Re computers and things

I was a bit stunned at a recent interview when the interviewer mentioned that some teachers did not have computers. I took my netbook out of my bag and that seemed to have a very positive influence on the interview. This may well be a selling point.

I have started using the calendar feature in G mail and by some electrickery the calendar also appears on my phone. This is a very useful function indeed.

For those of you that want to improve your vocabulary (and that includes me) you should try Free Rice. The level can be changed to suit the learner. A further feature of this is when you play rice gets donated to the needy.

My dodgy 320 Gb hard disk has proved to be very stubborn indeed. I doubt that I will get anything off it now. There is a moral there, if you have vital information store it in multiple locations.

My notebook is having a few issues and really I need to reinstall all the software on it. Windows 7 has a "Reliability Monitor" that assess the stability of a system. This can be found be going into the start menu and typing "Reliability" into the "Search programs and files" window. Every so often my computer hangs, usually at the worst moment.
