New Feature Coming Soon! The Java Hut

by OwnerRPayer on Feb.21, 2012, under Web Development

This new page, (The Java Hut), will have information and links to some of the JavaScripts that I have collected over the years.

I will also write a brief article about What JavaScript is and some of the cool ways you can use it on your website.

There will also be a list of links so you will be able to see the examples in action and get the code to use on your own site.

I will try to include a wide range of examples, from photo galleries to games like Pong, Battleship, Chess and others.

Why don’t I have a Donate Button displayed on my blog?

by OwnerRPayer on Feb.14, 2012, under General Computer Task, Uncategorized

Lately I have received a few comments from people stating that they would LOVE to make a donation to help support my blog but I don’t have one of those fancy shmansy (that is a word by the way) donate buttons.
Well the reason I don’t have one of those fansy shmansy donat…
Oh wait, there’s one of those buttons right over there! ——>>

“My Bad” as they say.
Anyway, if you visit my blog often and find the information useful, by all means feel free to donate a buck or two. Of course this will surely put me under pressure to start adding more features and posting more often.

Disable the “Snap windows feature” in MS Windows 7

by OwnerRPayer on Dec.27, 2011, under General Computer Task

Do you wish you were the one controling how your open windows were displayed on the screen rather then letting MS Windows 7 decide with that new feature called “crazy automatic resizing, moving and snapping windows to who knows where” feature?

Take back control by diong the following:
>> Open the Control Panel.
In Category view select:
>> Ease of Access
>> Change how your mouse works.
Under the “Make it easier to manage windows” section, select the check box:
>> Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen
>> Click APPLY
This will turn off and disable the Snap windows feature.

A picture tells a thousand words!

by OwnerRPayer on Oct.16, 2011, under General Computer Task

If you’re like the rest of us PC users, you may, on occasion, need to take a picture of some area of your computer screen.
This is helpful when trying to explain a problem or solution to something. It’s also useful if you need to create some type of tutorial for screen or print. MS
Windows comes with a tool called the “Snipping Tool”. To access this tool go to the following: Click on the start button/All Programs/Accessories/Snipping Tool.
Just drag the cursor around the area you want to capture and then choose SAVE AS/SAVE AS TYPE. Use GIF for simple text or clip art and JPG for more detailed stuff, like photo’s etc.

CD door won’t open?

by OwnerRPayer on Sep.28, 2011, under General Computer Task

Have you ever pressed the button on your CD rom drive to open it and nothing happens? Instead of pushing it half a dozen times then bashing it another half dozen times, try this.

Get a flash light and find the tiny hole that should be somewhere next to the door that seems to be super glued shut.
Straighten out a paper clip and stick it in the hole. With any luck, the door should open up allowing you to get the CD thats been stuck in there for the last six months.

Snail mail FRAUD

by OwnerRPayer on Sep.28, 2011, under Uncategorized

I thought I should pass this along. If you receive mail from a company “Domain Name Registry of America” Just throw it away. This company searches for domain names that will expire soon and sends the owners a notice with the following warning: You must renew your domain name to retain exclusive rights to it on the web, and now is the time to transfer and renew from your current registrar to the Domain Registry of America. Failure to renew your domain may result in a loss of your online identity. They charge $35.00 a year for domain names, which is about twice as much as most companies charge. I called the company informing them that I was a Web Developer and wanted to now why they were scaming the public but they declined to comment. DONOT send these people any money!

Creating an Autorun.inf file for a CD

by OwnerRPayer on Jun.22, 2011, under General Computer Task

OK, here is a very cool tip that few people know how to do.
Here is the situation. You have some type of presentation like a power point, flash video, or maybe a copy of your website that you have burned to a CD. You want to give this to friends or customers right?

Rather then having them see a bunch of files and or folders when they insert the CD into thier CD-rom drive, you would prefer a specific file to open/start automatically. Here is how you could accomplish this.

Go into Notepad and create a file with the code shown below. We will assume you have a copy of your website and you want the home page (index.html) to automatically be displayed when the CD is inserted.

[autorun]
shellexecute=index.html

Name the file Autorun.inf and place it with rest of the files before you create the CD.
If all goes well, when the CD is placed into the CD-rom drive, instead of seeing the files/folders themselves, the home page should automatically be displayed. This is especially usefull if the file is some type of video/flash presentation etc.

by OwnerRPayer on Jun.08, 2011, under Uncategorized

I know, its been to long since I last posted here so I decided to reward those who have been waiting patiently by adding a new feature to my blog. I figured it was time I gave you (and myself) a break, dust some of the old tech cobwebs aside, relax and share what I’ll call “My YouTube video Hot pick of the week”
I will try to post a new video link weekly when time permits. So without further ado, here is the first link from my personal all time favorite video list from YouTube.
My hot pick of the week – June 8th
