I’m not a big fan of WordPress’ Visual editor so I usually gun for the Code. Unfortunately you may not have the keyboard shortcuts that you’ve been just too familiar with in the Code editor unlike in Visual where you can use Ctrl + B to use boldface.
However, the Code editor does have its [...]

Seems like I’m making up for not getting to post that many tech tips for the past week and pardon me if I’ve been focusing on Word 2007. Doing all of these academic writing had me staring at Word 2007 for a good number of hours lately. Long enough for me to see some of [...]

This is a rarity but for some reason, I’m loving Office 2007’s styles. I’ve been writing a short paper on some topics in linguistics and I used them to format. And do they look neat and professional. Some of them even mimic layout styles you find in books giving your work a classy look.
However, [...]

A while back, we wrote about that news warning that video streaming is placing a huge strain on internet infrastructure worldwide, fearing that the Web might just grind to a halt. Cross-posting the idea on my website even merited being called an idiot in so many words. People just hate the what-ifs, huh? In [...]

I was surprised at the message Firefox popped up just now. It prompted me that Firefox 2.0.0.5 is ready for installation and I did. I must have missed this update on my RSS feed reader. In any case, I’ve checked the release notes to see what’s with this latest incarnation.
Apparently, this is more of [...]

One of Vista’s security features is a thing called User Account Control (UAC) and one of it’s more family-friendly capabilities is Parental Control. It allows the parent (or administrator) to control what certain accounts in the computer can do - limit surfing capabilities, set program access and control, even set time limits. And what’s [...]

After a week or so of dealing with Office 2007, I’ve started to be settle with the Ribbon thing. The Ribbon is Office 2007’s replacement for the layers of toolbars that were previously found in 2003 and older. While I do miss the novelty, it now has struck me that the Ribbon has made [...]

Ever since games became more and more interactive, there are now a lot of reasons why gamers should fall into that harsh stereotype of fat and pimply geeks with no lives. Well, save for MMORP gamers. But with the days of Dance Dance Revolution and Wii Sports, we’ve read a lot of reports of [...]

Speaking of Firefox, I just can’t wait for the release of Firefox 3. Unfortunately for me, it will still be a few months before I could get hold of the third major incarnation of my favorite browser.

Now here’s one for a dose of retro. How about some Pacman on your Firefox? Yup, that’s right. You read it. Play Pacman on Firefox. with the Pacman add-on.
It plays pretty much like your good old Pacman game. It’s pretty much straight up (complete with the retro sound effects) only you get to play [...]

Ever since that tragic day, the US government has gone through lengths to ensure the safety of its people. Probably one of the most apparent signs of this is the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security. It presents a color scheme of five threat levels depending on the level of risk.

Video games are so popular these days. With your kid hunched over the PC or console set, determined to destroy the enemies, you can’t be unconcerned if the violence of these video games won’t affect his behavior. It’s really a concern why many kids “have no lives at all” opting to play video games rather [...]

The problem with the latest Microsoft releases is that they aren’t backward compatible. Take Vista for example. There are only a special number of software that run on it. Good thing they weren’t that inconsiderate with Office 2007. At least, there’s still the option for you to save using older document formats. By the [...]
