Internet Tip of the Week
by Bob OsgoodbyGeek Speak
In the dictionary, a Geek is defined as "A carnival performer whose act usually consists of biting the head off a live chicken or snake". Today however, it has taken on the additional meaning of someone who doesn't fit the norm, and usually refers to someone highly knowledgeable in computers.
If you think about it, a geek can exist in any occupation or field of endeavor. They all have their own language peculiar to their trade. If two meteorologists meet at a party, and start talking about isobars they will understand each other. Doctors might discuss new radical surgery techniques, while lawyers might discuss torts.
If they use the same terms with people not in their profession, they might not be understood. People who do this are guilty of "Geek Speak".
If you try to advertise your business and use "Jargon", while you will most likely be understood by others in your field, you will quickly lose the majority of people.
No matter how knowledgeable you are in your field, don't try to impress others with highly technical language - they won't have a clue as to what you're talking about. Use everyday words that people can understand. We all know that technical terms have their place, and to another person in the field, can denote specific things in a minimum of words. While your message might be understood by people experienced in that field, those that are not, might not know what you're talking about.
For example if you say "Your ISP can cancel your account if you spam", experienced computer users would know what you mean. Those new to computers however, may not have a clue as to what you are saying. A better way to say it might be: "If you send copies of the same commercial email to people who didn't request it, the company that provides your internet access can cancel your account". Here we said the same thing, but didn't use "Jargon."
Always try to phrase your advertising so that people who don't know anything about your business, will understand exactly what you are saying.

In The News
Total Lunar Eclipse
The moon will turn shades of amber and crimson tonight as it passes behind the Earth's shadow in the first total lunar eclipse in three years. The eclipse will be at least partly visible from Asia to the Americas, although those in Europe, Africa and the Middle East will have the best view.
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun's light. The event is rare because the moon spends most of its time either above or below the plane of Earth's orbit.
Although it will pass completely under Earth's shadow, light from the sun will still reach the moon after being refracted through Earth's atmosphere, giving the moon an eerie dark reddish tinge.
Earth's shadow will begin moving across the moon at 3:18 p.m. ET Saturday, with the total eclipse occurring at 5:44 p.m. ET and lasting more than an hour.Observers in eastern North America and South America will find the moon already partially or totally eclipsed by the time it rises over the horizon Saturday evening.

Computer Security Tips
by Syd TashThere seems to be some confusion over anti-virus programs, firewalls, and anti-spyware programs. These are the 3 basic security programs you should have running on your computer, if you want to surf the Internet safely. But what do they do? How many of each should you have? How and when should you run and update them? Here is a brief review.
An anti-virus program, as the name implies, catches and keeps out viruses, trojans, worms and other junk that circulate on the Internet. There are more than 150,000 of them, with new ones added every day. You should have only one anti-virus program running on your computer, otherwise they will conflict with each other, and cause crashes and other problems. It runs in the background, so you don’t have to do anything except make sure it updates itself every day or two, or do a manual update yourself.
A firewall hides your computer on the Internet, so hopefully you won’t be attacked by malware in the first place. If you are, the firewall should prevent the rogue program from communicating with its master via the Internet. Again, you should only have one firewall on your computer, otherwise they will conflict with each other. Your firewall also runs in the background. Updates are infrequent, so check in the program or watch your email, as we discussed last week.
Spyware, malware and other evil programs can steal your passwords, slow down or hijack your computer, throw ads at you, etc. etc. You can have as many anti-spyware programs as you want; you should have at least two, because sometimes one will catch what the other misses. You usually must launch and run these programs yourself. Run them one at a time. Update them at least once a week.

A Little Humor to Start the Week
A Quarter Horse
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=One evening while I was preparing dinner, my daughter came into the kitchen asking for homework help on her vocabulary words. "Mom," she asked, "what's a quarter horse?"
As I thought of a simple explanation, my five-year-old son piped up, "I know! It's the one they have in front of the grocery store."
-----
A small town doctor was famous in the area for always catching large fish.
One day while he was on one of his frequent fishing trips he got a call that a woman at a neighboring farm was giving birth. He rushed to her aid and delivered a healthy baby boy.
The farmer had nothing to weigh the baby with so the doctor used his fishing scales. The baby weighed 32 lb. 10 oz.
-----
My wife has not spoken to me in three days. I think it has something to do with what happened on Sunday night when she thought she heard a noise downstairs.
She nudged me and whispered, "Wake up, wake up!"
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"There are burglars in the kitchen. I think they're eating the tuna casserole I made tonight."
"That'll teach them!" I replied.
-----
St. Peter is very busy in Heaven, so he leaves a sign by the Pearly Gates: "For Service Ring Bell." Away he goes; he barely gets started when BING! the bell rings. He rushes back to the gates, but no one's there.
St. Peter goes back to work when suddenly BING! the bell rings again. He rushes back to the gates, but no one's there. A little annoyed, St. Peter goes back to work.
Suddenly, BING! the bell rings again. St. Peter goes back; again, no one's there. "Okay, that's it," St. Peter says. "I'm going to hide and watch to see what's going on." So St. Peter hides, and a moment later, a little old man walks up and rings the bell.
St. Peter jumps out and yells, "Aha! Are you the guy who keeps ringing the bell?"
"Yes, that's me," the little old man says.
"Well, why do you keep ringing the bell and going away?" St. Peter asks.
"They keep resuscitating me," he replies.

Something to Think About
By Jan TincherDid you know there was a cure for heartache?
There is. Laughter. Have you ever sat through a funny Marx Brothers show and felt the same way you did before you started watching it? Probably not. I taped a whole video cassette of World's Funniest Videos and I watch it when I get to feeling down. I can't help but laugh. It may not cure everything, but it takes away my heartache for as long as I'm watching, and
many times way beyond.What makes you laugh? Figure it out and use it often.
