| Hi *|FNAME|*,
Welcome
our July newsletter. It was a big June for us so I apologise
for getting this out a day late!
Most of
Australia are in lockdown but fortunately here in Adelaide
(and over in Victoria and Tasmania) things are still to a
certain extent going along as "normal". If the worst
does hit we can provider most services remotely and also help
clients setup for a remote workforce. I've also just had my
second Pfizer jab so am fully immunised against COVID. Other
staff members will be vaccinated when they are eligible
The new
financial year provides a great opportunity to take a step
back and focus on your business plans. Many of us plan to
take the time to do this but get distracted with other things.
One of the big distractions is social media (and I’m guilty
of this). But did you know there are apps that can help block
you from your social media addiction? Cold
Turkey, an app for MS Windows and MacOS, allows you to
block social media (and any other distractions) for an amount
of time dictated by you. And there are alternatives for your
smart phones that do similar things. So if you are easily
distracted it may pay to have a look at one of these programs.
In our
main office we have installed an internet bonding service.
This service combines a local router with some fancy cloud
based SDWAN services to allow businesses to bond multiple
internet links (NBN, fixed wireless, 4G / 5G) connections
together. This service allows you to multiply your Internet
speeds while providing redundancy and failover options with
the same external IP being used across all connections. It
is so good that 2 of my techs already have it installed at
their homes! Please contact
us for more information.
If you would like to catch
up to discuss your IT needs or just for a chat, please let
me know via phone (0412 973 503)
or email (david@dpcomputing.com.au).
Cheers,
David Perkovic - david@dpcomputing.com.au |
| Out
and About |
| Some highlights from June include:
- Dave
F has been setting up a cable and wireless network with
a 10G backbone at a new materials recovery facility in southern
Adelaide. The network is spread out of 4 separate buildings
with fibre between the buildings.
- Stefan
has been working hard for a client which has an old line
of business system running virtually under Linux. He has
worked out how to virtualise it and get it running on a
Windows Server.
- Bevin
has been having loads of fun installing new VOIP phones
at one client while removing VOIP phones from another (they
are moving across to MS Teams calling)!
- We
have also been installing a lot of NAS's (network attached
storage devices) from Synology that provide a cost effective
way of backing up clients Microsoft 365 data and email.
- David
P has been doing some in person business networking and
has joined up with Bx Networking. Let him know if you would
like to come along and meet some other great business owners.

| Beware
Of These Social Media Scams |
| |
You
may think it is a bit of fun to type in your answers to the
quiz, which asks silly questions such as your nickname and
first model of car? You may think it is some plain old fun,
but many of these social media questionnaires are set up by
hackers to steal your identity.

| Everyone
Plays a Role To Prevent Cybersecurity Issues |
| |
Hollywood
films would have us believe that cyberattacks are elaborately
planned and use expensive, sophisticated tools developed by
hackers and geeks is sophisticated labs. But in real life,
most hacks are nothing like that as the first steps cybercriminals
take are to simply fool a human to gain access.

an exorbitant amount later?
