(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.
