The Jaded Tech

Since the Blog is rather popular with visitors, let’s make it informative and really useful.

I plan on posting a series to Tech Tips that will be incredibly simple for the average web surfer so don’t panic

Let’s start with some basic stuff.

When you actually go to a website. The images and files from the site get downloaded into your computer and stored in Internet Explorer’s ‘cache’. Then IE reads this cache and displays the files. This helps speed up some of the viewing of a website.

While this is pretty good, the problem is when you go back to that same site the next day, IE checks to see if you have already been there. If so, then it displays the files it has already stored in it’s tempoary ‘cache’. This becomes a problem if the site has made a slight change to it. Say a link that was bad is now working. Because you are still using the temporary files from IE’s ‘cache’, you will never see the corrected site.

That is why you need to ‘refresh’ that page. You can do this one of two ways. First, by hitting F5 on your keyboard. Second, by going into IE and deleting the temp files (Click on Tools/Internet Options, Click on Delete Temp File, place a checkmark in ‘delete all offling content’ and click ok, then click ok again to close the tools window).

That way you get to see the more recent updates to any website you go to.

Well, enjoy your new found knowledge and as always, please feel free to comment if you have any questions!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not in just some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.

Marianne Williamson , in Return to Love
(often mis-attributed to Nelson Mandela who, contrary to internet legend, did not use the quote in his inaugural address.)

Feeling a little introspective today . I’m not a ‘religious’ person, but this quote does have a lot to offer many people regardless.

Just too busy, needed a break from techie stuff.

It’s no wonder I’m doing so well! I keep hearing how someone’s previous technician or ‘friend’ who tried to help either made it worse or simply ignored the request for help! This is absolutely stunning.

Well, all the better for me. It’s about high-time people started getting quality technical support at reasonable pricing! I had heard that one of my competitors actually made things worse! Not to mention charging them a rather large amount of money.

It as been my experience that there is a HUGE gap in quality of technical people out there. Despite all the training that is available, lots of it for free, especially if you are keen on self-study, and yet there is still all kinds of poor quality techs who cause nothing but problems.

Well, I am changing that perception. My Clients will know they are getting quality work over and above their expectations!

Making a decent income with this will be easy. Anyone looking to run their own tech business, I have everything all set up for franchising. I’ll teach you everything you need to know to run a successful tech support business and make both your Clients and your bank account happy
