Software Review: FastStone Image Resizer

New job, new life, new adventures. I can now now buy the things that I usually crave for when I was still a student... (of course just few of them...How I wish I could buy them all...). This time, a digital camera. I have a purchased a Sony Cybershot DSC W-320 which have an oozing 14.1 megapixel resolution. Higher resolution, better pictures, and of course huge file sizes. More time to wait to upload your photos on your social media. Of course if you want to avoid the hassle about the time uploading your photos on the web, you will opt to do these measures: Reduce the pixel size of the camera when taking pictures; or Use Microsoft Picture Manager to reduce the size of your photos. Isn't it? We'll I don't prefer both solutions, so I decided to search for a software which could solve my problem, and also the problem of my co-photo enthusiasts, bloggers and social media fanatics. Let's try this software that I have just recently discovered (although it a...

Time Stopper 2

Software recommendation: TIME STOPPER 2 I highly recommend this software to those people who are tired enough of looking for crack versions of their favorite software. You can now use the original version of the software (usually a trial version when it's freely downloadable on the cloud). Before proceeding, be sure that the software has at least a day remaining before the trial ends,  it must still be working. The software is very easy to use. All you have to do is to install the software, run it. The interface is shown above. Just click the [Browse...] button and locate the main .exe file of the trial version program. If you don't like to browse the EXE file manually, go to desktop and right-click the program icon of the trial version software. Copy all the texts EXCEPT for the QUOTATIONS. Paste it on the first textbox of the Time Stopper software(Select the main EXE...) Then choose a date within the trial period of the software. Also, enter a name of the new icon ...

Managing Stress

Each individual has their own problem -- that's the reality! you are not a normal person if you don't have even a single one. Some of these problems are just easy to solve, while some others are very difficult to solve, pulling us down and let us to give up. these problems give us a lot of burden and pressure -- something we call as stress. I am encountering problems in each every single day (just like what you do) -- study, family, money and some other personal propblems. Some of them gives a lot of stress. The most recent problem that almost devastated me was the death of my 'best friend', and that's my laptop. It's video card, which is very essetial, yet one of the costliest part of a computer gave up. Having it replaced will cost around two to three thousand Philippine Peso (or approxiamately 5 US dollars). Oh my! What will i do with our thesis now? My e-mail inbox? my Facebook? my blog? Goodbye online buddies! ... and my printer, what ami i be doing wi...

Reusing Your Burned CD-R and DVD-Rs

This is the second part of my post about Rewriting on a write-once discs. The first article is a vital one so that this second part be easier to understand, and also you can get and formulate some ideas and concepts about this burning hot thing. If you have a lot of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs stocked on your room and is needed to be disposed of because you no longer need and use it, then just read this post. You may use that burned CD again. Yes! I repeat you can still use it again,,, again and again. Again, this tutorial is only meant for Windows 7 operating system only. Before you start: Just make sure that you no longer use the files on the disc because this tutorial will format the whole disc, meaning all the files in it will be permanently erased. As discussed on the first part , formatting or deleting files on a read-only / recordable disc does not provide you an additional free space on your disc. The memory allocation for the deleted file will still be counted as...

How to Rewrite on a DVD-R and a CD-R Without any Burning Software

Part 1 Yes! you heard it right! You can now make your CD+/-R or DVD+/-R act like a rewritable one. During the Windows XP days, this is impossible. Once you have written something on a recordable disc, then you can't save a file on it anymore. Rewriting on a discs can only be done through CD+/-RW or DVD+/-RW type of discs. These rewritable type of discs costs as much as two to five times compared with the write-once or recordable discs. As I have upgraded my operating system from Windows XP into Windows 7, I have discovered several exciting things about it. I first thought that this feature is only designed for RW discs, but I have once experimented it on a write-once disc and it worked! This discovery is among the most important feature of Windows 7 that I am using until now. I've researched on it and found out that this is possible through the Windows 7's UDF file system To do this, you need the following: A blank CD-R, CD+R, DVD-R or a DVD+R An optical bu...

Browser Comparison - Internet Explorer 9 vs other Browsers

Since I learned how to surf the internet, I never used Internet Explorer (versions 8 and below). The interface is very dull and the browsing speed is very slow. But since I had switched to a newer version of the Internet Explore, IE9, everything has changed. Before I came up with IE9, I had tested several web browsers before - Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Rockmelt. If I were to rate these browsers according to their performance (up to scale of 5), it will be: Mozilla Firefox: I had once used this browser before I met Google Chrome. That's it. Google Chrome: I had used this browser for a very long time. The interface is very good, very easy to understand. The browsing speed is amazingly fast. But... It consumes memory and CPU Usage a lot. I am currently using a laptop with an Intel Centrino 1.4GHz processor, 512MB DDR RAM and a 32MB ATI Radeon Video Card. That means running a massive program causes crashes on the system. This is the main reason why...
