1: Computer sales

As far as IT jobs go, being a salesperson at a computer store is about as stress-free as it gets. Sure, you need to deal with customers who often have no idea what they are talking about but come armed with a bunch of misinformation from the Internet and from their friends. But you know what? Sales folks don’t take their work home or have to deal with deadlines, and that alone makes a huge difference in the stress levels.

2: Desktop support technician

Desktop support can be tough, for sure. People’s PCs are not working and you need to get them back up and running as quickly as possible. The good news is, you should have a supply of PCs ready to go to get the user back up and running quickly if the problem is bad, so you can fix the broken machine in the shop. And yes, you are often forced to support a wide variety of applications, many of which you rarely have to work with. At the same time, most of the problems you see are the same list of issues, like bad hard drives and broken mice. Most important for the stress levels, while someone’s personal work (or a project) may get delayed until you fix the issue, systems administrators and network engineers have to fix problems that often affect entire departments, buildings full or people, or even the entire company.

3: Backups administrator

Believe it or not, some companies are big enough to have folks dedicated completely to managing backups. The beauty of this job is that while needing to restore from backup is a super-critical task, it is a rare issue. The majority of your day is spent doing routine tasks that are not under the gun on deadlines.

4: Configuration (or presales) engineer

If you’ve ever dealt with a company to spec out a server, you’ve worked with a configuration engineer. They come in a variety of flavors, but the common theme is that they are not the ones doing the actual implementation — which is where the stress of timelines and things not going right come into play. Once the purchase order is authorized, the configuration engineer has moved on to the next client. Again, this is a customer-facing job. But your customers tend to be knowledgeable, which takes a lot of the stress away.

5: Computer lab support

When I was in college, we had many computer labs on campus, and one of the much-coveted on-campus jobs was to be one of the support folks for these labs. Many colleges still have computer labs, despite the proliferation of student-owned PCs. For me, this was the easiest, least stressful IT job ever. All I had to do was answer basic questions (like how to save a file), keep the printers full of paper and toner and jam-free, clean one or two computers per shift, and file a ticket if a computer broke. I wasn’t there to troubleshoot. I’d just reboot the computer if it gave the user grief. The only stress from this job was the low paycheck.

6: Application architect

Of the wide variety of development jobs, I tend to see application architects as having the least amount of direct pressure on them in general. All development jobs are stressful in their own way, but architects’ code usually doesn’t deal with the troubles caused by actual users since the architects mostly write libraries that other developers use and guide the overall development of the application. Architects are often more separated from deadlines than other developers because the bulk of their work occurs at the front end of a project.

7: Build engineer

The build engineer is the person responsible for automating the processes and procedures for building software from source code to running code. Many times, they will fold in a lot of other work as well, such as creating unit tests (or setting up unit tests to be run), making setup kits, handling automatic deployment of code to test machines on a regular basis, and managing the source control system. Like the architect, this job seems to butt up against timelines the least and requires minimal contact with people outside IT. While it is a difficult job that requires knowledge of a large number of technologies, it is the kind of position where you are left in relative peace and quiet to do your work.

8: Installation technicians

The installation technician is the person who performs the initial installation and configuration of a piece of hardware, especially things like cable boxes and DSL modems. The beauty of this job is that while you are on a timeline and have a schedule, any major problems found at the client’s site are justifiable grounds for delaying the installation and are generally understood by the customer. As a rule, any mission-critical installations are performed well in advance of their deadline, which keeps a lot of the stress levels down.

9: Trainer

Trainers have a great job: They come in, present their materials, and leave before the real carnage occurs. Yes, trainers are there to educate, and it can be frustrating at times to be a teacher. And of course, speaking for much of the day — and often on your feet for most of it — can be difficult. Trainers may spend a fair amount of time traveling, too. But all the tensions that the typical IT staff has to deal with, like projects, crashes, end users, just are not there.

10: IT industry analyst

Without a doubt, one of the best jobs in the IT industry is that of industry analyst. These are the people who talk to industry leaders and then write reports filled with predictions of the IT future. Of course, like most folks, they do operate on a deadline. And to make things a bit more stressful, they tend to not be well respected by the rank-and-file IT workers. At the same time, though, they never have to actually implement anything. Even better, their mistakes do not result in dead servers, security breaches, or buggy applications. And by the time it is possible to find out whether their predictions were right, no one remembers them — or if they do, the “uncertainty of the rapidly evolving industry” is a perfectly acceptable scapegoat for mistakes.

1: Use a fast browser

Not all browsers are created equal. Some are simply faster than others. If you’ve grown accustomed to Internet Explorer or Firefox, you’ll notice a dramatic increase in rendering time using Google Chrome. Of all the ways you can speed up your browsing experience, this is by far the best. Google Chrome also helps speed things up by allowing you to enter
search strings in the URL address bar. With this feature, you don’t have to add yet another toolbar, thereby slowing down the browser even further.

2: Disable Flash

Flash pretty much saturates Web sites now. It’s almost impossible to get away from this technology. Problem is, Flash can be slow, so it directly affects the speed of your browsing experience. You can have Flash turned off by default and then re-enable it to view what you need to view. The biggest problem with this is that some browsers require an add-on to block Flash.

3: Save your temporary Web files on a RAM disk

Since the RAM disk will be much faster than your standard hard drive, using it to save all your browsers temporary files will create a faster environment for your browser. However, this solution is not for the newbie, and you will need to use a third-party to better achieve this task.

4: Get rid of all those toolbars

You’ve seen them in the wild: browsers so filled with toolbars they take up the majority of real estate in the browser window. Most users don’t realize those toolbars tend to slow down the browser in many ways. Some toolbars simply take up precious computer memory, while others eat away at bandwidth by sending and receiving data in the background. The math here is quite simple: The more toolbars you have, the slower your browser will run. Some of those toolbars might seem essential. But if speed is really your top priority, you will want to jettison that extra baggage for the speed you will gain

5: Use tabs, not windows

Too many tabs can cause problems, but they’re still your best bet for browsing efficiency. How do tabs speed up
your experience? A couple of ways. The first is all about organization. With multiple tabs in a single window, it becomes quite a bit faster to locate the page you need to work on. You don’t have to maximize a window, discover that it’s not the right one, minimize it, maximize a new window… until you find the correct one. A single window open with multiple tabs is far easier to search. This is not the only way tabs can help you. Browsers like Chrome treat each tab as an individual process (instead of a child process of a parent). So when a Web site causes a tab to crash, you can close that one tab and not lose all the other tabs. This behavior is not a standard at the moment, so you’ll need to switch over to the Chrome browser to take advantage of it.

New machines shouldn’t have malware on them. But one of the most common causes of the “my PC used to be fast, and now it isn’t!” complaint is actually the presence of malware. Malware can sneak onto a computer in a zillion different ways and quite often it sits in the background slowing your machine to as it sends out spam emails, searches for other computers to infect, works on cracking cryptography, or any number of the other nefarious tasks that hackers like to use their botnet slaves for. There’s a good chance that the malware brought even more friends with it (that’s often how you see computers with thousands of viruses on them not long after the initial infection), and the infection may be bad enough to justify a wipe and reload. My first step in investigating a slow system is usually a virus scan.

2: Upgrade to a better video card

For typical business productivity tasks, a video card probably isn’t an upgrade that will have a lot of value. But for gamers and other similar uses, a video card is a slam dunk upgrade. If your current card and motherboard support SLI or CrossFireX, adding a second card and bridging them will be a good option as well. In some scenarios, better video cards can be a huge benefit even without heavy onscreen video work, because certain applications can leverage the GPUs for calculations.

3: Get a faster drive

Many times, the real performance issue is the speed of disks. Look at numbers like the RPMs, cache size, seek speed, and transfer rate to buy a faster drive. Often, a good drive will seem slow because the computer’s power settings are allowing it to spin down. You may want to consider changing these settings to make sure that the disk is more likely to be ready to work when you need it to. While the SSD vs. hard disk debate is still continuing, SSDs usually seem to feel faster to users. Boot times are usually cut for sure. But something about an SSD makes a system feel more responsive or “snappy” to use, and for day-to-day work, that’s a great feeling.

4: Address hardware and driver issues

All too often, system slowness is actually a sign of hardware problems. For example, if your CPU isn’t being properly cooled, it will often have its speed reduced in an effort to keep it from overheating. Recoverable errors with disk access can kill your throughput while not showing up as a dead drive. And bad hardware drivers can often make the whole system slow, especially video drivers. Using utilities to check your CPU speed and various temperatures, scanning for hard drive errors, and updating your drivers is a good start to investigating performance problems. Often, problems caused by hardware or drivers are not just poor speeds, but system flakiness too.

5: Use a RAID

Using a RAID can dramatically lower the read and write speeds of your disks, depending upon the RAID level you choose. You will want to do some research to see what RAID level fits your needs the best. Personally, I am a fan of RAID 1, 6, and 10 because I feel that they offer appropriate levels of data protection along with a good measure of speed improvements.

6: Try a different browser

It’s no secret: Different browsers perform differently, and most people spend a lot of time in their Web browser. Benchmarks really muddy the browser speed conversation. Some browsers perform well on some but do badly on others, even when they are supposed to test the same thing. The problem with the benchmarks is that what they usually test is not real work performance! While JavaScript is an important part of the modern Web, few Web applications beat on the JavaScript engine hard enough to produce a noticeable impact on performance. That said, it’s been my experience that the Chrome browser is the fastest for actual work. If you want to have your Web browser feel more responsive and lively, consider a switch to Chrome.

7: Remove junk

It’s easy to have a computer get loaded up with junk that slows it down. The worst part is, we invite this garbage into our lives by installing “helpful” utilities, toolbars, and other add-ons. I could easily write a list of 10 kinds of computer-stalling junk. Here are some of the things you’ll want to seek out and remove for best performance:
Automatic update systems for various applications (but be careful: some apps, like Flash, Acrobat, QuickTime, and Web browsers are prime malware targets and you will want to keep these up-to-date)
Things that run on startup
Windows services you don’t really need
Crapware from the PC maker
Toolbars
Browser plug-ins (the Skype browser plug-in is an especially bad offender, I’ve found)
P2P applications
Web servers and database servers that were installed by since-removed applications, but left behind

8: Add a faster DNS lookup server

Most ISPs love to brag about how much bandwidth they are giving you. But they don’t mind letting the rest of their infrastructure slowly get overwhelmed or deteriorate. Among the biggest offenders are the DNS servers our ISPs use. If you want to know why things seem to take forever to start loading, slow DNS servers are often the cause. Consider adding a fast DNS server as your primary DNS server in your TCP/IP settings. Google’s Public DNS server is a great option.

9: Defrag

Defragging your hard drives is a great way to get some more performance. While modern Windows systems automatically defrag on a regular basis, I’ve found that the Windows defragging is fairly unaggressive. We’ve reviewed a lot of different defrag apps here at TechRepublic. I suggest that you check out your alternatives and find one that does a better job for you.

10: Check network connectivity

Time and time again, “system slowness” actually is caused by networking issues. Our computers do so much on the Internet that slowness there can affect just about everything you do on a regular basis. While there isn’t enough space to write an exhausting troubleshooting list here, some of the things you should try (or investigate) are:
Replacing the network cables, switches, routers, WiFi access points, etc.
Calling the ISP and checking the distance from the CO (for DSL) or the local segment’s current load (for cable); the ISP may need to rewire or rework its connectivity. Satellite customers will want to double-check their dish installation and ensure that it is tightly locked down and pointed in the right direction.
Malware scanning on all PCs to see if malware is burdening the network
Inspecting the wiring of the phone lines (for DSL) or coax (cable customers) to look for loose connections, corrosion, or flaky wires
Cable customers will want to find out how many splitters are between the line from the pole and their modem. If it is more than one (and preferably only a two-way splitter), they should rewire so that they have only a single two-way splitter between the pole and the modem to ensure the cleanest signal possible.

A. PENGERTIAN WEBSITE ATAU SITUS.
Website atau situs dapat diartikan sebagai kumpulan halaman yang menampilkan informasi data teks, data gambar diam atau gerak, data animasi, suara, video dan atau gabungan dari semuanya, baik yang bersifat statis maupun dinamis yang membentuk satu rangkaian bangunan yang saling terkait dimana masing-masing dihubungkan dengan jaringan-jaringan halaman (hyperlink). Bersifat statis apabila isi informasi website tetap, jarang berubah, dan isi informasinya searah hanya dari pemilik website. Bersifat dinamis apabila isi informasi website selalu berubah-ubah, dan isi informasinya interaktif dua arah berasal dari pemilik serta pengguna website. Contoh website statis adalah berisi profil perusahaan, sedangkan website dinamis adalah seperti Friendster, Multiply, dll. Dalam sisi pengembangannya, website statis hanya bisa diupdate oleh pemiliknya saja, sedangkan website dinamis bisa diupdate oleh pengguna maupun pemilik.

B. UNSUR-UNSUR DALAM PENYEDIAAN WEBSITE ATAU SITUS.
Untuk menyediakan sebuah website, maka harus tersedia unsur-unsur penunjangnya, adalah sebagai berikut:

1. Nama domain (Domain name/URL – Uniform Resource Locator)
Nama domain atau biasa disebut dengan Domain Name atau URL adalah alamat unik di dunia internet yang digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi sebuah website, atau dengan kata lain domain name adalah alamat yang digunakan untuk menemukan sebuah website pada dunia internet. Contoh : http://www.baliorange.net
Nama domain diperjualbelikan secara bebas di internet dengan status sewa tahunan. Setelah Nama Domain itu terbeli di salah satu penyedia jasa pendaftaran, maka pengguna disediakan sebuah kontrol panel untuk administrasinya. Jika pengguna lupa/tidak memperpanjang masa sewanya, maka nama domain itu akan di lepas lagi ketersediaannya untuk umum. Nama domain sendiri mempunyai identifikasi ekstensi/akhiran sesuai dengan kepentingan dan lokasi keberadaan website tersebut. Contoh nama domain ber-ekstensi internasional adalah com, net, org, info, biz, name, ws. Contoh nama domain ber-ekstensi lokasi Negara Indonesia adalah :

- .co.id : Untuk Badan Usaha yang mempunyai badan hukum sah
- .ac.id : Untuk Lembaga Pendidikan
- .go.id : Khusus untuk Lembaga Pemerintahan Republik Indonesia
- .mil.id : Khusus untuk Lembaga Militer Republik Indonesia
- .or.id : Untuk segala macam organisasi yand tidak termasuk dalam kategori “ac.id”,”co.id”,”go.id”,”mil.id” dan lain lain
- .war.net.id : untuk industri warung internet di Indonesia
- .sch.id : khusus untuk Lembaga Pendidikan yang menyelenggarakan pendidikan seperti SD, SMP dan atau SMU
- .web.id : Ditujukan bagi badan usaha, organisasi ataupun perseorangan yang melakukan kegiatannya di World Wide Web.

2. Rumah tempat website (Web hosting)
Web Hosting dapat diartikan sebagai ruangan yang terdapat dalam harddisk tempat menyimpan berbagai data, file-file, gambar, video, data email, statistik, database dan lain sebagainya yang akan ditampilkan di website. Besarnya data yang bisa dimasukkan tergantung dari besarnya web hosting yang disewa/dipunyai, semakin besar web hosting semakin besar pula data yang dapat dimasukkan dan ditampilkan dalam website.
Web Hosting juga diperoleh dengan menyewa. Pengguna akan memperoleh kontrol panel yang terproteksi dengan username dan password untuk administrasi websitenya. Besarnya hosting ditentukan ruangan harddisk dengan ukuran MB (Mega Byte) atau GB (Giga Byte). Lama penyewaan web hosting rata-rata dihitung per tahun. Penyewaan hosting dilakukan dari perusahaan-perusahaan penyewa web hosting yang banyak dijumpai baik di Indonesia maupun Luar Negeri. Lokasi peletakan pusat data (datacenter) web hosting bermacam-macam. Ada yang di Jakarta, Singapore, Inggris, Amerika, dll dengan harga sewa bervariasi.

3. Bahasa Program (Scripts Program).
Adalah bahasa yang digunakan untuk menerjemahkan setiap perintah dalam website yang pada saat diakses. Jenis bahasa program sangat menentukan statis, dinamis atau interaktifnya sebuah website. Semakin banyak ragam bahasa program yang digunakan maka akan terlihat website semakin dinamis, dan interaktif serta terlihat bagus.
Beragam bahasa program saat ini telah hadir untuk mendukung kualitas website. Jenis jenis bahasa program yang banyak dipakai para desainer website antara lain HTML, ASP, PHP, JSP, Java Scripts, Java applets, XML, Ajax dsb. Bahasa dasar yang dipakai setiap situs adalah HTML sedangkan PHP, ASP, JSP dan lainnya merupakan bahasa pendukung yang bertindak sebagai pengatur dinamis, dan interaktifnya situs.
Bahasa program ASP, PHP, JSP atau lainnya bisa dibuat sendiri. Bahasa program ini biasanya digunakan untuk membangun portal berita, artikel, forum diskusi, buku tamu, anggota organisasi, email, mailing list dan lain sebagainya yang memerlukan update setiap saat.

4. Desain website.
Setelah melakukan penyewaan domain name dan web hosting serta penguasaan bahasa program (scripts program), unsur website yang penting dan utama adalah desain. Desain website menentukan kualitas dan keindahan sebuah website. Desain sangat berpengaruh kepada penilaian pengunjung akan bagus tidaknya sebuah website.
Untuk membuat website biasanya dapat dilakukan sendiri atau menyewa jasa website designer. Saat ini sangat banyak jasa web designer, terutama di kota-kota besar. Perlu diketahui bahwa kualitas situs sangat ditentukan oleh kualitas designer. Semakin banyak penguasaan web designer tentang beragam program/software pendukung pembuatan situs maka akan dihasilkan situs yang semakin berkualitas, demikian pula sebaliknya. Jasa web designer ini yang umumnya memerlukan biaya yang tertinggi dari seluruh biaya pembangunan situs dan semuanya itu tergantung kualitas designer. Program-program desain website salah satunya adalah Macromedia Firework, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Frontpage, dll.

5. Program transfer data ke pusat data.
Para web designer mengerjakan website dikomputernya sendiri. Berbagai bahasa program, data informasi teks, gambar, video, dan suara telah menjadi file-file pendukung adanya website. File tersebut bisa dibuka menggunakan program penjelajah (browser) sehingga terlihatlah sebuah website utuh di dalam komputer sendiri (offline). Tetapi file-file tersebut perlu untuk diletakkan dirumah hosting versi online agar terakses ke seluruh dunia. Pengguna akan diberikan akses FTP (File Transfer Protocol) setelah memesan sebuah web hosting untuk memindahkan file-file website ke pusat data web hosting. Untuk dapat menggunakan FTP diperlukan sebuah program FTP, misalnya WS FTP, Smart FTP, Cute FTP, dll. Program FTP ini banyak ditemui di internet dengan status penggunaan gratis maupun harus membayar. Para web designer pun dapat menggunakan fasilitas FTP yang terintegrasi dengan program pembuat website, misal Adobe Dreamweaver.

6. Publikasi website.
Keberadaan website tidak ada gunanya dibangun tanpa dikunjungi atau dikenal oleh masyarakat atau pengunjung internet. Karena efektif tidaknya situs sangat tergantung dari besarnya pengunjung dan komentar yang masuk. Untuk mengenalkan situs kepada masyarakat memerlukan apa yang disebut publikasi atau promosi.
Publikasi situs di masyarakat dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara seperti dengan pamlet-pamlet, selebaran, baliho, kartu nama dan lain sebagainya tapi cara ini bisa dikatakan masih kurang efektif dan sangat terbatas. Cara yang biasanya dilakukan dan paling efektif dengan tak terbatas ruang atau waktu adalah publikasi langsung di internet melalui search engine-search engine (mesin pencari, spt : Yahoo, Google, MSN, Search Indonesia, dsb).
Cara publikasi di search engine ada yang gratis dan ada pula yang membayar. Yang gratis biasanya terbatas dan cukup lama untuk bisa masuk dan dikenali di search engine terkenal seperti Yahoo atau Google. Cara efektif publikasi adalah dengan membayar, walaupun harus sedikit mengeluarkan akan tetapi situs cepat masuk ke search engine dan dikenal oleh pengunjung.

C. PEMELIHARAAN WEBSITE.

Untuk mendukung kelanjutan dari situs diperlukan pemeliharaan setiap waktu sesuai yang diinginkan seperti penambahan informasi, berita, artikel, link, gambar atau lain sebagainya. Tanpa pemeliharaan yang baik situs akan terkesan membosankan atau monoton juga akan segera ditinggal pengunjung.

Pemeliharaan situs dapat dilakukan per periode tertentu seperti tiap hari, tiap minggu atau tiap bulan sekali secara rutin atau secara periodik saja tergantung kebutuhan (tidak rutin). Pemeliharaan rutin biasanya dipakai oleh situs-situs berita, penyedia artikel, organisasi atau lembaga pemerintah. Sedangkan pemeliharaan periodik bisanya untuk situs-situs pribadi, penjualan/e-commerce, dan lain sebagainya.

D. PERPANJANGAN MASA SEWA DOMAIN NAME DAN WEB HOSTING.

Perlu dipahami bahwa domain name dan web hosting berstatus sewa. Selama kedua hal itu dibayarkan masa sewa perpanjangannya, maka Anda berhak untuk memilikinya dan mempergunakannya. Banyak terjadi kasus kelupaan dalam memperpanjang masa sewanya, atau sulit untuk menghubungi pihak ketiga (web designer) sebagai perantara pendaftaran awal, maka akan berakibat fatal. Anda akan kehilangan domain name sebagai identitas dalam dunia internet. Pastikan Anda mengingat untuk memperpanjang masa sewanya. Arti penting domain name perlu Anda pahami.
