How to Add a User to a WordPress Multisite Via Database as an Administrator
A while back we were given permission to host and edit a clients’ website, built on WordPress with Multisite functionality.

10 Reasons Why I Chose the Apple iPhone 5 Over an Android Phone – Namely Samsung Galaxy S3

Curtis/Proscan Products – RJH Solutions Doesn’t Provide Technical Support For Them
Over the last few weeks I have been inundated with phone calls on advice on how to support a Curtis/Proscan tablet that doesn’t work for some reason, based on my website being linked to mine. I want to set the record straight: RJH Solutions does not generally provide technical support on products made or distributed by Curtis/ProScan. Sorry for my bluntness.
RJH Solutions was hired to build the website containing the products – that’s as far as it goes.

Manually install it, of course! However, Google Play isn’t available for this device, but the next-best thing, the Android Market, is. Installing Android Market was a straightforward process. I followed the following steps, courtesy of The Digital Reader:
The Evolution of the Modern Computer
The evolution of the modern computer is a fascinating tale, and one that spans several centuries. The term computer used to refer to a person who worked out calculations or computations. This term was coined in 1613 and did not change its meaning from “guy who knows math really well” to “that mechanical marvel that [...]
What is the SRS file in Microsoft Outlook? (And where is it?)
I frequently tell people to “delete the SRS” to fix problems with send and receives, especially when Outlook crashes when they try to view the Send and Receive menu or do a send and receive. If you haven’t guessed yet, SRS is the send and receive settings file. It holds the configurations found in the [...]
Reality 101 Rantings
Some universities and colleges will hire someone in the working world that “made it” to give a lecture in the “real world.” From my personal experience, I didn’t find those too helpful from the ones I attended.
