Wallpaperizer v1.2.1
I love going out and finding new ways to make my desktop look nice. I have seen folks that just have a few snapshots up or maybe a silly graphic centered in the middle and it makes me mad. There are so many beautiful wallpaper choices out there – why go with something that bland [...]

No matter where you turn, it always seems like there’s another organization asking for a donation. Granted, a lot of these funds are for very admirable causes, and I’m sure that we’ve all been moved by television advertisements that have shown people who are in desperate circumstances. You may have even donated some of your [...]
When Is The Supply Too Demanding?
Just before leaving on vacation, I ran into an interesting situation that has ramifications for tutoring seniors in computer literacy. The issue is why should seniors trust a tutor? Why should they trust anyone? How does a senior untrained in a discipline know if the fee is fair? A neighbor woman who lives by herself [...]
Why I Often Fail to Read Your Emails
I get a lot of email, and I get a lot of spam (a couple of my Gmail accounts collect thousands a month). Very little spam gets through to my primary account – perhaps a couple of dozen a day, because Gmail’s Bayesian filters are exceptional. Plenty of other trash does get through, however. Images [...]

If you want to change the permissions on a resource that you do not own, you must be assigned Full Control permission. If you are [...]
Freeware Tuesday?
Normally, I reserve freeware addiction group therapy for Fridays. I’m breaking the rules today – which is okay, since I’m the one who makes the rules (and will likely not fire myself over such an innocent transgression). There’s just too much software out there for any one computer to handle, but it’s nice to know [...]

Undelete Plus v2.2
We have all been in the situation before where we accidentally deleted that important file that you had been working on the past week. When you go to pull it out of the Recycle Bin, your fingers get slippery from all that stressful sweat and you hit “Empty Recycle Bin” instead. Is that file gone [...]

I always feel really guilty when someone asks me what I want for a gift. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been subjected to this on a routine basis lately due to the fact that I was just married a few weeks ago. These inquisitive gift givers have good intentions, and I’ve been trying to convince [...]
