WordPerfect Lightning Beta-I’ll take a pass

I love note taking apps.  Sometimes you just want to jot something down.  So when I saw on Lifehacker a new note taking application from Corel, I thought I’d give it a whirl.
This note-management application includes four components: Navigator, a notebook-style document organizer; Viewer, which supports Word, WordPerfect and PDF documents; Notes, a basic word […]

Corporate Technology Implementation: Four tips on risk

Yesterday, I provided a great example of a company that helped many workers Pimp their Work through the implementation of technology. While the focus of the post was on how the technology makes a group of individuals more effective and efficient, the whole idea of implementing company-wide technology begs the question of what it would […]

HP provides templates and resources to help Small Biz

Although I’m more thana little pissed a HP at the moment for their lack of Vista support for older, but Vista-capable laptops, it is nice of them to provide resources for Small Biz:
One of the main attractions of the site is the Business Templates area (not surprising for a printer company), which offers about 700 […]

Even if you don’t have Vista, you have to check out these wallpapers

It might seem a little superfluous to go looking for wallpapers for your machine, but really, if you’re staring at the thing all day you should have something nice to look at.  I change my wallpapers pretty often.  Movies, nice pictures, geek babes, whatever I’m in the mood for (I had Trinty from the Matrix […]

Technology can Pimp Your Work

Sometimes, it is not the individual tip or trick that needs to be done to Pimp Your Work. Sometimes, your company needs to step up and figure it out so that everyone benefits from a productivity increase — including the company.
UPS is one of those companies. Being rolled out over the last two years, UPS […]

Wow you can rename multiple files in Windows! And it’s easy

You know somethings are so easy you just smack your head and say “Why didn’t I try that!”.  This tip for renaming files (it is shown in XP, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it might work in Vista too) is just so simple:

Highlight the files you want to rename. […]

Advanced WindowsCare Professional for Free Today Only

As you know I’ve been battling with fixing a machine for Lorraine’s bosses since Friday.  Sunday I thought it was licked and well I was wrong.  Still getting Blue Screen of Death, still unstable (rebooting and shutting down randomly).  I was getting really worried.  If I couldn’t keep the machine stable, then I couldn’t even […]

Watch That Static!

I haven’t had this happen in a looong time, but since it just happened to me, I felt I needed to post about it.
I scooted on my chair just a couple minutes, just sitting up straighter.  My hand brushed the front of my machine and…
ZAP!
Little bit of nice blue static jumped from my finger tip […]

Speed up you work with keyboard shortcuts

I’ve always used lots of keyboard shortcuts and I’m kinda narked when one doesn’t exist or is inconvenient (the Control-F4 for closing windows is one that I think is a pain).  I’m surprised how often people don’t use shortcuts in their day to day work.  It really speeds up tasks (like writing) if you just […]

Change Your Perspective to Pimp Your Work

Here’s a great one from Kevin Eikenberry in his post “What Could I Stop Doing?” -

I met with a new friend today. He is the Vice President for Business Development at a bank. He told me he made a decision about six months ago. His decision?
“I decided to stop selling banking solutions.”
He isn’t a slacker […]
