Stop Auto Updates restarting your computer

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

Morning all,

If, like me, you have automatic updates on, but have a tendancy to leave your computer on overnight with documents or other things open so it’s all there tomorrow, you will know just HOW annoying automatic restarts can be.

Thankfully, if you own Windows XP Professional, there is a solution:

Disable Auto Restart in Windows Update

Very useful stuff!

What’s your WPM?

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Fancy finding out just how quickly you can type?

And also if you’re faster than your colleagues? Then why not try the Typing Test on TypingTest.com.

I managed to score:
Gross: 58 WPM
Errors: 6
Net Speed: 52 WPM
Accuracy 89%

Also, still on the subject of typing skills, how quickly can you type the alphabet on a QWERTY keyboard? Find out here! My record is 4.718 seconds.

That’s it from me for today! Enjoy the rest of your day!

James.
