We have found the perfect high sierra backpacks for the kids to use come the last week of August when they all go back to school. It’s hard to believe that their summer vacation is coming to a screeching halt here real soon. As much as they can get on our nerves when they are out of school when they get either a bit on the hyper side or when they loudly proclaim “I’m bored!” I really do find myself missing them soon after they have gone back. And these are just my brothers and sisters, I don’t have any kids of my own, yet.
Never Too Old to Learn
I have to tell you that I really thought that you had to be an IT in order to gain remote access to a computer, I mean every place that I ever worked at, if you had problems with your desk computer you called Tech Support and they somehow always managed to gain remote access to the darn thing and before you knew it, all was running smooth once again. Well usually that was the case any way. I always wondered how they could do that, but never thought to ask.
I was having issues with my laptop over the week end and was crying to blues to a friend when she told me that her cousin was a whiz with computers and could help me if I allowed her to gain remote access to it. That really through me for a loop and got my curiosity up and running.
After my computer was acting better, a shout out to my friend’s cousin by the way, I went online and looked around a bit on the subject of remote access and found that anyone can get the software that is needed to safely gain access to another computer. Remotepc.com has the means to securelyand quickly access your Internet enabled computer, whether it be at work or home. They even have a demo that is worth the time to check out and learn from if you feel the need to learn more as I did. Now I know!
Education
I’ve been thinking about going back to school, but I can’t decide what classes I would like to take. And I don’t want to do this on the Internet, I want to experience going back into the classroom and being able to discuss things with actual people. You would think that I wouldn’t have any desire to be around people after working with the general public as much as I do, already being in the bar tending trade and all. But I really feel the need to be able to feed, I guess you could say, off of other people’s ideas and suggestions.
I hated school when I was younger, it is such a shame that youth is wasted on the young. I really think that at this point in my life I could really concentrate and do a good job, if I set my mind to it.
I guess going to the website of our local community college would be a good idea to see what courses are being offered and maybe take it from there, see if anything catches my eye.
Buying a new small 7″ laptop
I’ve been in the market for a new laptop and I have found one that I think will do the trick that I have ordered online from Wal-Mart today. It is an Everex 7″ CloudBook, a very portable laptop that I will be able to tuck in my back pack or hand bag and take practically every and anywhere that I go. I’ll be able to use it almost anywhere for personal and business usage, and even take it to class or the library for making notes. It only weighs a little over 2 pounds and I can’t wait to get an email telling me that it has arrived at the store and then I can go pick it up and get the initialization process over with and see how this baby drives!
I saved the shipping and handling charges that would have been $9, by having it sent to the store, instead of being delivered to my home address, I like that policy. I’ll let you know how this little laptop handles when I get it all figured out. I’m a bit nervous, I’m not the best when it comes to all these electronic gadgets and I’m sure I’ll be needing to call either one of my sisters or my brother for assistance, but I’ll give it a try and see what happens.
