Online Notepad

Your personal notepad always available on any computer as long as you have an internet connection. *how cool is that!?* One thing I like about this site is that its secured as well. http://jumk.de/notepad one of the most sites I visit on a daily basis. It's where I store all the links and notes that I know I'll be needing in the future.

I'm thinking of using the online notepad as a post bulletin where you and your significant other can update the notepad, leave a message and wait for the other to reply *how sweet I'm drooling*. Unfortunately it's no longer applicable on my current state.

Best use to store favorite URLs, pending download links and stuff like that :p

Making a Folder Invisible

A neat trick on how to hide your favorite folders without using the Hidden Function of the Folder Properties. As the title states, this post is a tweak - *scratch that! not really..* it's just some settings or mere properties reconfiguration to hide a folder from the naked eye :p there - *sounds better*. Anyways, first is to just label your folder with a space - how can you do that if "space" is considered a special character which Windows won't accept for a name, if you try using "space" as a name it will just label the folder "New Folder" - so how can you go on doing the name blank? simple, just use "Alt + 255" to print "space" as the name. First steps down, let's go on to the real deal, Right click the folder - select Properties - go to the Customize tab - then hit the Change Icon button on the bottom - look for the blank icon as shown in exhibit A.

A picture is indeed worth a thousand words
So that's it! now you see it, *kaching!* now you don't :D have fun!

How to Disable Deepfreeze

You can find a lot of tutorials like this one on the world wide web from the infamous search engines and the best tech websites out there. I'll just want to make this one as simple as possible for not all of us really talks tech. Here's a scenario, you found an amazing software/application and decided to test it on the PC you're using, the thing is that it requires the computer to reboot for the installation to be completed - so you went ahead and hit the restart button (after a few minutes) you were expecting a sequel of the initial installation window and then you noticed the icon of the application you just stored on the desktop is now missing - strange you wondered.. but then when you launch the browser and tried going back to the previous websites you visited before the reboot, the url's aren't popping up on the address bar finally you came into realization that there's a polar bear icon staring at you from the system tray located on the lower right corner of the screen. You hovered the cursor on those wild intimidating eyes, the balloon name popped up, your lips mobilized and whispered Deepfreeze - you had goosebumps! suddenly you're hacking your keys on the search box with the chilling evil string of characters - so the results came and that's how you found out what that application is for. The lost time and penny charged on the duration of your stay, the lucky clicks you went thru to get to that application's page and most importantly, the web based flash game you sacrificed to close for the sole reason of hastening your download - blame it to the bear!! and so here we are:

1. Download Deep Unfreezer.
2. Run the application.
3. Change the state of DF.
4. Reboot your PC for the changes to take effect.
5. Seriously!? I said I'd make it simple didn't I? That's all.

This is very helpful with users who rent PC usage on internet cafe's. Most of 'em use the same software to prevent users in making changes on their computers.

Portable Firefox

Yeah! you read it right. My favorite browser on it's portable version. I love Mozilla Firefox ♥ if it has a soul; it's on my "Soulmates" list - I'm not making sense Am I. Anyways let's start - with the convenience of keyboard shortcuts on your left fingers!! *exaggeration* ultimately the "Ctrl + Shift + T" which reopens the most recent closed tab. How cool is that? If you accidentally close a tab or just wish to open a closed tab - you can just restore it by the above mentioned shortcut key. In addition you can optimize how your Firefox performs by going to the link "about:config" to reconfigure how it works. One of my favorites is the "browser.search.openintab" setting where when you set it to "true", you can use the search box at the upper right corner of the window and the search results will automatically open up in a new tab. Helpful for multi tab users if you know what I mean :p It's really hard to explain so you should check it out yourself. I'm not forcing you to click the link but in case you're interested - here's where you can download it.
