I work in a relatively safe environment, yet it may very well happen that I need to prove something that someone said in my office, so I can hold it against them when the time comes. My laptop is always turned on, so I could use it to record the environmental sounds around it, with [...]
Download IrfanView (if you already don’t have it installed, it is an awesome image viewer, and great for basic editing with its Paint plugin, installed by default) After opening the main viewer window, go to File>Batch Conversion/Rename What opens is a window crammed with options and tools, with which you can: Convert between different formats [...]
Chances are that you are trying to have your Android phone sync with Outlook via MyPhoneExplorer, but whatever you do won’t work, since as soon as you try to connect, the procedure stops at “identification” and MyPhoneExplorer pops up a “phone could not be identified” error.

I should mention now that I am a happy user of this OS on my HD2 since a while ago, after discovering that CalenGoo is a great substitute for Microsoft’s Pocket Outlook calendar, and that HanDBase in its Android version can be tricked into doing the [...]
No matter the server performance, the fastest kind of website for a visitor is the one with static HTML pages; this way the server just has to upload existing data to the browser instead of starting the PHP compiler, open a connection to MySQL, fetch data, format the page and only after that send it.
