How do I Practice Green Computing

Before showing how I practice green computing, I would firstly explain the meaning of green computing first. Green computing, also called green technology, is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources.

There are many ways that I practice green computing. Firstly, I always use notebook computer rather than the desktop computer. Using notebook computer is saving more energy than the desktop one. The second way is telecommuting. I always talk and consult about work through vdo conference since I used MSN until using Line application now. The benefits of using telecommuting are reducing time, transportation cost and also gas emission due to the transportation. Lastly, according to many subjects, I have ever studied, which required students to do research. My friends and I always created online questionnaire and sent to my friends. Benefits are not only convenience but reducing the use of paper. Moreover, when I discussed about the work with my friends, we always use soft file rather than using paper to print the work.

Dropped an iPhone in Water?

                 Here’s How to Save It from Water Damage :

6 Things To-Do Immediately if iPhone has Water Contact

Want to save your iPhone? Drop everything and do this first, before putting it in rice:

1. Remove from water as soon as humanly possible (obvious, right? But seriously, seconds can matter here so move quick)
2. Turn the iPhone off immediately by holding down the power button until it shuts off
3. Remove any case or enclosure right away since they can trap in moisture, screen protectors are fine to leave on unless there’s an obvious water bubble
4. Dry out the iPhone as best as you can using cloth (t-shirt, socks, whatever is readably available) or an absorbent material. Wipe down the screen, sides, and back. Pay special attention to the power button, volume buttons, mute switch, speakers and microphones, and the audio output jack, try and get all visible moisture soaked up
5. Use a Q-Tip if possible to try and soak up extra water from the audio output jack and in small crevices. If you’re out and about or have no q-tips handy, a little stick or sharp pencil poking through a t-shirt or cotton material can work too
6. Disconnect any headphones, ports, chargers, USB cables, or accessories immediately

Now with all visible water removed, you’re ready to stuff the iPhone into a rice bag.

Put the iPhone Into a Sealed Bag Full of Rice

Here are the basic requirements:

• A zip-lock bag or similar that is air tight
• Rice, any generic type, ideally not “enriched” (more on that in a second)
• Patience for at least 36 hours

Fill a zipper locked bag fairly full of rice so that the entire iPhone will be covered like in the picture below, then place the iPhone into the bag and seal it shut with some air in the bag.

Any type of rice works, but try to avoid enriched rice, the reason being that whatever enriches it leaves a lot of white residual powder in the bag and it will also get into the ports and buttons on the iPhone. Enriched rice does still work (it’s actually what I learned), but knowing now that it leaves a lot of mystery white powder gunked up in places, I’ll probably go buy a bag of normal rice for any potential future water-meets-iPhone encounters. The patience part is the hardest, and generally the longer you wait the better the likely outcome because you want all water inside the device to be completely absorbed by the rice before trying to power it on again. I left my iPhone in the air-tight rice bag for around 36 hours, but there’s no harm in leaving it in for 48 hours. Any less may work but it also could be inadequate, so therefore longer is better.

Success! Saved from Water Damage

My ERP Presentation

According to my ERP presentation on last Tuesday, the topic that I chose was about the benefits of mobile ERP. Before I chose this topic, I first studied about the meaning of ERP and some of the interesting topics. Finally, I found out this topic that was about 'Mobile ERP' or cloud-based ERP system. I chose this topic since nowadays mobile technology become the important factor of everyone's daily life. People always use electronic devices or smart phone to communicate to each other instead of call or face-to-face communication like in the past. Therefore, mobile should be one of the devices that implemented this ERP program. Moreover, after I further studied about the benefits of implementing mobile ERP, it is very useful for many companies, especially companies that employ remote workforce, to check inventory, stay connect to business when managers have to travel and also to create customer satisfaction.

However, after I presented this topic, I found out that there were many topics that were interesting. Furthermore, the way I presented was not professional since I misunderstood that students had to present like public speaking. But, we could actually prepare slide for presentation. Therefore,  for the next presentation I will prepare slide in order to make it more interesting.

My (IT) Plan B

           Since I am very forgetful person, I forget almost everything including memory in the past, lol. Sometimes when my friends tell me something that we did together in the past, I realized that I have already forgotten it all. Moreover, I ever forgot my flash drive which has many projects of many subjects inside in my classroom, but at that time my teacher kept it for me. I am very impressed with her kindness. Therefore, since I studied at school until now, when I have to responsible for a big project, I have to save file in many places that are 2 flash drives, e-mail to my e-email and also e-mail to my friends if that project is a group work in order to prevent that I may forget my flash drive somewhere.
