“Track 0 Indicator Failure…” “Drive Sector Not Found…” “Drive Read Failure…” ”Seek Failure…” If you have used computers for any length of time you undoubtedly will be faced with error messages similar to these.  If you’re also like most of us you’re not going to have a recent backup to recover your data.  I’ve been in this situation and absolutely needed [...]

When using Excel I find that I will often times want to setup a worksheet that I can use as a template.  For example I might have some monthly sales or inventory tracking that I do and I want to use the same format each month,  but I want each month to be on a separate [...]

I have been watching a couple conversation on other blogs that seem to focused on the issue of disclosure.   To be fair I had to go take a quick look at what the word disclosure “technically” meant.  I know what I thought it meant but I wanted to check anyway.  At dictionary.com the word disclosure [...]

VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol is telephone service via your high speed Internet connection.   You basically sign up with one of the many Voice Over Internet Providers, they send you a piece of hardware that you connect to your network, you plug a phone into this hardware and like magic you have dial-tone.   Well at least that’s [...]

(You’ve probably got a few things in your life that are like herding cats as [...]

On the Deep Lake page I have installed an Mcam 100 Motion Digital Web Camera.  Created by a Korean company,  this camera features 180 degree Pan and 100 degree tilt controlled remotely via the Internet.  It really allows me to enjoy my lake view when I am away traveling for business or when I’m at our other [...]

Here on Projects Possible I run multiple webcams and they are all on a single PC.  The Pan and Tilt camera runs a server that allows remote web control of that camera.  The others run in a “capture” program that grabs the images and uploads them to the blog on a periodic basis.   The problem [...]

This is the first in a series of a few articles that I will be sharing on little tips and tricks in Microsoft Excel that I have accumulated or built over the last few months.  I’ve incorporated most of these into an Excel workbook or two to meet my specific needs.  I’m not really a [...]
