I have to say this is the first time I’ve ever done any planning for my trips 😉 I’ve always thought it will take a long time to plan for a trip, and its impossible to do it within a day or two, but this time I’ve proven that planning could be a lot easier with the help of technologies like the online maps and of course, emails and websites 😀

APC (Australian Personal Computer) is the ONLY computer magazine that I buy every month 😀 They have a section in the magazine that is dedicated to people’s End User Stories. If your story got published, you will get a Microsoft Mouse for FREE! This month (Oct) they are giving away the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 worth 99.95!!! Since I have had a bit of experience on the helpdesk this semester, I think I should give it a go by sending them the story below…hope they will use it 😉

Launchy – Quicksilver for Windows
Posted in Apple, Computer Tutorials, IT, Microsoft, Software, tagged Launchy, Quicksilver. on October 15, 2007| 4 Comments »
Quicksilver is one of my favorite apps on the Mac platform, but what about Windows? Is there anything we could use on Windows that acts more or less the same as Quicksilver on the Macs? Well, it turns out that there are quite a few! I personally prefer Launchy, which is an open source keystroke launcher for Windows 🙂

How to extend Vista’s trial period to 120 days.
Posted in Computer Tutorials, IT, Microsoft, tagged 120 days trial, Reduced Functionality Mode, RFM, slmgr -rearm., Vista on October 10, 2007| Leave a Comment »
If your friends are still not sure whether they should get Vista or not, then you can tell them to use Vista as a trial and experience this great OS themselves. But the initial trial period is only 30 days, and for some, that’s not enough, so what can we do? Reinstall every 30 days until we’ve decided to get it? That’s probably not the best option unless you’ve got lots to spare time to kill. Here is a simple tutorial to show you how to extend Vista’s trial period to 120 days, which is probably more than enough for most of us 😉
