  • Default User ID and Password for Various Routers

    Remembering my WRT54G default password and user ID can be difficult if I ever needed to reset my router. I have received a few e-mails regarding the default user ID and password for different routers. Most people that ask for this information usually have reset their router back to the factory default, but can’t seem to find the instructions to the router.

    I have decided to begin compiling a list of default user IDs and passwords for various routers. This is by no means a complete list, but I will add to it as time goes by.

  • Photoshop GIF Settings

    I have recently wrote a post titled Photoshop JPEG Settings where I described the various settings for a JPEG image in Photoshop. The settings were available via the Save for Web option in the File menu.

    In this post I will discuss the settings that you can change when saving an image as a GIF. There are more options available for a GIF file, mainly because of the limited colours (256) that can be saved in a GIF image file.

  • Review: Angelika

    There are thousands of blogs on the Internet today, and a vast majority of them are under the category of personal. For personal blogs, the authors write about the events that happen in their lives.

    Many people enjoy reading these types of blogs since they may read about someone sharing the same experiences. This week I review a personal blog about a single mother who enjoys writing in her blog on more than a daily basis.

    Photoshop JPEG Settings

    I have written several posts in the past relating to digital photos, and more specifically JPEG files. I have talked about the differences between JPEG and RAW files. In one post I also compare JPEG and GIF files, and provided examples to illustrate when to use a particular file type. The JPEG and GIF post also listed the settings I used to get the resulting image in Photoshop.

    When you save an image you are provided with many options to optimize your image for size and appearance. In this post I will describe each of the features associated with JPEG files to hopefully help you make a better decision.

  • Fix: Internet Explorer Opens a Blank Window

    I recently was informed of someone having an issue with Internet Explorer. The problem happened when they clicked on a link that opened a new browser window. Once the new window was opened, the new Web page was not requested and the browser window remained blank.

    After some quick searching, I came across a fix that was easy to perform and fixed the issue. I explain how to perform the fix in this post.

  • Review: AndroidGuys

    All the blogs I have reviewed up until this point in time have been mainly authored by one individual. Although for most blogs having one author is the norm, this week I review a blog that seems to go beyond that norm.

    From the design to the focus of this week’s blog, you will see that this isn’t your ordinary blog. This week I review AndroidGuys.

  • Windows Key Shortcuts

    In many previous posts I provided step-by-step instructions for performing certain tasks. At times I mentioned several methods of accomplishing one of the steps, and usually it involved using the Windows key on your keyboard. This key provides many shortcuts for commonly used functions within Windows.

    I have decided to compile a list of the various functions that the Windows key can accomplish for future reference. They are listed within this post.

  • How to Get the IP Address of Your Router

    I have written various posts about connecting your computer to the Internet, including how to connect using two different routers (Linksys’s WRT54G Wireless-G router and D-Link’s DI-524 wireless router), as well as various configurations.

    One topic I haven’t discussed is how to retrieve the IP address of your router. You may not know the IP address if, for instance, someone has configured your router and changed the default address. I will show you how to get it in this post.
