About Kevin

I consider the content I create and the work I do a privilege, and I will never take that for granted.

Hello! My name is Kevin! I live in Red Deer, Alberta, and previously lived in Lethbridge, Comox, Leduc, and other places growing up across Canada, as my Dad was in the Military.

I’ve been incredibly passionate about computers since I was 12 and have used every version of Windows since version 3.1 (yes, I know I’m dating myself there). I have a Network Specialist Certificate, but most of my knowledge is self-taught from real-world situations.

My goal here is simple: to provide useful information that is relevant and helpful to you. I want us to build a community here, and answer your tech questions.

My best advice is to set reasonable expectations. Don't worry about everything Windows (or a Mac) can do. I recommend focusing on what you want to do with it on any given day, and learning will come naturally. I hope my Quick Tips and other content will gently walk you through the steps to resolve issues.

That said, I am always open to feedback and suggestions! How can I change what I'm doing to better help you enjoy learning about technology?

Meet Nala

She’s my Office Assistant. She’s a bit shy, and it takes time to earn her trust, but she’s friendly, and she has a Queen personality, so she does things only if SHE wants to. She’s 8 1/2 years old. She’s more curious than anything, and she never bites, but she sometimes nibbles playfully. If she’s in the mood, she tends to say hello, then she’ll go do her own thing again.

She likes a quiet home, but appreciates some activity, playing with her toys, a few things happening, and occasionally new people. Keeps her from getting bored too often.

She has lived in a few places in her short life so far, but has settled in very well here, where she’ll stay for the rest of her life.

She enjoys getting attention, napping, playing, or looking out the windows.
