Ok. Let’s see. I went to my profile and looked at my supposed fields of expertise.
For the computers/tech fields, here is what I would suggest – Google yourself (as in your real name) at least once a month. You will be surprised at how much you see. A good way of googling yourself is doing it once with your names in quotations and once without. For example, if your name is Sara Parker. You would google “Sara Parker” and also “Sara Parker”. You might find some really personal information out there and then you can contact the webmaster or whatever to have it removed if that’s what you want.
Also, if you have a PC (i can’t speak for Macs cuz I don’t own one) – it is good to have an antivirus program, regardless of what you have heard. And set your anti virus software to automatically scan your computer once/week. You don’t have to pay to get good anti virus, you can get free software such as Avast anti virus to do the same trick.
As for softwares, since we were just discussing this in the chat room, Microsoft Onenote is an amazing software for note-taking, or general organizing such as organizing your recipes. Here’s how my recipe note book looks in it. As you can see it’s a notebook software so it can be divided into sections and pages in cute color coded tabs. Perfect for any organizing freak :) Also, if you have Microsoft Office on your computer, you probably have this program already (go look :P)
Hmm what else…for TV shows – many Flutherites already know this, but for those who don’t, you can catch up on tv shows/seasons for free legally by using Hulu , no need to install any software. You can also watch movies on Hulu. Also check out abc, fox, etc channels that broadcast the show, many of them have a “watch online” feature for free.
If I think of anything else, I will return to this thread!
