Green up(s) your home office

Green | Posted by admin

Start by putting your PC to sleep using Wizmo. Although I have my computer set to hibernate when it’s been idle for 20 minutes, if I know I’m leaving or away from the computer, with one click I can send my PC to bed: Wizmo hibernate

In addition to my computer, I have a number of other devices plugged in to my ups (battery backup). So before hitting bed each night a simple push on the ups off button and I can put all those devices to bed too. Try it, you might be surprised when you get your next electric bill.

Wizmo – tiny but oh so useful Windows utility

Windows | Posted by admin

Used this tiny utility since forever and can’t imagine being without. Wizmo – created by Steve Gibson of Gibson Research Corporation has several very handy uses. But the two I use the most are to shutdown or reboot my Windows box with a single click. You can get this freeware here: http://www.grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm
