It is time to say good bye.
I started blogging for That Damn PC four months ago and I have now decided to leave because of personal reasons, especially related to time management. I hope at least a few of my posts have helped someone sometime. They have helped me learn a few things so as to share them here, and I know one place where to look for specific tips that I may forget in the future.
That Damn PC will soon get another blogger, so keep coming back. Even better, subscribe to the site and you will be notified once …read more

I’ve realized that my last Tech Channel Roundup was nearly a month ago and I’m guilty of it. So, bear with me as I overload you with a number of interesting links that I found in some of the sister blogs.
Milo discovered a product especially useful for enterprises of all sizes called Nightwatchman, a good news that Microsoft didn’t lay off anybody in the Vista team. I knew that they didn’t touch the Silverlight team, but frankly I’m surprised about this because Vista hasn’t been very profitable to Microsoft. Or has it?

In case you are taking a vacation, have a safe one and forget all your worries including those about the PC. When you come back, I will be here waiting to help you in any way I can.

Dear Website Administrator,
I am sorry if you consider your website as a blog but it clearly isn’t one and you should stop your blog if you intend to maintain it in this way. Though I wasted a lot of time and energy digging deep I couldn’t find when you exactly started the PC-Guide category on your blog, which is a reproduction of That Damn PC.
I did not sign up for your free online backup services and I was told that the previous bloggers here at That Damn PC did not either. I once again request you to stop copying every single …read more

I started this month as the new damn PC guy and ended it by buying a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 in one of the Black Friday deals though I wish I had won a PC in a giveaway.
I had been opinionated about using push buttons and organizing program files, worried about the rising types of blog fraud and spam mail, conscious about the precautions to be taken in a cyber cafe and disposing e-waste responsibly, sad about the layoffs and the Mumbai attacks, and excited about the Ancient Rome 3D and the LIFE photo archive projects. I also began an ongoing …read more
