Filedrop – copy files in networks without permission hassles

by

network copy

If your computer is connected to a network that multiple PCs are connected to, you sometimes may want to exchange files between those systems. It does not really matter if you own the systems you want to copy files between or if someone else is connected to the network. If you do not want to configure the home network or just connected your PC to a network and do not want to configure sharing options, you may use a program like Filedrop instead for that task.

Free PDF Creator for Windows

by

I do not really print that much anymore on paper, only the occasional contract that I have to sign or other legal documents that I’m required to sign and process. Other than that, I prefer to keep the printer spooler service and printer disabled. Using a virtual printer to convert documents into pdf format on the other hand can be an excellent way to do just that.  The main reasons for doing so are convenience, as you can send documents and information straight from any Windows program supporting print to the virtual printer to convert it and functionality as good solutions offer lots of customization options.

How to change the boot drive in Windows

Change boot drive in Windows

I have two Solid State Drives and one platter-based drive connected to my PC. One of the SSDs contains the Windows 7 operating system, the other nothing of importance anymore but the System Reserved partition. Any attempt to disconnect the drive from the system resulted in boot errors due to missing boot information. Since I do not really need that second SSD anymore I decided to find a way to move the System Reserved partition from that drive to my new SSD instead so that it would boot just fine without the second drive.

You’ve done all that, and now your sitting there safe and sound in Hiding your Network SSID, the knowledge that your network is on lockdown. Really?

”Go ogle” – stick och glo!

by

Google var från början bara en söktjänst för Internet. Den startades 1996 av Larry Page och Sergey Brin. Namnet Google kommer från den matematiska termen ”googol” som betecknar talet 10^100, en etta och hundra nollor. När Google var ett projekt på Stanford hette det ”Backrub”, eftersom sökmotorn studerade vilka som länkade till en viss sida för att avgöra hur viktig den var.
På ett mer skämtsamt sätt blir det om ordet Google inte sätts ihop  ”Go ogle”, vilket på svenska ungefär blir stick och glo! Att Google fått sitt namn med hjälp av en ihopsättning av ”Go ogle” förnekar dock företaget.
