• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

Thanks for posting this, techpaul. I really needed reminding life can be good. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost.
Have a good day.

paulandrewrussell,
“Sometimes it’s easy to get lost.”
What a sentence! Six simple words…
Our modern world can feel overwhelming — hectic; information overload; too many choices; etc.. and it seems there’s never enough hours in the day. (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may…)
I have said here before, and now is a good time to repeat, one of the best things I ever did for myself was stop watching TV.
(Though I kind of miss House…)
Take a class. Read a book. Plant a rose bush. Perform an act of random kindness.
Make your life extraordinary.

Paul Thanks for this. Comments well said by both of you.
I have that movie, one of my fav. This is a reminder to take the time watch it again, as well as take out the book, of Walt Whitman poetry, Leaves Of grass.
“sometimes it’s easy to get lost” so true.

Gaia,
Always a pleasure to see you here.
When I was young and dumb, I was required to read Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, and didn’t get anything out of it. I was not then, and am not now, a “poetry guy”. But now that I am older, I know my time was not wasted completing my reading assignment.
Nothing shatters ignorance like reading books.
