Three common PC problems

My computer won’t turn on
If your computer will not turn on check the connection to the power and ensure all the switches are on as well as the connection to the screen is plugged in correctly to ensure you get display




My computer is slow
It is probably filled with nessacary files and needs to be cleared of unnessacary files and non-needed startup programs to be disabled



I can’t connect to the internet

Ensure LAN connections are plugged in correctly and if not Wi-Fi is turned on and internet is connected

My name is connor Houston. I studied at Wakari primary school as a child and then in intermediate went to Balmacewen and finally Otago boys high school where I studied IT, Catering,  Statistics and English. I love games and web development, I enjoy a wide variety of games including first person shooters, visual novels and JRPG’s (Japanese role playing games). I would love a job in IT support and I start work at EB games soon and am hoping to enjoy it thoroughly.

My favourite game Is final fantasy XII. I started playing it as a child it is a very long game with over 300 hours of gameplay in it, I have played through it about 4 times, it is very difficult and is very often regarded as the worst game in the series. This is because it is different to the previous iterations in the series as it was a real time strategy game as opposed to the previous turn based games. I enjoy the game due to its engrossing story line. You can even ride chocobos and feed them gryshal greens to speed them up

Maybe there are copies of me on countless world lines. Maybe all their minds are connected, forming a single "me." That sounds wonderful, don't you think? Being in all times and in all places. A strong love for someone... a strong belief in something... a strong desire to convey something... If all those things go beyond time to create "you"... ...then that would be magnificent. So don't think of it as letting me die. Even if the world line changes, as long as you don't forget me, I'll always be there. ... I'm sure that from now on you're going to suffer. You'll be in a world where no one but you remembers me. You care more about your friends than anything else, so I think it's going to be painful for you. I'm so sorry. But that pain will mean a lot to me. Whenever you're sitting around in the lab, whenever you sip a drink, whenever you walk around town ... it doesn't have to be every time - one time out of a hundred is fine. All I ask is that you remember me ... because I'll be there. I'll always be there.

How to be a service desk god


If you want to become truly the best service desk and most excellent service desk manager follow these quick tips.





Patience:
Patience is important for any service desk as sometimes customers can get infuriating and you may end up talking in loops however you have to work at the customers pace to get real progress made.

Social skills:
As someone working on a service desk you always need to be helpful and friendly to your customers just as you would your parents or friends.

Technical skills:
You must be knowledgeable about the topic you are to be dealing with and must have some knowledge other than the flow chart in front of you to deal with unexpected questions.

Willingness to learn:
Times will always be changing and as such so will technology, so you as a service desk manger need to keep up to date with the changing tech and work hard to always be ahead of the customer’s knowledge by setting aside time to learn and research yourself.





So remember. Follow these tasks to be the best service desk manager around

Story telling

My name is Connor Houston

From a young age I have always enjoyed playing video games, and now I am a video game collector with 250+ games in my collection.
I spend a lot of time socializing with friends and am currently looking for a part time job, although currently I work at reachmedia as a pamphlet distributor for
I am also very interested in anime and often interact with the online community.
However I am more well known amongst the PlayStation online community as I am always interested in old and rare PlayStation games and accessories.


I studied at otago boys high school and completed level 3 last year, My best subjects being catering and IT respectively.

Aside from in class at otago boys I have had an interest in IT and have been tinkering with computers since I was around 12-13.

I hope to next year study the BIT at otago polytechnic
