Mail big files for free

» 06 November 2007 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

Got big files you say? Outlook or Thundbird inbox gets filled up too fast? Well, sending files via websites are a good solution. I usually use mailbigfiles.com for sending big files. However that site has a restriction of 100mb (the free version of the site, that is)

This site is free too, but has a 2gb (!) limit. Though you have to register and tried it once and it just stopped. So I guess its not that good after all…?

Free too, 2gb limit. Havent tried it yet. But both are worth a shot.

A site called 9031.com has loads of cool screensavers, wallpapers, etc. for free. Especially I love the “briblo” screensaver. Which is really loads of legos falling. AND if you have dualscreen (like I do), each screen shows a different lego setup. COOL!

Changing a XP folder’s name text colour

» 28 August 2007 » In Uncategorized » 1 Comment

One day I came to work and suddenly all my folder texts were in ugly blue, rather than black. Being intolerant to changes (that I have not done on purpose), I eventually figured out how to fix the problem:

You can then set your folder view to display compressed folders in blue (Tools, Folder Option, View, Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in colour)

It will only slow things down a little as the operating system has to decompress the data when accessing it. Never seen it corrupt data.

Thanks to toms hardware for making me sleep better at night.. :)

Steve and Bill meet again

» 31 May 2007 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

The biggest guys in the data age met again. Thats Steve Jobs and Bill Gates for the novices.

Quite interesting how those guys are really similar (appearance, computer knowledge, voice etc), yet Steve always is a bit cooler. Just like Macs.. :P

A short summary of the meeting can be read: http://www.nytimes.com/technology/
