Thursday – Tech Tie-togethers
Tie-togethers? Maybe I need another cup of coffee..? Time is limited today, but I want to take a minute and make you, Dear Reader, aware of a couple of items..
• Yesterday I wrote about social networking and the Internet and the concept of privacy. I failed to mention in that article (see, One More Reason I Don’t Facebook) the popular How To article I posted some back for those who have joined sites, like Facebook, but now want to completely un-join, and get your information removed. That article is here, How To Remove Your Name From Search Engines and Social Networking Sites.
“If you are serious about protecting your identity and personal security, you should take actions now to block your personal information from public viewing.“

Today’s reading reco: 10 workplace blunders to avoid at all costs
“Career not taking off the way you expected? The reason might lie in some of your on-the-job behavior. Steve Tobak runs through a few things NOT to do at work.” Read more..
(Personally, I do not see why these are limited to “workplace”.. well, a few; but the rest strike me as allatimealways “rules”.)
Today’s free download: You’ve heard me say it: stay safe – keep your software up to date! Update Checker (from download site FileHippo) will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases. These are then neatly displayed in your browser for you to download. (A good review of this utility is here: Free FileHippo Update Checker – Excellent Alternative To Secunia PSI)
Today’s quotable quote: “My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.” ~ Indira Gandhi

• 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.
