I love to share my thoughts and little tips and tricks with clients. I especially like hearing their amusement at how simple it can be to do things on a pc.
I’d like to share these with you. So my first articles will be tips and tricks I already know of and use regularly. But as I find other cool tricks, I’ll post it here. Both as a way to share this knowledge and somewhere for me to refer to in the future 🙂

Thanks for reading
