About the Blog

I often run into Computing or Auto Problems, and sometimes both. Sometimes it is near impossible to find solutions to the troubles I have and so when I do find a solution, I wanted to keep a record, and share it with others so that they won't have the same difficult time finding the answer as I did.

I Hope this helps and that If anyone likes this blog, will send me solutions to their more obscure problems that were difficult to find so that I can post it and build a blog full of obscure or difficult problems to solve, and plain and simple solutions posted for all to benefit.

Thanks for Checking this out!
