Launch Multiple Programs
Malimit po sa atin kung magbukas ng application sa Start, pa-isa-isa. Hindi nyo ba napapansin? Whenever you click the shortcut, nawawala na yung menu na lumalabas sa Start... Eh paano kung gusto natin na magbukas ng maraming applications nang hindi na paulit-ulit na iki-click yung Start button? May solusyon ba sa problema? Oo naman siempre! Remember dati na meron tayong ginawang batch file na nakalagay doon yung mga pangalan ng shortcuts sa desktops tapos isang icon na lang para sa lahat, tandaan nyo? OKies... Eto pa ang isang alternative doon.
Note: Yung batch file, para sa mga application yun na lagi mong ginagamit, yung gusto mo na sabay-sabay nagbubukas... yung the usual. for example: bukas ka ng dial-up, then IE, OE, Yahoo! Messenger, mIRC., eto namang susunod, selective kumbaga... ibig kong sabihin kung ano lang yung gusto mong buksan

Madali lang po... click Start, hold down the SHIFT key while you click the icon(s). Try nyo!

Did you know that...?
By pressing the WindowsKey+Spacebar scrolls down the browser window one page at a time? I bet you don't know that! Just press the SHIFT key then WindowsKey+Spacebar, para pataas naman...

Computer Term of the Week

Plug-And-Play
Refers to the ability of a computer system to automatically configure expansion boards and other devices. You should be able to plug in a device and play with it, without worrying about setting DIP switches, jumpers, and other comfiguration elements. Since the introduction of the NuBus, the Apple Macintosh has been a plug-and-play computer. The Plug and Play (PnP) specification has made PCs more plug-and-play, although it doesn't always work as advertised. (Webopedia.com)

Ok, that concludes our Computer Tips for the week. I'll get back to bed and sleep dahil kanina pa akong 12:30 nag-iinternet.

COMPUTER TIPS 15 (December 3, 2003)

Grabe December na and baby, it's cold outside (Frank Sinatra)! Kainis lagi na akong maagang nagigising, nauuna pa ako sa alarm clock ko. Sana ngayong Christmas regaluhan nyo ko... hindi ng kahit ano ha. Huwag kayong mag-aalala gagawa ako ng Holiday Wish List ko tapos post ko sa site. Lima lang siguro para kaya nyong paghati-hatian. Ayos?!

Since this is the last month of the year, maybe it's time for me to tell you kung ano yung mga AYAW KO especially sa internet and computing. Then after this email siguro you should start making your New Year's Resolution (too early)... Saan ko ba pwedeng umpisahan??? Ok, alam ko na. Here it goes:

1. Chain emails (parang chain letters), alam nyo yun...!? Yung mga emails na sa huli nakalagay, if you pass this to 10-20 people in your address book your wish will come true in less than a minute. If you will not pass this, you will have bad luck. Man! Naniniwala ba kayo sa ganun?

2. Forwarded emails. Most of the time kapag nakakareceive ako nyan abay pagkarami-rami ng mga addresses na nakikita minsan nga mas marami ka pang mababasang email address kesa dun sa pinaka-message eh. Edit-edit aba! Alam nyo ba, most of you na nakakareceive nitong tips ay nakita ko lang yung email addresses sa mga ganung emails. Kung sa mga barkada/friends nyo lang kayo magsend ng ganun and their addresses appears sa Cc: or sa To: ok lang. Eh paano kung yung barkada nyo eh forward lang ng forward? tapos yung barkada ng barkada nyo eh ganun din? Eh di hanggang Europe na makakarating ang email address mo?
Disadvantages of this two:
1. Dagdag lang sa traffic yang email tapos wala pang kakwenta-kwenta
2. Medyo mas babagal ang loading ng email kasi madaming address na nakalagay
3. Siempre, it will eat some space. Instead of having 2KB na email magiging 4K or more gawa ng mga addresses na hindi mo tinanggal.
4. Lahat ng padadalhan nun, makikita yung address mo (siempre kasama na rin yung name mo, eh minsan kung ano yung isinave ng kaibigan mo na pangalan para sa iyo yun ang nalabas... paano kung b*tch or a$&h!@^ ang inilagay eh di magagalit ka pa sa kanya?) and eventually makakareceive ka na rin ng email galing sa hindi mo kakilala.

Come on, isang sem na lang magiging IT professionals na tayo and still kung magemail tayo para rin tayong beginners. Oh baka galit na kayo sa akin nyan... Teka huwag kayong tumayo, we're still having a formal class (Ma'm Alemanya).

Quick Tip

To continue, para naman makabawi ako sa inyo. Here's another alternative for Close, Alt+F4, X, etc.:

ALT + Spacebar + C

Did You Know That...
Pwede nyong gamitin ang Google as calculator? Ayaw nyong maniwala? Why don't you give it a try!
If you're some kinda fanatic sa Google, try nyo din to... walang masyadong use pero masaya (kung fanatic nga kayo eh) instead of typing just http://www.google.com add kayo ng /microsoft or /linux or /mac.

Google is so cool! I am for Google!
