Techie stuff that amaze me and LO share

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

I admit I spend so much time on the net everyday. I am always amazed by how much I can learn and snag (oh freebies!). Anyway, I've had Lightroom installed in my laptop months ago but never got around to tinkering with it. Until this week when I tried to open it and allowed myself to be awed by what it can do with my photos in, literally, a click! Not to mention that today, I learned to load presets, hehe. I was about to post a new topic over at the Bebots' forum on how to load presets when I thought of doing some research myself. I have a lot to learn!

Yesterday, I logged on to blogger and noticed this new feature posted as a bulletin. Well, have you heard of Blogger Play?!? It's a slide show of the photos and graphics uploaded to blogger in real time. It's a pretty distracting site yet I cannot stop looking. The snoop in me kicks in! Hehe. I find myself oohing and aaaahhing and sometimes asking "WTF is that?!?". Harhar!

Tonight, I installed in our PC ACDSee9. I've heard a lot of raves about this product and the moment I opened it, I understood. It is so much friendlier than the older versions, IMO.

It's amazing that a client (my BIL) would pay big and hardearned bucks for a service that sucks! Of course we didn't know that at first. But as the days went by, we realized that it is so unreliable to upload files for sharing. Ugh. I hope my BIL gets a money-back, he still has 79days left but we decided not to use it anymore.

Lastly, I finally scrap! You can view it here in my "creative" blog .

His laptop is slowing down.

Lately, my little big brother is complaining that his hand-me-down laptop is taking too much time processing. Now we all know that his machine is almost obsolete but we still offer him pieces of advice on how to make it still work for him (see, we can't afford to buy him a new one yet). He can delete some of the files and uninstall some of the unused programs. Or we can buy him a new memory to add to his existing one...like what I did with mine. It is important that we make sure we get the right ones (ie. Dell laptop = Dell Memory). I was told before when we were looking for additional memory for my laptop that we should be able to get the correct ones or I risk damaging my laptop altogether. Haven't got any problems with mine since then. It pays to know what should be done :)
