About Me

My photo
Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India
Old soul who reincarnated in this lifetime as the grandson of late Mrs. Jayalakshmi Karuppannan of South India, I was born and bought up in a place called Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu state, people first tend to like me and expectations becomes more and later they feel should have not liked me in the first place. I'am what I'am, I always wanted to be myself and do what I wanted to do, so don't trust me. I believe in chance, coincidence, chaos, and contradiction. The less sense I can make of something with my mind and the more nonsensical it is, as vain and egotistical as I can be, I realize that there is a vast percentage of my life that I am not in immediate control of and that control is largely a modern day illusion. I'am passionate about bikes & cars, like to travel a lot & I'am a great fan of 

As this blog should show, it poses me beeing something like a geek in computers. Most people and friends knowing me, are often asking me for help with their computer problems.

If you know what I mean, then you will know that there are a lot of noobs and wannabe profis. But, when the problem is unsolvable for them, they will come to you asking for aid.

On phone or chat it mostly is too complicated to explain complex things in simple words, especially if the other does not have any glue of it, at all.

In that cases I am using remote control software and I absolutely prefer LogMeIn. But sometimes, you do not have a profile on their machine for several reasons, mostly a fresh re-install.

If no LogMeIn is available, I use ShowMyPc.com. It is a website presenting a one-click-remote control:

You both open that site. The remote computer selects “Show My PC” and you use“View other PC”. The showing PC generates a code which needs to be entered by the viewing PC and then the connection is established encryptedly.

And best, it works thru any firewall. It seems to be based on VNC technology and for the Mac a Java version is included, so that you can remote a PC or a Mac.
