Keeping one’s resume up to date is generally not at the top of “to do” lists since most of us don’t change our jobs frequently and as such our resumes quickly become outdated, inaccurate and forgotten. However, considering that we got our current jobs in part due to that old, outdated paper representation of ourselves we should definitely keep them …
Business & technology are partners, not competitors
Finding that perfect balance between business and technology can be a challenging process. Aligning them together where they are useful to one another, productive and most of all on the same page has proven to be the key to success for many organizations.

Work and happiness shouldn’t be mutually exclusive
Since most of us haven’t won that elusive jackpot yet (trust me, I’ve been trying) we continue to work for a living. It’s a job to some, career to others, yet a place we all go to to earn money (on average 5 days a week) so that we can enjoy the rest of our lives. Considering how much time …
Optimum Online phishing attempt
Here’s another phishing attempt that got into one of my e-mail accounts, this time undetected by several anti-spam mechanisms in place.

Know what your project needs
Recently I came across several project proposals where I was asked to evaluate technical components (hardware, software and staffing needs) and found a few items worth sharing. Several items in these proposals weren’t adequately priced (difference from list and actual price on select items was as high as 60%). Furthermore, some hardware models have been discontinued years ago. While certain …
Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
I have recently moved my primary work laptop to 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise and while I am overall pleased with the operating system (OS) I found that some apps which didn’t run on Vista don’t work on 7 either. Some of those which I use frequently are Timbuktu Pro and a custom built application to manage user access permissions on …
Export and import saved passwords from Firefox
While certainly not one of better security practices we are all guilty of saving passwords in Firefox (and other browsers of choice) for frequently visited websites. If you visit a particular site daily it is much more convenient to allow your web browser to save your user name and password for later use. This is fine as long as you …

I try not to repeat posts but this is one of those which will always resurface on January 7th as I do my part to commemorate the birth, life and death of this great scientist, or inventor as he liked to call himself. Please read more about Nikola Tesla here.
