Nothing is more annoying than getting your Internet connection shut down, due to weather, or perhaps forgetting to pay your bill. Let’s take a look at some ways you can be productive and entertained without the Internet.

没有什么比由于天气原因而关闭Internet连接或忘记支付账单更令人烦恼的了。 让我们看一下无需Internet即可实现生产和娱乐的一些方式。

While a lot of people rely on the Internet daily for their work, like we do here at How-to Geek…if you lose your connection for a while, you’ll still have ways to finish work, listen to music, watch movies, and play PC games. The things you won’t have access to is your email, IM, Social Networking sites, online documents, and browsing in general. Here we’ve put together a list of suggestions of what you can do while your Internet connection is down.

虽然很多人每天都依赖互联网来工作，就像我们在How-to Geek上所做的那样……如果您暂时失去联系，您仍然可以通过多种方式完成工作，听音乐，看电影，并玩PC游戏。 您将无法访问的是您的电子邮件，IM，社交网站，在线文档和一般的浏览。 在这里，我们汇总了有关Internet连接中断时可以执行的操作的建议列表。

执行PC维护任务 (Perform PC Maintenance Tasks)

Since the Internet provides so many distractions, you might have neglected system maintenance and file organization for a while. Go through and uninstall programs you no longer use or need. One of the best ways to clean up old programs and leftover items is with Revo Uninstaller Pro or Revo Uninstaller Free edition. Hopefully it is already installed on your hard drive or thumb drive.

由于Internet提供了许多干扰，因此您可能已经忽略了一段时间的系统维护和文件组织。 浏览并卸载不再使用或不需要的程序。 Revo Uninstaller Pro或Revo Uninstaller Free版是清除旧程序和剩余项目的最佳方法之一。 希望它已经安装在硬盘或拇指驱动器上。

If you don’t have it installed you can certainly still use the Programs and Features option in Control Panel in Vista and Windows 7 (Add or Remove Programs in XP) to remove them. But this will leave a lot of leftover folders and registry settings, especially if you’re trying to completely remove iTunes and everything associated with it.

如果尚未安装，则当然仍可以使用Vista和Windows 7的“控制面板”中的“程序和功能”选项(XP中的“添加或删除程序”)将其删除。 但这会留下许多剩余的文件夹和注册表设置，尤其是在您试图完全删除iTunes以及与其相关的所有内容时。

Other maintenance tasks you might want to catch up on is making room on your hard drive by doing a Disk Cleanup. Before doing the disk cleanup, save any work you have open and close out of all programs. Then click on Start and type %temp% into the Search Box or Run line in XP and hit Enter.

您可能想赶上的其他维护任务是通过执行磁盘清理在硬盘驱动器上腾出空间。 在执行磁盘清理之前，请保存已打开并关闭所有程序的所有工作。 然后单击“开始”，然后在XP的“搜索框”或“运行”行中键入％temp％，然后按Enter。

Then hit Ctrl+A to select all of the files then hit Delete. This will clear out the Temp folder, which Disk Cleanup often misses.

然后按Ctrl + A选择所有文件，然后按Delete。 这将清除“ Temp”文件夹，而“磁盘清理”通常会丢失该文件夹。

After that empty the Recycle Bin and run Disk Cleanup.

之后，清空回收站并运行磁盘清理。

You can also run a computer cleanup utility such as CCleaner…either the full installed version or the portable version.

您还可以运行计算机清理实用程序，例如CCleaner …完整安装的版本或便携式版本。

If you decide to clean up the Registry, scan for issues, then click Fix Selected Issues. CCleaner allows you to backup the Registry before fixing the issues it found, which you definitely want to do in case something doesn’t work and you need to restore it.

如果您决定清理注册表，请扫描问题，然后单击“修复选定的问题”。 CCleaner允许您在解决发现的问题之前备份注册表，以防万一某些问题不起作用并且需要还原它，您肯定要这样做。

If you don’t have Windows set to automatically defrag the hard drive, this might be a good time to run the process or set it up on a schedule. In Windows 7 type disk defrag into the Search box in the Start Menu and hit Enter.

如果您没有将Windows设置为自动对硬盘驱动器进行碎片整理，那么这可能是运行该进程或按计划进行设置的好时机。 在Windows 7中，在“开始”菜单的“搜索”框中键入磁盘碎片整理，然后按Enter。

Now you can Turn on a schedule, analyze the amount of fragmentation, and kick off the defrag process.

现在，您可以打开计划，分析碎片数量，然后开始进行碎片整理过程。

Here is an example of setting up a schedule for for the Disk Defragmenter. For more on using Disk Defrag check our article on how to configure disk defragmenter in Vista or Windows 7.

这是为磁盘碎片整理程序设置计划的示例。 有关使用磁盘碎片整理的更多信息，请查看我们有关如何在Vista或Windows 7中配置磁盘碎片整理程序的文章。

If you don’t want to use the built in defrag utility, there are other 3rd party apps that run more quickly like Auslogics Defrag or Defraggler.

如果您不想使用内置的碎片整理实用程序，那么还有其他第三方应用程序可以运行得更快，例如Auslogics Defrag或Defraggler 。

清理物理台式机和笔记本电脑硬件 (Clean Out the Physical Desktop and Laptop Hardware)

Over time your desktop collects dust and it’s important to blow out the case periodically. Get some Canned Air, and clean out all the dust bunnies in the machine. Also, this is a good time to reseat the systems RAM, check cable connections, Video & sound Card…etc.

随着时间的流逝，您的桌面会积聚灰尘，定期吹出外壳非常重要。 获取一些罐装空气，并清除机器中的所有灰尘兔子。 另外，这是重新安装系统RAM，检查电缆连接，视频和声卡等的好时机。

Another thing you might want to do is clean your keyboard and mouse. If you haven’t done it recently, you’ll be surprised how much dust, crumbs of food, or perhaps cat hair that is lodged between the keys. Again you can use Canned Air for this, or if you want to be very thorough, take out each key and get all the junk out of there.

您可能想做的另一件事是清洁键盘和鼠标。 如果您最近没有这样做，您会惊讶于钥匙之间夹了多少灰尘，食物屑或猫毛。 同样，您可以为此使用Canned Air，或者，如果您想非常彻底，请取出每个钥匙，然后从那里取出所有垃圾。

Speaking of cats, if you are tired of seeing your computer running when it should be asleep because your cat has an attraction to the keyboard, check out our article on how to stop the mouse or keyboard from waking your computer from Sleep Mode.

说到猫，如果您由于猫对键盘有吸引力而感到厌倦，无法在计算机处于睡眠状态时运行它，请查看我们的文章，了解如何阻止鼠标或键盘从睡眠模式唤醒计算机。

If you have a TV Tuner card or HTPC setup you can still watch Over the Air broadcasting, or your cable channels (provided the cable isn’t down as well). But you should still be able to get Over the Air channels at least by hooking up an HD Antenna.

如果您有电视调谐器卡或HTPC设置，您仍然可以观看无线广播或有线频道(前提是电缆也未断开)。 但是您至少应该仍然可以通过连接高清天线来获得无线频道。

Of course you can still watch movies and other videos you have ripped or downloaded to your hard drive. Or you can do it the old fashioned way and just pop in a DVD.

当然，您仍然可以观看已翻录或下载到硬盘的电影和其他视频。 或者，您也可以采用老式的方法，仅将其放入DVD中即可。

从PC上抽出时间(Take Time Away from Your PC)

As geeks, most of us spend far too much time on the computer anyway, so take a break from it! Get outside and go for a walk, read a book, hit the treadmill, work on neglected house chores. Sometimes it’s nice to get away from anything to do with technology for a while to clear our heads.

作为极客，我们大多数人仍然在计算机上花费太多时间，因此请暂时休息一下！ 出门出去走走，看书，踩跑步机，做家务活。 有时候，暂时摆脱与技术有关的任何事情都是很不错的选择。
