In the days before Office 2010 (and above), I used to use AttachmentOptions to unblock file extensions in Microsoft Outlook. However the program doesn’t work in Office 2010. I hadn’t bothered to look for an alternative until recently. I found OutlookTools which seems to work well: OutlookTools is a support and advanced settings tool for …
I know that the world is moving on to Windows 8, but I’m still learning lots in Windows 7. One of the “new” features is the taskbar preview. This is when you hover over an item in your taskbar, and you see a preview thumbnail of the program that is running. I find it kind …
I have a Windows 7 computer and I connect to my home computer from work. For some reason Google Chrome works great at home, but when I connect remotely, it crashes on me.

The less money that is spent on IT, the better. Well, thankfully there are sorts of free/open source options out there. One that …
We are in the process of moving, and renting out our existing house. We have been measuring rooms, windows, trim, etc, and I wanted to do up some basic drawings. I searched online, and there are all sorts of options. I haven’t decided on the best one (this isn’t a review), but I figured I’d …
Have you ever wondered what colours would go best with a picture you have? Sometimes our brain can trick us into thinking that we see more green in a picture than is really there. It’d be great if there was a way to have a machine do that. What, there is! If you visit http://www.colorhunter.com/ …
I haven’t managed to go paperless yet, but I do try to keep as little paper around as I can. I scan a lot of things to PDF and save them in Google Documents. Whenever I do that, I like to have the text in the documents searchable. If all I do is scan a …
