Paint.net - Free photo editing software
Posted on July 1, 2008 at 5:39 am
It would be a redundant statement to say that there is no shortage of image editing programs on the market. Adobe Photoshop, Ulead PhotoImpact, and the Corel Draw Graphics suite are a few of the paid programs. Then you have the free ones such as GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) and IrfanView readily available for downloading on the Internet. There are too many to name.

How to determine hard disk space usage
Posted on June 30, 2008 at 5:31 am
Over a period of time we encounter insufficient disk space issues which might have been caused by poor preventive maintenance, low budget for a higher capacity disk (not all of us could afford a Terabyte of hard disk), or lack of discipline (we like to download everything and keep them forever even we don’t need them for future use!).

6 Windows tools you don’t need to replace
Posted on June 30, 2008 at 5:22 am
If, like me, you’re a bit of a download junkie it’s easy to get into the habit of replacing every bundled Windows application with a freeware alternative. With time however I’ve come to the conclusion that in many cases the benefits of doing this are negligible and it’s possibly more beneficial to reduce the number of third party software running on your computer.

How to resize images and pictures using Fotosizer
Posted on June 29, 2008 at 5:27 am
This post is especially for all those brave souls out there who are running Windows Vista, until recently I too was a pioneer of this brave new world of funky GUI and fatal flaws, I gave up last week and removed Vista from the last PC here in my home that had it installed.
Now, in the few months I ran Vista on my main work laptop (ASUS G2S), I discovered one really crazy omission from the system, namely a way to resize images easily. You can select an image in windows explorer, email it to yourself and resize it before it is sent, but lets face it, that’s a really long winded and stupid way of resizing a picture.

Alt-Tab Thingy - Windows Task Switcher Alternative
Posted on June 29, 2008 at 5:00 am
Do you know that you can switch between open windows / tasks using the Alt+Tab key combination? It is of course much faster than reaching for your mouse to select a particular window that you want to use. The Alt+Tab key has long been the most popular and favorite task switcher for keyboard-geeks in Windows.
However, the effectiveness of this key will decrease when there are lots of open windows at one time. One obvious problem is that you need to press the Alt+Tab key several times to reach for a particular window and it is easy to get lost since there may be many windows open for the same application.
