Did you know…..

Welcome back!

There are a lot of different types of check out registers that can be used at a business? There bar code scanners, POS systems, and other things.

Some of these systems will automatically keep track of what is being sold, and will tell you when something needs to be restocked, and then there are other……..

In other words, blah, blah, blah into infinity. I never knew there were so many different ways that people could spend money and the retailer can keep track of what is being sold and when it should be re-ordered.

I was told, growing up that computers would help to make things easier and simpler.

DUH, I don’t think so.~~~~~~~~ That is paperwork, friends. Computers have made paperwork even more essential. :)

Transferring

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

I am not transferring to another country (in spite of Obamacare), or to another school (I have been out of school for decades).

I have been transferring information from one computer to another. Oh joy….NOT. I need a flash drive. At least that is what my brother-in-law who is a computer dude, says. He says that I can put all of the information onto the flash drive, and then zip it into my other computer and then go to town.

Where do I find one? :) (smiley face with hope)

Computers ARGH!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I have 2 computers.

They are scheming together to drive me nuts. Yes, they are!

One is running out of available memory, the other is refusing to send out any e-mails. Why? I have NO IDEA. They are driving me nuts.

When things get tough computer wise, I just remember…they were designed by human beings to drive other human beings crazy. :)

Yup, that’l do it for sure.

Had an emergency

Monday, December 28th, 2009

We had an emergency tonight and I got some things on the blog messed up.

One of our very close neighbors got taken to the emergency room tonight. When they were done with him after some breathing treatments and shot and meds, he was released. Well, eleven at night is not the time to need a ride from one town to another.

I took off from the computer screen to get him and when I got back, I fouled up something that I was writing. Oh well………………..DELETE sure does come in handy sometimes. I guess that electronics can be more forgiving than paper at times. :)

Who do you talk to?

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Maybe I should have said, how do you talk to people?

On the phone is a popular way to talk, in person is also good. I also talk online to my brother-in-laws, yes, more than one that is. I know that some will need live chat software for their laptops, others will need new programs for their desk tops. Do people still use desktop computers?

I do, do not have any laptop. Of course, I have learned how to do a lot of talking with only my nouth. I do sometimes get into trouble though. At least when I type it on the keyboard, I have time to think before typing and can delete.

You do not want to know how many times I delete things because of typos. That is another story. :)

Still here

Friday, September 25th, 2009

I am still here. I just went through some interesting things with my computer. I learn a little each day. Hopefully the computer survives what I do to it.

Some programs….well, lets just say that my experimenting sometimes has unfortunate results. I won’t dance around about it, although Dansko shoes should help even me to dance, I messed up. Erased somethings that I did not want to have erased.

With the help of my brother-in-law Ed, things are basically back to good operating condition. Here’s hoping that I learn and don’t mess up again. :)

I Have A Problem

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Yes, I do have a problem. My computer is slowing down. It is supposed to have a 10GB hard drive. However, the memory availability is down to only 4%. OWWWW

Something is absorbing the memory and I do not know how to get the unnecessary out, or what it is. I know that I can get a different hard drive that will have more memory, I just do not want to lose the items that I have stored right now.

Picky aren’t I? :)

I know that there are things that can be done. Like getting a ddr3, using memory sticks, new drive…..yada, yada, yada. I just do not know how to do these things. Anybody have any advice out there in internet land? It might help this basically analog person keep blogging. HELP!

I’ve been playing

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

I have been playing around with my computer. When it was given to me, I started to learn how to use it. Never had a handbook to know what to do.

Just learned about defragging the computer to help with removal of unnecessary stuff. I’ve been doing the disc cleanup and have C Cleaner. It makes me think that maybe some industrial supplies might come in handy to get done what I need done.

The only trouble is that I do not know which files and programs are not needed and which ones are. ??? How do I find that out? Oh yeah, also found out about using the refresh in the system tools. Very handy since I accidentally wiped out the games that came with the computer. :)

Computer Stuff

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Have you ever noticed how confusing that computer stuff can be? There is the tower, the keyboard, the mouse, the monitor, external hard drive, the software, the wires, the…….OY VEY.

I am still learning here. I still believe in the old process of hard copy. Now people have hard drives. I remember when….wait a minute! That is what my grandma used to say. Am I showing my age here? I think so. I still like to have things on paper for just in case. You have heard of old ‘Justin’ haven’t you? Just in case the electric goes out, just in case water gets on something, just in case - well you must get the idea by now. I have seen how some new cars have a keyboard on their sides in order for the person to get access to the car. What does the person do when the car is covered with ICE? I dunno, computers still have their uses, other wise I could not be doing this right now could I?

Something

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

There are times that I do not seem to have anything to write, but I want to put something down. Some times my thoughts are scattered and hard to focus.

Trying to make logical statements, when I am human and most definitely not a logical being can sometimes by interesting. Some times my fingers seem to dance on the keyboard and my thoughts flow out without any trouble. Then there are the other times. OY VEY ! I know that logic is possible after all humans did design computers. Please ignore the snickers that you hear in the background. I realize that computers do have their problems. i suffered through the bad experience of having a worm get into my computer. It finally told me that I did not have permission to turn it off ! Of all the nerve. That is where the power button came in handy. Or I could have unplugged it. Well, any way logic is possible.

I have my moments. doesn’t everyone? I just wish that ‘my moments’ would come more often. Wouldn’t that be nice?
