Working with computers for over half my life, I have learned quite a bit on how to use them effectively. I am going to list any computer hints, shortcuts, or how-to's below that I think can really be beneficial to anyone that uses a computer. Some of these you might know and some of these might not help you, perhaps because it involves a program you don't use. But I bet if you work on a computer like me, you'll find something in here helpful.
Windows:
Lock computer quickly - Let's say you need to leave your desk in a quick manner, but you don't want to leave everything open and unattended. The shortcut is: Windows Logo Key + L. On my keyboard at least, that's the button between Fn and Alt, to the left of the Space Bar. This shortcut will quickly lock your computer, and anyone attempting to get on it has to type your password first. It's also easier to do that clicking the start menu and going to lock that way.
Bring up task manager quickly - It's annoying to do CTRL - ALT - DELETE every time to bring up task manager in case you need to end the task of an application. Rather than do that, hit CTRL - SHIFT - ESC and that will automatically bring up the task manager.
To select certain things not in a sequence - Sometimes you want to select a few different items or values that are not in a sequence. Not many people know this, but if you hold CTRL and select this way, it will only add each thing you click to the selection and not everything in between. If you use SHIFT, it will select everything in between. This works for not only selecting icons and files in Windows, but word selections in WORD and values/cells in Excel.
Excel:
Scroll down feature - Sometimes you might work on a spreadsheet with a lot of information, which I have. If you have information that takes up a bunch of uninterrupted rows, select the first row (Cell A1, for example) and then press CTRL + ⬇ (Down arrow), and that will send you to the end of your data. Usually when people input data in a spreadsheet, they start from the top and go down, so this is a helpful shortcut to know.
Input today's date - Dates are often inputted into Excel, so the makers of it designed some shortcuts to help people input them. To put in today's current date, select which cell you would like it to be in and then use CTRL + ; (semi-colon). Now, to input a date that will always be the current date, use the formula =TODAY() That will automatically update to the current date every time you open the spreadsheet. If you need just a date stamp, or you need the spreadsheet to automatically have today's date, those shortcuts/formulas are there for you.
Browser:
Clear history quickly - This shortcut works on Chrome and Microsoft Edge, at least. To quickly bring up the window to delete your browsing history, hit CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE. That will bring it up instantly. On Chrome, you're just a "Clear Data" button press away from clearing your browser history, so it would take 2-3 seconds, tops. Why you would need to clear your browsing history and that quickly... well, that's your business. I am now wondering if this shortcut has saved anyone's job.
Bring up tab you just closed - We've all done it. You're in a hurry, or you think you can close a tab, but then you realize you didn't want to close it. Fortunately, the developers of most browsers thought of a solution. The shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + T will bring up the most recently closed tab. It's been very helpful to me, and it can even be used to bring up more than one tab if need be.
That's it for now, but if I think of or see any others, I will be sure to add them here!

My history with computers
Originally published January 24, 2020
Computers have been such a huge part of my life for a long time. I have owned at least one computer of some kind for 17 or 18 years straight now, longer than some computer using kids have been alive, and I've used them for over 20 years counting the times I used my parents' computers. I have a long history with them, and there were definitely some ups and downs.
Unfortunately, I haven't had the best luck with computers in my life. My first two computers went kaput on me. I don't remember how, but my dad and I tried our very best to fix them so I could continue using them, but to no avail. I lost count of the amount of times we went to Best Buy and had their Geek Squad try to fix them. They each lasted 2-3 years. Each time, I would lose all of my saved documents, files, and games. Fortunately, nothing was that important, but it still was depressing to lose all those things and never be able to have access to them again. However, my third computer is still running today. I got it somewhere between 2007 and 2008 because it has Vista on it (still), and I know I haven't gotten a new one in the last decade. So it's going on 11 or 12 years, doubling the combined run of my previous two personal computers. I call it the little desktop that could.
However, my current PC is having its issues. At first, it seemed to have a small virus on it that caused internet browser windows to pop-up, even when I wasn't using it. I would sometimes come back to my computer and see 40-50+ tabs open on a browser of the same website. It was also being much slower than normal. It was at this point I stopped using it for a while and got myself a laptop, thinking the end was near for it.
Speaking of laptops, I have to go back a bit, because I got my first one as a graduation from high school present. I used that in college a bit and it really came in handy. However, one day after I had already graduated from college, I tried booting it up again, but it wouldn't boot. I was told its battery was fried and replacing it would cost almost as much as a new laptop. I just decided to scrap it and recycle it, having gotten use out of it and because I wasn't using it that much anymore. I then went laptop-less for several years.
After purchasing a new laptop just over a year ago, I just couldn't quite get it running smoothly for whatever reason. I wasn't a huge fan of the laptop in general. I bought it because Amazon recommended it, it got good reviews, and it was a decent price. Oddly, I think my over decade old desktop computer runs a little quicker than my year old laptop. Fortunately, the laptop was not too expensive like I said, so I guess I got what I paid for. I still use it on occasion to this day (for example if I want to be on a computer and watch TV at the same time), but not as often as my desktop computer. For me, I feel more comfortable on a desktop and probably always will.
I was finally able to fix my desktop after running a few anti-virus scans and removing some programs that may have been causing or contributing to it. However, not too long after fixing that, it started having other issues. My computer will randomly crash or freeze from time to time. I get the blue screen of death some of those times. It has on occasion lost its ability to display anything at random times. It acted as if my computer monitor went into sleep mode. I know it was not the monitor, because I once attempted to shut it down using just a keyboard sequence I had written down, and it didn't work. Often force shutting my computer down won't fix it and the display will still not show up when I boot it back up, forcing me to wait several days to use my computer again, which then "fixes" it. And again, my computer still freezes on occasion. And each time that happens, I worry that it might be the time that it is fatal to my PC. I have put all of my important files on my Google Drive and I routinely update them on there in case that ever happens. ☹
I am considering getting a new desktop computer, mainly because it's been so long since I have upgraded (and I feel this one is on its last limbs). One of the main reasons I haven't yet is because I have a bunch of older computer games from the early to mid 2000's that I am almost positive won't work on a newer PC. These games have a special place in my heart because I have played them since my very first computer, and I'd hate it if I could never play them again. I may be able to hold on to my old PC so I could play those games in the future if need be. Just hook it back up like an old video game console. Another reason I haven't gotten a new one is because of the cost, of course. And thirdly because it's hard to make a change of something I've been used to for over a decade. I'm just now getting accustomed to Windows 10 thanks to my laptop and work computers, because I am still so used to Windows Vista.
Funnily enough, the computers that have broken or crashed on me were all Hewlett Packard brand. My first two PCs and my first laptop were all HP. My current PC is a Gateway and my current laptop is an Acer. I just did not have luck with HP brand computers, although I loved their features and I loved them when they were working. After my first PC was an HP, I got used to owning only HP computers. I probably would've continued with HP despite the problems I had with them, but at the time the Gateway PC was the only replacement option the retailer had. That ended up being a blessing in disguise as that Gateway is still with me over a decade later and I like it more than the HP's.
My favorite feature I have ever had on a computer was the ability to watch and record live TV on it. Through a TV coaxial cable connection to my PC, I was able to do just that and watch TV through "Windows Media Center". I could use a remote or my keyboard to go through channels. Of course, I loved recording TV shows on that and watching them later and being able to fast forward through commercials. Unfortunately once cable was upgraded from analog to digital, I was no longer able to do this, but I still have fond memories of that. As a kid, I never thought I'd be able to watch TV through my PC, but I did.
To sum up, right now I have an over decade old desktop computer and a year old laptop that doesn't run as fast as it should. I am probably moving in a little less than 6 months, so I will try to wait until I get settled at my new place before buying a new desktop PC. As for my laptop, I may look into why it's being slow. It's not because I instantly downloaded a lot of games and programs on it. Perhaps I just need to use it more. I have loved computers since preteen me sat down at one and was able to use it. I remember the old dial-up internet days and the days of MSN/AOL instant messenger. At one point, when tablets were first introduced, I thought desktop computers might be going away, but I now realize that was naive of me to think that. Perhaps in home environments we may see less desktop computing, but they will constantly and for the foreseeable future be a part of the workplace.
Update: My laptop seems to be running better as of late, although I'm still not using it that often. As for my desktop, I've basically stopped using it. It hasn't frozen in a while, but unfortunately I am getting some display issues. The screen will have static over white areas, and it's a bit hard on the eyes. I am not sure if it's the monitor or the desktop, and frankly, I don't know which I'd prefer it to be. I might have to check the connection with the monitor's cable, or maybe see if I can hook up the monitor to anything else. I've only been on my computer once this year so far, and that was to get a few files off of it that I needed.
I also found out that a couple of my favorite computer games were on Steam. These two games are each over 15 years old. I saw they were on an incredible sale, and I paid about $5 total to get those two games on my laptop. Even though I already own those games, Steam makes it possible to play older games on newer PCs.

Expanding on my skills
Originally published October 15, 2019
In my profile there are a list of skills I have, and I'd like to go over them in case there were any concerns or questions about them, or just so that anyone reading this could know a bit more about me. ☺
Communication: I took a couple communication classes in college, and I consider myself a good communicator. I am very good at communicating through e-mail and I have a lot of experience communicating over the phone from my past job. I know how to approach certain situations and I know what language to use in difficult situations, like handling a difficult customer.
Basic HTML: It's not much, but I know basic HTML. I took a few computer classes in high school which taught me this, as well as a couple computer science classes in college. I guess you could say I have a basic understanding of C++ and Javascript as well, although it's been a little while and I didn't fully understand C++ programming in the computer science class I took.
Type 75+ WPM: I can type 75 or more words per minute. As I said in my "Ways to stay productive" post, I increased my typing speed 20 words per minute by all the writing and blogging I did in my free time over the past few years. I often do typing tests just for fun, such as the one on typingtest.com, and unless I get distracted I always get at least 75 WPM, my best being in the low 80's. I remember around when I was in high school, I would have to look down every so often to see where I was typing, but now I can type without having to look at the keyboard at all. I don't think I have the perfect typing technique because my hands aren't ever set at the A-F, J-; positions and I make a few errors, but I am working on fine-tuning my typing skills and trying to cut down on the errors. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
Microsoft Word/Excel Proficiency: If you can believe it, I used Word and Excel a bit at my last job, mostly with bookkeeping. I have also used them quite a bit at home. I've used these programs since the '99 versions came out, so I have almost 20 years of experience with them. And with all my experience in using these two programs, it's safe to say I'm "proficient" at using them. And now with me having used them a bit here, I learned even more things about these two programs, so I feel confident in using either of them for basically anything. I wouldn't consider myself an "expert" at using Excel or Word, but I certainly believe I know more than the average person.
Time Management: At my last job, time management was a critical part of certain roles I was assigned. I was on occasion the Front End Manager, which meant I had to schedule people's breaks accordingly and know when I could get other things done besides attending to the front end. I was also on occasion the bookkeeper or closing customer service person, which meant I had to manage my time wisely so I could finish my jobs on time and not have to stay late. The main thing I took away from everything was to learn to prioritize. Get stuff that has to be done, done first. But the main reason I believe I have this skill is that I took an assessment for time management on Indeed and I scored a "Highly Proficient".
Basic Bookkeeping: As I said above, I was the occasional bookkeeper for my old store. I had to balance all areas of income for the store and I had to balance checkstand lanes using the Veribalance program. It wasn't extremely difficult thanks to the programs we used, which is why I said "basic" bookkeeping, but I did learn a few things about bookkeeping that could potentially help me in the future.
Customer Service: Working a decade in retail, it's hard not to develop a great customer service skill. I learned how to act towards customers. Basically, it involves being a good listener and telling them what they want to hear (even if it's not true or you don't believe it). If you can't, do your best to explain to them why you can't and try to get them to put themselves in your shoes. Of course that doesn't work with everyone, as some people are incapable of any sympathy whatsoever. And then if you have to deal with someone upset, just knowing that they're having a worse day than you are works pretty well for me. But customer service is also seeming to be in a positive mood (even if you're not) and give everyone you help a smile.
Lottery Sales: Part of my job working the customer service desk was selling Lottery tickets for the Washington State Lottery. I know as much about the Lottery games as anyone, having sold them for four years. I could easily jump back in and sell them again right now, having not lost any knowledge of the games. It does take a bit of time to learn all there is to know about the games, and in lottery sales you have to remain upbeat and keep telling customers they'll win next time, even though they probably won't.
Trained as a Western Union Money Transfer Agent: Western Union if you didn't know, is a money transfer service available across the globe. You can basically send money from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world. I got trained to be an agent who sends money for people to various destinations across the globe. I also got experience with spotting scams and fraud attempts, which I can say we definitely got a few of those. This also involved having the patience to assist someone who doesn't know what they're doing or who made a mistake. On some unfortunate occasions I had to help customers for close to half an hour to fix an error, which most of that time was taken up by calling Western Union and getting them to fix the error.
There are more professional skills I have acquired, but aren't quite that interesting or relevant. I am trained to operate an electric pallet jack, because I put the perishable grocery loads away on occasion. I have done inventory as both a bookkeeper (for money, lottery tickets, stamps, etc.) and for grocery items. I got trained to use two different POS (Point of Sale) systems, an older one with a bunch of buttons and a newer one with a touch screen. I have cash handling as a skill as I am able to do quick math when it comes to money if need be. Also, as I told every interviewer in my job search process, I have a work ethic that I consider to be unmatched. At my last job, I would often stay late if I hadn't finished the necessary stuff on time (usually because we were busy). I would stay late to cover shifts for people who called in sick. I worked a 12 hour day a few times, from 10 to 10, because we had someone who was battling a sickness and their position couldn't be covered by many people.
But I think my most important skill I possess is my willingness and ability to learn, and fairly quickly I might add. I enjoy learning new things and adding skills and things I know how to do to my repertoire. Whenever someone is willing to show me something new, I show just as much willingness to learn and/or improve. And as I said, I am a fairly quick learner and once I figure things out I just go like nothing can stop me. Learning a new skill is fun for me and the first few times I employ that skill are fun as well.

But I think my most important skill I possess is my willingness and ability to learn, and fairly quickly I might add. I enjoy learning new things and adding skills and things I know how to do to my repertoire. Whenever someone is willing to show me something new, I show just as much willingness to learn and/or improve. And as I said, I am a fairly quick learner and once I figure things out I just go like nothing can stop me. Learning a new skill is fun for me and the first few times I employ that skill are fun as well.
