Sometimes when using a computer, some users get irritated when their computers get hang, get slow and sometimes get black-out (the monitor suddenly turned to black). In solution this problem, I would like to share some of troubleshooting methods that you can apply when it comes to computer problems.

1.     The computer or laptop does not open or boot.
·         Check the power plug of your computer, maybe it is loose.
·         Check the voltage of your computer if it fits with the electric voltage of your AVR or IPS.
·         Check your operating system boot manager to see if the required system files are stored on your hard disk.

2.    The mouse and the keyboard are not working.
·         Check the peripheral’s connection to your computer if it is correctly connect to your computer.
·         Check if the peripherals are truly working.

3.    The printer is not printing a document.
·         Make sure that your printer is plugged in.
·         Check if the printer is installed to your computer.
·         Check if you are using tour printer as a default printer.
·         Check the connections between your computer and printer.
·         Make sure that your printer is working properly.

4.    The monitor gets blacked out.

·         Restart your computer.
·         Check if your laptop is battery empty.
·         Check the plugged of the monitor.
·         Check the connections between the CPU and the monitor.
·         Check if the required voltage for the monitor is acquired.

5.    The computer became slow.
·         Check if you have an anti-virus in your system.
·         Remove unnecessary programs installed in your computer.
·         Remove unnecessary services in your computer.
·         Better update your computer system to increase performance.
·         Restart your system.
·         Check the specification of your computer. If it is an old specification of computer, better buy a new one.

If my suggestions do not work out, better use a system restore or restore your system by using the installer of your operating system. If this does not worked out too, contact a computer technician or an IT Specialist for consultation.

Best Information Technology in Nueva Ecija - Tips on Programming

                   One of the best information technology experience in Nueva Ecija is doing a computer programming. As an BSIT student here in Central Luzon State University, Nueva Ecija, I would like to share to you some common tips in doing a computer program.

If you have a problem in programming, I have some tips for you:
1. Understand first the project that you are developing.
You must be aware on the functions of the project that you are doing. Try to be familiar with the codes that you will be using in your program.
2. Use descriptive variable names.
Some of the programmers easily get confused when they are making a program because of the variable names that they are using. Try to use related variables to avoid confusion.
3. Use appropriate data types.
The data type that you must use must be appropriate to the data that you want to input or output. If it is a string, use character type. If it is a decimal, use double or float. If it is a whole number, use integer.
 4. Use simple algorithms and data structures whenever possible.
One of the characteristic of good programming is that you are able to use a clear and concise programming algorithms. This will help you to understand your own code.
5. Comment your program liberally.
Use comments so that you can read your code easily and clearly.
6. Write modular programs by dividing a large program into several smaller programs that you isolate from one another.
This will make possible if you are using functions.
7. Choose the right algorithm and data structure for your program.
After testing your algorithms for your project, you are now able to choose the right algorithm for your program.
 8. Eliminate all unnecessary instructions or variables.
Polish your program by eliminating all unnecessary codes.
 9. Find bugs and errors of your program.
After finishing your program, find bugs and errors for the improvement of your project.

What is a programmer?

       Accompanied with computer programming is of course, a computer programmer. But first, let's define what is a computer programmer does.
     Some of the books about computer programming define a computer programmer as a person that writes, tests, and maintains programs. They write programs according to specific details given to them by software engineers and system analysts. Programmers convert other people's designs into a logical series of instructions for computers to follow. Programmers use many languages such as COBOL, Prolog, Java, C++, and ACTOR. Programmers usually know multiple languages and because of the similarities between languages can learn new ones fairly quickly. 
For me, being an IT programmer is difficult. Why? Because on my experience, if there is a program or a machine problem to be made, I usually losing an idea on how can I start or end the program. It is also difficult to find bugs and errors out of your program. Inspite of this, I am proud that I'm an IT because of what can I do that others cannot do.
