Right Mouse Clicks - The basics

Posted byJohn Thompson  • 23rd January 2012  • 

Thanks to the Mircosoft machine, the following was found and I hope you find it useful ...

As a mouse user, you’ve probably noticed that there’s more than one way to click the mouse. There’s the primary click that you do with your index finger, and there’s a secondary click that you do with one of your outer fingers. This is known as the right-click. (Please note it is possible to swap the mouse buttons, especially useful if you are left-handed. In this case it’s a left-click for left-handers.)

e-Mail - Dream Facility or Nightmare

Posted byJohn Thompson  •  5th December 2011  • 

Now not everyone will be getting a huge quantity of emails every day but the principles below can be used to reduce the amount you actually have to look at by around 90% from 100-300 a day to less than 20, and the same principles can be applied to anyone's inbox, even yours.

1. Stop checking your e-mail every 5 minutes
2. You don’t need to read most of the e-mails you’re sent - So don’t
3. Set up e-mail rules to highlight the important ones and ditch the junk - There is a "how to set up rules" in most e-mail software
4. Get people talking to each other - especially between you and your customers
5. Send concise e-mails
6. Weed out your trouble makers, and again set up rules

Data - "Slipping Through My Fingers"

Posted byJohn Thompson  •  6th December 2011  • 

As a registered Data Controller with the Governments Information Commissioner’s Office we are always concerned about data, so here are six simple steps to data protection for your company …

1. People, policies and priorities first
2. Get copies of your data out of the building
3. Calculate the costs of downtime - For example Cost Per Occurrence = ([Time / Length of Outage] + [How long since the last backup?]) x ([Hourly Rate of Personnel] + [Lost Revenue per Hour]).
4. Think beyond tape
5. Make it easy for users to restore themselves
6. Make sure you really can restore
