Should I remove a program from my computer?

Sandra Clitter — Wed, 08 May 2013 01:17:55 +0000

WOW…where does the time go? I have no excuses for being AWOL. I do, however, have tons and tons of ideas for articles…many of which can be attributed to the fact that my laptop died on me last week…Yup…done…over…kaput. As an aside (skip over this paragraph to the next paragraph if you’re interested in the [...]

Free Meeting Organizer – boy, does this save time and emails!

Sandra Clitter — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 01:09:05 +0000

I don’t know about you, but for me one of the most aggravating parts of the Administrative side of my business is trying to organize meetings. Who’s available when? How do I organize all of the responses? Usually, I create something in Excel that works – sort of – but it’s tedious and manual and [...]

How can I split up a PDF into smaller segments or combine multiple PDFs into one?

How many times have you run into the situation where you have a large PDF and want to share just a portion of it with someone else…or, you have several PDF’s that you want to combine into one large one? Maybe you have the situation where you want a couple of pages from one PDF [...]

USB Flash Drives – Don’t forget to wipe them before discarding them

Sandra Clitter — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 17:41:13 +0000

Ahhh…those ubiquitous little USB drives that litter our desks, briefcases, pockets, purses. How handy they are. How easy to lose. And, typically, we carry our most important information on them – or our current ‘most important’ projects. Once you’re done with the drive, you may just hand it over to someone else to use, or [...]

To upgrade to Windows 8 or not to upgrade…that is the question (and yes, my Uncle did it!)

Happy New Year, everyone!!! I hope that you all enjoyed your holidays. Now, its back to reality, working on your New Year’s resolutions and generally getting things ready for another productive year. Many of you may have gotten a Windows 8 device as a gift, or are considering a Windows 8 device in the New [...]

Making your website mobile-friendly…you have to do it!

Sandra Clitter — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:00:47 +0000

Greetings, All - I am so sorry for the lack of posts this past month…Honestly, it feels like I just wrote the last post a week ago, and it’s already a month old. Oye! How does that happen?!?! First, a very Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers here in the United States. It is a [...]

Want to read web pages later and from your other devices?

Sandra Clitter — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:00:10 +0000

How many times have you found yourself waiting in line, sitting in a doctor’s office waiting room, racing to meet someone for a lunch or coffee only to get that text that says ‘Sorry, but I’m running 15 minutes behind’? I can answer for myself – often (I’m also a perennially early person – when [...]

Creating and Editing your Microsoft Office docs on your iPad

Sandra Clitter — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:00:14 +0000

As many of you know, I was a late adopter to the iPad world. I didn’t get my iPad until the latest release last spring (2012). While I love the easy of use/access, I was having a hard time swallowing the need to purchase an App to effectively edit my Microsoft Office documents (after all, [...]

How do I convert my Video/Audio files to view/listen on my PC?

Sandra Clitter — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:35:28 +0000

There are what feels like a million different audio and video formats – each of which plays on a different device. GRRRRRRRR!!!! So frustrating…I never seem to have the correct format for the correct device. A good friend of mine had to take video for work, then upload it to the web in a WAV [...]

Dropbox – What is it? Why do you have to have it?

Sandra Clitter — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 00:32:15 +0000

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately…I have a cartoon hanging on my refrigerator which says ‘Summer – where laziness meets respectability’. Somehow, while I’ve been busy all the time, I haven’t been as concerned about meeting non-client related deadlines…until Labor Day hit…now I’m trying to get back into the saddle and get going! Anyway, you don’t [...]
