By popular demand (well, there was at least one request) this blog was started with the intention of giving practical computing advice.
Here’s what I believe makes this blog unique:
- I actually don’t like computers that much, so I focus on getting the job done as easily as possible. To put it another way, I view computers as a tool or a means to an end and I focus on achieving the desired result with a minimum of fuss. This is not a geek’s blog that revels in the glories of the latest quad-core CPU with Kryptonite semiconductors and cooled by water containing bioluminescent organisms.
- I have a fair bit of experience in giving computing advice to people who aren’t technically inclined.
- I have limited means (feel free to improve that situation via the tip jar in the sidebar), so I principally focus on free ways of doing things.
You’re welcome to contact me if you have any computing questions: I cannot promise that I will be able to provide an answer and I cannot promise when I’ll be able to provide an answer, but I’ll do my best.
Three things that you need to know:
1. Fixing problems on your computer from a distance is somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible, but questions along the lines of “How do I do X?” or “What software will do Y?” or “How can a computer help me with Z?” are a lot easier to answer. I’m not a technician.
2. Most of my blogging efforts go into my main blog so I cannot promise frequent postings here and I may not be able to respond quickly to your comments and other contacts. However, I think you’ll find that the wait (if any) is worthwhile 
.
3. Advice is given on an “all care and no responsibility” basis. If I can’t help you or the advice turns out to be wrong please remember that I’m providing a free service. In other words, please don’t come crying to me if, after following my advice, your computer turns into a robot that likes to eat small children for breakfast.
