Howdy,

The following quote is a favorite of mine and is attributed to Henry Ford

Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t; you’re usually right

It came to my mind when I was listening one of my favorite books The New Psycho Cybernetics.

The book was discussing how important it is to realize that your conscious mind is great for actually doing things but your subsconscious (which you can’t directly focus) is what solves problems, is creative, etc.

It’s why we often solve problems when we’re not thinking about them.

And why “writer’s block” can be a real thing because you’re “trying to be creative”.

Now on with the show…

I’ll have to admit it.  I’ve been there!

Improving People’s Lives: Story #49

One client we’re doing a lot of work on their computers.  They have a total of 12 computers and we decided it would help if we created a “fake drive” so all of the paths would be the same (for them as well as for us.)

Now all the paths are the same regardless what computer we’re on (and all of this under DropBox so we no-longer need to sync files either)

What we utomated this week with AutoHotkey #86

In this week’s episode, I walk through some of my recovery process after losing my Windows install and having to “start from scratch”.

Thankfully much of my files were backed up but there were lots of little things that I work on that I lost (but I’m making a list)
