A Fishing We Will Go | Some Quick Reco’s..
And Some Friday Fun
Dear Reader, for me the weekend is here. Yay!
Better yet, I am – for the first time in a very long while – taking full advantage. There has been something on my mind (which I first wrote about back in September: see, The cigar box.) and I am finally doing something about it. I am leaving today to drive up into Kallyfornyah’s Sierra Nevada mountains where I will be in ‘hot pursuit’ of this fella.
And, BION ¹, I will not be taking a laptop with me.
I am going to take a break from tech, and the Internet.
Don’t worry, though. I have written articles and scheduled them to appear just as if I were here at T4E Headquarters as per usual. (The “magic” of tech.) You won’t even know I’m “gone fishing”. In fact, I wrote this article yesterday.
Some Reading Reco’s:
* An Example of One of the Worst Email Internet Petitions
* Do you think your PC has a virus?
* Don’t Wait Until Your Hard Drive Goes “Clunk-Clunk” – Check It Out Now With These Two Free Tools
* Your data isn’t secure, don’t trust companies to keep it safe
“Our data is no longer safe in the hands of the companies we entrust to keep it that way. It’s time to take back what’s ours.”
[a brief aside: who ever assumed it was safe in the first place? Not me.]
* Top 10 tablets of 2011, the new leaderboard
Friday Fun: A word of caution.. this compilation of “fails” made me wince in sympathetic pain. Ouch!
Quote of the day: “Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say.”

• 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.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

Hey Paul,
Good things come to those who BAIT! Sorry; I couldn’t stop myself.
“If people concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles; Enjoy!”
Best,
Bob
