How-Tos

a way for people to share knowledge, and help others out with what they know.

Let’s work together to be more efficient, use our resources more wisely, and share our knowledge!

Current Projects:

  • Backup your phone contacts, & show you how to restore them!
  • Help tune up bike, & show how to do so.
  • De-tint vehicle windows so you can see in cloudy Seattle.

Previous Projects:

  • Fix broken car window glass.
  • Switch fridge door so it opens in the correct direction.

Help with my Phone!: How to choose & back up your Fancyphone!

Get ahold of me in person, for now… I’ll help you never lose your info again!

For now…

Let’s start with what I know about the Tech World, specifically Social Media:

Twitter:
A common twitter faux-pas is to start a tweet with an “@-reply”, such as:

@DicksDriveIn has the best fries!

An “@-reply” is super useful in having and sharing a conversation, but:

Know this: A tweet starting with “@” will only be seen by the user replied to, and by those who follow both you and the @-replied user.

(In this case, only users following both you AND @DicksDriveIn would see your thrilling review of their successful potato treat… probably not a helpful group of people if you’re trying to tell those who may have never heard of the place to check Dick’s out)

What To Do: Starts the tweet with a different character. Common notation uses a period: “.”, as so:

.@DicksDriveIn has the best fries!

This tweet will go out to ALL of your followers, and @DicksDriveIn will hear about it!

What Is This?

This is a project of Forrest’s. You can ask a question, answer, and grow this knowledge exchange!
