I normally assume my Windows updates will occur with a minimum of fuss and bother, and in fact it took me several rounds to even realize what was going on this morning. I kept getting an “updates ready to install” notice, and I kept telling it to install. I was too busy with morning activities…
I always tell users to be very certain of any attachments, not only checking who they’re from, but being certain that the person in question intentionally sent them. This e-card greeting spam (Washington Post article) should remind you of another thing: Links in an e-mail don’t necessarily go where the text says they go. Be…
This post is addressed to those who own or manage small offices, such as professional people. In fact all of my regular customers are offices of various professional people The key problem that I observe in the use of computers in the office is simply that people absolutely will not take time to actually learn…
All of this information is available in different files, but I couldn’t find it all in one place, so I’m going to post it. If nothing else, I can come back to this post when I forget it myself. On multi-author blogs I often want to provide author and category feeds as well as the…

In my previous post on sorting a scripture index, I used a rather lousy way of telling where the index was in the document. This came back to bite me today when I changed the number of references to a scripture index in a manuscript. In order to avoid this, use the following code instead….
Ref: A TGraphic Descendant for TIFFs I seem to have left a file out of the projects for this, though I know of a few people who have used it, and I can’t figure out just how. It’s possible that in moving files from one server to another I uploaded older zip files and thus…
