Encrypted Email; No Worries

Having spent a great deal of time in the corporate world, I have come across a number of things that would make any "normal" persons head spin. Imagine having to contact tech support at least 5 times a day to seek answers for technical issues that you know how to solve yourself in minutes. That's right, it's all about access sometimes. Then again, I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for writing and rewriting code should something go asunder. Anyway, back to the matter at hand, encrypted emails.

As I mentioned earlier, having copious experience in the corporate realm, I've been on one end or another of countless emails, memos and pdf's. More often than not everything runs smoothly, but sometimes a driver is out of date or an extension goes askew and you are left with one of two things. First, an error message and second, an assignment that cannot be opened or completed thus leaving you in the "hole". To avoid this purgatory of the cubicle, I always suggest jumping onto the net and downloading a simple scan to check on that pesky pdf File Extension P7M.

As I've mentioned earlier, File Extension p7M allows access to a variety of business emails that may or may not be encrypted. The cure to the aforementioned malady is as easy as downloading a simple program, running a scan and downloading the required updates. Honestly, this is a simple solution to a problem that could leave you on hold for hours on end while a deadline quickly approaches. The Driver Cure system works with certified downloads and delivers a detailed report allowing you to see exactly what issues you are having (on your computer...) and how to correct them quickly and effectively. 

Seminar Announcement; Texas

As I mentioned earlier today, there are a number of great social media seminars that will be available over the course of the summer and my goal is to deliver the information to you so that hopefully you can attend and learn invaluable tools and skills. The first seminar I'd like to announce is in Dallas, TX on July 21. The seminar will focus on the utilization of social networking tools in order to better promote yourself, your writing and/or your business.

Target Audience, "Business owners and business managers ready to learn about competing for customers in the social web, and those wanting to gain insights into the latest developments in social networking and social business practices."

Personally, I'd like to attend this event, but I somehow doubt I'll have the free time to travel up to Dallas considering my busy schedule. If you happen to find yourself in the DFW area on the 21st, stop in, or at least visit the site. I think you'll pick up quite a bit of knowledge from the professionals on-hand. Anyway, I'll let you know about upcoming seminars around the country as the information becomes available.

Flash Drives; Portability Plus

Is there anything cooler than a flash drive? Think about it, not only do they offer an insane amount of memory as well as portability (keep in mind I'm from the floppy disc generation), but they can be fully customized and tailored to you, your business or personality. I mean, why mess around with a plain unit when you can have an extensive array of custom USB flash drives? 

I recently chanced across a company called Best Flash Drives that actually offers just about any style of USB drives you could possibly imagine. Would you like custom USB drives in the shape of a surfboard? How about a drive in the style of a Hershey bar? Yeah that's right, your imagination is pretty much the limit here. In addition to the aforementioned styling features, you can choose from a number of popular designs as well as fully customize your features. 

In addition to the aforementioned features, Best Flash Drives also offers incredible turn-around times on their products. If you want your new drive in 24 hours you'll get it in that time. If you decide a week or two is good, they have you covered. Honestly, I'm pretty impressed. Not only do these guys work with techies like us, but they also cater to both small and large businesses alike. As far as I'm concerned, being just as important as the "big fish" is pretty cool. 

Expo's; Learn on the Road

For those of you who are interested in learning new and exciting ways to improve your blogs traffic stream as well as learn a handful of great tips to better serve your readers, look no further than media expo's. I've been reading up on a few of the expo's that have "gone down" the last couple of weeks and I have to say that I was impressed at not only the amount of great information available, but also the wealth of knowledge offered by industry professionals. Think about that, industry professionals. Who better to pick the brains of?

I highly recommend checking out some of the local events going on al summer and fall in various parts of the country. Honestly, there are quite a few events going on if you know what you are interested in and where to look. 

A colleague of mine who is a professional blogger actually hosts a number of seminars from his office (a wifi fishing dock).  His seminars focus on a number of techniques including revenue generation, visibility and tech tips. If for some reason you cannot make it to North Carolina for a seminar, you should definitely check out his website Softduit Media. Seriously though, check out his site for a number of great tips and techniques to aid in achieving your writing goals.

Creative Projects: Extension PTX

I have been working on a number of creative projects the last few weeks and have been utilizing Paint Shop Pro among other programs and ran into a couple of errors due to some outdated drivers that I had been unaware of. With that said, I wanted to talk with everyone briefly about File Extension PTX. As you may already know, File Extension PTX deals with the program Paint Shop Pro (in addition to a number of other programs that utilize said file). Having not utilized this program over the last few months, I had a number of software updates as well as drivers to find the "fix" for. Needless to say, I utilized my Driver Cure download.

Honestly, this was one of those cases that I was fortunate to know where to go to solve this problem. After downloading the program, I conducted a search for any and all driver updates so I could get up and running again. Once I received my report I was able to select the certified updates I wanted as well as a few others I wasn't even aware of. 

I have to say that this system has save my butt a few times over the last couple of months. It comes as a real shock to me that I was missing so many critical components to my programs due to my anal retentive nature. Fortunately, I know where to go and what to do when I end up with files that can't be open or errors that keep my software from running effectively. 

The Explosion; New Admin at BlogExplosion

Having spent a great deal of time discussing the benefits of numerous auto-surfs and traffic generators, I wanted to spread the news that BlogExplosion appears to have found new administration. I took a break from utilizing their services since I was unable to gain resolution to a number of tickets that I filed. Recently, I have not only received resolution of those tickets, but also a new "test" ticket that I submitted to test whether or not this was an anomaly. I am happy to say that the ticket was resolved in 24 hours.

With that said, I want to recommend that those of you who may be searching for an auto-surf give BlogExplosion another go around. Don't get me wrong, I am not endorsing them or other auto-surfs, but I have to say that they can definitely give a tired blog a shot in the arm or a steady blog a nice little surge in readership.

Personally, I really miss BlogMad, but I'll live.

Quicken Extension

After spending a bit of time yesterday talking about WPD extensions and its uses and formats, I wanted to deliver some information regarding the File Extension QFX. For those of you who utilize Quicken Financial Exchange and other Quicken software, you are probably well aware of File Extension QFX, but for those who are unfamiliar, I will "run-down" a few notes briefly.

The aforementioned files are utilized in order to import various financial data and spreadsheets. These files would carry  wealth of information including account information (names, addresses, figures etc.) so they are what I like to refer to as "dense files". These "dense files" are transferred during various transactions and are actually returned via an OFX extension, but that is a battle for another day.

With that said, I think you can understand the importance of maintaining your drivers and updates when it comes to finance. I mean, we usually cover the blogging aspects of these extensions, but sometimes the financial aspect creeps into blogging; so why not. Anyway, this Driver Cure download in the above links actually works the same as other downloads I have mentioned in previous posts. You simply download the Driver Cure, employ a systems scan, examine the report and download the required certified updates to ensure your drivers and other programs are functioning properly. If you are curious about the aforementioned download, feel free to visit the links!

Mirror Blogging; Casting Away Page Rank

Journeying through the Blogosphere I've come cross some very interesting "phenomena", one of which is the "Mirror Blog". The phenomena that I am speaking of is the blog that carries duplicitous content from its host site onto its own. Now I've heard a number of things about these sites, the first of which is that Google doesn't appreciate these sites and will in hand negatively respond via Adsense blocks and Page Rank decreases. 

Now I don't pretend to be an expert on these grounds, but I am pretty sure that I can tell when something isn't good and I suspect these mirror blogs aren't good at all. I can see where an author might choose to do something similar as an offshoot. In fact my gaming blogs 8-Bit Memoirs and 8-Bit Memoirs 2.0 mirror concepts but never content. In fact, I have gone so far as to only advertise on one versus the both of them due to the similarities (plus my readers don't particularly understand the business end of blogging to which I don't discredit them). 

With all that said, I suggest you do not engage in the practice of duplicate blogs. I suppose I could put this entry into a category of its own titled "responsible blogging" or something of the like. Anyway, happy blogging and more extensions on the way!

Extension WPD

As I mentioned earlier today, I will be delivering a handful of posts regarding some obscure file extensions that are quite important although oftentimes overlooked. The first of these that I would like to take a look at is File Extension WPD. The WPD is commonly associated with data files. Typically this data file will be located alongside WAV files somewhere on the hard-drive. Although File Extension WPD is most commonly associated with audio files, it is most prominently used with a program called Saw Studio.

The aforementioned program uses the WPD file in order to assess signal frequency as well as intensity. Think of the difference of having a functioning extension versus not as listening to your television on mono instead of surround sound (yeah, huge difference). In fact, oftentimes if your drivers aren't updated you wont be able to access anything in the audio program. 

As with other Driver Cure downloads, this one is free and runs quite similarly to the others I have mentioned previously. First the download will scan your computer for erroneous or missing drivers and extensions and upon completion will supply you with a thorough scan report. Upon receiving the report you will be given a listing of certified downloads to restore your system to optimal performance. Honestly, I have never really had an issue with WPD files, but if I did I would likely utilize this download in order to restore my system. 

More Updates Coming

Over the last few posts I've been spending some time delivering day-to-day updates as well as a few other projects that I've been working on. I have recently started using Twitter as well as traveling once again. I am having difficulties updating regularly due to my schedule, but am planning on continuing delivering file extension downloads as well as other tools that will benefit bloggers and avid cpu geeks like myself.

Having said that, I have a couple of extension posts coming up today that deal with both WPD and QFX extensions. In fact, I am considering a contract with Driver Cure that will enable me to receive compensation for posting about their products and services. Personally, I think it is a win-win situation as it delivers great content and knowledge to you all while it puts a handful of cash in my pocket for playing "middleman". With that said, feedback is always welcome. Hope all is well with you all and happy blogging!
