Things have been pretty active over on my Vancouver Observer column, Techplanations. WIth the holidays coming up I had to cover gift ideas for geeks: Getting Great Gifts for Geeks and since we all need to stop talking on our cellphones while starting in BC starting in January I have a review of some Motorola headsets and a contest to win a headset or hands free car device–Do You Have a Headset for Your Cell Phone?.
Because the column is about helping people use technology better (and fix it when it breaks) I covered the very common–My Computer Won’t Boot! What do I do?!?–which I’m sure many of you have lots to had to that topic in the comments.
Finally I’ve just published part one of a multi–part series on telecommuting during the Olympics–Welcome to the Telelympics! Telecommuting For The 2010 Winter Games. The first installment covers laying the groundwork for working from home. Next week I’m going to dig deeper into setting up your router, getting software you need, and prepping your workspace.
Have more tips for telework? Let me know here or in the comments on the column.
