TGM: (1/31) Update on the latest changes to TechGeekandMore
Jan 31st
The New TechGeekandMore changes are coming along. If you would like to follow TGM via Twitter or RSS you can now access the Twitter and RSS feeds for TechGeekandMore using the icons on the top right of the TechGeekandMore site.
Simply click on either of the links and you will automatically taken to either the TGM Twitter or RSS feed page, where you can sign up to follow TechGeekandMore.
Another change involves being able to contact TechGeekandMore, and now if you would like to send a message to TGM you can very easily.
If you scroll down the right side any page you will see the listing for TechGeekandMore pages. There you can click on the “Contact TechGeekandMore” link which will send you to the TGM form. Questions, comments, requests are always welcomed. This is in addition to comments that can still be left at the bottom of any posting.
In addition you will now see at the bottom of the TGM blog a few banners ads for TechGeekandMore partners. Currently the banner listed is for iDrive. TGM became a partner for iDrive because everyone should be backing up their computers and iDrive makes it simple and inexpensive. For the record, if you sign up for iDrive via the TGM banner, TGM will receive a small payment per person who uses the TGM banner. TGM values its reputation and limit ads to specific areas of the site, where they will be clearly listed, and will only recommend items or have ads for items that TGM knows will benefit its readers. We will NOT have ads just for ads sake.
Finally, if you scroll down the page of TechGeekandMore, you will also see a link to Donate to TechGeekandMore. TGM was started with the goal of informing and helping as many people as possible to understand the language of Tech. To most users, talking about Technology issues is like talking a foreign language. However, there are some expenses with running TGM, and a lot of time and heart put into trying to make TGM informative and helpful to those who visit. As a user, I hate going to sites, trying to read a story, that is broken into pieces in between tons of ads. It is our hope and goal to never do that to TGM, but we like everyone else have bills to pay. So if you are a reader of TGM and have been helped by something you have seen here on TGM, I am asking for a donation to help keep TechGeekandMore going.
TGM: TechGeekandMore for 2009 – Just one word – WOW!
Jan 1st
(http://www NULL.rj-diamond NULL.com/alex/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/TGM NULL.jpg) With the end 2009, let me send out a quick thank you to all the readers of TechGeekandMore, and also to the numerous people who helped get TGM off the ground.
When I started TGM at the end of February 2009, it was started as a simple hobby. I really never figured that I would get more than a few family members and maybe some co-workers/clients following it. I guess I got a little more than what I expected. As noticed in the final stats for 2009, with 1 little exception (and even that one was close), TGM has grown every month since it started.

I guess a special thanks is in order to Apple, Cisco, McAfee, and CA for having issues with their software.

Which helped inspire the creation of TGM so that questions, that I heard everyday (multiple times a day) would be answered in a form that even the most non-technical person can understand.

Welcome to Tech Geek and More! My name is Alex and I have been a professional Geek and a Road Warrior Geek for the past 15 yrs, recently I started thinking maybe I should put some of the geek that bounces in my head all the time on paper (Digitally that is) and I also figured I could use this same space to share some of my adventures current and past adventures. There are something’s that “No one seems to believe so maybe if I post it, I can prove that life is nothing less then an adventure as a road warrior”. I have been a Professional Geek since the days when AOL was the Internet. Since the Mid 1990’s, (Gee I suddenly feel old) I have managed systems at a Major Hotel, Installed POS (That’s Point of sale not Piece of …..) for a couple of Major POS makers all over North America, and managed computer systems at a Major League Baseball Stadium. I am not Academically Trained….I explain to people that I am a Geek with street smarts. I pride myself on being able to hold conversations with fellow geeks who are academically trained while at the same time being able to translate the geek and explain a geek issue in simple English or Spanish to a completely non-technical person and be able to have that person understand just as easily. I work best when you tell me it can’t be done and you need me to prove you wrong. If you see anything on my blog or if you just want to say HI leave me a message. |
