Nice Free Photo Organizer “Google Picasa”

Digital photo cameras are nowadays every where. Photographing got easy and cheap for everyone. So there is a need to organize your photos easily. A cute nice tool for doing this is Google Picasa. And it’s free. It’s also available in German language.

I like it because it’s really easy to use and it offers many features:

• Organize photos
• Edit photos
• Create slideshows and more
• Share photos using Picasa Web Albums

Or you can generate collages, slideshow movies with one click like the following (pictures are taken at Port of Hamburg):

Hot Babe for Windows

Hot-babe is a small graphical utility which displays the system activity in a very special way. When the CPU is idle, it displays a dressed girl, and when the activity goes up, as the temperature increases, the girl begins to undress, to finish totally naked when the system activity reaches 100%. Of course, if you can be shocked by nudity, don’t use it!

Essential Security Tips for Windows XP

My personal recommendations for secure internet usage are easy and help a lot to avaid getting infected with unwanted software like a virus or trojaner. So take the following tips to heart:

• Activate Windows update and always install the updates
• Use a firewall/router. Best case is e.g. a hardware DSL router. If now hardware firewall can be used activate at least the Windows firewall
• Use a secure browser and mail reader like Firefox and Thunderbird
• Install a virus scanner which automatically updates it’s signatures

Using this few tips you are already quite secure and it’s not much effort.

Annoyed from Caps Lock?

EVERYONE KNOW’S IT… hups… entering a password doesn’t work and so on. Why? Caps Lock is activated.

Have a look at CAPSoff.org I agree, no one needs this useless and annoying key.

There is a good workaround from heise.de available to disable this key. Using this direct download link from heise.de you can download a Windows registry key which disables your caps lock key. To install double click on the CapsLockOff.reg and choose “yes”. Afterwards reboot your PC and caps lock will be disabled, how nice!
