Tonight, I'm delving into a topic that's quite relevant for many of us who are into computers: How to free up space on our machines. I regularly "defrag" my laptop to keep it running smoothly. However, I often encounter a problem where there's not enough room for the defragmentation process to work, and it ends... Continue Reading →
Surviving Change
My QotD: Change is good. Change is difficult. Whereas underestimating the value and importance of change is hazardous to one's soul and future. Appreciating the fact that change is inevitable is smart thinking. Even if it takes a little time to realise.
