What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
The days that I put an outgoing letter in my mailbox are some of my favorites. Why? Because I get to put the little red flag up to tell the mail carrier to pick up the mail. And when the mail carrier does pick up the mail, he or she puts the little red flag back down. It's not the little red flag that excites me. It's knowing when the mail has been delivered without having to walk down the driveway to the mailbox to check. Call me lazy but I hate wasted trips only to find out the mail… Continue reading...
My old Internet Service Provider (ISP), Insight Communications was recently bought out (or they merged, I'm not quite sure how it went down) by Comcast. The entire conversion process was actually quite painless. The only real work I had to do was to register for a new comcast.net email address to replace my insightbb.com email address. I didn't even care if I got the same relative email address at Comcast mainly because I never use my ISP's email address. I wish I could say the same for some of my clients. A majority of Noobie's clients use the email address… Continue reading...

Little did I know when I earned the nickname Mr. Noobie a little over a year ago, how popular it would become. Or how many people would support me. I've had lots of visions on what direction Mr. Noobie should go, but thanks to a new grass roots effort born on the Internet, I may be living in that nice, giant house a lot sooner that I had anticipated. That nice, giant white house that is.

I'm feeling rather important today. Maybe because I just received a letter in the mail from Verizon Wireless that started like this: Dear Patric Welch, You're a VIP. It's that simple. You've been automatically enrolled in the 2008 Verizon Wireless VIP Program* at no cost to you. There is nothing you need to except take advantage of all the exclusive benefits now available to you. It's simply our way of thanking you for your continued business. I can't help but wonder what I did to elevate to VIP status with Verizon Wireless. Maybe it's the fact that I've been with… Continue reading...

I almost always consider technology an improvement to my life. But sometimes it can be downright annoying. Take the Olympics for example. Because of the time difference between Indianapolis and Beijing, many of the events have already been completed before they air on the U.S. networks. 20 years ago, this wasn't a big deal. You just made sure you didn't watch the news so that you could pretend any event you were watching was actually live. Fast forward to 2008. In order to not get the results spoiled for any event I am interested in watching I have to ignore… Continue reading...
