him through to get to the Tools/Internet Options/Content tab … [Read more...]
