    Jimmy Updated on March 12th, 2010 ( 8 views ) No comments

    If you use wordpress theme, usually there are a place for you to put widgets. Somehow, there is a time when you want to insert something (ex: banner) at other area than the widget. You might find this quite difficult to do especially if you do not have enough skill in CSS and PHP language.

    In this case, you can try to install a Mozilla Firefox addon called Firebug to help you inspect a blog theme. After inspecting a theme, you will have an idea where to put the desired coding for the banner.

  • KMPlayer solved MKV subtitles problem

    Jimmy Updated on February 28th, 2010 ( 42 views ) No comments

    MKV video format usually contains video, audio, and subtitle in a same file. That means sometime subtitle file is already embedded inside the MKV file. However, user tends to get problem regarding MKV subtitles. Even for me, the subtitle isn’t showing although I’ve tried many ways. Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player did not work for me. I am sure that there are a few ways that can be done to make the MKV subtitles work with Media Player Classic, but I am too lazy to go through all the hassles.

    Then I cross upon a video player called KMPlayer. Although the name is still new to me, this video player works greatly. It shows subtitle very well and you can even adjust the subtitle size easily. Besides Read the rest of this entry »

  • How to print effectively

    Jimmy Updated on February 23rd, 2010 ( 30 views ) No comments

    Sometimes people always overlook something that is actually simple to do. For example, do you know that there is a way to print a lot of files in one click? Usually you need to print Microsoft Word documents that contains in different files. Certain people will open the file one by one, and print it one by one. Too much time needed and wasting time.

    If they tried to learn about Operating System a bit more, they will know that they can actually print in a bulk by selecting all of the Microsoft Word files, right click and then press ‘Print’. Done. So easy. In contrast to printing the document files manually, you cannot edit the file first or change how the files are going to be printed.

  • Free picture editor

    Jimmy Updated on February 11th, 2010 ( 207 views ) 1 comment

    I am sure you already noticed that most of the posts in this blog have at least one image in it. Since embedding image is only optional task, I do not want to spend a lot of time in editing it. That’s why Adobe Photoshop is not my choice since it needs more times to load. Besides that, Adobe Photoshop is not free.

    How about Paint? Nah.. Don’t even remind me about that. Paint really lacks functionality and doesn’t satisfy me at all.

    After save, snap or print screen a picture, I usually use one of these two free picture editor software for editing tasks. If you are a blogger, these two soft-wares are essential.

    IrfanView review


    • Irfan View is really a light weight picture editor. I always use Irfan View to paste and then resize the picture to certain size. The best about Irfan View is that the picture will remain its quality although after resizing. Read the rest of this entry »

    As a students, I need to print a lot especially from PowerPoint file. As a way to save ink and paper, I believe most students will compact 4 slides of Microsoft PowerPoint into one A4 page.

    Yes, there is actually a way to maximize the size of a slide (for multiple slides per page printing only). Read the rest of this entry »

  • How to design T-Shirt

    Jimmy Updated on January 23rd, 2010 ( 595 views ) 4 comments

    Hi guys? I am sure most of you have club or organization T-Shirt that is self design by your club member. Some of them might design the T-Shirt by using hand and then leave the rest of the task to the shirt printing service company. In my secondary school, my friend make a really complex design and sent it to Bizandry. Although the price is a little high, the quality is awesome. Exactly just like the hand design.

    For some designer, they are comfortable to use Adobe Photoshop for designing. After finished, they send the design to the printing service. Most of them think that designing using Adobe Photoshop will make the design at the shirt will be the same after printing. This is totally wrong.
