I’ve been trying to hack away at those few pounds I’ve gained from my very sedentary office life for the past months now. I haven’t really enrolled into a gym program but am doing all the workout all by myself. Until I realized, I’m lacking one of the elements that a gym program would [...]

I’ve had my fair share of coding web pages from CSS to the xHTML. It’s tough, especially when you’re a hardcore nut who refuses to use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors like Dreamweaver. Just a text editor and Firefox, baby!
While, being that old school has its satisfactions, it does also [...]

If there’s another thing that Windows doesn’t let its users do is to compare fonts. Sure, you can pop open the Windows Fonts folder and double-click on the font files for a preview but it only shows you a few details. You can also launch Microsoft Word and check out the fonts via the [...]

The more tips I dish out here on LifeSpy, the more I get to learn that people love to do away with little computing quirks that annoy them. Take that Firefox Download window for example. I never knew how people would love shifting it to the status bar since the default pop-up behavior annoys [...]

It’s been a while since I logged on into an IRC channel to chat but I know many still prefer IRC over other chat services such as Yahoo! or instant messaging. MIRC was one of the more popular IRC clients back in the day and I remember getting nuked and bombed and contracting all [...]

With all the brouhaha of how Google and other web services can profile us through our searches and by logging our IP, it’s important to use anonymity tools. Tor is supposedly one of the better tools out there but from my experience, using its proxy service halved my speed. Plus, set-up can be quite [...]

Two days ago, I featured a Firefox add-on that tidies up the Downloads window by putting it in the status bar. If you don’t like the bar taking up just a bit more of your browsing space (especially those with lower definition screens), then this might be your alternative - Downloads in Tab.
It’s an [...]

Duplicate files can take a lot of space in your hard drive. And as always, a cluttered hard drive can be a pain. Defragmenting helps. But if there’s just too much data in your hard drive, even defragmenting can take a long time.

It’s really the faddish thing to do nowadays but Flash sucks in terms of accessibility. Flash animations (used in banners and ads) can take too long to load. And they can be quite annoying when all you need is a piece of information (like a line of text perhaps). If you’re not really into [...]

I’ve worked as an editor before. Probably one of my used tools in Microsoft Word was the track changes feature. But sometimes, when some subeditors work on a document, they forget to enable this feature so the changes become lost in space. That can be a big hassle and a crimp on the workflow.

One of the tabs I usually keep open is my Google Personalized Homepage. For me, it’s like a car’s dashboard that’s too essential to just do away with. I lovingly customized to suit mine to suite my needs. One thing that I find a bit off though is the fact that I have to [...]
