(5) Five Steps to Turn On Your Windows PC

1. Check all the power cables. Power outlet to extension outlet(s) to AVR (Automatic Voltage Regular) to UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to CPU Power Supply (the bold italic word is optional).

2. Press the CPU power button. Don't get confuse with the smaller RESET button. This light up the power indicator and the blinking red process indicator.

3. The monitor should be showing some text behind the black background. If not it's probably off. Verify if the monitor power indicator blue or green light is on. Usually the power button is just beside the power indicator light. Turn the monitor on if it's off.

4. In this stage the monitor should be showing texts the are moving upward indicating that the computer is booting or presenting a prompt asking for password. Enter the password.

5. If all is well the booting would resume will lead you to a more desirable Windows GUI.

My Old Blog is Alive

I have an old blog before this one but I neglected it long time ago. But now its alive!!!

I was able to reclaim it under my Google account. I previously used Yahoo email on this.

I really like how Google handle this kind of situation. Think of it, I lost the access of this blog long time ago. I still remember the title and managed to remember also the url, but i can't login. Today while I was searching my name in Google, the profile of my old blog was listed. It happens every time, but this time I decided to try to reclaim it. In my profile I saw my old Yahoo email. I am still using this old email. I just can't throw it away even if I really want to. I tried multiple times to login but every time I do it, somehow it redirected to my other blog under my Google account. I wonder why Google designed it like this. It leaves me blind to what really happened to my old account. Was it deleted or deactivated? But I can still see my old blogs. After many tries i finally understand why it happened that way. I logged in under Google account login! Yet there are no option for the old account login!

So I decided to try another approach. I leave the username and password blank then click the sign-in button. This time it showed me the other login page. And it was showing now the option for old login. I still can't login though, because I forgot my username and password! It took four times of try before I finally got my username right, but I still can't guess my password.

In the end I just click the "Forgot your password?" link. After I received the email with the link for reclaiming the site I was given an option to transfer it in my Google account. So that's what I did.

Thanks for reading this post.

Flash Back

These past two years I usually spent most of my time doing some web stuff. I design and develop website. This is really not my original game.

I graduated in college specializing Visual Basic 6. It took me three years to realized that this language is becoming obsolete. I experimented VB.net and C# but somehow I lost my drive. This is partly also due to the nature of my work in my previous job. It was really not so much in programming. When time came that I need to do something for my future career I doesn't have much choice. I was forced to learn how to weave the web.

I noticed that most of the jobs in IT involves web developing. If I need to expand my skills I have to know how it works. I really have slight knowledge about HTML at that time, but I did not develop it due to the thinking that scripting is not on the same level as programming. Today I realized that I was wrong. Web is the future of computing as what Google showed. So, to enhance my skill I self studied HTML, then CSS. I had a hard time at first but in the end I finally get the right technique. This is the most important part of my learning. After this everything now about web is within my reach. Though sometimes I still have to crawl to get what I want.

Today I can safely say that I have good knowledge in terms of web development. Photoshop, Javascript, PHP, MySQL, ASP.NET, C# and others, it came to me like avalanche. Although I admit in designing my creativity is not yet adequate and in the area of web apps like flash and java I still have a lot to learn. And I'm improving myself everyday.

Origin of Ideas

It's been a long time since the last time I did some blogging. Now I'm back again. I am interested with it again due to some little ideas and opinion I wish to share. I believe that I should spit out these things even if its not a good one. In that way I can help or annoy the readers. Either way it's not important to me.

So many things happened since I wrote my last blogs. I feel so fresh. I feel upgraded than before. I'm bursting with ideas. Well at least in my own point of view. So I suggest just ride with it.

Until next time.
