I recently took a trip down memory lane when CNN posted an article about the top 20 gadgets of the 1980s. In an oddly sentimental way, I remember and used nearly all of them. (and to some extent, still do. My NES is connected and – though it freezes – is ready for DuckHunt or Marble Madness any night of the week.)
Whether you forgot your lunch at home, UberEats didn’t hit the spot, or you just need something sweet; you can always count on the office snack pile.
It’s about 15 minutes after eating your leftover roast from last week, and R.Kelly’s Bump N’ Grind comes to mind.
Virtual Desktops have finally made its way over to the lush, expansive meadow that is Windows 10, providing a lauded productivity and organizational tool for anyone willing to use it. The idea is to segment programs into different desktops and switch to them on the fly, rather than display all open programs and windows in a single, traditional desktop. This may seem tedious at first, but after only a short time you will find yourself using virtual desktops with ease!
If you’re anything like me, you have a terrible short term memory. Over the years I’ve devised numerous systems for keeping track of notes, and I almost always have some sort of note-taking method on hand, be it a moleskin, a phone, or even the most trustworthy of applications: Notepad. Now, I love the handy Microsoft tool which has been with Windows since the beginning, but it certainly shows its age at times. I find it often doesn’t display special characters in files that I open (which as a SysAdmin makes editing configuration files often problematic). It also isn’t the best in terms of features.
