Let’s say I set your pants on fire. Why? Doesn’t matter, that’s why. So this is a problem. Worst case, you will get a little too hot, and then… be kind of cold forever. You know, because you are dead. Best case, you stop, drop and roll like your life depends on it and just … →

Today, we are going to talk about yaks. More specifically, shaving yaks. I am speaking, of course, about metaphorical yaks. Much less messy that way, you understand. I came across the term “yak shaving” a few days ago. I find it a particularly useful phrase, because it gives me words to describe a concept that … →

Guess what? Sometimes, I am tired. And sometimes, I am very energized. And the weird thing is, I don’t seem to have control over when I feel tired and when I feel energized. But it heavily impacts what I can do at any given moment. Energy States I call them energy states. Because, well… that … →

I have noticed a pattern over time. Most people don’t set their BIOS passwords. But every once and a while, I come across somebody who did set a BIOS password. That isn’t surprising, though. Most people have no idea what the BIOS is. What is surprising is that none of these people seem to know … →

Usually when you cannot get windows to boot up properly, it is worth trying safe mode. However, sometimes getting to safe mode is a bit tricky, such as when windows fails to boot even before you have the option to go to safe mode. In hindsight, the odds of safe mode fixing such a problem … →

NOT. Installing Windows isn’t a piece of cake. The cake is a lie! Why do I say that? Well, because Windows installs have not been going well for me recently. It all started with this message: Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation … →

You know what’s fun? Not calling tech support, that’s for sure. I have coincidentally ended up calling tech support much more often than usual the last few days. It is bad enough to do it once, but after having it done several times, I see the same pattern over and over again. It goes something … →

So there I was, making a website. Well, actually, I was remaking a website. It was on a drag-and-drop website builder platform, and was being moved to another platform. Why? None of your business, that’s why. Just kidding. It is because bluehost sucks. A lot. If you have a choice between rubbing a pinecone on … →
