I recently published a post titled What is USB? where I briefly mentioned the problem of new computers only have USB ports. For many this may not seem like a problem, but for those that have devices that don’t use USB, this can be a problem.
For those with older printers that connect only to the parallel port, and you would still like to use that printer, I will provide instructions on how you can connect that old printer to the USB port in this post.
I have written several posts on image formats, their advantages and disadvantages. The one thing I haven’t really discussed is when to use a particular format over another. Depending on that type of image you have will determine which format you should choose. Most people may just choose JPEG, however, there are many times GIF may be more suitable.
I will explain when to use either GIF or JPEG with images using examples and comparisons between the two formats. Hopefully this post will help you make a more educated decision.
It seems most people that start a Web site or blog attempt to make money in some form from their endeavour. I for one have a few money making items on Technically Easy, so I fall into that category.
There are many new blogs that have started up with the main focus being making money online. This week’s review focuses on one of those blogs. This week I review a relatively new-comer to the “make money online” arena called BloggerNoob.
Once in a while I will get several digital photos as attachments in an e-mail, and the photos haven’t been resized. This is a problem as photos from a digital camera are usually 2MB and larger, which is quite big to send in an e-mail. Add to the fact that there are usually several photos being sent in an e-mail, and you can see that it can take some time to download the entire e-mail.
In this post I will show you a quick method of resizing your photos right in Windows XP that will make them ready for e-mailing or uploading to the Web.
Last year, someone I know updated his desktop PC. Once we begin to connect all the peripherals such as the keyboard and mouse we noticed something was missing: the serial ports. The only ports included in the desktop were USB ports.
In this post I will provide a brief overview of USB, provide a brief history and discuss what exactly a USB port is used for.
When talking technology, one aspect that is usually overlooked is that of site security. Not only is it important to monitor your computers using firewalls and anti-virus, but it is also important to provide security for the entire site.
123 CCTV Security Camera Surveillance Equipment is a company that specializes in site security and has served both home users and the Pentagon over the years. They offer security equipment that ranges from hidden cameras, to internal and external surveillance cameras.
Up until this point in my review writing campaign the Web sites that I have reviews have been various types of blogs. For this week’s review I have the opportunity to review a non-blog Web site, which is a nice change.
The focus of this week’s Web site is on water garden’s, what they are, how to create them, and other important information. After visiting this site I can easily tell this is on well planned, thought out and maintained Web site.
I’m not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy taking pictures. I try to take the best pictures I possibly can, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I bought my first digital camera in 2002, and since that time I have been learning some tricks and tips that I can use to take better photographs.
In this post I will provide some tips that have helped me through the last few years, and hopefully they will help you.
