I USE WINDOWS 7
FROT
My geek secret – I am dirty and bad. I still use Windows 7 Although I like to tell everyone I’M NOT A GEEK, I do have more than a dozen computers, laptops, & tablets. The reason I reassure myself that I’M NOT A GEEK is that I find it a bit of a struggle […]
COMPUTING WAS A DEEP STATE SET UP
FROT
At some point in the past few years, the penny dropped and I realised Apple, Microsoft, and later, Google, were all set up by the deep state, they were never real businesses – we can use their tools, but they are all playing us. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were both actors working for the […]
MY NEW MONTH’S RESOLUTIONS
FROT
Today is the first day of September. At the start of last month I had two new month resolutions. To stop using all social media, and to focus on the positive. How did that all go? Well the social media part went OK, I did totally stop all use of social media for a solid […]
HOW TO BROWSE THE INTERNET
FROT
Going back about 10 years I was often asked basic computer questions by family and friends. Not because I was some sort of geek guru, but because I’d been using computers since the 90’s and knew some of the basics. But all that changed when Microsoft 10 came out in 2015. I’d already refused to […]
TWITTER HAVE COPIED MY ACCOUNT
FROT
I never use Twitter but I did set up an account years ago to suss it out. I called my account “X” and used a white X logo on a black background. Now they have rebranded Twitter as “X” and are using a white X on a black background. Yes, I was pretty astonished! https://twitter.com/X46003739 […]
BLOGGING 101
FROT
Blogging has certainly not turned out to be the world changing activity I once hoped it would be. I started out posting on Blogger long ago, which despite being owned by Google was such a well designed platform that I still miss it from when I stopped using it nearly a decade ago. It just […]
IF YOU HAVE GO ON FACEBOOK THERE IS AN APP TO MAKE IT USABLE
FROT
Face manipulates your feed with algorithms, making the site pretty much unusable, but there is a way to make it a lot more usable with an app. The app is called F.B Purity – two key things this can do is make the feed chronological, as well as turning off all the crap (no side […]
Time to make some changes
FROT
It’s been 25 years since I first got an internet connection and took to being online like a duck to water. Back then I had no idea of the downsides and just thought it was all the new frontier. But these days I have a love hate relationship with “the internet”. Computers are tools, and […]
THIS YEAR, I HAVE STARTED TRANSITIONING
FROT
Yesterday, I announced to the world on Facebook that I have started transitioning. I can’t believe my own hypocrisy really, but sometimes we just wake up one morning and realise we are living a lie that can no longer continue. Back in July 2016 I did a blog post saying Facebook sucked and I would […]
A QUARTER OF A MILLION PAWN TAGS
FROT
After reading that more than 25% of all internet searches are for pawn, I began wondering if adding a bunch of pawn tags to a blog post would increase my site traffic. Pornography Statistics of USA: On average, there are over 372 people who search for the “adult” word on their search engine every second. […]
