Hello Friday! What a week, huh? 🙃 The world is a little weird right now because of COVID-19. Our small towns here in The Valley (and a bit beyond - Looking south down 220 and along our scenic NY border!) aren't feeling the full weight of what's happening in larger cities. Frankly, that's one of the reasons that many of us choose to live here. We don't have the personal space problems of overcrowded cities. But, we know that it could and probably will reach us eventually. The danger of the disease itself is a worry for older and compromised people, as well as our local hospitals. You can stay updated by checking in with local authorities on Facebook or Twitter. Our local newspapers and television/radio stations will also have updates on their websites. For our part, we can help local businesses set themselves up for employees working from home. We are developing a short checklist of things that a small business should take into consideration when employees are at home communicating and working from networked computers. We will have that available over the weekend and will post when it is ready. It will not be all inclusive as each business has individual needs. Here's the free stuff for Friday. Right now both Google and Microsoft are offering free versions of their enterprise collaboration software. Slack has always had a free version. Microsoft Teams is highly recommended by us. It is also a favorite of some of our current enterprise clients. It's secure, easy to use and will blend well with any business already using Microsoft products. Obviously, you need a Microsoft account to sign up. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is also available for iPhone and Android. Click on the image to learn more. Google is offering a limited version of their GSuite service for free for a limited time. I use GSuite and have always found it a bit confusing, but usable. There is extensive documentation available. The free software as a service they are offering is basically secure teleconferencing for small to large groups. It is Software as a Service, so it is available for all platforms. Click below to learn more. Slack is one of the most used collaboration apps online and they have always had a free version for small teams, but it is very limited. You can view what their free/paid software does here. You can also learn how Slack works by clicking the logo below. It is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. Give us a call today for a consultation. (570-882-8851) As always, we here at Sayre Computer are here to help all the small businesses here in the The Penn-York Valley (and beyond, south on 220, east and west along the NY/PA border and north into the Finger Lakes) get through this thing and help people stay safe and healthy by working at home.
It's Friday!
Have you ever wondered where you can get 130 MP3 files of the various sounds people make when they pass gas? No? Burping? No? Okay, I'm not really interested in that either, but I bet someone out there is. On the other hand, I'm interested in animal noises to use as ringtones. Really interested. ZapSplat is a web site that has free sound effects for just about anything you could ever want for any purpose - An audio play, a podcast, background noises for a slide show, music, what ever. Before you can download the MP3s you have to sign up for a basic account (use one of your junk emails!), but once you do, it's yours for the taking. It downloads easily and the site is safe. (I ran it through Google Safe Browsing and it came out clean.) Hello Monday! Here are some bright colors to lighten your week. All four are 1200x1920 and I got them from various Telegram Groups. Enjoy!
