Well 2024 is here and I am so looking forwarding to serving you with your technology needs. I hope you have had a great Christmas break. I have had a lovely Christmas time with my husband Laurie and we covered over 2,000 kilometres travelling south to the Snowy Mountains and then to the Bega Valley to see family and friends.

For Business Professionals - Computer Trainer Advice Last year also saw a bigger increase with my professional business people who do not want to get left behind. So much is expected of us in the office environment to know about technology. But have you ever felt that you may have done some computer work but it was over a year ago and you have forgotten how you did it. I empathise with you. I am working all the time with computers however your role may involve you getting very good with your particular work only to let some other knowledge get rusty. Please consider contacting me on those occasions. We can use TeamViewer which is a confidential screen sharing program and I can guide you through that quick issue or train you from afar.

Managing storage can sometimes be challenging. Large files can slow down your work and computer. You will soon find that you run out of storage quickly! Tip #1 Did you know that a 5 MB photo = Shakespeare’s complete works The next time you want to send off an email and attach a photo just think of the size you are sending. So if the file says it is 5MB then that is the equivalent of Shakespeare’s complete works you have just sent through cyberspace. Maybe we should checking the size of our files before we hit send on our emails. Tip #2 - For Example Decide what you want to send in attachments and is it really necessary. "Binary Powers of Ten. Relating storage capacity to the real world The growth in peer-to-peer networks and the digitalisation of culture – storing images, sounds and videos on digital media – drives the need to find new ways to describe unimaginably large storage numbers." – Journalist Nathan Cochrane Source Berkley university study. Tip #3 - Trip to New Zealand I remember being sent to New Zealand to consult for a large firm. Being in the IT department I notied a large amount of emails being sent to and from the staff who were not far from each other in the same builidng. After some questioning I realised that the staff did not know that they all had access to the G:/ General drive where all the data was stored and they could just send the link instead. At the time this freed up the server tremendously. We can't assume our staff know all these things hence some good training is always a worthwhile investment. Tip #4 - Want To Know More If working on a PC go to Windows Explorer (often also known as File Explorer) and check on the size of the file before attaching it to email. Lastly, knowing just a little bit about file size can go a long way in helping your emails get delivered. You can learn more about file size by contacting me and requesting to get my newsletter.
