Mr. Unsolicited Advice is a new feature here at Dave Does the Blog, even though Dave will eventually retcon some previous entries to use him. We hope you enjoy this new feature, and don't forget to tip your waiters.

Dear Mr. Unsolicited Advice,

What's the best way to really impress my wife with my L33T HAXX0R tech support skills?

Sincerely, Oafish in Ohio

Be sure, when upgrading software on your wife's PC, to ignore any open documents she has in other windows, and let them be lost when you inevitably reboot the system. Not only will this devil-may-care attitude really catch her attention afterward, but it will remove any distractions from your L33T HAXX0R preening.

Oh, if you can time it so that it happens when she's had a really crappy day after a stressful week at the office, and make sure that one or more of the documents that's open is something work-related that she'd spent substantial time earlier in the evening working on, you can rest assured that she will have many well-deserved words to express just how she feels about your efforts!
