Ten Tips For A Tech Problem Free Vacation

Heading off for vacation? Things here are my top 10 tips for a technology problem-free high holiday before you go to and what to do during the holidays to protect and enjoy your gadgets and gadget: 1. Disconnect. Yes, I know. That's what we hope to do on your flight. But take a leap of gadgets, too. Unplug the computer and printer. This protects against power surges or nearby lightning strikes while you're away. The same with the cable modem, router and wireless hub.2. Auto-reply to work e-mail and telephone. If you use Microsoft Outlook through an Exchange server at work, go to options and compose an automatic response that says that people will leave the office for a while "and not responding to them. Give a person at work contact in your absence. Do the same with voice mail work.3. Do not announce that Nobody's Home. The work is one thing. But do not put a "not here" message on your home phone. Like cells that mail in the mailbox telling thieves Nobody's Home, so it is possible, an interior minister says the caller that you are on holiday. Instead, keep the same message, but make sure you have the code for playing the other verification messages phone.4. Pack your chargers. For your cell phone, camcorder, digital camera and iPod. Some people even carry extra power strip that not all points sale of pork in your holiday getaway.5. Stay away from water. You do not, but the gadget. I have a friend who bought a camera for a vacation in Florida. At Sea World, Shamu jumped and thought he got a great picture of your son receiving sketches. The problem was, what the camera. E 'ruined.Salt water is the worst for electronic devices. And while a single exposure to fresh water or light rain can not be destroyed, if the camera is also a small amount of salt water into the interior, is a goner.6. Keep your camera. Use the straps. I just lost to a new brand of digital cameras. I was taking pictures of their grandchildren, and one of them running and punched my arm. The camera fell to the concrete, breaking the glass and case. Use the strap that comes with the cameras. Wrap around the hand or neck.7. Think about storage. Make sure you have a great enough memory card to store all the photos you take. I would suggest a minimum of 512 MB can store around 125 photos of good quality. A 1GB card holds around 250 images.The only thing worse than forgetting the charger and juice operation is unable to take more pictures because the memory is full. With the cameras, have extra tapes.8 miniDV. Bring a laptop for one thing, you can transfer some of those images to a laptop computer and free up more memory . But on the other, the phone is great for reviewing photos at the end of each day. Creating a presentation of the times of day. Looking over the photos is a great way to spend time on a rainy day. In addition, Most resorts and hotels offer free Internet connections. Otherwise, a library or Starbucks offers wireless access so you can send your family and friends in a picture or check e mail.9. Bring Ziploc bags for the beach . The sand can cause almost as many problems as water. When you take the cell phone and iPod and other devices to the beach, keep them in those clear bags that can be sealed to protect the outside to enter and keep it in the sun for long periods of time.10. Create a blog vacation. Remember when we used to go over the houses of some friends to see vacation pictures projected on a screen? Now we blog.
