Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred
Technology Update
Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.
How to Maintain your Computer
William Robinson asked:
Being a computer technician pays nice money and has for a very long time. Why?well,mainly becuase alot of new computer owners fail to learn how to use and maintain there new computer. Before purchasing my first computer back in 1998,I took an 8 hour class on the basics of operating a windows 95 system based computer..Even with the class,within the first few months,I had crashed the computer 3 times. This gives you somewhat of an idea about what we have here today..Alot of people now are getting computers becuase there friends have one,or to just get into the chat rooms,or the adult sites..point being..they dont know how to use a computer,much less maintain one.
To save yourself alot of money and unneedless trips to the computer shop for repairs,there are a series of very simple steps you can take to keep your new computer running fast and efficient. Myself,I have windows xp home edition running on my computer. I find it to be the best system out there at the moment.The choice is of course yours as to what operating system you install on your machine. When you get your new computer home and you configure an internet connection,the first thing I recommend that you do is to get to the windows update site. The site will automatically update your new operating system with files to prevent people on other computers from accessing your data. Next step is to install an anti-virus and spyware program on your computer.
If your buying a new computer from a big outlet,this is usually included with your purchase but not always.Make sure to inquire about this when purchasing your computer. Both these programs,the anti-virus and the anti-spyware are a must have in todays computer age..You can get good information from google(http://www.google.com}. Just type in anti-virus in the search box..you will get choices for alot of programs..same for the anti-spyware.
Over time,you will visit alot of websites..Most of these sites has what are called “cookies”.These are little embedded packages of data(files),that the sites you have visited leave on your computer to track your browsing habits. After awhile,these files need to be purged,deleted from your computer.
Other files that need to be purged at least once a week,are your temporary internet files and your history files. Failing to do this will really slow down your computer to a crawl and possibly cause a system crash,meaning you will have to re-install your operating system.
When you open up internet explorer,at the top left of the page,you will see options..Look for the Tools option.Left click “Tools”,then left click “Internet Options”.From there it should be straight foward for you.After you have deleted your temporary internet files and history files,click “OK” I do this at least once a day,really keeps my computer running fast.
Now im going to share with you,some things you can do about whats inside of your computer “the case”or your computers “hardware”. No matter how clean the surroundings where you have your computer placed,over time,alot of dust and particles gather on the inside..your motherboard,inside the power supply,on your cpu,all your cards”video,sound,ect.” I clean the inside of my computer every 3 months and I recommend all new users do it also.
Here is how to do it: First,before you do anything,make sure the computer is unplugged from the outlet and is completely turned off! Next is to get a screwdriver for those little round screws you will need to undo to get inside your case. When both sides of the case are removed,you will need a can of compressed air..you can buy this from any computer store for under 5 dollars. You then spray all the areas inside the case..you will see the dust and dirt flyng off from the places you sprayed. Doing this 4 times a year(every 3 months)Is a great way to save alot of money and keep your computer running like its brand new.
I hope you all have enjoyed my computer tips.
Sincerely, William

Microsoft MCSE Courses In Interactive Format Examined
Jason Kendall asked:
Considering an MCSE? Then it’s likely that it’s likely you’ll come into one of two categories: You could already be in IT and you need to formalise your skill set with the Microsoft qualification. Or this could be your first step into the computer world, and research demonstrates that there’s a growing demand for certified networking professionals.
When looking into computer training companies, make it a policy to avoid those who reduce their costs by failing to use the current Microsoft version. This will only hamper the trainee as they will have been learning from an out-of-date syllabus which doesn’t match the existing exam programme, so they’ll probably fail. Don’t rush into buying a course for MCSE before you feel comfortable. Look for a training company who will put effort into advising you on an appropriate training track for your requirements.
A fatal Faux-Pas that potential students often succumb to is to focus entirely on getting a qualification, rather than starting with the desired end-result. Universities have thousands of direction-less students who chose a course based on what sounded good – in place of something that could gain them their end-goal of a job they enjoyed. It’s common, for instance, to get a great deal of enjoyment from a year of study and then find yourself trapped for decades in something completely unrewarding, as an upshot of not doing the correct research when it was needed – at the start.
It’s essential to keep your focus on where you want to get to, and create a learning-plan from that – don’t do it back-to-front. Stay on target – making sure you’re training for a job you’ll enjoy for years to come. Our recommendation would be to take advice from a skilled professional before making your final decision on a particular study programme, so you can be sure that the specific package will give the skills necessary.
We need to make this very clear: Always get full 24×7 instructor support. Later, you’ll kick yourself if you don’t follow this rule rigidly. Email support is too slow, and so-called telephone support is normally just routed to a call-centre which will take the information and email an instructor – who will then call back sometime over the next 24hrs, when it suits them. This is no good if you’re stuck with a particular problem and have a one hour time-slot in which to study.
As long as you look hard, you will find professional companies who recommend and use online support 24×7 – including evenings, nights and weekends. If you fail to get yourself direct-access round-the-clock support, you’ll quickly find yourself regretting it. You may not need it late in the night, but you may need weekends, early mornings or even late evenings at some point.
A service offered by some training providers is a programme of Job Placement assistance. This is to assist your search for your first position. But don’t place too much emphasis on it – it isn’t unusual for eager sales people to make it sound harder than it is. In reality, the huge shortage of staff in this country is what will make you attractive to employers.
Ideally you should have CV and Interview advice and support though; and we’d recommend all students to update their CV as soon as they start a course – don’t procrastinate and leave it until you’ve graduated or passed any exams. You might not even have passed your first exam when you will be offered your first junior support position; but this can’t and won’t happen unless your CV is with employers. The top companies to get you a new position are generally specialist locally based employment services. Because they make their money when they’ve found you a job, they’ll work that much harder to get a result.
A big frustration of various course providers is how much students are prepared to study to get qualified, but how little effort that student will then put into getting the role they have acquired skills for. Get out there and hustle – you might find it’s fun.
There is a tidal wave of change washing over technology as we approach the second decade of the 21st century – and it only gets more exciting every day. We’re only just starting to scrape the surface of how technology is going to shape our lives. Computers and the Internet will significantly transform how we view and interact with the world around us over the coming years.
A standard IT worker throughout Britain will also earn considerably more money than employees on a par in much of the rest of the economy. Mean average remuneration packages are amongst the highest in the country. It’s no secret that there is a considerable UK-wide need for trained and qualified IT technicians. Also, as growth in the industry shows little sign of contracting, it looks like there’s going to be for a good while yet.
