the-user-manual-site

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.

secunia-program

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.

It is important to ensure that your programs are updated, especially if it’s critical security hole. Cyber Criminals exploit these security holes to get access to computers, spread viruses and Trojans, and so on. It is not the only browser that is important to update. Security holes discovers in most types of software.
Secunia has a free tool called the Personal Software Inspector (PSI). I have written on the PSI before, but now has it updated, I thought is worthwhile to pay attention to it again. The program keeps track of your applications and then checks it against Secunias Security database, to test if the installed version needed updating. In the new version of PSI checks Browser Add-Ins – i.e. additions in the browser.

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).

microsoft-antivirus-morro1According 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!

drupal

Drupal is a free publication system that is developing open source. It is a complete CMS – Content Management System, used to build and maintain websites. In a way you can compare it with WordPress, even if WordPress is mainly used for blogs (of course can you use it to ‘normal’ web sites as well).

If the man who signed is the right snowbound on WordPress, it is easy to overlook Drupal. But the fact is that there is a very wide range of users to it, and it developed all the time. And it also creates new beautiful themes that you can use to your website. Tripwire magazine, has in a blog entry list of 200 free themes for Drupal. These can you download and use as you want on your Drupal-based web site.

google-statistic

If you run a website – whether it’s a great e-shop or a small private blog – it is always both fun and interesting to follow the statistics of how many visits the page, what they read and what’s popular, and so further. To do this you need a statistics tool, of course.

Usually has some sort of program essentially tells you how many visitors they encountered each day, if that. Sometimes people just an ordinary counter ticking up a step each time someone visits the page. It is easy to become comfortable and satisfied with it. I myself have been one, until I installed Google Analytics.

 

Analytics is free and although it looks very advanced out the first time you look at it, so it is easy to install and get started with. When one then begins to look a little more on the statistics you get, you realize how much information you can get. That is also why Google Analytics is having on the spot number 2 in instantShifts list of the 55 best ways tools for Track your Website daily traffic.

bitdefender-free-editionBitDefender Free Edition is a free version of the security company’s commercial anti-virus security. I ran the full version and can recommend it, because it gives a really good protection. Free variant is not a full-scale anti-virus because it lacks real-time protection.

 

Free Edition is classified as a virus scanner. It uses the same engine as the standard safety package, and can be used to scan through your computer to detect and remove virus infection. The program can be run together with other antivirus programs.

 

A virus scanner is good to have, if you have a computer that has become infected. By doing a complete scan of your hard disk by using BitDefender Free Edition, can you manage to overcome the misery. The Program is free to download from BitDefenders website.

It is never a question of a hard drive crashes and breaks down – instead, when it going to do it. No hard drives hold forever. This is something I repeat all the time, to teach people to take backups of important files. A hard drive holds not forever. They wear out pretty hard when the discs rotate around in, usually, 5400-7200 revolutions per minute when they work.

             

I checked my hard drives and one is in bad shape. It has kept on for a long time, so I was not particularly surprised by the result. I have long time planned to replace it, but it has not been done. Here is part of my digital photos with all my pictures of apartments, villas, plots, luxury properties and sold properties, (which I obviously have proper backups on). Often, unfortunately, that you do not change the disk until it actually collapses and can not be used more …

 

With the free software CrystalDiskInfo, you can find out how your hard drive is feeling. Is it okay, or is it starting to be worn? It is rather a rule than the exception that some areas of the disk are unusable. As a user you do not notice this, because Windows and the file system are smart enough to handle it in silence. CrystalDiskInfo watching among others at these things. A health status is presented and warns if your hard drive starts to crumble. I found this hint at Tkj. Thanks Tommy.

A good photo highlights really a web page or a blog post in general. But it is not all who can take good pictures, or have time to do it. Therefore, are sites like Xpress Photo splendidly to have a bookmark on. Here do you find over 346,000 digital photos you can download and use freely. The images are very high quality and are available in high resolutions. I have found many great photos of Marbella, luxury villas and apartments complex for our blogs.

 

It costs nothing to register as users of PhotoXpress. As normal user, are you limited to download maximum three pictures per day. You can increase this amount by filling in more information about yourself. Unfortunately, it apparently requires that you also send a text message, with a confirmation-code that this information has gone through.

 

Another option to get more credits to download the photo, is telling your friends about the site. You do this via a form that appears if you click Want more?  in the box that containing your credits.
