RockIT Man: March 2012
http://www.rockitman.net/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. Emerson LCD, Black Friday, Black Screen - DIY Fix. I dislike Walmart. I dislike shopping (unless it's online). I hate Black Friday. I really hate shopping at. Walmart on Black Friday. Despite all of these things, I got talked into going to Walmart on Black Friday in 2010. Until a recent mishap, I was actually glad I did it. I purchased a 42" Emerson 1080p LCD HDTV for next to nothing and was quite happy with it. Now, being a computer guy, this idea popped into my head. For co...

RockIT Man: Using FDM to schedule download times
http://www.rockitman.net/2012/01/using-fdm-to-schedule-download-times.html

And sleep soundly knowing your download will be waiting for you when you wake up. You choose option B? Setting up the software. 5 Cli...

RockIT Man: The Importance of Keeping Your Computer Cool
http://www.rockitman.net/2011/12/importance-of-keeping-your-computer.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. The Importance of Keeping Your Computer Cool. Imagine this scenario. You're working in the sweltering heat, desperately trying to finish a few miscellaneous jobs. It's hot. You're getting overheated. Unless you're super-human, you probably can't get as much accomplished in the heat. You perform much better at moderate temperatures. Am I right? A computer is a lot like you in this instance! Do not give it water! Things you can do. Take it off of your lap:. Clean the air vents:.
