Wednesday’s Food For Thought
I only have time today to share a few item I hope you will find of interest.
I have a list, and I go through it each afternoon. I find that the more I can check off a “Yes”, the better I feel:
- did I make someone smile?
- did I answer all my mail?
- did I ride a bike, or take a walk?
- did I learn something new?
- did I do a “random act of kindness”?
- did I tackle an unpleasant chore?
- did I tidy up a mess?
- did I receive any money?
- did I “stop and smell the roses” and/or appreciate nature’s beauty?
- did I do anything nice for ME?
(I am curious.. Do you have a list like that? Does it work for you?)
Some “Tech News” items..
* The slow and steady evolution of cross-platform malware

Blowing my own horn department: Loyal readers might like to know that I have added to my already busy schedule, and now am writing for Find The Best.com, as their “resident expert” in Desktop and Laptop/Notebook PC’s.
Find The Best is a relatively new concept: a “comparison engine” (on virtually any subject or item).
FindTheBest.com | Unbiased, Data-Driven Comparisons.
“FindTheBest is an objective comparison engine that allows you to find a topic, compare your options and select the best choice for you.”

• 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.

delenn13,
Good to see you here again.
Yes, I am afraid that today’s article was on my To Do list since February, but got “back burnered” until it slipped my feeble mind altogether.
Sigh.
