Are you going to be able to access the Internet come March 8th?
Submitted by MBorsick on Sun, 02/26/2012 - 11:37pm
Most people I know are not avid readers of what goes on in the computer world and certainly even less bother to follow the computer security press and the various reports of new malware that arrive every day now. Following computer security issues as we do, it should come as no surprise that a new Trojan is becoming passé’ to the point where we have to continually remind ourselves that vigilance is vital to protecting computers, the networks they are on, and what is stored on the devices on the Internet.

Symantec Users Get Busy!
Submitted by MBorsick on Thu, 02/09/2012 - 1:52am
After a hiatus for a while because of health problems, I thought to start the New Year by getting back to keeping everyone up to date on happenings in the computer world. Today, I wanted to bring everyone up to date on things Symantec.
I do want to be upfront though. I am NOT a fan of Symantec Corporation and its products. In the beginning, the company was a very good company which did a lot of things right and well at the same time. It cared about its customers, engaged with them directly and often, and was quick to address problems with their products.

Review - Xara Designer 7

Alton Brown of Food Network’s Good Eats is fond of describing kitchen tools and appliances one should avoid as uni-taskers. His explanation for this term is in labeling those items that perform only function in the preparation of food. The same could be said of quality software as it should also serve more than one purpose in making our lives easier or in getting work done faster.

Laptop Security
Submitted by MBorsick on Sun, 04/11/2010 - 1:08pm
I thought I'd pass along these guidelines that I read recently from the Security Awareness email from the SANs Institute:
1. Make sure your security software has not expired. If it has expired, renew or replace it immediately.

Combining Embossing Powder with an Inkjet Printer
Submitted by Irene Kraus on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 7:53am
Within the crafting world, one of the hottest trends has been the combination of rubber-stamping, inks, and embossing powders. I think who ever came up with this method was inspired by something everyone did in grade school, were something was traced with a bead of glue and then had glitter dumped all over it. The excess glitter was then knocked off, leaving the traced object enhanced by the glitter. When using rubber-stamps, the process is quite similar. Slow-drying inks, usually labeled as suitable for embossing, are applied to the stamp and then the paper.
