Flock you … errrr a return to Flock at least

Posted by Steve  Published in Software

If you’re like me (and probably Ted) and are a bit of a social media junkie, at some point you may have tried out the Web browser named Flock. I remember trying it out when it first was released and it was more of a Flickr browser. I thought, “Cool” then promptly used it [...]

Is your keyboard dirtier than your toilet seat?

Posted by Steve  Published in Hardware

According to a recent study, your keyboard may be five times dirtier than a toilet seat or lavatory handle! Of course with working from home, I’m sure many of you are like me and eat your lunch at your desk. Apparently this is one of the major contributors to causing upset tummies and other [...]

Posted by Steve  Published in Gadgets

As I mentioned before, I’m a Blackberry guy, while Ted is an iPhone guy. I cruise through many of the Blackberry sites on a daily basis and I stumbled upon this rumor, that would absolutely make my day.

Backup or: How I learned to stop procrastinating and love the data

Posted by Steve  Published in Best Practices, Hardware

(Apologies to Kubrick and Dr. Strangelove)
I sometimes feel that I’m being tested by some outside force, or the old saying “things happen for a reason” often applies. Something really bad happened today, and as they say, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.

Steve who?

Posted by Steve  Published in Couchworkers

I guess that’s me. Hello my name is Steve Cherrier, and I’m a geek. (waits for chorus of, “HI STEVE!”). Yeah, I’m a geek, a nerd, a technophile — and I’m proud of it!
I’ve worked from home for about the last 10 or 11 years actually. Wow…time flies! I couldn’t imagine myself working in an [...]
