X-Ray Vision For Your Files

Back in the ole DOS days (remember the 8.3 character limit?), I’d name my documents in a manner such that I can remember what it contained. So my financial documents go by “yearich.txt” and my loveletters go “dontluk.txt”. Vista and XP has made it a tad easier with filenames that broke the 8 character limit. Check [...]

Warning: Rouge Packets About To Pounce You!

Are you secure? Check again.
Microsoft is scrambling to stomp a new armada of nasties, including a killer flaw in XP/Vista that exposes your innards to miscreants by simply going online. The plot stinks: a hacker simply broadcasts rogue TC/IP packets to a stream of addresses (including yours). That’s the usual modus operandi, but it goes [...]

How HP Makes You a Math Whiz

I know quite a number of CPAs who’ve already forgotten their multiplication table. I also know some engineers and architects (like myself) who labor at quick mental math.
Quick! What’s 3928.7 + 9209.2?
If you’re like me, it may have taken sometime to crunch those figures in your head. The more decimal points, the tougher. And don’t [...]

Turn XP into a Blazing Speed Demon

I used to rely on Norton’s Speed Disk, then, eventually Perfect Disc and Diskeeper to optimize my HDD. Defragmenting is the idea- an antiquated process of reorganizing bytes on spinning platter so that each file is grouped into contiguous locations on the disk. Many still believe that defragmenting hard disk drives on a regular basis [...]

Do Your Arms Creak From Your Laptop

Mine does. I use a rather weighty weighty Presario Core2Duo clocked at 2Ghz. It does everything I want it to do- from webmastering to multiple image editing and the occasional architectural drafting on AutoCad 2007. There’s just one hitch. It’s heavy as hell. To make matters worse, it’s battery conks at 1.5hours so lugging along [...]

Mystery of the Disappearing DVD-ROM

Three weeks ago, I installed a spanking brand new LG DVD-Burner as an adjunct to my existing ASUS drive. The device was a dream! I burnt piles of DVDs daily with nary a hitch. Not a single platter ended up wasted. And even better- entire 1GB zip files get transferred in seconds.
Then [...]

SP1 or KB938194 = a Ferarri PC!

Even before SP1 hit the official launch on March 2008, people were downloading beta editions of the much awaited service pack in a bid to quell their Vista woes such as slow file transfers, intermittent lock-ups and application incapabilities. I was one of those fellas so I moved heaven to snatch a secret [...]

Paypal Keeps Secrets From You

Do you make a lot of money via paypal? I do… in excess of $5000 a month from assorted e-products, physical goods and services. Because of the volume I generate, I didn’t mind the 2.9% + .30 USD charge Paypal slapped me per transaction. That’s lower than bank transfer rates.
Yesterday, I discovered something that [...]

Hi, I’m Sandy And You’ll Love Me as Your Personal Assistant

Okay, I can’t walk your dog or fetch you coffee, but you’ll never find a better personal assistant than I. With me, you’ll never miss a ballgame with your son because of ‘too much work on your mind’. Neither will you piss off your boss because you flubbed a deadline. And yes- I play cupid [...]

How I Make an Extra $5000 a Month

I run more than fifteen websites monetized by products, ad networks and affiliate programs. Adsense, Tribal Fusion, Clickbank, Commission Junction… I tried em all. They consistently deliver the goods and allow me to bum of royally. One can definitely live off the internet!
But occasionally, I need a spike of cash (like when the gf wants [...]
