All articles, instruction pages, study notes, news items, etc. can be found here under the Ordered Confusion Menu which basically serves as the blog page. Other menu items (Instructional, Around the Web) group the articles together by topic or theme. You may contact me at the Ordered Confusion Facebook Page.
I found a short video animation of patch panel cable management. This video is helpful to get an overview of the layout of cables in an organization with many networked computer, explaining how a patch panel is used to prevent cable clutter and confusion. The video shows the cabling from a computer on a desk to the wall jack, then from the back side of that wall jack running inside the walls and ceilings to a server room patch panel and from there to the switch.
The animation helps to show how patch panels fit in with networking devices like switches.
You can search Google with the Chrome web browser on Android without getting AI results by choosing the web-only mode from the menu at the top of a Google search page.
This article from JR Raphael at ComputerWorld details how to keep that web-only search as a default, as well as how to set up a web-only search view on the desktop.
If you are using Libre Office and looking for a good check register (which can easily be used for a credit card account, too), I found one here: Personal Checkbook Register
On that page, there is a link to Download the template. After opening the downloaded template, you can start using it, save it and title it, or copy it over to another new or existing spreadsheet file. (This bit assumes you already have Libre Office downloaded. If not, do that first here).
I copied the downloaded template over to use within a workbook I already had. To copy the template along with all the formatting and formulas, just click the upper left corner of the spreadsheet to select the whole thing, Ctrl+C (on Windows) to copy, then select the same upper left corner of the spreadsheet where you want to use the template and this time enter Ctrl+V to paste it in.
For use with credit card accounts, I delete the first column labeled “Check” and change the “Payment” column to “Charges” and the “Deposit” column title to “Payments”. You can easily customize this register to your preferred design and function, such as the colors, fonts, or adding a column for noting categories. Go wild! But, not too wild. This is a spreadsheet after all.
