Do you use the same computer for both work and home use?

If so, keeping those activities isolated from one another could help prevent confusion and perhaps even embarrassment in the event that the two were to somehow become entangled with one another.

Luckily, it’s very easy to keep your work and home computing activities completely isolated from one another. All you have to do is create a new user account to sign into while you’re working. [Read more…]

Question from Ethan: I was reading an article last night that discussed using part of a computer’s unused RAM as a RAM Disk, and it got me to thinking.

I have an older desktop computer that’s running Windows 10 (it can’t be upgraded to Windows 11). It has 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.

This machine runs really slow, coming almost to a crawl at times. After doing some research I’ve determined that it’s likely sluggish because it’s doing a ton of swapping back and forth with the page file.

Vehicle Paint Protection Services: What they are and why they matter

A friend of mine drives the Tauranga to Auckland motorway three times a week. Last month he counted 14 fresh stone chips across his bonnet and bumper after one run behind a loaded truck.

Posted on March 5, 2026

I watched a supermarket car park in Auckland grind to a halt one Friday afternoon. Faded arrows, missing give-way lines, and a near-invisible pedestrian crossing turned a simple exit into a ten-minute jam.

The next weekend, fresh paint and new signage were in place. The difference was immediate, drivers flowed, and people stopped second-guessing each other.

Use the standards and checks below to set bay sizes, protect pedestrians, meet accessibility obligations, and plan a repaint without shutting the site down.

How a lead generation assistant can save time and grow your sales pipeline

Posted on March 5, 2026

Last month, I watched a founder spend three hours copy-pasting contact info into a spreadsheet instead of closing two warm deals in her inbox.

Sound familiar? Small sales teams lose deals because follow-up is slow and data is messy, not because the product is wrong.

A dedicated assistant who handles research, outreach, and scheduling changes quickly. You get hours back, prospects hear from you faster, and your CRM (customer relationship management system) stays usable. [Read more…]
