Is that special someone out there or is it me?

Paul

Single In Evansville, Indiana!

Yep, I am tired of being single and have dating sites such as Zoosk, POF (Plenty of Fish), Christian Mingles, And Christian Singles.  Each one of these worked to a point but isn’t really that helpful.   I have decided that some of these Free Dating sites are nothing more than a lot of noise.   Nothing ever seems to be happen with me on those sites and when I do try to approach any other user and send them a message, I usually just get ignored.  I have been looking over the past year for someone who might make me happy.   This has been the first year that I have used these sites with no luck.   It wasn’t like I wasn’t trying but it just seems like their are to many people going the same way.

To much noise!

These sites seem to make to much noise and not enough results for me.   Each site tries to make you believe they have a special algorithm to find your perfect match.  This however is not always going to be true.  I have yet to find my perfect match and they have yet to give me anything but a lot of noise and some fake identities and scammers.   I finally just have given up my searches with these sites because they seem to just not work.   I’m not getting younger and thus this is my way of finding that one true person.

Facts About Me!

I run this blog, and it has been running for over 7 years.   I like writing, and enjoy a good science fiction movie and shows.  I have not gone out in groups for a while, and consider myself a recluse.   I like to stay home and write.   I also love Technology and thus this is where my blog comes into place.  It does not stop me from working at a local but it does help me to connect to the world.   I am S/W/M(Single White (Divorced) Male) in his upper 30’s who would love to go out to the movies and find someone who is a Christian.   That is one of my standards, even though we have many people out their.   My last marriage, I made that mistake and will not make it again.   That being said, I also would like them to not smoke or do any drugs.   They must have Goals, that is another must.   If you don’t have goals then go look somewhere else.   My Goal is clear is to keep this site going and that sooner or later it will bring in more profit that I will know what to do with.   

I’m a creative person at heart and thus this is where my blog comes into play.   You should also have some creative traits but that isn’t actually a requirement but is a plus.  I’ve had enough adventure for a lifetime and would like to just watch the sun rise and sun set with that special someone.   This is basically what I am looking for.  I’m not really a flirt, I am more of an arrow guy.   So if your looking for those types of guys this is not me.   I am thankful for a lot and know God has his plan and I am just waiting for it to happen.   Do not know when or how just know it will happen.   I am waiting for God’s promises.

Are you Interested?

If I have gotten your interested then you have a few ways to either learn more about me or you could just contact me.  If your looking to learn more about me then, please join my Mailing List.  If you know someone who is looking for a soul mate, don’t forget to share this on Facebook and Twitter.   I am sure someone is out there for me and this post is a way to find them!  You can contact me through POF and Christian Mingles if you want to chat with me but it is totally up to you!

The FAQ’s about the Acer C710-2856 and what you should know!

Paul

The Story so Far!

After buying this Acer C710-2856 and Reviewing it, people have started to ask questions about it.   I thought this would be a good time to discuss these questions and help understand what this computer can be used for.  I’m sure some of you have asked these sorts of questions in the past and thus you will want to verify this with other website but I am going to tell you what I can do on mine and hopefully I will answer some of your questions about the hardware!

Can you download files with it?

You can download anything on the web as long as you can right click on thel ink and hit save to file!  It doesn’t really have the right click moust button but if your use two fingers on the touchpad you can easily learn to do it this.  

Can I download MP3 Files and listen to them!

You can download music and listen to them offline, but you can also listen to Pandora and Spotify online without much problems!   I have had no problems listening to MP3’s that are not copy protected from Amazon US.   So if your looking to download music and listen offline it shouldn’t be a problem!

What about Video Files?

Again you can do it as long as it isn’t copy protected and does not require authorization to view the video.   I am hoping Google Play does that with the chrome book soon with regards to watching shows offline but I am sure that is a ways away!

Can I write Papers and HTML documents?

You can do this simply and easily offline as much as online.   Google has brought programs that will help you use these offline as well as online so you don’t have to be online all the time to do these.   You can open and save files to a SD card or a USB Stick easily and save them in ODT (OpenDocument Format), DOCX (Microsoft Word), PDF, TXT, RTF (Rich Text Format), and HTML or Zip files!

Can I print?

Yes and easily and safely.   You can print to other devices such as a Android Device or even a Phone.   You can also print to a PDF and save it online for later to print.   You can also use Google Cloud Print and they have several printers you can buy that will allow you to print with your Chromebook!

Can I use a VPN?

Yes you can, after looking hard and trying to find that will work for your situation.   I have found three or that will work, so far.   VPN4ALL, PureVPN, and WiTopia.   Each one of them have there benifits.  Just like VPN4ALL only gives you 5 Gigs because of it being consider a Mobile Device.   Witopia  only has 3 servers you can use but seems to work really well!  I should know I used them with the Chrome OS in the past and right now!

Playing Games on the Chromebook?

If they are online and you can access them, you should have no problems with the Chromebook.   It is only games that are Online that you can actually play using the Chromebook.   I have yet to find a Facebook game that I can’t play on it.   

Should I backup my Chrome OS?

This is a Definate yes.   The instant you buy your Chromebook, you should use a 4 gb USB drive or a 4 Gb SD card and go on your Chromebook to:

chrome://imageburner/

What are some other Chrome URLS that I could use?

I thought it would be fun to at least show you a few good Chrome URLS that you might need to know or at least enjoy playing around with on your Chrome OS:

 

  • chrome://predictors/  (Great fun see which links you go to alot and see how Google predicts which ones are most likely going to be put in)
  • chrome://settings/  (This is for your system settings and can be great resource for those who might need to change something in your Chrome OS!)
  • chrome://system/  (Everything you need to know about your system at your figure tips!)
  • chrome://downloads/ (If you decide to download anything, this is the URL to go to find those downloads)
  • chrome://bookmarks/ (This is where your bookmarks are kept and stored.   So if you need to get to them easily this is the place to go)
  • chrome://chrome-urls/ (This is where you find these a some other ones you might need to know down the road.   So keep learn these and you have a better chance at using the Chrome OS to the fullest!)

As you can see I have had a few weeks to play around with this little OS and actually starting to get a hang of it.   If you have a question that I didn’t answer let me know and I’ll try answering it on the blog or by email.   I hope this helps those who had questions.   This isn’t a bad little system once you figure out what you can and can’t do with it!

 

 

 

What I have learned from Person of Interest Show!

Paul

Person on Interest!

When I first started watching this show, I thought it was unique but then last year we had the revelation of the Snowden contraversy and how the government was collecting all sorts of information.  Then this became so relevant to the government and how they are collecting my information.   You will see in this show so much talk about how they are collecting it.   It is scary and I am sure the Government has put this out to help have a plausible deniability factor to it.   I know I am going to have conspiracy theories tell me all sorts of stories, and frankly I am not interested.  This is my take on the show and here it is!

Bluetooth Force Pairing

To some this is impossible, and to some like me it is possible but highly unlikely.   I however tend to be more paranoid than most and think this is probably happening more than most would care to admit.   People have shown how to pair without confirmation in many situations and thus that I why I believe this is happening in today’s society without your knowledge.   Again this go back to the Plausibility factor, so who really knows this is after all I good reason to keep your cellphone secure as you can by turning off Bluetooth when not in use!

There will Always be a FINCH!

This is self evident in the series, he can hack and do all sorts of things that makes your head spin.   We have hackers and crackers who do this sort of stuff all the time but in much less detail and much less exposure.   I am sure they do not do all this stuff but they do some of it without your knowledge and without much publicity.   They probably have gotten into people’s Facebook accounts without your knowledge also!

Only the Paranoid Survive!

This is a quote from FINCH also, the geek humor of it is what struck me as funny.  Those who are paranoid have good reasons to worry and be cautious of what everything we do online.   It is good to be asking questions about what is going on and trying to keep our personal information safe.  It is sometimes hard to fight for your rights.   That was one reason I tell people to use a VPN service like VPN4ALL and that way you can keep your bank information and your identity from those who could do the most damage! 

As you can see I have been watching this show for the past few weeks going back and starting from Season 1 of Person of Interest and it is quite interesting and somewhat scarey what they do on the show.   It keeps me wondering just how much of this is true and how much of it is made up.   Only time can tell what really is true but you have to wonder and ask questions.   Could this be true?
