Working together can be productive

Today I went over to my partner's place to do some work. He is a freelance writer and since I'm into Internet Marketing, and I'm not good in writing, thus we decide to work together and help each other out. Which Is cool. :)

What I realize from our partnership and the time i spent working today together with him, I realize that people can be more productive when you are working together with someone. We help each other to be more focused, and we agreed to meet up at least twice a week in order to make sure we are going in the right direction.

Sometimes, it's really pain in the ass when we are alone and it's so easy to get off course, plus when you're with someone, you don't feel that sleepy at all. Which is good for me. :P. (Usually i get very sleepy in the afternoon and I'm always half asleep at that time) *Ashamed*

Alright, time to work, today we're suppose to finish off one of our project by today. Hope it'll be done soon.

Formatting work

Formatting pc/laptop is not one of my main forte. But if I get some small jobs for it, I'll do it. Gotta have the 'just do it mentality'. Someone once told me that, if you're paid RM500 you should do a RM5000 job, and you will succeed in life. Wonder if that is a good idea.

Anyway, I was given a new Acer 4310 laptop to format and it's loaded with a Window Vista. In future, if anyone is buying Vista, please make sure you have at least 1 gig of ram to run your vista, if not please insist the shop guy to change your Operating System to Window XP. It is so slow when it is running on a 512 RAM machine.

The laptop is loaded with a SATA hard disk. Now, when you want to format it with Window XP (startup), please ensure you change the SATA mode to IDE mode. If you don't do that, when you startup with your XP CD to format, XP would not recognize your hard disk. But after changing it to IDE mode, then it's fine.

Now after you have loaded your window XP inside, always ensure you install your laptop / pc driver in order for it to run properly. Usually we can find all these drivers from the laptop's brand website. Like if you're having ACER, you can find your driver at the ACER website. Please make sure you choose the right driver as well, if not it wont run properly.

Once you have installed all your drivers, make sure you add some protection softwares inside like Antivirus (Bitdefender / Avast) and Firewall (Zonealarm). Finally after loading all the softwares inside your laptop, now you're ready to go. :)


Terminology:
Format - format means clearing your laptop / pc, and reinstalling (putting) a new operating system to your laptop / pc. What is operating system? Operating systems are like Window XP, Window 2000, Window 98, Linux Red Hat, and etc...

Ram - computer memory. Just make sure you check your ram type. There is SD ram, DD ram, and RD ram.
