Loathe her or love her but Angeles Muñoz is certainly doing her best to promote property Costa del Sol & Marbella and it looks like that all her hard work and obvious self promotion is now paying off  with the news that the new owner of Malaga Football Club, Abdullah ben Nasser Al-Thani, has announced that he will invest a large amount of money in a Marbella project.

Boost for Marbella

Al-Thani said after a meeting with Mayor Angeles Muñoz in Marbella that he is in advanced negotiations in a major project in Marbella, related to the tourism industry. He did not reveal exactly what kind of investment project it was.

Angeles Munoz claimed after the reunion with the Qatari sheik that this was wonderful news for the city of Marbella. She looked very excited about the plans, but could not either identify exactly what they were.

Until further information comes from the mayor or the sheik, one can only speculate what the spectacular plans consist of. All we know for know is that the Qatari will invest money into something related with tourism in Marbella. Sundream Blog is very hopeful it will create much needed employment for the citizens of Marbella.

This is great news for Marbella and this blog who has been championing the causes of our wonderful Mayor of Marbella who has been heavily criticized for self promotion and wasting public money. What we pointed out to the idiots who were criticizing her was you only needed one deal like this and you were miles ahead of the game so well done Angeles.

You would believe it but I have to Spam at least 200 posts a week on this blog and maybe more. Were very tolerant on here all you have to do is read the blog make a comment about the blog and unless it’s completely stupid the post will be approved. Why waste your time typing something that won’t be approved when with a little thought you could be rewarded with a good quality link to your website.

Marbella Villas

For example if you see a post about Marbella Villas then why not just type something about the villa in question and try and be a bit cute. I post a lot on other blogs and I always take time to make a considered post that I think will get approved and because I have my own blog I try to make it interesting for that blog

So what do you want to be a Spammer or a Blogger?

Do you miss the manual for your router or wireless phone, or has the dog eaten up the manual for your cell phone or wireless router? If the guide to a thing is gone, then can you be absolutely sure you need it. It is Murphy’s Law … Then you should take a look at The User Manual Site. It has indexed over 300,000 manuals from the Web, in PDF format. I did some searches on different stuff I have at my home office and it gave good results.

To use the service is simple. Just enter the name and product name in the search field, and do a search. The site uses an auto-completion feature in the search field so that you get the options just by typing parts of the product name. Once you got a hit, just click the PDF file, and print it if you need.

If you not found your guide at The User Manual Site, you can take a look at another site. SafeManuals.com is the website that can come to the rescue. There are almost 900,000 (nine hundred thousand) handbooks, manuals and user guides posted in PDF format. It is just keying in the name of your electronic things, whatever it may be, and see if it is included in the database. Do you get a hit, can you free download the manual in PDF format, to read on screen or print. This article did I found in TkJ. Thanks Tommy.

Very many of us use free anti-virus software. I have it, as you know in a couple of my computers, but I also have commercial packages to some others. But can we really rely on an antivirus that is free? The serve is no money in them, so how could they keep up with developments?

In an interview criticizes David Hall, product manager at Symantec, the free antivirus programs pretty hard. He believes that they certainly can not offer as good protection from commercial software – such as Norton Antivirus and the others. According to Hall, is the technology of free antivirus, including Microsoft Security Essentials and the famous AVG and Avast!, Not sufficiently sophisticated to be able to protect against today’s virus attacks.

Most viruses spread today by web pages. This is called drive-by downloads, and means that you visit an infected Web page that automatically downloads and installs the virus on your computer. Virus infection occurs not only through the security hole in the browser, but it is very common to instead use a hole in the Appendix for the browser – QuickTime, RealPlayer and Flash. Hall explains that it is not at all certain that the free anti-virus software offers a good protection against this type of attacks. Better is to buy a security package.

According to Security Company Secunia have 98 percent of all Windows computers at least one insecure program installed. These are all possible forms of applications that have security holes and other problems. As a rule, clogging the holes again continuously by the developers, but it is not at all certain that users know that there are free updates.

This is a clearly important part to keep track of. Security hole as found in Appendix for the browser is of course a great danger, because it can open up your computer for attacks from infected websites. With PSI installed, can you search your computer for problems, and you can also allow the program to be resident in the memory, for tell you when new updates coming. (this article did I found at TkJ, thanks Tommy).

GIMP is the open source – world’s answer to Photoshop. It is a complex image manipulation program full of functions and tools, and it is also completely free. You can download it for both Windows and Linux. The latest version is 2.6.6, and it contains many news.

I find an article of Six Revisions, which lists 10 websites with schools, guides and other articles with has to do with GIMP. Do you want to learn to master this great program in image editing, is this really good websites to begin with. If you think that GIMP is a bit too complex for your taste, are there a lot of other free image-editing programs. Two of my favorites are Paint.NET and Photoscape. They are both easy to use, have simple and logical interface and is also free.

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and was originally developed for Linux / Unix. It has however since several years been closed for Windows. GIMP is an enormously complex tools, and by that I mean that the learning threshold is relatively high, but above all that the program contains many and very good functions. You can very well compare GIMP with Photoshop.

That who probably is the most unaccustomed with GIMP is that the interface is different from the other of Windows programs, because it is was closed from Unix. But it is really no major differences, and once you come over the threshold, it is no problem. Once you start using GIMP, you will realize that it is an excellent tool for imaging, image editing and photo retouching. This article did found I in TkJ.

Google, Yahoo and Bing are all very well, but if you want to be a real search pro, then must you find the specifics search engines that focus on specific areas such as music, videos, photos and more. I have bloged about specific search engines before, but if you want a good overview, then I think you should take a look at Hong Kiats huge list of over 100 alternative search engines. Perhaps it is so you can find your own favorites here!

Here are specialized search engines to find PDF documents, MP3 music, videos, files and more. One of those mentioned are PDFGeni. That have I tested and I thought it was really good to find PDF documents of various kinds. Are you looking for documentation, articles and other so PDFGeni is a good tip. The advantage of using alternative search engines is to find more relevant information directly, faster and more accurate searches. I can also tip about Cuile, who claims to have indexed more pages than Google.

According to the Swedish magazine PC Magazine will Microsoft soon be launching an early test version of a free antivirus (codenamed “Morro”). Right now it seems that the employees on the company are testing the program. The news tells us also they will compete with McAfee and Symantec.

For just a little while ago I read about a director in of one of the leading antivirus companies. He said, inter alias, that Microsoft’s attempt to break into the market. He claimed that he was not especially worried about the competition. The thing is that Microsoft has tried to come in to the antivirus and security market many times, but they have not made any significant impact. It seems that people do not trust the security program that comes from Microsoft … Recently said Microsoft that they will shut down Live OneCare from the June 30, 2009. And at the same time, it will launch a safety package that is completely free. The aim is to ensure that all users have a strong protection against harmful code, viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, etc.

A Microsoft spokesman said on Wednesday that the world’s biggest software maker is now testing an early version of the product with its own employees and that it will “soon” make a trial version available via its website.

I do not think that Microsoft will succeed especially well this time either. But I see clearly forward to test their free antivirus software. It will be interesting to see what Microsoft has to offer compared with the other free anti-viruses that are on the market. AVG and Avast, or why not new Panda Antivirus Cloud?

We will see what happens in future with Morro!
