My Retirement Photo
Hello and welcome to “What’s On My PC…”
If you are a computer user, you probably never realized that just about everything we do is on our computers. Whether it is pictures, banking, keeping a calendar, playing games, reading the news, playing music, watching movies, etc… our whole lives is ending up in that black box on our desk; or in my case on the floor.
I am a “young at heart” retiree with a background as a security/police officer professional and as an information technology specialist. I have an obsession for information technology, computers and software (especially freeware). I am self-taught in information technology and spend hours trolling the internet for anything that exercises and feeds my mind. I decided to post a blog to share information and events in my life. This blog is primarily devoted towards my friends and family. It is my intention to post to this site on a regular basis, so please visit frequently.
Myself, my wife and our 18 year old cat lead a “complex-free” life… The picture you see above, is of me following my retirement. I am gray, just hanging around, foraging for food, staying up late at night, and enjoying life. As you notice, my nose is pink, which is a sign of “good health”. I have “no complaints“. God has been good to me.
Contact Information…
When visiting the blog, there are (2)-two ways to contact me.
- You can email me at: whatsonmypc(at)yahoo.com . This is especially useful for link exchanges, questions, etc…
- You can leave a comment at the bottom of any article or page. Your comment may not initially show up until I approve it; however I will see it and get back to you.
I never told you this, but you have a great and very useful blog.
Keep it coming, Rick!
Carol,
Thank you for your kind words. You do the same, “keep it coming”…
Rick

I know alot of people who want to learn about computers because they no nothing, unfortunately, they don’t have the internet. So if you know anyone who knows nothing and needs it explained to them, I just posted a new article. I’m starting with hardware, so that’s where i’m at. My husband and I are starting a Mobile PC Repair business in the Moses lake washington area in the next year or two, so if you know anyone with pc issues, send them to mypcnotes blog and I can probly walk them through it.

Clifford,
You are very welcome. I have added your blog to the blogroll here. Will be visiting your site frequently. As a matter of fact, just to break an old habit, I just moved my Windows 7 taskbar (with autohide activated) to the left side of the screen to give me full advantage of the screen space.
Rick

And here I was proud of myself because I finally – after about a year – made myself sit down and learn how to download music for the kids MP3 players. A friend from China gave them both iRiver players, that I think do all kinds of things, but I don’t read Chinese. I just sat down and played. I am sure it would not have been the way instructions would have said, but I got the job done.
See how much you have already helped me. I just googled iriver again and found they are sold in the US now and I downloaded a manual for what I think we have. If not, at least I know it is available. Pretty exciting! Pretty scary!
Karen,
Great to see you hear on the blog and that you are moving onward in the field of information technology. I encourage you to share links to my blog to others in our circle of friends.

Hello there, we are the owners of http://www.couponmilk.com/ We have been hard at work building a coupon sites that just work. But the problem is no one really visit us and nobody leaves any feedback for us. So we have whatsonmypc on our rss feed, and although this may be a bit self-promoting, but we really hope you can perhaps give us a heads up, like review it in a post, put it as part of a list, on the blogroll… It’s really up to you.
Not to sure how we can repay you or your wonderful viewers, but we have a great product coming soon and we will le you be the first to know it when it does. Thanks and you may contact our email for any info.
