This series of What’s In Your Bag? has contributors opening up their own tech bags and sharing with the world actual devices that they regularly use within their own blogging and professional lives from various backgrounds all over the world. The hope is that we can give you guys some great insight into some useful tools that we already are using in the day to day.
Here is what is in my bag in the photo above from the top-left to the bottom-right:
There just two simple letters, “Y” and “N.”
For those that remember running DOS and executing programs from a command prompt (winword, anyone?), may remember answering questions by a simple “Y” or “N,” the obvious selection of yes or no.
This Tech Wreck Tuesday has a little throwback feel, as I share an experience that involves an old 286 with a monochrome monitor.
A few days ago I was asked by the Girls’ Brigade (like the Guides only more Christian!) to go and talk to the older group about all things ‘Internet’. I wanted to cover the basics of how it works and online safety (more of that in a different post coming soon!).
To explain how the Internet works (as it’s kind of complicated and confusing), I found this great video that does the job rather nicely. So I thought I’d share it on here, as I’m sure others must be asked for a simply explantion of how the interwebs does its thing…
Whether your a sound guy who forgot to mute the pastor’s mic before he went backstage or your a web admin who’s site was infected with malware and you’re at the center of a major security scandal, we’ve all had out brushes with tech-based tragedies, “tech wrecks,” if you will. What makes it worse is that when you want to vent about it, no one around you has any idea what you’re talking about, thus limiting the effectiveness of your ranting. Last Wednesday at church was a perfect example:
This is a really cool idea, especially when you consider how powerful smartphones are becoming.
An easy way to integrate your smartphone with a laptop device?
Yes, please!
Yesterday a tweet from someone I trust popped up in my timeline saying I could get 15gb free online space. To be honest, I was a bit suspect and thought his account might have been hacked – but then he tweeted again saying it was legit and that ‘Copy’ was run by the well known security company Barracuda Networks, so I took a look!
Sure enough it was true, so I signed up and so far, I’m very impressed! Continue Reading…
This infographic gave me some little LOLs.
Personally, my worst computer was a Packard Bell. I think it had a 75mHz Pentium I with about 16MB Ram. The specs weren’t bad, but as for how it performed hardware wise, it was a total FAIL.
It died after two years. :0
Here’s a look at the ten worst computers of all time!!!
If you read this blog then you’re probably: a) into tech, b) go to a church! And if you’re like me – then you’re also the church’s ‘geek in residence’(!).
With this (amazingly) important role comes a range of responsibilities including being the person that everyone calls when something goes wrong on their computer… To help with remote tech support there’s a nifty bit of software that’s free for private (non commerical) use.
