crash/reboot: May 2010

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 14 May, 2010. How low can you go? Just when you thought you'd found the cheapest domain registrar.someone goes and lowers the bar. This is getting ridiculous! Lots of people offer free domains if you buy into their hosting packages. But 1&1 Internet. Is taking it too far! For the month of May, they are giving one dot com away per customer. No charge. And their renewals are among the lowest in the cosmos too- a good two bucks less than GoDaddy's. Nothing for a .com domain?

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 29 July, 2015. Thanks for that, Windows 10 installer. It's new. It's here. It's better than the previous version. But if the install goes wrong, as it did on the fourth machine I tried it on, the pop-up alerts aren't quite ready yet. Thanks for that, Windows 10! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

crash/reboot: August 2010

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 25 August, 2010. I'm in the throes of writing a feature article on computer bugs at the moment. It gave me the chance to revisit an old favorite of mine from 1994. The Pentium floating point flaw was in the news at the time, and it overshadowed this little snippet. Propeller-heads tried the following math exercise instead:. Yeah, we know how lame that sounds. Remember that this was six years before the millennium. Even geek entertainment was simple back then. People there don't...

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 23 February, 2011. Skype fix is in! Except that it isn't. To revisit this issue again: The otherwise excellent Skype service really lets itself down in its public support forums. Starting around January 20th, their boards were abuzz with problems surrounding Skype 5.0's Facebook integration feature. A server setting they instituted around then caused some very irritating behavior. For Skype users in some corporate networks. Here's what Raul said on the Skype support site. I'd l...

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 07 August, 2009. Win 7 : Win Users 31. Like every other journalist who's been writing about technology for a while- and anyone else who could be bothered to download 2.6GB of beta code- I have been working with Windows 7 for six months. For the past couple of weeks, I've been working with the final code, the release-to-manufacturing code, the thing that'll be appearing on upgrade discs and new computers in a couple of months.

crash/reboot: March 2011

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 23 March, 2011. I usually slip the hard disk out of the old machine and into a USB drive reader hooked up to my production machine. Then I get all the personal data off the machine. It's usually stored in three locations:. The three folders are stored (in Vista or Windows 7) under Users or (in XP and before) Documents and Settings, in the profile of whoever uses the machine. They are Favorites (for Web sites bookmarked in Internet Explorer), Desktop, and My Documents.

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 27 April, 2009. Setting up PCs for multiple users. Here's the protocol I use for my labs. And trust me.I keep my volume of frustrated clients down to an absolute minimum. The first step in setting up a new corporate machine is to create a new user. Installer is a good name for him, as an administrator for the local machine and for the domain-based network it will hook up to. . While you're still logged in as Installer, open My Computer and disconnect all the network drives (sel...

TECH MUSINGS BY MATT LAKE. 20 October, 2010. Will dare to stop me. 05 October, 2010. Just Finish This For Me: Outlook's AutoComplete function. Just when you think you have configured a new PC to suit its new owner, along they come and say "My email addresses don't just pop up anymore! Of course they don't, I curse myself, that's because they're stored locally in the intuitively named AutoComplete File, which has the unintuitively named extension NK2. Unless, that is, you get a new PC. The deed is done!
