Welcome to GilsMethod.com – Easy to follow help, tips, and technology how-to guides.

The moment I sat in front of a computer I was hooked. I’ve always like to tinker with computer innards and all the software I could get my hands on. Among family and friends I became known as the “computer genius” and the “computer whiz,” titles which I consider to exaggerate my knowledge of computers. I consider myself someone who knows enough and is always willing to learn something new. Of course with this reputation of being a “computer genius” the calls for help and questions from family and friends were never ending. One day I decided to post on an online blog solutions and how-to’s to common questions and problems faced by friends a family, this is how Gil’s Method was born, on July 2005 to be exact.

As stated before the blog was started as a hobby and eventually became the blog you see today. Over time more and more people visited the blog, it was featured on several web sites like, Digg, Techguy, and others, however college and a full time job kept me busy enough from updating the blog as frequently as I would have liked to, nevertheless, 2008 is the year I chose to commit more time and resources to update Gil’s Method as frequently as I had originally intended.

I hope you find this blog to be of great use and an essential resource for all of your computer questions, I also hope that you find the tutorials easy to follow and something you would share with your family and friends. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about Gil’s Method. If you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact me.
