Google Calendar

Google Calendar is one of Google services. From its name, you should be able to guess what it is all about. Yes, it's like an organizer where you can type in your plan on certain dates, that means organizing your activities or plannings including finance.

People used to carry organizers in the form of book with dates and blanks in it. They fill in their activities and plannings in the organizer they write, also like a diary book.

Then when technology had become more advanced, they started to use "digital organizer" in the form like a calculator. This digital organizer usually has the function of a phone book, calculator and planner. Some of them come with a dictionary.

Then since the past few years, people have started to use PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) which has more functions than that one I mentioned before.

But all of the organizers are things that you need to bring along with you. If you like to make plannings or write diary or plan activities using computer, you can try using certain software (most of them are freeware - you can also find two organizers freeware in my previous posts).

Then if you still want to have organizers that you can use online, every time you go online or anytime you want, you can use "Google Calendar". It's just as simple as those free organizer software. And the advantages of using Google Calendar is that you can access it with the limitation of time and space, but still you need to go online. Thanks for the free organizer, Google!

Create your own doll picture and save the picture

Cartoon doll becomes popular and many people especially kids and teens love to play with. There are quite a lot of sites that let you choose you doll and then put the costume on your doll. Children usually like to do this for fun because they can unlock their imagination to creating different costume dolls.

Many years ago, before technology has become so advanced (I mean the computer technology especially internet), children used to play with tiny paper doll actually not doll but pictures which you cut out of a card board. That time, many children enjoyed playing just by putting the paper clothes paper over the paper picture doll.

But as soon as internet becomes so common, people create sites that enable parents and their children spending time and enjoying themselves at electronic doll game that can be played online. You don't have to cut out the paper clothes for the paper picture doll. What children do is to click-drag and drop the clothes on the doll character.

You can visit this site, http://www.cartoondollemporium.com. Now you can also try it yourself. See my Hello Kitty.

Asus Eee PC has no CD-ROM drive

Asus Eee PC doesn't come with a CD ROM drive. So, when you need to install a program you need an external CD/DVD ROM drive. When you can't install a program using your netbook like Asus Eee PC, you can of course buy the external drive. But you have to spend quite a lot of money for this. The drive usually cost around $100, You'd better buy a laptop with the drive along.

But there's a way where you don't have to spend too much. Using a connector and a used computer CD ROM drive can solve it. The connector usually costs around $10 or a bit more. Then you can save almost $90. With the connector, you can also install an ATA or SATA drive easily.

Asus Eee PC forum site

Asus Eee PC is now widely use for many purposes, like for home, school and office. It is so portable because of it's size and weight. But if you don't like small screen laptop, this one is probably unsuitable for you.

I have always wanted to buy Asus Eee PC. The price is getting lower and lower. But what makes me consider again and again is the screen which is too small and also the USB ports which mean I have to plug and unplug my usb device. Another problem is that it doesn't have the CD/DVD ROM drive that comes along like other laptop. But I really like its portability. I have always wanted to know more about Asus Eee PC. But don't know where to get the info. Sometimes, I just search from Google or Yahoo, hoping to find some useful information of Asus Eee PC.

Just now, when I was searching for Puppy Linux, I found a link to a forum of Asus Eee PC users. If you want to know more of a product, you should get the information from a forum. The users in a forum will tell their problems in using it and many important and useful tips can be learned from the members in their discussion. Well, start visiting this forum I recommend for you if you want to buy or just learn to know more about Asus Eee PC.

Sea Monkey and Ice Weasel

Recently I started to try Linux by running the Live CD. I tried Puppy Linux and Sidux. Puppy Linux is a light weight, fast booting and fast to turn off the computer. But Sidux is only as fast as Puppy Linux in turning off the PC. It's not fast in booting.

Actually the test I made most on both Linux distro is going online the internet i.e. browsing through Yahoo and trying to play the video on Youtube. Of course, I used the browsers that come with the Linux distro. Puppy Linux uses Sea Monkey. Sidux uses Ice Weasel. Both browsers are quite nice.

I ran the Puppy Linux on a computer which had been connected to the internet through a server that means it works as a server. The server of the Puppy Linux uses ADSL connection. But I ran the Sidux distro right from another computer directly connected to the internet using ADSL connection (so it's not a client computer). I found that Sidux ran very fast when opening a page. Actually Ice Weasel also ran very fast. I noticed that Sidux only needed about 3 seconds to open Yahoo page which Windows Internet Explorer or Firefox needs more time to open the same page.

What rather makes me a little bit disappointed with Ice Weasel is that I can't play Youtube videos directly because I need to install the plugins in order to play Youtube videos, therefore it runs that fast in Sidux. But in Sea Monkey running on Puppy Linux, you don't have this problem. You can just play directly without having to install any plugins. I am really happy to have Puppy Linux for client computer and Sidux Linux for fast browsing and perhaps as the server.

Knowing more about USB cable

I have always wanted to know more about USB. Since I knew that USB has a power voltage of +5 Volts, I have always thought about making use of USB power for making some custom or personalized USB stuffs (for fun only). Nowadays, all computers whether desktop or laptop have come with USB ports. These ports are also at the back or at the front of your casing of desktop computer. For laptop, at least there are two USB ports. These ports can be used to connect to peripherals like flash disk, hub, printer, scanner, modem, digital camera, or even unusual usb products such as, usb air conditioner, usb blender, usb eye massager, etc. There are too many usb products to talk about.

Inside a USB cable, there are four cables which are two power cables and two data cables. A USB cable has the red cable as power (5V) and the brown cable as the ground. It also has a pair of twisted cables (yellow and blue) to carry data. The four cables form a USB cable. So, if you want know exactly, you should cut it yourself and see it yourself!

Remove Autorun Virus on Flash Disk

Virus which infects flash disk is a very common thing that happens in daily computing. This is probably because mostly people use flash disk to keep their data and tranfer them. This way of plugging in and out from a usb port is also very easy to get the flash disk infected by viruses.

The most common kind of virus, which antivirus usually detected on my flash disk is the virus that uses autorun.inf to invoke itself into memory. Sometimes, this kind of virus can be easily detected but rather hard to be removed. This kind of virus also infects harddisk and other media as well.

Normally, people use antivirus to remove viruses. But, I have ever met a situation where viruses can't be removed although it can be detected by antivirus. When we choose to delete the infected files or the virus file, it seems to be deleted. But a while later, it appears again. Really annoying!

The easiest way to remove virus is of course format the media which has been infected by the virus, if possible using a virus-free clean operating system such as Linux live cd. But this of course cost you a lot of time, and effort to reinstall the operating system as well as the programs. This is not really advisable unless it's the only way, because at least we need to back up the data on the media before formatting (usually this is harder when it happens to harddisk).

But the situation is different when it's on flash disk. If the virus is just an autorun-type virus, we can easily remove by using the formatting flash disk method. I have ever met that kind of situation. My antivirus could detect the virus that time but could not remove it cause it came back right after the deletion. So, I thought perhaps I should copy the data first. I did that smoothly, the data were transferred to harddisk and the antivirus detected the virus again. But the antivirus seemed to be able to stop the virus from infecting my harddisk. Luckily, I got the data without the virus.

After having the data copied, I formatted the flash disk, and this time I successfully removed the autorun virus from my flash. Then, I copied back the files which I had moved to my harddisk to the flash disk again. And that's how I removed the autorun virus on flash disk which could be detected, but couldn't be removed by antivirus.
