When it comes to listening to music while I’m on the road, I pretty much only use my simple 4gb mp3 player. The thing was really cheap, and it only does one thing: play music. No video player, no voice recording feature, nothing else. Just play music. I’ve briefly considered getting an iPod touch last [...]
I pretty much only use RSS feeds when it comes to keeping myself in the loop about daily events and new technologies. Since I’m glued all day in front of a screen, this is probably the most efficient way to do this. But what about you, dear readers? How does technology keep you in the [...]
Having a single computer in a home where multiple geeks live can become problematic at certain times, so this year, the main gadget on my holiday wish list is an iPad or an Android-based tablet. We do have a Netbook at home, but the thing is so slow that the simple thought of booting it [...]
Today, we’ve got another quick question for all you IT geeks out there: On a typical day, what application or task is, for you, the biggest challenge to manage on a network and why? Is it something that requires you working off business hours? Be sure to let us know in the comments section below!
Today dear readers, we’ve got a quick question to ask you: What’s the biggest IT security worry for your business and how are you addressing it? As far as I’m concerned, my biggest security worry is probably related to managing how users access the Internet at the office, limiting what they can and cannot do [...]
As far as I’m concerned, one of the things that gives me the biggest headache when it comes to network maintenance, is probably everything related to patch management. Oh, we do have an awesome patch management solution where I work, but the whole thing is still driving me insane occasionally. Patches breaking operating systems, patches [...]
As a Sysadmin and do-it-all kind of IT guy, I unfortunately still have to manage printers at the office on a daily basis. And the one thing that probably annoys me the most about managing printers is the user factor. How many time do I get called to fix paper jam issues, or just to [...]
Today dear readers, we’ve got a quick question to ask you: What happens to an employee’s digital files when they leave the company where you work at? What about yours – do you take yours with you? We’d love to hear all about it, so be sure to let us know by leaving a comment [...]
Today dear readers, we’ve got a quick question to ask you: Do you use your bank’s smartphone or cell phone app? If you do, can you tell us why, and if you don’t, why not? We’d love to hear about it, so be sure to let us know by leaving a comment in the comments [...]
As I noted a few days ago, I’m kind of lost without my smart phone, largely because I feel like I need to be connected to my email constantly. Of course, it also means that I’ve got access to all kinds of content – the whole web at my fingertips, so to speak. In my [...]
So the other day I was in an event for pretty much the entire day that – horrors of horrors – was held in a location without wireless access. I kept seeing people pulling out their phones – likely to check their email – and realized that like an idiot I had left mine in [...]
As I mentioned a few days ago, my mobile Twitter client of choice is Echofon. I also have the generic Facebook app on my phone, though I don’t use it very often. To me, Twitter lends itself much better to mobile access than Facebook, since the service itself is so streamlined. Facebook just has a [...]
