I’ve been doing some event planning lately. Hope it works out. I’m going crazy on facebook.

Just go a new job working in Electronic testing. This job pays more and will have benefits for once. Hope everything will workout with this job. Need to save for a car.

This problem happens all the time. Everyone has downloaded the wrong file or even used a P2P client to get music, videos or software. I’ve always had to work on computers that have had this problem. So first don’t panic. Your information is still there. And you can still back things up and just reinstall windows. This is the easy way. But most of my clients want to do things the hard way.

The hard way meaning Seek and Destroy the virus. Seek and Destroy is a hard task. Never do this unless you have to. But most of my clients ask for this. So lets just get started.

I was fixing a customers computer that had windows startup errors. I just wanted to give some tips on find out what windows errors are.

Google it. Use Google to find out what your errors are. Even the most experienced tech will Google it. What comes up is mostly web forum’s, blog postings and sometimes Microsoft’s Help and Support site. That’s how I found out that he installed an old version of software I’ve never even heard of.

Now the hard part. You can find out the problem but you need to fix it. Most of the time I will find that out by Googling it. But sometimes even Google doesn’t have the answer. What I did fix it was use a registry cleaner. This will find any orphaned files. Orphan meaning there left over program files. Or even uninstalling programs that were not removed correctly. I used CCleaner.

After that I just made sure windows was starting right. That fixed the problem but I told him to use it once a month. It’s good to clean out old files that are not in use. And it saved him 5GB of space. I’m not saying this in the best program. But I would use it because it’s free and get’s the job done. Every month a new piece of software comes out. So always do your research.

This is Drake. Not totally a new artist but someone with a new song. I didn’t know he had mixtapes but listen to this song. Then you will know how great he is. I don’t know when his CD is coming out but I’ll get it ASAP. I have just been checking his Wiki and Myspace.

PS. He has other songs and CD’s. I just haven’t gotten them yet.

I’ve started to search for a new mobile phone. Doing this will take awhile. So I’ve made a list and I’ll be posting some phones and services that will be in the running to be my phone provider.

Sad that everyone has to do this because of crazy mobile phone contracts and bad services.

For the last few months I have been going on interviews at different companies. And I’ve come up with several things to look for when your about to go for the interview. Some are dirty but companies doing bad business started it.

1.Check there stock and the stocks of the people they do business with.

My last job had a company go bankrupt and I was too busy thinking everything was ok. Not to ask about our main contract going bad.

Solution: Set up and email reminder on your companies stock quotes. Google Finance is good. Or if your really in to stocks try Fool.com

2.If the company talks about competitors. There’s where you apply next.

I worked for a company and was contacted by it’s competitor. I should have taken the job at the time. But waited to long to think about it. You should research the company over the weekend. Then give them a good answer on Monday. Not forgetting the company. Then trying to find the number so you can call them back.

3.When traveling for an interview. Try to get in and out of the interview as fast as you can.

I’m not saying talk fast but when it’s time to go. Just make your closing statements then leave. Talking too much makes you look desperate. I know you need the money but short and simple. Does leave a mark.

4.Don’t stop if you have a job.

I have a job. But it’s not what I’m looking for in salary. Personally it doesn’t pay my bills. I can’t even cut back on anything. Because there’s nothing to cut back. I like what I do but it’s time for something new. For everyone else I would say fight even if your tired. I try to look thought the jobs that are emailed to me but nothing good.

5.More training is ok.

I’ve though about going back to school. School is a great idea because it’s a way for you to reinvest in yourself. Having an extra skill will make your resume pop sometimes.

Here’s my final tip.

6.Do something different. Something no one else has done.

ANYTHING…

This is Robert and I wanted to talk about a friend that’s posted some funny videos on YouTube. His name is Mike and he’s not the tradisonal comic but he’s funny. Enjoy the video.

Whenever you buy a new computer or upgrade your hard drive on your old computer. It’s good to buy a enclosure to transfer your old files. Most people think it’s hard to do but it’s easy for anyone to do.

1. What type of old Hard Drive do you have? It’s IDE or SATA.

IDE Hard Drive

Sata Hard Drive

2. How are you going to use the Enclosure? One time thing or as a backup?

One time meaning just to get your files then return the enclosure for your money back. Or using it as a backup solution. Which is a good idea for everyone. If you go the backup route then I would say use Comodo BackUp.

3. What is a good enclosure?

This depends on how you use it. If it’s for a long period of time on. Then one with a big fan or cooling solution. I try to look a the reviews before I buy. If you find one you like. Search different site on reviews. Make sure you get at least 4 different review sites. Example. Cnet.com,PCmag.com,Newegg.com, and tomshardware.com

4. Where are some good deals?

I normally go to Pricewatch.com or Newegg.com. These are sites I’ve shopped on before so I know I’m getting a good deal. The other sites I listed were just for reviews. Most of the time there selection is not as good or even close to Newegg.com.

Final Note:
This is just an overview of what to look for in enclosures. I know there is more information out there. But I just wanted to cover the basic’s. Most people I know use them to back up personal media. Not for business. If you have any question please post a comment.

I’ve been listening to thesixtyone.com and came across Mustard Empire. It’s a company that has some talented people. The a record company so Mustard Empire is not a group but just the name that there listed under. My favorite song is “drinks on me”. Hope they keep up the good work.
