Cope With Tech - by Eric John Emberda

Question Dear Tech Support: Help!! Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting software; severely limiting access to wardrobe, flower and jewelry applications that operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalls many other valuable programs such as DinnerDancing 7.5, CruiseShip 2.3, and OperaNight 6.1 and installs new, undesirable programs such as PokerNight 1.3, Saturday Football 5.0, Golf 2.4 and Clutter Everywhere 4.5. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and invariably crashes the system. Under no circumstances will it run DiaperChanging 14.1 or HouseCleaning 2.6. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix Husband 1.0, but this general purpose utility is of limited effectiveness. Can you help, please!!!!

Dear Tech Support Team: Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child-processes that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities. Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3 , Basketball 5.0 , BeerWithBuddies 7.5, and Outings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected. I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0, but the 'uninstall ' doesn't work on Wife 1.0 . Please help! Thanks, "A Troubled User " REPLY: Dear Troubled User: This is a very common problem that people complain about. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EV...

Sometimes we want to access our Windows workstations remotely to be able to see our data. If the workstation is connected to the Internet, doing such is relatively easy in Windows XP with Remote Desktop. Just hit "run" and type "mstsc". Type the ip address and some credentials, and you're done. However, some Internet service providers assign you with a private IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.24). This cannot be seen over the Internet and thus, doesn't allow you to connect to your remote workstation. There is a workaround for this for those who don't know yet. Hamachi is a windows application that allows connectivity through a Virtual Private Network. It's like having your own Local Area Network over the Internet. It's virtually zero configuration so it's relatively easy to use. Click here to download. Once you've installed it, you will be assigned an IP address. You can then create your own network of trusted workstations, from which you add...

What if IT people can have their own private network over the Internet? What if we can have our very own static IP address without having a subscription to Internet Service Providers? What if we can create our own Hamachi without having a central server? Just let the network reside over the network. What if the Internet fully becomes another autonomous world free from the rules within our own countries? What if I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN ?

Attending business summits and conferences is a big help to those who belong to the quite "techy" (technological or technical) industry. Being a graduate of one, I had less knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. Enrolling myself in business administration gave me quite the knowledge to be a part of the business world and thus improve my entrepreneurial skills. I now would like to share this information that I got familiar with (and I managed to get a copy of the entire process from the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress): How to Register a Business Name (in the Philippines) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SINGLE PROPRIETORSHIP Applicant must secure 2 copies of registration form and pay Php 300.00 (rate may change) for single proprietorship registration processing fee. The registration shall be valid for five (5) years. A surcharge of Php 100.00 is imposed if renewal is filed beyond the three (3) month grace period, c...

One of the many factors that would make your website stand out is the Photos. Photos add color and life to your website. There are stock photos readily available for your use. Some are royalty free, and some for a small fee. Just as there are talents behind designing websites, there would also be talents behind these photos. It's good to know that I know someone of this caliber. I would personally recommend her works. She posts some of her works here .
