Simpler is Better

If you were a brain surgeon, would family members ask “Do you have anything for a headache?” But since you’re in IT, they have no qualms about asking “Why is my hard drive so full?” Here is a little utility to have on your thumb drive so you can quickly diagnose their issue, and get back to that game of horse shoes.  It’s called Piechart.exe. It inspects the drive or folder you identify, and shows you a pie chart of what’s taking up space. You can click on each piece of the pie to see what files and folders make up that piece. It’s an easy way to figure out what’s filling up your hard drive, and then delete anything that’s junk. I think it’s quite an old program, and can’t see everything on Windows servers, and it’s getting a bit buggy on Windows 10. But it’s so simple, it is still my Go-To tool.

UUCL Website

UUCL Website

This year I took over responsibility for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Lancaster’s website. It was on WIX, which meant it was difficult to have concurrent editors and the site was only marginally responsive. We also couldn’t schedule the publishing, so every Monday we needed to add the upcoming service to the website. We rebuilt the site on WordPress using a theme from UUA.org. It went live in August. There is still much to do, but we like the functionality so far.

We can have concurrent editors, the site is responsive, and events and services can be added ahead of time and automatically show up at the correct times. You can have a look at https://www.uuclonline.org/

Some of the plugins we use are WPForms, Simple History, Wordfence, Jetpack and Updraft Plus.
