It’s a lot more efficient having a virtual meeting than spending the time and money planning and making a trip out of town. Plus, it’s a great way of going green too. The very nature of web conferencing is eco-friendly, as there is no travel involved, but I’m personally impressed with one web conference provider in particular — iLinc and its Green Meter that actually calculates the energy saving based on where each participant is in the world and how much carbon it would have emitted into the atmosphere if all of these people had traveled to facilitator’s host city. It’s worth a look. They have a demo you can see and free trial you can get at http://www.ilinc.com.

I recently added a new video card and a second monitor to my home PC, because once you’ve experienced that you’ll never want to go back.

My modem freezes every once in a while and I need to power-cycle it and the router. I can’t say that tip can hurt, but probably not as high priority as the others.

Good tips,
Wayne

The fifth suggestion is ridiculous and misleading. Read the comments on the original wifi post to see how ludicrous the suggestion is. Please tell me how on earth rebooting my router will make me more efficient. Either it works or it doesn’t. A case could be made for increasing the throughput by optimizing the router antennas, but that’s stretching it. The article should have been called 4 Simple Ways to Boost Your Efficiency.
