My husband did a complete re-imaging of my IBM R50e notebook today while I was away at my mom’s place. My notebook runs Windows XP and it runs very smoothly. Runs like new in fact.
He has also switched anti-virus. We were running Avast! anti-virus but as of now, my resident anti-virus is NOD32 which claims to be one of the fastest. As a start, it does use much less ram than Avast!.
WordPress 2.5 has been out for days. It looks to be a major milestone upgrade. My husband is the one who takes care of all thing technical. Both hardware and software. And literally everything that went into setting up this blog.
At the top of my WordPress admin panel, there’s always a reminder “A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now.” So I asked when he’s going to update mine to version 2.5 coz mine is several versions behind. He told me wait a bit as with any new major release, there’s bound to be minor update releases soon to iron out bugs and security issues. I guess I’ll wait for WordPress 2.5.1 or 2.5.2.
I can’t wait to try out the new version of WordPress and I hope it lives up to all the hype. I would love to try the ‘one-click’ plugin updating feature and built-in gallery function.
From the day our baby Clarisse was born, we have shot about 500 pictures and tens of video clips of her so far. These photographs and video clips are our treasure. Shot in digital format, we do backups every week and store them in several places:
Sharing photos online with friends and family is easy. You just need an image editor to scale it down, save it to compressed jpeg format and attach it to your email. But when it comes to sharing video files, things are not that straightforward.
Obviously the main problem is the file size. On average, a 2-minute 640×480 uncompressed mpeg video recording from my digital camera is about 130-140MB. You’d be hardpressed to find an email service provider that allows you to attach such a huge file to your emails.
My sister called me today. She wanted to know if there’s an easy and effective way to make Internet surfing safer for kids. That means blocking websites with adult content, violence, unsafe chatrooms and virtually any stuff that’s deemed unsuitable for kids. Her children, aged 7 and 4, are very computer savvy. Browsing the web is literally child’s play these days. It’s very important to keep unsafe content out of their reach.
I thought I’d share with you a simple way to prevent your kids, and everyone else in the house, from accessing malicious websites. For adults, weeding out pornography sites is easy but phishing websites are much harder to detect. Phishing refers to dummy websites setup by pranksters to steal your private data like usernames, passwords, credit card details and such.
